We just moved the fuck out of Québec. Still the best decision ever.

Meanwhile all I want us a fucking daycare space in Toronto. I am willing to give up my entire monthly paycheque in order to pay the exorbitant fees, just so I can remain competitive in the workforce. And yet it is looking like I will be a SAHM. At least I have a choice (be completely fucking dependant on my husband’s…

My birth control gave me post partum depression.

I literally went to an all girls Catholic convent school and people came in tuxes to the formal, and no one gave a crap.

I'm not really trying to convince anyone of anything other than different people do different things when it comes to weddings and that's that. By all means think it's tacky, but the hyperbole when someone does it differently is a bit much.

I am also black, not American, and everyone I know does this. No one gets upset because the reality is, people want to help the new couple set up their lives in a way that makes sense for them. For some, they need a fondue set, for others it's to help them buy their first home. No one is obligated to give, and where…

Well, literally everyone I know does that so... that must be the convention for us.

In lieu of a registry, we asked for contributions to our house fund. So since people fucking asked, we put the info on little slips and shared it in the most efficient way possible.

I'm not even going to bother. Broke one of my own rules today and commented on a Jez wedding article. Worst idea in the world.

BTW we planned our wedding by our fucking selves in another country thousands of miles from the people we love, so no, no one "around" me was able to stop us.

We put slips with bank info into the envelope that contained the invitation.

I'm so fucking tacky. I totally should have checked with you first. My bad. It's been two years but I'll get on those apology notes right away.

Does she even PubMed?

But da pretty princess pony tho...

I know you think you're being helpful, but the reality is this is very victim blaming. When people kept telling me what I should have done in my abusive situation, all I could hear was "this is why you deserved it."

Didn't Shawn's dad die?

I believe you Nafissatou Diallo.

It is awful. That said, most people who have it do have to go about their business. I know a bodybuilder who had to go right on training.

Mosquito nets, and avoid strong scents. That's about it.

Chikungunya isn't rare just because Americans haven't heard of it. It's wreaking havoc all over the tropics and while rarely fatal, is incredibly painful and lingers for months once you're infected. Everyone I know is affected, including my father in law who is 77, was already suffering from shingles, and now cannot…
