But... why? My brothers don’t get bombarded with the same questions, yet I, an infertile lesbian, am getting questions from people I barely have a social connection with about it. It’s fucking weird.

In my experience anything related to your baby making bits (outside of actual sexy time) are prime discussion material for anyone once you reach a certain age.

Kind of related: is it weird that I’ve had multiple people ask me if I was going to have my eggs frozen for a surrogate since I had my hysterectomy? It seems so invasive, and I never would have been able to carry a pregnancy to term when I was fertile due to my health issues. Now, being infertile but with ovaries, not…

I heard the report on NPR this morning. There were a few people saying that this kind of testing should be routine and discussion of fertility should come up at every annual doctor visit. The counterpoint was that it isn’t totally reliable. It would have been nice to have another voice pointing out that another reason…

“Was never accused of rape to our knowledge” is about as low a bar as a low bar can be set for the candidates.

I hope someone posts this announcement at the local soup kitchen/food bank. Put those overpriced cheese and meat platters to good use.

They clearly have no idea why people actually crash weddings.

No open bar? Why would I crash that wedding?

As someone who is dealing with the nightmare of invitations (ordering them, tracking responses, and trying to wheedle names and addresses out of my in-laws who keep saying stuff like, “OK the Joneses’ names are Kevin and Lisa — or is it Laura? And they have three kids, or is it four?” I mean, my god how do you NOT…

Wrap dresses are WONDERFUL in that they’re easily adjusted to your liking. Faux-wrap dresses are FUCKING BULLSHIT, and combine all the worst elements (waist at wrong level, neck too high or low, front skirt flaps that may or may not have enough fabric/overlap to prevent flashing in wind/when sitting) with the complete…

If you haven’t read it already, I highly recommend “Lies My Teacher Told Me” by James Loewen. It holds no punches when it comes to tearing apart the crap job that US history textbooks do.

I vaguely remember in kindergarten one of my social studies teachers making a spectacle in front of the class about how wrong I was about the civil war having anything to do with slavery.

Don’t pretend this isn’t what Texas Board of Ed told you to print and you won’t just say it because you are afraid they won’t keep doing business with you if you do.

“We can do better.”

Why are customers always convinced people are lying to them? They have only one cup size, they aren’ trying to trick you for the fun of it. I one time had a customer, when I worked at the convenience store, swear up and down they paid for a money order with a credit card there just recently. The damn computers didn’t…

Wine and artichokes - I could live on that quite happily

“I want a Greek Platter but I don’t do olives, I don’t do hummus, I don’t do cheese and bread hurts my stomach.”
