After reading your statement and backing away slowly many times, I’m finally wading in: Tacos are the pinnacle of sandwiches.

Or a reminder that the Trail of Tears under Jackson WAS declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. But he did it anyway. Because the Supreme Court has no power if it’s ignored.

Your weekly reminder that the WWII internment of Japanese-Americans (Executive Order 9066) was ruled Constitutional by the Supreme Court and the ruling has not been overturned, in case anyone has friends still pulling out the “checks and balances” and/or “the Constitution will stop him” arguments for how Trump would…

... I guess I should feel offended, but I feel nothing but exhaustion and a hollow, dried up feeling. Like I’m a zombie just waiting until November 8th to cast my ballot and then shuffle on out of this detested earth.  

I hate to be pedantic, but if the Loch Ness monster is real, then it wouldn’t have been a tadpole in 2003. Surely.

As a fat woman who gets plenty of the sex with plenty different types of people, many of whom look in a way that even thin folks consider “holy shit hot” territory, let me assure you— feeling insecure about how you look in the sack has nothing to do with weight and everything to do with patriarchally enforced…

Call WeightWatchers, because apparently a sex lightbulb is a major key to success. Succ-sex. Suck and Sex.

I need a recent update on LieutenantDanIceCream’s mom. I mean.. he’s older, I assume, and he’s seen his mom since he moved out at 18. Right?

Yeah, this is all totally inconsistent. Why offer sky miles when they’re following the safest protocol? If it’s standard policy, why didn’t this doctor already know about it? I’d like them to furnish this “policy”. And if that’s the case, wouldn’t they reinforce this by handing out notifications to all the doctors on…

My dad insisted that all us kids come at HIS convenience. This meant Mom’s doctor agreed to induce labor for her 3 times in 3 years. This was back in the ‘60s when moms got heavily sedated. Mom didn’t feel the strength of those contractions, and we were all 8 pounders. After vaginal deliveries, it’s not so rare to…

I’m calling it! New punk band name: The Frantic Kegels

Okay so it’s not really “gross” and I probably told this story before, but it’s still hilarious to me.

Well, I was literally bleeding out of my ass, and my doctor told me that I had a pilonidal cyst. Then came the awful question - “So, have you pulled any of the cyst out? It should have the appearance and consistency of old Crisco.”

Maybe her response is banal, but the challenges she faced to get to the point of dressing her kids up like pumpkins certainly can’t be compared to Blake Lively et al.

It could have been, but it wasn’t. My feeling is that even rote, cutesy questions about motherhood take on a fresher, more revealing meaning for lesbian couples, who’ve been (and still are, in so many places) legally and socially excluded from co-parenting for so long.

OP said nothing about trans people, at all. caitlyn jenner has proven time and time again to be a right wing jerk who doesn’t care about anyone but herself and her politics are directly responsible for the harm of trans people.

Brody Jenner has to be graded on a curve because the worthless piece of shit that is Caitlyn Jenner raised him.

Like, I can see the inherent humor in it, but then again shouldn’t we be a bit concerned that Portlandia has created an environment where sincere-if overbearing-feminism is treated as a joke? I know, there are folks who take it too far, but at the same time as another poster mentioned, good humor punches up, and I…

OMG Mater finally snapped!
