As a white woman married to a South Asian man, I LOVED this show. It was like our life was being played out on Netflix. Except my in-laws are somewhat insane, not funny and cool and understanding like Aziz’s parents. I also have other white friends who didn’t quite get the show, though.

Hillary Clinton as Rufus Scrimgeour? A political leader trying to unite a troubled and fractured constituency but ultimately gets toppled by evil and her own personal vendettas?

The kind with a super bro CEO who only gave people raises who took the initiative to directly suck up to him, which of course was usually only successful if you were also a super bro. Now the company is going through the final phases of a buy out (CEO was ousted) and the new overlords had no idea just how incredibly…

I have a friend born to hippy parents named Sundown. She’s now as punk an edgy as they come.

Thank you for picking this up. I saw the initial DNA Info story and I haven’t been able to process this - it’s so utterly beyond words. Thank you for helping make this a bigger story.

Ugh, whenever I’d get raises, my boss always tried to be super cheery for me and tell me that I was getting one of the highest percentage raises in the office. A high percentage means fuck all when you know you’re making the least amount of money of everyone. Gimme that 2% on the $200,000 the dude in the office over…

Hey wait a minute! You never said the Wine In A Box was perpetual! Can I change my vote?

Agreed. The two companies I have worked for so far in my career have both been bought out. At the second one, the CEO held a company-wide video conference to discuss the merger after the self-congratulatory email. He spent the whole thing drinking a beer on screen with his blue jeaned legs propped up on his desk.

So that’s really a “person in a sauna” and not “inadvisable naked cooking”?

Damn it all. I’m pregnant now (due in 3 months) but we already know we won’t be ready for round 2 for 3-4 years when my husband gets a “real job” (the physician career path is a loooooooong road). I did talk my OB into writing me a script for a free breast pump before Cheeto in Chief took office, which she thought was…

I got the AZMed one Amazon recommended. It’s working pretty well so far, but I am only on day 2 with it. I will say that I can now walk the half mile home from the train station at the end of the day without wanting to cry, so that’s a nice change!

Oh goodness. I’m in week 26 of my pregnancy and day 1 of the hideous gigantic velcro band. Finding a pregnancy-literate chiropractor is my next step should this tan monstrosity peeking out from under my shirt be all for naught. I’m glad to hear you had a good experience!

My husband was born in Pakistan but is a naturalized US Citizen with a US passport. I took his Pakistani last name when we married, but I’m a basic white girl. Even though we don’t have any immediate plans for international travel, we’ve still decided to stay on US soil until Cheetolini is out of office. Enjoy your…

Great. Thanks a lot for setting off my pregnancy cravings. How am I expected to focus on my day now without hummus and pita chips?

Being pregnant is really stomping on my plans for participation, unfortunately. I have to hoard my (thankfully paid) vacation days so I can afford to take maternity leave in June, so I’m at work as normal today. I also no longer own anything red that fits, so I’m rocking gray and blue today. At the very least, I got…

A guy I dated in college grew up next door to the Mellencamp’s compound. Apparently he was the kind of neighbor where you immediately knew your favorite ball was dead to you the second it went over his wall. And this was back in the ‘90s.

I can’t pinpoint exactly when I grasped my economic situation as my family has always been up and down due to successive job losses and bad investments. I think I first realized that we were comfortable when my parents were able to move us out of a really crappy apartment complex and buy us a big new house - when they…

I dunno. The US Weekly article says that some random “host” on “The Talk” confirmed it with George a few weeks ago. None of this information came directly from either Amal or George or their paid representatives.

*sitting here reading this comment as a white girl impregnated by her brown husband granted citizenship under the Obama administration*

Maria Menounos needs to be a big girl and just get her damn ring fixed. I lost small diamond in my band and put off getting it fixed for a year because I didn’t think we could take the cost. When I finally went, $100. If she doesn’t have that kind of money laying around...
