I don’t understand people who schedule every minute of their lives. But she’s made millions off of it so I guess it works for a lot of people.

For the uninitiated, Nobu is a chain restaurant made famous by the Kardashians, athletes, and actresses who have all rolled up to its Malibu location. Sure, the food earned it critical acclaim on its own merit, but its entrance into the lexicon of modern wealth was cemented by the celebrities who treat it like a

Bot how else celebs will stay relevant?? 

Clearly the last film should be titled Mamma Mia: Waterloo and should involve all the characters being killed off

Happy weekend everyone, I hope you are all safe and well and taking care.

1982. I am 13. I am playing fast pitch softball, 3rd base. My dad has coached me in previous years, but this year I am on a team where my dad’s good friend was the coach, so all is well. I remember this like yesterday.

When I was 12, I was diagnosed with depression. It came as the result of years of bullying by fellow classmates, and my inability to process their cruelty correctly. After weeks with a child psychologist, I was sent to a psychiatrist to begin my medical treatment. Let me preface this by saying that I was an innocent,

Can institutions like incredibly expensive private schools located in some of the wealthiest neighborhoods in NYC change? They charge $50,000 a year for elementary school. I think that they are inherently racist and classist and that they primarily serve as a way for wealthy white people to create a bubble around

Your life sounds aspirational to me! I have a job, a house and a partner but no close friends and mixed feelings about not having my own kids. Stability is under-rated but also out of reach for so many people.

This sounds like a $650 nightmare. And what a load of crap. Just stay home and make a vision board.

It all feels insipid in a way that’s hard to describe. Fangless empowerment, not so much about smashing the glass ceilings/walls as writing buzzy messages on them while one looks for a way to squeak through (preferably with a $30 set of slogan-bearing markers the motivator commissioned in service to funding their

This reads the plot of the SATC episode where Charlotte goes to a self help seminar. But for the lean-in era. It’s ironic that these women are crumbling under the pressure of doing it all yet gravitate to messages that insist they must do it all. 

Not mention her cozying up with scammy MLM companies.

Damn. Climbing is so rewarding and is such an accessible sport for young people; and it has a community like no other sport I’ve been involved in. Climbers love other climbers. They help each other, give them route info, belay for them, cheer them on...  This isn’t even a case of “dying doing what she loved.” This is

They are, they really are. My way of having my cake and eating it too was to check out their cookbooks like 5 or 6 times over the past three years, because I didn’t want to go to their site because of ad revenue. I liked flipping through the cookbooks and sighing contentedly, imagining making some of their recipes.

I can’t get over how...... not that old Ruby Bridges is. This just happened. 

I’m so sorry. We don’t deserve dogs. They are distilled love and pure joy.
