Me too! I also try to leave the house picked up enough before bed so if we were all murdered in our sleep, the news would describe it as well-kept.

I tell my friends kids about how I eat pizza and candy almost every meal. They’re impressed. Apparently my ex-girlfriend was not.

I’m not sure my father understands that (that linearity isn’t an option anymore). My mother on the other hand, totally cops to making shit up as she went along. She is the type of mom that will say “why do moms these days make raising kids such a big deal? It’s an infant, for chrissakes. You could stick it in the top…

I mean if we aren’t getting many of the benefits of full adulthood that past generations had (raises, jobs, being able to buy a house, having a bachelor’s degree actually mean something, etc.) why should we not embrace the only fun part? Which is having fewer responsibilities and congratulating yourself when you…

39, and let me tell you, adulthood still feels like performance. I own a house and a solo business, and yet fake-it-til-you-make-it feels like my basic life strategy. The moments I feel truly competent are a relief. If I don’t give myself props for those bits of mastery, I’m going to feel helpless and incompetent…

I have mental health problems and a physical disability and I always intensively praise myself when I successfully adult because things like leaving the house and talking to strangers and doing my job take a herculean effort. I don’t want to be all ‘Woe is me, my suffering is endless’ but I know I experience…

My sister-from-another-mister suffers from endometriosis.

I was once asked what my hobbies were and my first instinct was to say, “drinking.” I don’t drink all the time but it’s something I love to do. Am I wrong for not being honest in fear of sounding lame? fml

I use this standard too. Child services would have nothing on me/yeah, it'd be okay f pictures of this house were exhibits in court.

because you can only wear a pair of pants once if you don’t have undies

As someone who is sort of 25 going on 12, I kind of read “adulting” as pointing to the dissonance between what we thought “adult” meant as kids, and what it ends up meaning once you get there....

Like in a lot of cases “adult” is a performance just like anything else. I have to attend a conference for my work this…

As the saying goes: I don’t know how to act my age, because I’ve never been this age before!

I don’t know, I feel like when people use “adulting” they’re acknowledging the fact that they’re incompetent adults and they’re doing the bare minimum. I always see it as making fun of themselves (myself included), not thinking they actually deserve a prize.

You can be a neurosurgeon, but think the pyramids were for grain-storage.

While that’s very nice defending her against the ageism, Hudson represents a lot of what is bad in the fashion/celebs industries. She is not a model, and she is on cover because of “lifestyle/ vaguely artistic image she carries”. However, everything she has is her thinness, white blondness and the fact that her…

It is not uncommon for people with limited acting ability to make a second career in fashion. Kate Bosworth, also did this although her jewelry subscription box seems to have folded.

fashion and acting do not automatically go hand in hand. if they did, we wouldn’t need those worst- and best-dressed lists.

Yes. The demand of perfection that a lot of modern progressives have is getting tiring. That used to be the domain of conservatives and more nuanced, sophisticated thought for us liberals. Not so anymore.

YAASSS!! I am finally on trend with something in my life and I didn’t even know it.

That looks painful.
