THIS. It’s totally horrifying to think that she thinks being compared to nazis is hilarious and has absolutely no plans of examining WHY this is happening.

I’ve been on stage to deliver remarks in front of a few thousand people (okay, never televised to millions, but the normal human version of wow, this is a lot of people I decided to speak in front of!), and I’ve never accidentally mimicked a nazi salute. And my job isn’t to routinely broadcast my views to millions of…

I recently flew when I was just about five months pregnant — it’s my second and I’m HUGE. My abdominal muscles have separated (gross) so I have to wear a pelvic support girdle or it’s incredibly painful to even just stand up.

I usually do that, but lbr, I’ve also just chucked it in there with a chip clip to close it and I’ve not noticed any freezer burn. They say it can pick up the odors of your fridge, which is really why I usually use a container, but sometimes I like to live on the edge.

Keep your flour in the freezer and you’ll never have to worry about weevils ever again!

I had the exact same thought!

For everyone blaming the parents for not anchoring them to the wall, from the linked article above:

YEEESSS! Dude, you haven’t thrown a wedding yet? You’re gonna fucking nail it.

This post is super quality and I like your style! <3

I like your take on this. You’re right that what has been commodified as “wedding” is a bummer and it’s all too easy to get sucked into the seemingly inescapable machine has been built around pressuring women to have a “dream day”.

But by conflating things like DIY and a $60 piece of ribbon from BHLDN, didn’t she suggest that any kind of wedding you could possibly have is too much? Like, based on this article, I can’t think of what would be an acceptable wedding.

YES! We’re definitely doing that, explaining that Mom and Dad take baths and showers, too, every day, because we need to be clean to be healthy.

This dilemma is EXACTLY what we’re going through! I’m trying so hard to give my two and a half year old some autonomy over her body, and to give her choices in general when we can (what to wear, whether or not she has to eat spinach today, little stuff like that). But then we get to, like, you MUST wear a coat it’s…

What a bummer. I came here sort of expecting a dialogue in the comments from other middle-class working moms who DID feel overwhelmed but instead there seems to be an abundance of people who have it all figured out and can’t understand why the rest of us haven’t.

I’m in the midst of stockpiling my family’s earthquake preparedness kit so this link was super helpful, thank you!

One of my favorite food items ever are the pre-packaged hard-boiled eggs you can buy at Duane Reade. It’s literally just two, peeled hard-boiled eggs in a see-through plastic pack. It says EGGS on the front, and on the back it says:

omigosh I want to know all about this! Not a joke! How did you get into it? I’ve thought about this, but I’m worried about a. being too dumb/not focused enough to teach my daughter and b. her not being socialized. But I guess we would just continue the activities we do now (she’s almost 2, and we go to gym class, art…

Another lesson we all should have taken to heart from Zoolander.

She’s wonderful in the HBO show Togetherness, that premiered last year.

I guess I should say, too, I’ve had a long history of anxiety and depression. I was on anti-anxiety and anti-depressants for a long time (was off for a few years at the time of the time-travelling pot brownie incident).
