Legislating sexuality is weird as fuck and kind of squicks me out, but I guess the alternative squicks me out more... In a perfect world we’d all be healthy and not have hang ups about sex and wouldn’t need laws governing sexual behavior. :(

The problem is that there’s no way of quantifying or judging which teenagers are sexually, mentally and emotionally mature and which aren’t. Do you remove all the theoretical protection and just let teens and older adults bang whoever they want without any potential consequences?

Oh god I feel this so hard. The best part is people telling you that you only *think* you suck at math because girls are conditioned to think that.

When I was 14 I dated a 19 year old. It was a bad, manipulative, exploitive relationship, which is why age of consent laws are a thing. :\

That’s the good ole prison industrial complex for you. Lock up the poor people for life and don’t do shit about the distribution.

Nope! My name is super solid.

As far as I know they kill cell reception during the event to keep the towers in Nowhere, Nevada from overloading (that’s the technical term for it) how is she posting all this stuff... Satellite phone? Mobile WiFi hot spot?

Not letting your kids watch the Kardashian show sounds like a super solid parenting decision to me.

Personally I loathed the yoga pants trend... Until I got pregnant and had a kid, and the idea of trying to squeeze my pregnant belly and expanding ass into the jeans I’d worn previously seemed cruel and pointless, as did buying a whole new set of pants just to wear while pregnant/post partum.

OK, missing the point here, I know, but how did she get that thing to sit on the back of her head like that?? 10,000 bobby pins? Sewing it into her hair? A cleverly hidden headband? Lizard person magic?

God damn, I really should have capitalized on this trend ten years ago with my brilliant ‘ pick discarded hobo clothes up off the street and sell them in an upscale boutique’ idea.

Yup, I thought I was doomed to horrible pregnancies, but so far, this one has been awesome. I have all of those happy earth mother life giving glowy feelings that I thought were a total myth the first time around. First pregnancy me would want to murder second pregnancy me, lol.

I’m four months pregnant with my second and this pregnancy is a cake walk compared to the first, which is such a life saver. I don’t think I could handle depression/tired all the time/mood swings/constant morning sickness while taking care of a 1.5 year old.

I just finished uhm... quilting? My Ergobaby carrier. We got it used, and use it literally every day and it’s starting to deteriorate pretty hard, so every so often I have to make fabric patches for the worn spots and sew it back together. Kind of a crafting chore.

I’m sorry that’s a sucky situation to be in. :(

Stress leads to crappier parenting, unless you’re Buddha. Is it possible for changes to be made in your lives (even temporarily) to reduce her stress levels?

I want to know why this is never (in my experience) a problem in traditional public restrooms?

Ironically, loofahs harbor way more nasty bacteria than a washcloth, that can be put in the laundry and washed after every use, should you so desire.

Came here to say this. Dr. Bronner’s all the way.
