That’s where I’m at, too. I just give up. I want to crawl into bed and never get out.

And with the boy babies you are way more likely to get your face pissed on. This is just poor decision making.

<— me writing this post

Paternity leave is so damn important for changing the cultural expectation that women do the childcare. That said, it hurts my heart to see infant daughters treated as less important. Little wonder that those girls will grow up having to fight against the feeling that they are lesser. I can only hope that these things…

This has to be the most simpleminded sexism ever. What could possibly be different in the utility of caring for baby girls versus baby boys? They all need to sleep, eat and shit every 2 hours. That’s all.

I fucking give up.

This makes my stomach turn...

female lives are still considered less significant than male lives. ugh.
this is why #sayhername is important. (yes, i’m making that connection).
our lives are less valued. they should not be less valued. this makes me all kinds of sad.

You don’t even have to read the full-text article to see that this paper is more about sedentary activity vs exercise than it is about “binge-watching” or some other Cosmo headline. They probably used TV viewing because it is the most relatable sedentary activity.

Isn’t that the point?

Wait... “people who watched at least three hours of television and had very little exercise did worse on cognitive tests than those who watched less television and engaged in more physical activity”

Me am brain fine

Yeah right.

What about binge-commenting on Jezebel?

I get what she is doing (and the paragraphs are spot-on), and yet I feel ambivalent since it reinforces the false parallel of choice being akin to taking a life. Am I the only one? Am I being too picky? It is extremely clever, I know.

I was a particular fan of the Stephen Sondheim story line.
