This makes me so angry. ANY anti-choice “law” like this makes me angry, but here’s the thing— of all the millions of ultrasounds they do nowadays as routine (and I’m talking routine, not with specific cause or suspicion) the only one that actually has equal/more benefits than drawbacks (in terms of false positives,…

So this is my dilemma. Dresses are easily the most flattering thing to my shape, and I love them, and use any “excuse” to wear them. I am now a WAHM and what the heck, I could wear casual summery/insert-season dresses all the time, easy peasy, but my psychological problem is this— I feel like even “easy” dresses…

Jason Scott Lee. Chinese-German, Hawai’ian, Inuit, Filipino, Easter Islander, Indian... Super-believable. And by “super-believable,” I mean hot. But not actually believable.

Oakland *when the song was recorded* was nearly 50% black and 70% POC. Do you really think Sir Mix-A-Lot, who specifically references big butts as black in the intro, was not implying something about race and butts? It doesn’t matter whether or not he is Biologically Accurate. Come on, now.

Hot Take: Divorce papers, November 9.

I feel like this is one of these intersectional things where it is definitely *wrong*, but I still have a problem with POC being called out harder than everyone else. Like when Ike Turner died. The man was a piece of shit, but the headlines were like, “Noted Wife Beater Dies, Also Maybe He Played The Guitar Or…

“Vanity” sizing (really we’ve all gotten bigger and don’t wear as many girdles, so a size M/8 has gotten bigger).

Yes, bell hooks calls it “narcissistic rage”— basically only rage at the fact that systems of oppression are being applied to YOU.

Yeah, I’m a little uncomfortable with the idea of “what 8-12-year-old has CURVES for goodness sake!!!?!?!”

Wow, Nene, look at that body-ody-ody!

Also... are we supposed to believe that the makeup artists let her film a video with even a hint of facial hair? Over and above the fact that a recognizable celebrity would probably have that more or less on lock on a day-to-day basis?

I know this is old, Randilyn, and it’s my MIL and not my mother, so only 1/100 of what you experienced. But I had a similar experience at the card store, and it prompted me to go no-contact with my MIL of 18 years (been with husband for 21). Oh, if I choose this one, she’ll say it’s too cold. This one is too…

WTF is with all these ostensibly pro-choice commenters who are all, “BUT WHY TAKE THE UNKNOWN AND PROBABLY TINY RISK OF A SINGLE DRINK?!?!?! AND MAYBE IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL OR WHATEVER!?!”

My home birth CNMs charged a flat rate, informed up front, payment plans and everything. $3500 for prenatals in your home, tests, birth (assuming uncomplicated vaginal, which occurs for 88% of their clients— more when you’re particularly low-risk— and yes, they have amazing medical credentials and mortality/morbidity…

But the real question is, where can I get one of each of those dresses in every color?

“Moms who allow themselves to have an identity beside being “MOM” are the best.”

“I meant it in a way a day-to-day life where it’s just a non-issue until someone else brings it up.”

Um... no? I don’t forget? And not because people give us too many dirty looks. In fact, I live in a place that seems to be Interracial Couple Central (I checked the Census, and we do, indeed, have 3x the national average in terms of people IDing as more than one race).

I am so insanely happy with my new foundation. I went out for a day alone on my birthday (I have a toddler/preschooler) and had two drinks with lunch and bought this at Sephora:
