Fascinating stuff. Kudos to them for putting such an interesting twist on a tired genre.

I feel physically ill

That birthday post is the best!

People asked me why I cared who the president was and now he’s slapping a 20% tariff on our softwood lumber (this is my husband’s industry), telling our dairy farmers that they’re the worst, and threatening to pull out of NAFTA.

I DON’T KNOW WHY I WOULD CARE.

Solitary. Cuz I’m mean and mad.

Steps on a Lego every night when he gets up to pee.

But “ban” is in quotation marks so it could mean anything. I mean “tapped” means all types of surveillance.

Omce more with feeling: Cersei Lannister’s walk or shame.

To be fair, most of Melania’s non-Trump photos involve her grabbing her own crotch, pretending to eat a lavish meal of diamond encrusted jewelry, or doing construction work in nothing but a bikini and diamond bracelets. Which do you choose? 

“Governor LePage of Maine, who, by the way, has lost a lot of weight,” the President of the United States said. “I knew him when he was heavy and now I know him when he was thin and I like him both ways, okay?”

As someone who puts a lot of priority into healthy eating and exercising, it is devestating every time a stranger asks me if I’m pregnant. My last (last! No more!) kid was born two and a half years ago, and nothing in my midsection has bounced back. The rest of me has, which is why so many people assume I’m pregnant.…

Can I just say, I looooved the huge mesh panties they gave me at the hospital? I actually had a nurse bring me extras to take home and wore them for like 6 weeks. IT’S LIKE WEARING AIR! Mine weren’t really ‘mesh’, more like a super thin stretchy kinda gauze? Whatever they were, I would totally wear them again if they…

• The Daily Beast identified New Hampshire state representative Robert Fisher (R) as the likely individual behind Reddit’s “Red Pill” forum, a breeding ground for misogynists. Among other musings, Fisher wrote: “I’m going to say it—Rape isn’t an absolute bad, because the rapist I think probably likes it a lot.”

At Easter, my step dad actually quoted the Art of the Deal to me, and told me I should read it because it had good advice like, “always make your most outrageous demand at the beginning of the negotiation!”
