Might I recommend this excellent and informative website for up-to-date information?

NO SHAME IN MY GAME: I am running a live feed webcam from Reuters and The Sun, I have Twitter going with a bunch of royal reporter accounts followed, and I'm on Tumblr flailing along with the royal fangirls.

The Baba Yaga is called "The Editor" as long as you make sure you use at least one red pen to hold part of your hair back. (I have two I'm using to hold my hair up in a bun. The heat index has us at 102ºF/39ºC, and it's supposed to get worse.)

He is a right sexy man, you know.

I only use organic sustainable fair trade weapons. You probably haven't heard of them because they are so underground.

I'm kind of enjoying the karma of her making an entire nation that once nicknamed her "Waity Katy" wait and wait for this baby to come.

Seconded! I would love to see more well-written, intelligent Hunger Games fanfic, especially from others' POVs. (And especially some that is actually set in the show's universe, given that 90% of the stuff on AO3 and ff.net is cheesy AU junk. I want to read about the book and its characters, dammit, not Katniss and…

What gets me about this is the total unwillingness to acknowledge that an innocent teenage boy is dead because George Zimmerman was a complete fuck up of a human being.

MARYLAND, REPRESENT!!!

Oh god, can we just not? Please? Because this only ever ends one way. The people with kids will turn into instant sanctimommies, all like "If you aren't a parent you will never understannnnddddddd!!!!!" and the people without kids will be all like "Why can't I apply for maternity leave when I get a new kitten, cats…

I have heard plenty about abortion. Graphic (and inaccurate, apparently) enough to give me recurring nightmares from third through fifth grade. I have heard plenty about the evils of birth control and the ACA. In my 27 years (and 25 of them were attending church faithfully with 10 straight years of Catholic school), I…

I think it's more an issue of priorities. There are already a ton of existing special needs children out there who need adoptive homes, yet apparently both the church and these potential adoptive parents apparently only respond when a fetus is threatened.

Heavy flower here. Doubling up with tampons and pads are all that saves me from having to go buy new underwear every day of my period. I'll keep them, thank you very much.

Ha. His advisors are all staring down the bottom of a bottle going, "We shoulda let him have Lieberman."

Her incoherent, run-on sentences make me cringe so hard.

Daycare! Dear god. One of my coworkers told me her moderate middle-class income is basically 100% to pay for child care. The only "profit" they have is from her husband's salary.

I think there's a lot of disconnect in how people understand this situation based on geography. I know a family with 8 kids (EIGHT! Homeschooled!) and they get by just fine on one middling income. But they live in Oklahoma City, in a house they bought in the mid-90s on a HUD repo deal. All of their family and social…

so so very true. my husband and i work full time at jobs that pay neither terribly nor wonderfully, and we have a one year old son. we'd like to have another, but the only thing keeping us from repeat reproduction is the thought of even greater financial ruin. the one kid we do have is breaking us; how does anyone…

Not wanting to have kids does NOT make you a horrible person; it makes you a person who knows her own mind and isn't afraid to live her life the way she wants to.

How do you raise a kid in this economy? Say goodbye to having new and nice things. I'll be driving the same car for a few more years. We do most of our clothes shopping at secondhand stores. We'll going to stay in our small house instead of buying something bigger. I don't care, it's still worth it to me. I…
