I feel you. I also live amongst a lot of anti-vaxxers, and was so scared that my little guy would pick up something before he was too young to be vaccinated. I became that mom who used a Chlorox wipe on the baby swing before I’d let my baby near it. Sure I looked like a overanxious hover-mother, but I figured keeping m…

I once had a co-worker (who had no kids and zero post-secondary education) that doctors “don’t really learn anything in medical school, they just memorize what is in their textbooks.” Like... what?

Imagine going back in time 100 years ago and telling parents that people in our time had a safe and effective way of preventing the diseases that were wiping out kids in the early 20th century. Now imagine telling those same parents that some people didn’t take the preventative measure because a Playboy bunny told them…

Really? My mind is officially blown.

My sister would always cry when the wicked witch melted, which I found hysterical.

Will you feel shitty every time you see the bedding, or will the sight of it give future you a feeling of victorious badasserry? If it’s the former, put them back. Don’t do something that will make you feel shitty.

Holla from a 44 year-old student! You made it!

I’m not sure about that. I suspect that my kitty would murder me just to get some more space in bed were it not for the fact that she relies on me to supply food, fuzzy mice, and catnip.

God no, that poster is pure nightmare fuel.

I think this story takes place in the little city where I was born. The weather there is truly awful.

I use Cheetolini. 

Sorry.

The theme music still scares me.

That is am extremely reasonable fear. That banshee was terrifying.

In the 70's my sister hung some Kiss posters in the basement. 5-year-old me was absolutely convinced that Gene Simmons had the ability to come out of the poster to terrorize little girls - he was the demon, after all- but could only do so if the lights were off.

It’s proof that Riri is so sexy that even a tinfoil hat would look good on her.

This reminds me of the time a relative who’d miscarried almost died because the Catholic hospital wouldn’t perform a d & c (but they did check on her regularly to see if she’d died, so there’s that). It’s a wonder she survived. Tell me how that situation, or the one in the article, is pro-life and not designed to punis…

Not just forced adoptions (although those were devestating to indigenous families). For a few decades, the law in Canada made it so indigenous status could only be passed along patriarchially. Women lost their status and would be kicked off reserves if they married non-status men. Not only did this reduce the number of…

Harnesses are great! They allow toddlers to explore their world while remaining safe. Holding hands doesn’t cut it because they need their hands to explore (and you try walking with one arm raised above your head, it’s uncomfortable).

If you’re both grown ups, it shouldn’t be a competition. People have pasts, and those paths include other people. One can care about an ex without being hung up on them.
