I’ll wait 7 or 8 years before his book “Doing Nothing: How I Learned the Priceless Art of Relaxation After I Had to Spend 2 Years in Bed Due to a Mysterious Chronic Illness.”

I freaked my crazy food trend obsessed cousin by telling her that there was Dihydrogen Oxide in the water she was using to liquefy the kale she was going make into babyfood. And that it was also in the kale as well. I told her that no amount of organic farming or veganism was ever going to take out all the…

I am honestly so fucking sick of everyone acting like Autism is the ultimate evil. It is a (usually) fairly mild neurodevelopmental disorder. I realize that it isnt always easy, but that doesnt mean that people within the autism spectrem arent still people and are plenty able to go living happy, functional lives. It…

Does Autism "develop"? No, it doesn't.

Bless you for this post Gaysian. I have worked with children with autism for 15 years and I can tell you with utter sincerity that some of the finest human beings with the most pure souls that I have ever met are those kids. We judge their happiness on what we think makes us, or should make us happy, instead of…

Phrasing!

She will probably write a book/start painting/do a photography exhibit or something, cause Brooklyn has inspired her.

Shes like all the other people who move to Brooklyn, sight unseen.

"I have an educational blog" has to be a close second to "I sell monogrammed thermoses," right?

Yes. Down with beards. You don't like them, therefore men shouldn't have them. No irony about a statement like that appearing on a site like this at all. Feminism tends to be very forgiving of entire genders being told what they should and shouldn't be doing with their own appearance, and it's obviously very important…

Six years ago my then 3 year old son saw the Santa version of the snowman pan in the catalog and asked me to get it. I did because I was 7 months pregnant and felt guilty about this being his last Christmas without a sibling. WORST DECISION. First, the fancy ass decorations in the catalog were done with fruit…

I recently lost a family member to cancer, and in the months before his death, well meaning hippie type friends repeatedly told him that essential oils and detox could "cure his cancer". Worse, one egregious idiot suggested that "not detoxing enough" was possibly why he got cancer in the first place. She then offered…

if you swear off Jack Daniels and spend two weeks eating celery and cucumbers instead of donuts, you'll probably feel better

Mason was the kid who pooped his pants regularly in my 4th grade class. We had to play a math game that involved switching seats, and it was like a curse to have to sit in Mason's chair. So to me, Mason is the name of a pants-pooper forevermore.

I think we have evidence of that already. It was done from about 800BC through 400AD and gave us what we call the Bible.

The teddybear thing made every sphincter I have clench up in revulsion. Jesus WEPT.

I just want to restate here what I've been saying on FB (my feed's blowing up, being a good feminist lady aged 20-45 in Canada):

While that may be partially true, I for one am tired of alcoholism being romanticised for the "artistically tortured". Or, maybe I am just tired of seeing various people throughout my life slowly kill themselves while the people around them either act like they are the "life of the party" or "tortured" and so deep.

I would indeed consider it hilarious if someone suggested that I breast feed through my armpit. I would likely piss myself laughing. What else can you do?

Yes, I'm suspicious of how significant that benefit of breast feeding actually is. In addition to the correlation with income, just the fact that doctors are saying "X is good for babies, you should do X" means that parents who CARE enough to change their behavior, to do something that can be kind of inconvenient, are…
