This judge is a fucking joke. Who the hell releases some little asshole rapist, who was jailed because he violated the terms of his sentence, because he was bored at times?

JULIANNE, JEZ-LADIES AND GENTS, PLEASE - there is such a diverse and wonderful readership on this blog, so many different ages, genders, etc...

People would ask us if the baby we were adopting was going to be a girl or a boy and I would always just say “Yes, probably”. Honestly, we didn’t know and we couldn’t figure out why it even mattered. Apparently, it is very important to be able to buy stuff? That the baby will never notice or care about anyway.

For real, right? Keep rubbing it in, my perky-titted sisters who didn’t breastfeed two babies for an aggregate 4 years...

In my old neighborhood I would order from the same burger place at least weekly (they had a lamb burger with feta that was TO DIE) and after a while I noticed they stopped putting new menus in my bag—I tweeted that they must have noticed I order from them a lot. They replied. They noticed.

It really is. I don’t understand how that’s an acceptable assumption to make. Do none of these people order pizza on a weekly basis? They also said he’d order sandwiches and pasta, are these not foods that lots of people eat and yet we don’t assume when they have health problems that it must be because they regularly…

We knew we were ordering from our local Chinese delivery place too much when they showed up to our new apartment and they a) remarked that we had moved and b) said that our cat had gotten fatter.

I love this story! I was saved by my consierge checking on me and calling 911 a few years back. I used to walk by her to use the gym every morning at the same time. On the 3rd day that I didn’t show she came looking for me. I had a bad reaction to new medication and was completely out of it. I had a very serious…

And yet eating all that Dominoes over the years turned out to be the thing that saved his life? Life really is crazy sometimes...

I love that hair color and Christina looks the best she has in years. I feel like it’s a stretch to call it pierced but I imagine the word festooned is way too dated.

I met my now spouse on OKC. I was on the site off and on for at least four years. Keeping expectations low helps.

I promise I do care about everything you wrote, but a chunk of my brain saw “blah blah blah POTBELLIED PIG blah blah blah”. WHAT.

Me this morning: Who are these people? I don’t care.

I think the thing about parenting is that the hard part isn’t the kids. I mean, yeah, kids are hard but not, like, miserably hard.

Hahahaha my toddler is going through a biting phase and yet also really wants to give cheek kisses. It's nerve-wracking, to say the least! And yet I totally understood what you said about the heart explosions. You get these beautiful little moments of pure, unadulterated toddler love and there's just nothing else like…

I once read a book whose title aptly described parenthood to me - “All Joy and No Fun.” Here’s the thing about parenting. It’s great, but it is also the hardest and some days worst thing I have ever done. I love my son more than anything. He is so smart and hilarious and he brings me joy every day. And I knew that my…

Agreed that people have kids because they want them, but it’s something that benefits society. The same thing happens with the economy. People don’t buy a new sofa or pair of shoes because it’s good for the economy - they buy them because they want them. Doesn’t mean that consumer spending doesn’t drive the economy.

The decision to remain childfree is completely valid. But please remember that raising children is not just a personal life choice. It’s the way societies replenish themselves and continue to function. Parents make tremendous personal, professional and financial sacrifices to do this vital job for society; it’s not…

I dunno, I *get* the outrage. This whole “meternity” thing shows that most people think maternity leave is a perk or a vacation and not a necessary time to heal after EXPELLING A HUMAN BEING FROM YOUR BODY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER! I mean, the fact that maternity leave still isn’t mandatorily(ok i made that word up) paid…
