I’m a jealous type, but I am aware that it is dumb, and work to check myself.

I think it’s also understated that this couple is also raising the baby’s older siblings. What about the studies that say a child is better off placed with their siblings?

My high school did the King and I, and it was allllll white kids. Most of whom put on a deep tan and black hair dye to play Thai roles. I imagine most HS productions of West Side Story go the same way.

I doubt he has a contingency arrangement, so much as he gets political capital from the publicity. (Not saying there’s anything wrong with that).

Parris Goebel is the choreographer, fyi — she’s pretty great.

Ugh. Part of the reason US adoptions are difficult because they have protections for the rights of children and birth parents. Short-cutting to another country with shoddy adoption laws means you don’t really give a shit about either of those groups.

“Abortion is not just a simple procedure; it may have many side effects. Abortion has been associated with preterm birth, emotion and psychological impact, and spiritual consequences.”

Man, my “I will never forgive John McCain” goes back to 2000 when he endorsed Bush after Rove’s push polls about his daughter. It’s a personal and emotional hate, but I stand by it.

Lots of women come from troubled and/or single-parent homes, and yet, women, as a general rule, don’t go on armed murder sprees. I’m sure that’s just a coincidence, though.

Real talk: I always want bangs, and my mom is always like ... “Or not! You should consider not bangs!” and I’m like “BANGS”, and then I get my hair cut, and bangs always look terrible on me.

I’m an Asian who is just fine with Affirmative action. (Yes, yes, I’m so great, I will accept all of the progressive-approval cookies). And most of the Asian people I know don’t really given a shit about it, other than a little friendly whining over lunchtime in HS.

I didn’t read this article as blaming Tina Fey, at all.

I’m pretty sure that dress is not crochet.

IF YOU DON’T DO WHAT I SAY GOD IS GOING TO CURSE WITH YOU WITH TWELVE HOURS OF DARKNESS, STARTING IN *looks in almanac* ABOUT EIGHT AND A HALF HOURS!!!!!!!!

Huh - I just saw that Mindy Kaling’s book is going out in popsugar subscription boxes - I wonder how many copies that is.

Actually, that was one of the few things that I thought read well as a joke, probably because it’s just like this stand-up bit:

Right? Like, I was trying to figure out the whole time if it was supposed to be a parody? I generally haven’t had a problem with some of the somewhat makeup-skeptical articles on millihellen, but this was just relentlessly bitter and unnecessary.

AMBERRRRR. Have you seen her and Luna’s recent magazine shoot?

I think getting married and having a baby would be great for her career - but probably not this guy.
