So, the idea that you'd pay to go see a hologram sing like I saw her sing in the video above sounds super weird and boring. But, I guess we've been heading that way for a while. People go to shows to watch people press buttons on their laptops (which I like to do) too. I thought about this because I've gone to plenty…

I am not married, not engaged, and not planning on getting engaged anytime soon. I respect everyone's right to a fancy, big wedding, and I can appreciate the decision to not screw that night due to exhaustion. But why be so exhausted in the first place? I know some family members will be disappointed there is no big…

Same! I had (still have) a whole wardrobe of Barbie clothes my grandmother and great grandmother sewed. :)

I can understand kids being more interested in tech and so not caring as much about physical dolls, but I remember having a PC program when I was very little where you could dress Barbie up and do her makeup to prepare her for a date with Ken. I played that game all the time. So does this include any sales for…

Why did you use Sheryl Sandberg's photo? For the lean in pun?

Okay, thank god I'm not the only one who eats in bed with regularity — at least enough to justify this article and all the comments. When I was still a student, I would eat in in my bedroom almost every day. That's because I would be knee deep into studying when my stomach would roar FEED ME FOOL. Not wanting to…

I meant the latter, but the former also applies! It's awesome that well known celebrities like Aziz Ansari and Louis CK are not only updating their acts to reflect public opinion, but they are using their acts to influence others for good reasons — and I do feel like that's happening more often. And, as I continue to…

Falafel Waffle is the most fun phrase to say. I didn't know that waffles could be falafel'd.

I love Aziz. His most recent special "Buried Alive" is hilarious. So hilarious, that I went and found his first special "Sensual Moments for an Intimate Evening" and was disappointed by it. (I never could find Dangerously Delicious on Netflix.) He's definitely made huge improvements in his comedy over the years.

SO HAPPY for my state! SO HAPPY my friends don't have to go to another state to get married. SO HAPPY everyone can be there to see them declare their love. SO HAPPY everyone has equal benefits regardless of their orientation. SO HAPPY no one can overturn this now.

And women will take them, because how could you pass up an opportunity like that? Women never get opportunities like that, and when we do, it isn't a coincidence it is after someone else has decided it's the best time to jump ship.

I had scheduled twice for the IUD with Planned Parenthood, and they denied me both times. The first time they said that something was strange with my insurance; it didn't apply to this clinic because of its location. If I drove three hours south (still in the same state) to another clinic (in fact, the same clinic I…

The primal chemistry that compels one to breastfeed a burden only so it will grow heavier is just one way that babies are scary.

My partner is a line cook, and his days off and the shifts he is scheduled to work are never regular. Even if he requests a day off, it is not certain he'll get it, especially because people call in sick. Taking 3 days off for a long weekend even once a month is out of the question right now.

Plus, any discussion that includes "I turned out fine so it's the right way" is like a 95 year old smoker bemoaning the fuss over cigarettes.

I love big dogs so god damn much. They are just the absolute best, best animals on the planet for hugs. Loveable and derpy. <3 And the kitties! Little one was so brave! Spastic and derpy. <3

I wish! :( When I hear about the awful things people do, I really do hate the individual sometimes.

I eat my breakfast at work, and before that, I skipped breakfast or brought it with me to class (if the class permitted). I have a little 3/4 cup plastic bowl, and another deeper bowl for fruit. when I was in K-12 (when they wouldn't let you bring food to school) I hated having to have breakfast before starting my…

Comparing this kind of abuse to the Ray Rice incident is comparing apples to oranges (they both fall into the same abusive fruit category, but they are in fact different fruits). However I think if people are going to hold the NFL to the standard of "no players with a history of domestic violence" (or any other…

True! That is a really good way to look at it. :) That didn't come to mind when writing my post, but that is a really good way of looking at a situation like that. Some people may be so conditioned to think a certain way, that a thought wriggles itself into consciousness, and they only realize after the fact that it's…
