You have two children. One goes to school and needs to get the bus, but is too young to go alone. Your partner has already left for work. What do you propose doing with the second, younger child?

Think about your hot takes for one goddamn second and realize how stupid you sound. 

Maybe the airlines should seat families together. 

You’re in an airport, there is literally no where to go. What are you going to do, go back out through security and out to the curb?

And why is testosterone the One True Marker for unfairness, rather than say, Michael Phelps with his genetic mutation that prevents him producing normal amounts of lactic acid so he doesn’t experience muscle fatigue. Plus what about the myriad athletes with Marfan’s? Why are some genetic mutations unfair and others

I am sad to read this; I admired Nancy Hogshead-Makar, especially for her honesty about surviving sexual assault. But this is so not okay, I can’t see okay from where she stands. 

My pediatrician prescribed a bottle of novocaine ear drops, for the inevitable “wake up screaming at 2 am with an ear infection” incident. He said it was something we’d be glad we had on hand and we were! More than once!

Alexander is one of George’s names. 

Oooh, not David. Or John. 

Generally, the Queen follows the parents’ wishes. The Earl and Countess of Wessex, and Princess Anne and Mark Phillips decided against titles for their children; Prince Andrew and the Duchess of York wanted titles for their children. Only Charles’ sons automatically got titles because they were the children of the

I don’t necessarily think a horse is more deserving of not being meat than a cow is. But humans have a working relationship with horses that we do not with other livestock, and I think it’s wrong to take an animal that has been raised and trained to work cooperatively with humans and then send it to slaughter. (And a h

This just makes me sad. 

Having dealt with a rape detective, I call bullshit. They clearly cared nothing about me or bringing my rapist to trial. 

This whole rumor suffers from crap sourcing and Nicole Cliffe, one of the leading proponents, pulled her “facts” out of her ass. I think it’s possible that William cheated, because everyone is human, but I think the evidence for this assertion is lacking. 

It’s not a choice, I can do this or be really sick. I’d love to have a bacon cheeseburger for lunch instead of a salad and yogurt, but I’d hate the consequences. 

They’re not girls, they’re women. If you can’t get that distinction, then, what the fuck even. 

Heather and Jessica aren’t girls. They’re women. But sure, go on about their misogynist attitudes.

For me, coffee fills the “pleasantly bitter” niche formerly occupied by beer. 

I eat healthily and moderately, I don’t drink, I’ve never smoked, and I don’t eat sweets. I get a lot of pleasure from a good cup of coffee and since it’s my one remaining food based pleasure, I would truly miss it if I had to give it up permanently. 

I have given up alcohol for several years now, and after a while, it’s nbd. Coffee would be much harder to give up.

I’m glad Britney is getting help if that’s what she needs. I also think her dad making money hand over fist off her labor is bullshit. Is a Vegas residency what is best for her, or is it is what’s profitable for her father/conservator? Let her go home to Louisiana and teach dance to little kids or whatever will make
