I have two kids and I’ve had to sit through Kobe’s last game for the past two hours so I’ve had a couple of glasses of wine. The two aren’t connected but #1 gives me a right to have an opinion on this and #2 explains my attitude.

Holy shit, I never looked at it that way!

So right on. I feel like on some level when black and brown people are lumped in with these imaginary green/purple/orange/blue people, they’re implying that black and brown people also dont exist.

What kind of CGI mess is this? Like, that is not his face.

I watched this with my three year old over the weekend. She sat through the whole thing, which is a rarity for a non-animated movie. I loved Pee-Wee as a kid and it made me smile that we have a shared interest. I might have even showed her how to dance to Tequila!...

Yes, very. I guess I’ve just never given much thought to the distinction between life and personhood.

That is a ridiculously good analogy.

So, I am pro-choice, like, 1000% pro-choice. I myself have had a couple of abortions and am also the mother of two beautiful little girls who are currently arguing because the little one is looking at the big one. How.dare.she.

“I’m so brave!” Why didn’t anyone laugh at that? She’s fucking hilarious, I want to hang out with her and be sarcastic together.

Was about to say the same thing. Up until things got dangerous, my parents, who were in a fixed income, always went to the dentist in Mexico. It was ridiculously cheaper and the care was just as good as in the States.

Yeah if that’s a tantrum, OK would hide from my 3 yo. She just bawled for 20 minutes straight because the leggings she wanted to wear were still wet in the dryer. “I did laundry kiddo” “WHY YOU WASH MY LEGGINGS?! THEY NOT DIRTY MOMMY! THEEEEEY NOOOOT DIRTYYYYY!"

You bring up a huge point! Yes, we need to empower our daughters but we also need to teach our sons to respect women, to see them as their equal, and to make them understand women aren’t there for their entertainment. I think many parents kind of just think their sons will get that but no, kids need to hear these…

What parent would fight you on this?! And what parent doesn’t understand how serious a reaction to a nut allergy can be?! Neither of my girls have allergies and yeah when I’m running late in putting together lunches, I really wish I could make them a PB&J but my very small inconvenience is nothing compared to what…

I’m looking :) The oldest is in pre-school so we’re just now starting play dates. We actually have one next week. There are other kids in the class she really wants to play with but I overhear the mothers during dropoff and pickup and am dreading the times I’ll have to interact for more than a couple of minutes.

I’m not going to lie, it isn’t easy, but on the flip side of that, you know you’re (hopefully) creating a fair and open minded individual. The world needs more of them and if I can do that, then that’s pretty cool.

This is something I grapple with all the time. I want it be known I’m not okay with this shit but I don’t want my feelings to end up alienating my daughters because their friend’s parents don’t want to deal with me. My girls are almost four and two so I know it’s coming. The only thing I can think of to solve it is to…

I really like him as Javi in Telenovela, which, by the way, if you aren’t watching, you need to! I didn’t know his name was Jencarlos. Like, is that supposed to be Jean Carlo, or Giancarlo, or, que? No entiendo.

I was about to say the same thing. She’s like a lot of conservative women in that they support this party because many have never been poor (btw, i said “many” not “all”. I’m well aware not all conservatives are well off) and have never been marginalized so none of tha matters to them. And her transition was/has not…

So do you have a large container of it or do you mix it for every load? I’ve thought about making my own but then I get unmotivated by the amount of effort I’d have to put into it. I’m ridiculously lazy.

I’ve only heard Zendaya speak once and that’s when she was on Kimmel a few weeks back. I’ve read some things about her and it’s always about how bright and eloquent she is but in the interview, every fourth word was followed by “You know what I’m saying?” And it’s, like, no, I don’t. Elaborate. You’re supposed to be…
