Listening to the podcast Slow Burn about the Clinton scandal really brought home to me how far we’ve come since the 90's. I remember when it happened — I was in high school when it all unfolded, and didn’t really care one way or the other, but I remember the adult women around me making harsh comments about Lewinsky,…

A few friends and I had just finished having brunch on the upper west side after staying out way too late the night before doing terrible things to our brains at a jam band concert. We were delirious, had to wear our sunglasses throughout brunch, and probably looked/smelled like our true dirty hippie selves. Anyway,…

Associating free birthers with established, safe home birthing is wrong-headed and misinformed. And I am glad your attitudes don’t prevail where I live.

If a woman had behaved the way Belligerent Brett behaved yesterday she would be finished. That’s why like Dr. Ford, we’re all trained to be “nice ladies” who have to accommodate, demure and smile through all the horse shit thrown at us. 

Wide shot. Every. Single. Woman.

Y’all remember that scene in Death Proof when the second group of girls fight back, and Kurt Russell starts crying like the giant man baby he is?  That’s what I’m seeing right now.

He deliberately doesn’t know anything, it’s his dark power.

Yeah that really pissed me off too.

‘Call me cynical, but I think we’d all benefit from hearing what exactly Braun means by “I made every effort you can imagine”—the guy certainly has fiscal concerns that might not overlap with instructing Bieber to take a break from working and get help ASAP, but I digress.’

This concerns me.

Women are not rehab clinics. I tell people this over and over. I had to tell myself this.

And not only that for josh - he legit thinks she’s a great, smart, strong woman. He danced with tai because he was a fucking good person. Josh is at LEAST a 9/10. I might be slightly biased though. 

Just his smile is enough for a 10/10.

Right!? Hot, funny, sexy accent. PLUS secretly sensitive (caring for his grandfather before he died) AND did a lot of emotional growth (recognizing arrangement was wrong.) Patrick Verona deserves way more than 6/10. 

You have done a great disservice to Heath Ledger/Patrick Verona here, and I will not stand for it!

A few days after the news broke that the trump administration was separating and imprisoning children, my 4 year old daughter caught a 24 hour stomach bug. She was up puking every hour or so all night and I slept next to her, making sure she puked in the bowl, wiping her chin, rubbing her back, giving her sips of…

You said it. People need to step off with the knee-jerk “co-dependent” and “enabler” talk when someone tries to help an addict. There is no bright line that allows anyone outside the situation to make that call.

fucking THANK YOU. It’s not a character flaw to want the people you love to stay alive, while taking care of your own health and keeping the distance you need to stay well. 

Celebrate women for having it together and being strong enough help others without labeling them as “co-dependent.”

Denise was a goddamn saint. She took the next wives KIDS when she went into her tail spin to give them a stable environment.
