I know diddly about babies, especially newborns, but I feel like they would be super boring until they became somewhat mobile. However, it’s my understanding that most SAH parents aren’t just sitting around gazing at their baby all day long. Why didn’t this guy have other things to do? I’m sure there was laundry or…

Theres a photo of me about..3 hours or so after giving birth: My husband is lovingly holding our son. I’m in the background, looking on from the hospital bed with a box of Cheez-Its in my hand and a mouth full of Oreos.

Sad Shoggoths would be an awesome name for some kind of comedy goth/doom band.

Of all the stuff I would’ve imagined Australia wouldn’t have, waffles would not have been high on the list.

Is she an Avenger or not? Did she have that cool motorcycle scene or not? Is she featured prominently in the film or not?

Here is a recent photo of the Disney marketing department:

For the first 2/3 of this book I was waiting for the Beauty and the Beast plot to kick in, thinking it was a retelling of that, but it never came - something I am SUPER happy about. I really loved this book, and now I’m starting on the author’s (very different) Temeraire novels. I really liked her relationship with…

I started getting Glossybox about 5 months ago, after reading your columns. It is usually pretty good, and I like most of what they send. Once in a while, they send me a WTF item that is so ill suited for me, such as a neon pink OCC Lip Tar, or orange nail polish. This month, the lip liner was an 80’s pink color. They…

Again, I deeply regret that my pursuit of an activity I love and practice responsibly and legally resulted in the taking of this lion. That was never my intention.

“oh, i didn’t realize it was like, a CELEBRITY lion, i thought i was just, legally, murdering a NORMAL lion.

Yeah, I don’t think a shared fear of the sun and hate of people who made fun of us for our freckles makes a culture. A starting point for getting a good drunk on maybe, but not a culture.

Wait, we have culture?

As someone who has relatives who survived the Holocaust and have dealt with the trauma for pretty much the rest of their lives, I’d (again) ask people not to play the Nazi card as a rhetorical device.

Not with that attitude, mister.

I just powered through Naomi Novik’s Uprooted yesterday. I thought it was a lovely coming-of-age story, about a young woman who discovers she is a witch. I thought it was reminiscent of some of Robin McKinley’s work, for people who are interested in (YA) fantasy-romance.

I don’t know, seems legit. The person on my facebook feed that talks about bulletproof coffee all the time is also someone who really likes essential oils and homeopathy and also has Really Big Opinions about auras. So.

“Also, please take this complementary diabetes as a souvenir of your tour!”

When I lived in CA, I worked in a kitchen in close proximity to the public. One day, I overheard someone say to his dining companion, “You know, we’re really much more knowledgable about food here in California because we’re so diverse and love all kinds of food.
