Had one at 32 (had all of my work sent home via messenger during my unpaid mat leave), had the other one at 36. It didn’t slow me down because I didn’t really ever stop working.

That’s the problem isn’t in? Disney thought “Let’s make a Han Solo film, everyone love Han Solo” except that’s not accurate. No one give a fuck for Han Solo, everyone loved Harrison Ford. So any Solo movie is going to be a problem if it’s not Harrison Ford. I’d rather watch 75yo Harrison Ford do a Han Solo movie…

Well I had a baby ten minutes before Monday was over. The placenta decided to rip itself away from my uterus in some sort of attempt to kill us both. That was the least fun I’ve ever had, but fortunately my intuition brought me to the hospital an hour earlier.

There also seems to be a school of thought among anti-regulation types that the government just comes up with regs for the hell of it - to ruin people’s fun or to destroy business or jobs or whatever. It doesn’t occur to them that maybe - just maybe - these regulations were put in place because something had gone…

I’m curious if anyone is following up on these mass raids.

Def a single macaroni from the last, sad, untouched salad on the table at a Lutheran picnic.

Oh, fer Godsakes, KAREN FUCKING ALLEN!!!!!

538 had a little trade-war game on their site and it was great....

Anyone reading all of the Tweeted words eligible for today’s Code 45* will have noticed that they had a decidedly larcenous bent to them: “stolen”, “crime”, and “laws” were among them.

Peonies are magical. I had a bush appear in my garden a few years ago, I did not plant it. A friend had the same thing happen. I LOVE peonies, they are so beautiful and smell so good, the ants are a pain, but they’re easy to get rid of on cuttings.

I’m filing this under things I need to do with my rubber ducky collection. It’ll make cleaning them so much easier.

Yeah, this was the doctor that gave [current occupant of the White House] the “6'3", 235 lbs.” report, being rewarded for his “loyalty” [read: willingness to lie for the boss].

Eschewing said coat in favor of say, a denim jacket that is not warm enough for whatever is happening outside your front door is an optimistic move that will only end in heartbreak.

Don’t be depressed. Just do exactly what you and your spouse want to do on that day. You can even change your minds right in the middle of things. The important point is for the two of you to listen to each other. It’s good practice for nearly every other decision you will make. Talk about it, decide, then act. The…

I actually just had a destination wedding (close destination -2 hr flight - but destination nonetheless) for this exact reason. I had 50 people at my wedding, including my now husband and myself. Honestly, thought there would be less, and wouldn’t have done it any differently. I don’t need to see my second-cousin…

Both of us are very girly and really want any excuse to wear pretty dresses. But that’s pretty much the extent of weddingness we care about.

When I got married, we banned gifts altogether because we had people from out of town coming. We got presents anyway, and that’s fine, but I refused to burden the out of town guests with spending more money.

People can be really smart about some stuff and clueless about one tiny insignificant thing. Take this example: I have a round wooden cutting board that has a small round indentation in it, presumably for momentarily storing bits of whatever you’re chopping. I use this board when I’m cutting pizza so that I don’t…

“...or like a stick you use to stuff tampons up there!”

“I just wanted to have that dialogue about families torn apart by the election and their political differences of opinion and how we handle it.”
