starred because now I’m singing “Trumputinpussyheimerpence” (his name is my name tooooo)

beat me to it!

by that standard, I gave up many delicious years ago

I’m doing my absolute damnedest to nourish my body and soul in the midst of global (and a bit of personal) instability. I’m 25 weeks pregnant today, and it was the absolute best thing to happen this year. We’ve wanted to start a family since getting together 10 years ago, and it’s finally happening. The midwife says…

That was a really beautiful and calming portrait of a beautiful connection. Thank you for sharing that. My mom is good friends with a few women my age and younger, and it’s really valuable for both sides. I have a close friend who’s 80, and despite having radically different backgrounds, we really meet on a soul…

I was, but her story wasn’t taught in school or covered in common parlance - my best friend is black and from Nova Scotia (I’m from the opposite coast) and schooled me about so much of the history of racial discrimination and black settlers in the Maritimes.

Yes! Viola Desmond! as a Canadian, I’m effing thrilled they chose her. thanks for posting this!

aaaaaah such cuteness! I’m due with my first in March and have just started to freak out at pictures of babies. before, I was like, of course babies are great and all, but now I’m like I LOVE YOUR CHUBBY ADORABLENESS. the wrist creases on your lil one are enchanting.

hi! I, too, am new here (made a kinja profile the day after the election after reading Jez for years and years). I have a Twitter but find it kind of mystifying, but would happily be friends there. I’m always looking for more strong, cool, inspiring, funny women to connect with, now more than ever!

shit. I’m so sorry. that really sucks. hope it gets squared away ASAP for the better and you can move on to less stressful bullshit.

I dunno, dude, have you seen Idiocracy? if only trump supporters have kids for the next while, shit’s gonna be even more grim. saying this as someone who is 6mo pregnant and has been in varying levels of despair since the election. the best we can do (if we are inclined towards children and are being swayed largely…

I will read anything you write. Thank you so much for this piece.

aaaah! that’s who the effing eff TT reminds me of! thank you

I am still intermittently cackling so hard over “heft-o” that my cat won’t come near me in case I freak her out a third time. thank god for every last irreverent fuck-you, piss-taking, eye-rolling article Jezebel has published about this ill-conceived fatuous windbag. thank you for existing. as bad as I’ve felt…

your conviction is compelling. therefore I shall release my preconceived and untested bias and attempt the sandwich for the sake of science (aka my tastebuds, which love a good experiment involving cheese)

wasn’t that just the hottest of messes?! even for xoj. which is a bubbling goo cauldron of a site. I love a good hate-read but I felt like my brain needed a shower after that piece.

On behalf of all useful and multitasking placentas everywhere, thank you. I shall now petition Jez’s design team to have “Orange Ballsack” added to the T-shirt Of Insults

Placentas are aggrieved to be demeaned so and respectfully request a retraction

I see what you did there and I tip my hat in your general direction.

FYI I would read a series about your coldness and your feelings
