I posted up-thread about this, but my parents and the neighbors would bring all the kids to someone’s yard, give a stern warning about all of us being back by sunset and then go drink until dark, at which point we all returned for burgers and hot dogs. Then, nighttime was the parents continuing to drink beer and watch…

I’m planning on kids eventually and I’m already like “fuck that noise.”

Raising Hope wasn’t necessarily accurate (there were some incredibly outrageous storylines) but the show was about a solidly low-income family (mom was a maid, dad owned an unsuccessful landscape business, son who is also a father is a grocery clerk) and all the tricks that they had to employ just to make it by.

A friend of my boyfriend’s is pregnant and she and her husband are throwing a “gender reveal party” and the second I saw the invitation I was like, “Well, guess we have 18 years of mommy wars to look forward to.”

My mom signed me up for ballet because the daycare I went to would dress us and drive us for EITHER dance classes or karate classes.

I see the resemblance in just the shape. But I’m a pretty big Audrey Hepburn fan and when I saw the reference I couldn’t place it because when you think Audrey Hepburn hair, you think either Breakfast at Tiffany’s beehive or the adorable pixie she wore for so long.

And you’re lucky it wasn’t bad because mine was... ugh. I did not have a good reaction.

My point was more that the underlying assumption of so many of these laws is that women haven’t thought about what they’re doing or the consequences of their actions. A woman’s decision whether or not to have children is not taken lightly, and when women choose to have an abortion they understand that it could hurt (I…

Doesn’t one of them say “Know how I know you’re gay? You fuck guys.”

“black-and-white moralism with psychologically disordered eating”

I hate vegan “cheese” and vegan “butter” and whatever other shit they think up. If you’re committed to not eating cheese then just don’t fucking eat cheese. Stop pretending like whatever shit you’ve thrown together resembles cheese. No one is buying it.

Not sure about sugar but DEFINITELY way too much potassium. If you’re on a 2,000 calorie a day diet then a banana is about 13% (Thanks Google!) of your daily potassium. So you should have, if you’re not getting any other potassium, no more than maybe 8 or 9.

In my experience, men’s egos are almost always a fragile as a crystal Jenga set.

I read an article criticizing her and one of the points was that her fashion choices were “inspired by Communist dictators.”

I had a very early abortion a couple of years ago (I was less than six weeks along) and it was awful. Like- I spent the night curled up around a heating pad crying hysterically while my entire abdomen cramped for hours and hours.

You are an excellent parent.

Oh, god, no. I would be bouncing off the wall.

You only fill about 1/3 of it with coffee- the rest is ice and milk. It’s more like a concentrate than straight cold brew.

With 2:1 ratio for coffee to water you don’t really need coffee ice cubes. But also I’m three weeks from the end of the school year and would inject caffeine directly into my veins if it was possible. So I’ll probably do it anyway:)

yeah- if you do daily coffee and want it iced then it’s faster and cheaper to do it at home (well, faster if you prep for it).
