Perfectly stated.
I am weary of re-packaging everything as feminist. I want feminism to be a tool that breaks shit down, not something that helps maintain the status quo.

Sephora Collection liquid liner, $12
I like a brush to apply - trust me, it’s a little trickier to figure out than the pen-style, but lasts longer and gives more control so you can make a fine or more bold line! Plus the dark brown color is my ‘everyday’ liner!

My cat is weird, too.
She also briefly embraces a squirming cat in her excitement!
I have a six-month-old and live in a one-bed apartment - I just want to say that before I wonder aloud why people think the issue is childcare being too expensive, rather than the real issue being that families SHOULD be able to subsist on one income (and single people should thus live quite comfortably). How do we…
There were at least 15 people in the room when she was born - I was there so long that there were shift changes and it was a quiet night so everyone seemed to meet me at some point. I was told that I had become a little famous for being in active labor longer than anyone that year, for screaming for longer than anyone…
I was in labor for 39 hours. 39. Active labor. I was actually in labor for 3 days, but in the delivery room for 39.
39.
39.....
Ugh.
YES. Also, large families! My family is huge and 50% blue-collar, the other 50% are teachers and nurses (seriously, I’m the first to venture into new career territory and so far it’s a disaster). So for 45 people to cram into a house for a Christmas party I don’t think we could fit a catering staff, even if we could…
Just for fun, next time you have a day to run errands, set a timer on your phone. My baby eats about every 75 minutes for 10 minutes, with a long break between 3-5pm when she naps her big stretch (some babies eat less for longer, but it all depends on how your body and your baby’s body work). The 3-5 nap only happens…
What do you want us to wait for, specifically?
Congrats on your feelings of expertise though - some people assume they shouldn’t judge til they’ve gone through or truly explored something themselves, but you went ahead and bravely decided to forge ahead! As a new mom it’s so refreshing that you have an opinion,…
My first date was to see Titanic. We held hands!
We have a 4-month-old and now own 4 carriers AND a stroller. Because I needed a sling for when she was tiny and use a mei tai now that she’s bigger, she goes in an ergo for hikes, and a moby around the house... but she cries if my husband wears her so we still need the stroller - though she cries if I try and put her…
Ugh I can’t even watch morning shows - they tease the segments for about an hour, then the actual segment lasts 3 minutes and feels rushed and awkward, like everyone is watching a timer count down. Their sort of the original ‘YOU’LL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT...’ - that is to say, lot’s of hype for underwhelming…
I went to the Titanic Museum in Belfast, Northern Ireland and OMG they have Kate’s dress from the second half of the movie on display. And I wore a fake Heart of the Ocean necklace, just to make my husband truly uncomfortable.
THANK YOU. I only recently watched Gilmore Girls because I wanted to see what all the hype was about. It was... just okay. But Emily was delightful.
This is good advice for many many people - namely people who frequently attend parties and have yet to try and stay sober at one. It’s funny how controversial the comments make this out to be!
I am breastfeeding so two drinks can get me drunk - but also I have only been for a night out once since my baby was born, and…
I think one issue is that people want the exterior of the house to have the charm of a Craftsman, but they want a big, modern, open-concept home - so they knock down as many walls as they can and destroy beautiful details. I wonder how much can be done to home exteriors? It would save people money since older homes…
That’s a bold countertop - and I would never pick it because it definitely will set the tone of the kitchen always - you can’t just go mad with a red stand mixer or printed curtains. However it’s also really stunning and one of those features that, when done right, can really give a house personality. I totally wanna…
Weeping because this is so real - and make sure you pour one out for the beautiful wood that gets painted.
