I personally would love to see them try to put headphones on cats.

I was a junior in HS when Columbine happened and I happened to be home sick, so I watched the whole thing unfold on live tv in my parents bedroom. Kids my own age. It was unbelievable. Now my seven year old does active shooter drills at school. A whole generation! It makes me fucking furious.

The shocking part of being a parent is how early that shit starts. I knew I had absorbed years and years of bad messaging about my body, since a teen at least, but you become a parent of a girl and realize it’s been literally your WHOLE LIFE.

Came here to say a similar thing (my daughter is 7)! My daughter loves the Lego Friends options (and has Women of NASA). Lego Friends are all girls and the motif is very pink and purple, there is room for improvement for sure, I’d love to see boys in the Lego Friends group and girls as truck drivers. But compared to…

Girls and women had to step up and they did and do over and over again, not new to the pandemic. Imagine if we allowed (encouraged even!) these multi-tasking, responsible, care-taking, cooking, organizing, leading young girls and women to run the damn world too. It’s messed up.

I read that she said she doesn’t trust herself as much as she used to and that really hit home. The events of the last 18 months has completely undermined my trust in myself and other people in ways I don’t totally understand but it is a mindfuck. And I’m not flying through the air and landing exceptionally difficult…

I had a whole ass miscarriage at work and was only a few minutes late to my next meeting so I’m probably not the right person to ask. But yeah, I’ve laid in a dark bathroom on a cold floor, taken copious ibuprofen, and even thrown up at work on period days and never seriously considered calling out because of my…

i love all the stepping on their own dicks the Catholic church and particularly US Bishops are doing right now. I think they are drastically misreading the younger generations and sticking to what has always worked before. That it sounds culturally dissonant and out of touch recently gives me some (small, measured)…

The “Jess and I send our love” part felt gross, too. It’s the kind of statement that would seem sincere and heartfelt coming from almost anyone else on earth, but “me and wife that you don’t know send our love to you, the struggling ex whose reputation I helped trash” doesn’t land the same.

these looked FAKE AS HELL when I first saw them so I’m glad to see my detective skills are still on point. (I thought it was just that I was old and didn’t have the latest social media or something).

This show is truly the *worst* of the franchise and I won’t lose sleep over any of them getting fired. Braunwyn was a hot mess and probably a fame whore. BUT, she brought different issues to the table and, I thought, was overall brave sharing her story, especially around alcohol use disorder. When she explained that…

A year ago I would’ve had hope that this could bring some humanity among the Senators and promote “team building” as other commenters have said, but frankly I just don’t believe in that anymore, especially in politics. It’s depressing, but that’s what the last year+ has done. On balance, people are way, way, WAY more…

There was a pair of J Crew platform flip flops that EVERYONE had to have circa the summer of 2000. I bought two pairs but could never get comfortable to go very far in them. Have not thought about those in almost 20 years until this article. I have no idea if they were hot everywhere or just the Seattle burbs, but I…

Beautiful essay Joan! I love the mindset of body as a vehicle not a destination. All my best to you and I hope we see some of your summer fits <3

The bonus of this approach is that widespread, affordable access supports the actual live child and post-partum mother. Giving birth doesn’t get rid of mental health and addiction, and in fact can exacerbate. Post-partum anxiety with my first kid was a real fucking mental health shitstorm. 

she is capital M Messy.

Y’all keep saying this about Melinda’s publicist, but what is the payoff to air this dirt? It’s hurtful to her kids and WA is a community property state so she’s already entitled to a lot of money. Don’t get me wrong, I love the info, it just surprises me that Melinda would immediately air the laundry after announcing…

God this pissed me off so much. I hate all of them, but this hits so close to home and is so personal. I would be shaking with rage in my office if someone did that to me and could not imagine having to work in those conditions. It’s totally unacceptable and the fact that it’s apparently NOT unacceptable to people is…

just call it Met Gala: September Edition and make another documentary, please. iykyk

Huge failure as a society that we let these guys get THIS RICH. it’s obscene!
