every time you feel the urge to spend time debating what the national public narrative on body acceptance should be - jog in place for 5 minutes instead.

“Go there to buy cheap sweaters with too-long arms...”

“Respect for stay-at-home mothers has been poisoned by a toxic combination of the village elders’ war on the traditional family and radical feminism’s misogynistic crusade to make working outside the home the only marker of social value and self-respect.’’

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’m the exact opposite. I want to go back to kindergarten. I want a serious issue to be whether or not I will throw a tantrum about the veggies on the dinner table.

Okay so I know you were talking about, you know, ‘THE NORMAL’ healthy humans BUTTTTTT...

okay but i finally learned how to fold a fitted sheet and that was a proud moment

Community college jobs are not actually easy to get. Not ones that you can support an adult human on. Let alone an adult human with kids. Any community college faculty position that she could apply for will have other qualified candidates to chose from.

If either of my kids marries a hipster trans off-the-grid vegan who wants to invent a new, shared last name I would say “Mazel!” and buy them mixing bowls. If they came home with a legit Conservative...I would panic. I do not long for the days when POC did not have Civil Rights (1964 wasn’t so long ago people). I do…

Would it be too cheap and easy of a joke to suggest she’s still Clueless?

folks, i’m beginning to suspect that donald trump is not a good person.

I will feel sorry for her if and only if she understands why she is getting the backlash. She could have been an activist, a high standing member of the NAACP, and African American studies professor, as her true white self. Instead, when she was bored with being ignored as a mediocre white woman, she cultivated an…

This is a good time to remember this.

Martyr.

It may sound cool. But I keep trying to imagine using it in every day life. Like asking him to put his shoes on or ‘have you seen Saint’s backpack?” Just...it’s such a HARSH word for a name.

Procedure is evacuation and bomb squad.

I would immediately remove my child from that school if that is how its administration handles bomb threats.

Looking at the before and after pics on presidents is insane. Clinton and Bush both went basically white.

Not petty at all. As a fat feminist queer lady myself, I have zero time for people who call themselves queer feminists but can’t be bothered to be inclusive.
