“At what point must a female Senator raise her hand or her voice to be recognized over the male colleagues in the room?”

"People think I'm a pretty little white boy but no way."

Girl, I feel ya. I actually felt quite a bit of Wisco pride during the protests of winter 2011. I don't know if you were at any of them, but there was such a feeling of solidarity throughout ALL of Madison, and I truly believed that there was NO WAY he wouldn't be recalled. Then election day came around, and I…

Another Wisconsinite here (I'm always so excited to run across others in the online world!). Paul Ryan makes me sick to my stomach. I'm legitimately terrified of his policies, and I would love punch him right in his smug-looking mouth.

Ahh, the never-ending insurance sage. It's so shitty that we always have to consider money as a pretty significant factor when making any kind of medical decision. It's so backwards. BUT, that is a rant for a different day!

Ha, I switched from the pill to Paragard for the exact same reasons as you...the hormones were fucking with me, and I would get unreasonably paranoid about being pregnant. I kind of need my period every month, just to be like "okay, everything's fine here!"

"To the world you are one person, but to one person you could be the world." Ughhh, vom.

Speaking as a newlywed, those glasses are fantastic, original, and completely appropriate. Honestly, our registry was more designed to help our guests than us — like, "hey, here's some stuff we like, in case you're totally stuck on the gift thing!" — especially since we were already shacking up, as many couples do…

Does anyone else have the copper IUD? And if so, does it also come with the WORST PERIODS EVER?! Jesus. I've had the thing for 6-ish months, and I've definitely noticed more cramping, but nothing unbearable...until this month! I've been out of commission all day today. My husband went out this morning and got me a hot…

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm currently sitting at home watching "Secrets of the Bling Ring," on Dateline NBC (yeah, yeah, don't judge), and I'm actually a bit astonished by the way Alexis Neiers is coming across. She appears to be very well-spoken and together...a far cry from the Pretty Wild days. And she…

I can't even describe how relieved I was to read this. Although I am only 22 and very newly married, the husband and I have ALWAYS felt that we were meant to be parents. I enjoy my work and have career-related goals, but having children has always felt more like a "calling," as cheesy as that sounds. We will not be…

Thank you! Some of my most difficult/satisfying/rewarding jobs haven't even been "real jobs," according to some peoples' definitions. Because they weren't 9-5 in a cubicle, I guess? You do you, girl!

A "friend" says they are naming the baby North.

Right?! My sister is that size at only 5 months. I do love my royals, but I wish she would just look like a normal human being ONE TIME. She probably wakes up looking like a Disney princess (instead of a woodland creature, like us normals).

I wasn't referring to Facebook or Google, and I have no problem with Pokemon. In my personal experience, at this particular company that I interviewed for, I felt that their quirkiness was forced and disingenuous, and I was turned off by it. For the record, you have no idea what I do for a living, how hard I work, or…

Goddamn it, Darren Criss, could you be any more perfect?!

Ugh. I interviewed at a similarly "quirky," tryhard place right out of college. The second they asked me my favorite Pokemon, I knew it wasn't gonna work out. They had a playground and a zip line in their office, for fuck's sake. Sometimes I just want to send some emails or something...you know, like, do my job.

This article made my week. Thank you

Seriously. I didn't want a public proposal for myself, but I'm not about to get all holy than thou towards those who are into that kind of thing. News flash: it's their life! And their marriage! And none of my business how they choose to get engaged. Marriage proposals are happy and joyous, no matter how they happen.…
