I would not want to be asked about the Middle East all the time either. Speaking in public on that is like playing Russian roulette.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that productivity does not necessarily mean one must work longer hours.

I can French braid fishtail and regular French braid my own hair and do fancy shit like inside-out french braids and braids that start at my bangs and work their way to the back of my head. YouTube tutorials, y’all.

I hate all these celebrity paternity stories (this one, the constant rumors about Khloe Kardashian, etc.). Regardless of the DNA test, Bill Clinton is her father. That’s how parenthood works. Biological origins are useful for medical histories, and that’s about it; they are certainly of no use to the public. All of…

Nope. Not a weird vajay.

I think most women can touch their cervix?? I mean I don’t know, I guess I shouldn’t speak for ‘most women’ because I obviously don’t know that- never talked to any of my friends about their cervix...But yeah, I can reach mine too. I also know that it changes position/softness depending on where you are in your cycle.…

When I was 5 I wished on a star that I would have horses. Less than a year later my parents were divorced and 6 mos later my Monday remarried a guy who raised quarter horses. When I was 8 I wished the horses away to get my family back together after he turned into an abusive prick. His brand new prize stallion got bit…

This is so true. A lot of ppl who “don’t want kids/marriage” just don’t want them with the person they are saying it to. It’s not a lie, it’s just that they aren’t adding the “with you”...

Yup. It’s not even necessarily that they’re lying about not being ready for marriage or kids—it’s just that when you’re in a relationship that’s not quite right, you might really truly feel like kids are anywhere in the near future. And then if you’re suddenly in a different relationship, your whole perspective can…

Could you work your magic on a certain British actor who resembles an otter?

I used to use washcloths, but then I stopped, because I find it necessary to use two (one for my face and one for my body) every single time I wash myself and that’s sort of excessive. We’re in a drought in California, I don’t need to do a load of just towels every week.

Disagreement. Those first two dresses look elven/fairy-like more than coachella. I like them.

Good rule of thumb for anyone aspiring to deliver babies: be kind, a little witty, and listen to the mother-to-be. Whether you’re a midwife, or a woman doctor, or a man doctor, just make sure to do those things in addition to what methods your training prescribes.

i dont even like consensual semen so good on this lady for not murdering him right then and there

Or you can just break your leg in the middle-of-nowhere Ecuador and count on the very nice paramedics and farmers from a nearby town to strap you to a gurney and hike you out of the Andes and take you to the nearest hospital!

Uhm, you are metaphorizing slavery and in so doing you’re erasing its specificity. No, being a cog in the machine — in an era better than all previous ones in terms of human rights, physical security, and material wellbeing— is nothing like being an actual slave.
