I had to read this like six times to see what was wrong (Is he too close to the edge of the bed? Is it the fire?) because celebrating month-version of birthdays is absolutely common in my circle. How many Facebook photos involve numbered blocks or elaborate printouts with the month? (That wasn’t my thing, but I’m lame…

Well as of January 20, 2017 our whole government will be pretty aggressively and passionately anti-science so...

Finally, a silver lining to this election:

That’s exactly how I felt while reading “Lean In.” If you haven’t seen it already, though, check out Sandberg admitting she was wrong about some things - I think it’s sincere and humble. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/facebook-…

Why are they pushing for this terrible law? What’s their basic justification? I don’t get it.

Thanks for this. This is just all so unnecessary. Let’s let this poor woman rest in peace. Hearing “stage IV” is basically being issued a death sentence. If my options were chemo and six months of life or no chemo three months of life, I’d pick the latter every single time and revel in being with my friends and family…

She did undergo treatments, and they didn’t work, and she didn’t want to continue them. See http://thislifeilive.com/ring-the-bell/ and http://theboot.com/joey-and-rory-…. She had stage IV cervical cancer, which has a 5 year survival rate of less than 15%.

She caught Bobby Jindal syndrome (or, as I like to call him, Piyush).

Congratulations! I hope you have a comfortable pregnancy. :)

I tweeted:

He’s been a crazy loser for a long time now:

I love that word! My mom and her friends always use that word and I smile whenever I hear or read it. :)

Such beautiful bags! And yes, they last forever.

I understand that it was Yves Saint Laurent and that Yves passed away; but he died in 2008 and the brand didn’t change until 2012.

Looking back it seems like I was replying to the whole thread and not just your comment. I didn’t mean to offend and I’m sorry if I upset you - totally not my intent.

I also don’t love the look of logos, and also love vintage - but Louis Vuitton and Gucci, just to name two, have been doing logo bags (with treated canvas and fabric, respectively) for decades. When Coach started the C logo fabric bags (2000ish, in the Reed Krackoff era), it became “affordable luxury” (or, in my mind,…

The Kardashians are garbage people and nothing they do is smart or good or worthy of our time.

Agreed. I feel like I have to write this comment whenever people come down hard on weddings, but much like everything else, shitty people make shitty demands and awesome people don’t. My husband and I had a huge wedding party. I had ten bridesmaids. They ranged in sizes 0-26, and in incomes from grad student to…

Tithing was neither invented by Catholics nor is it exclusive to the Catholic church. The concept of giving 10% to God or charity is an ancient near eastern concept. In many places in the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament (including from Abraham and Jacob in Genesis) tithing is mentioned. I’m Jewish and I joke that my…
