I love the tiktok. But I’m on the food, kink, and funny women algorithm, so I’ve missed the dancing teens. In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen a dancing teen video in weeks.

But I know I’m really old because that is not the same Gwen Stefani I grew up with--that is a rebooted Gwen Stefani.

The kids on POC Tiktok know how it works. They create hilarious and amazing content that gets copied by white kids and then blows up. The originators rarely get credit or clout for their creations. And yet they are thriving and continuing to create. Tale as old as time...

I’m the mother of the rare teen who does not have a TikTok account. Instead, she’s into cottagecore and I’m here for it!

Bali Contiki tours called...they want their $2 sarongs back.

Yes, because it’s ripping off her palette, but applying it to the kind of batiks/weaving inspired prints you find in hippy, world fashion joints. French is basically taking two different kinds of rich-ish white woman fashion, and smooshing them together in the blandest, most derivative and uninspired way.

Do any of these people understand that ikat and batik spring from non-white cultures?  Way to show your Republican pride, ladies!

Certainly looks like it. These are fine, but Lilly Pulitzer at least has the clever artwork (the name is hidden in all of the designs). These dresses are just plain patterns in bright colors.

Seriously. And it’s also ugly ass shit to boot.

My kids aunts, uncles and cousins on their mom’s side are all pretty close and live in the same town & for the most part in walking distance of each other). We all work in healthcare or in “ essential” jobs. Considering work schedules we had to pivot early to our summer plan where an adult that is off will mind the…

Just give it a few weeks!

We are two full time working from homers with a 1st and 2nd grader and no family within a days’ drive. DH and I were talking about who would take our kids if we both got sick and we would either have to reach out to our church or social services because our nearest relatives also have health concerns (age, diabetes…

I didn’t realize how much of a mama’s boy he was until we were married (because his mom lives on the other side of the world). Anytime he complains about our son being a mama’s boy I’m like”Ugh, he learned from the master.”

Heh, I love how people will draw down on others who might have to hire someone to come in and keep an eye on the little ones : “why it’s irresponsible, blah, blah, blah”.

My husband and I don’t agree on who should get our son if something happened to both of us. My brother lives 30 minutes away, he and his wife have two kids, one the same age as my son, and we all see each other regularly, at least 1-2 times a month. We are who would get their two kids if something happened to them,…

Most single parents (and many dual parents) don’t have someone who could safely watch their child(ren) in a pandemic. I’m a single parent and have an arrangement with a lovely family, but it is at great risk to them, if I had it, for my child to bring it into their already cramped house, and to a child and mum who has…

Is one of them supposed to quit their job or something?? Or are you suggesting they tie their child to lead and leave them outside during business hours?

Seriously. Working from home, kids doing virtual school, dogs and cats galore, everyone needs their own space to claim. Get me the fuck away from open!

This has crossed my mind honestly. My husband’s coworker is in the hospital with Covid and he sat behind my husband. His last contact with him was 16 days ago and we “seem” to be in the clear. It’s been a nerve wracking 16 days tho as we have a 3 year old and no immediate family other than my parents if something were…

Preach! People need their separate spaces more than ever right now!

Thank you! Because we’re bored, my husband and I watch Love It or List It, and I’m confident I saw three of the four seasons occur throughout the entire renovation process. It does not take an hour, like Michael Scott says.
