“on that epic adventure of becoming an adult—from first kiss to first kid!”

It’s hard for me to feel sorry for people who are protesting their right to treat workers like indentured servants, and offensive that they are invoking the “women business owners” bit.

When I hear “statistics” like that, I want to scream. When I was growing up, for example, my mother strongly agreed that if I ate carrots I’d have good eyesight and eating the crust on my sandwich would give me curly hair. As I sit here writing this many decades later with my glasses on and my straight hair, and I…

100% YES. These groups are twice damaging to children: first they threaten children’s health, and then they perpetuate a stigma around autism as if an autistic child is a lesser person.

Even if you were to remove the significant factor of the rampant racism, for the life of me I will never understand southern university life. It’s like reading about a different country in comparison to my own experience attending college in the Northeast.

I'm going to guess a second Y chromosome....

It’s amazing how many of the yahoos think they are ready for the big time because they get good coverage in their home district press plus Politico quoted them a few times. Very different from sustained media attention over the course of a few hours. Suddenly, it’s clowns spilling out of their car. Troy Gowdy is the…

Really? Mine is way, way lower. If someone would like to pay me $1m a picture to star in every crappy movie you can conceive of, I will happily take it.

I had sex with her. We did it all. [We did] some drugs. She called me daddy. She didn’t bring up Tyga, not one time.” He’s apparently trying to blackmail her.

I’ve often said if I ever won the lottery, after I spent a couple of years traveling and enjoying the world, what I’d probably want to do is settle down to just take college classes for the sake of learning, which wasn’t enough of a focus for me in college. I was more consumed with managing to keep my GPA high enough…

My 5-year old nephew is becoming increasingly obstinate. I assumed it was a function of being 5, but just to be safe I should probably warn my sister to be on the lookout for signs of some kind of impending act of terrorism.

I tried to download it to my iPad and after about 15 minutes it went from 6 minutes left to 3 DAYS left. On my phone - a 5s- I tried three times and each time it failed. And yes, I have enough memory. Brilliant job, Apple.

Margaret Thatcher?

It seems fairly clear that what she’s saying is, “there are other ways to express your maternal instincts than actually being a mother.” But as to the idea that she’s a mother, why not? I have an aunt who I call my “spiritual mother.” She taught me things and was there for me in ways my mother wasn’t. And I had a fine…

There’s something sort of nice about this entire turn of events, isn’t there? We haven’t just seen Caitlyn learn more about herself over these past few months - we’ve seen her learn more about entire groups of marginalized people.

Oh, so much yes to that. I lost a good amount of weight 15 years ago and it was suddenly an invitation to comment on my looks, progress and success by EVERYONE I knew - even slightly. And for a woman like me, who put on weight as a subconscious self-defense against sexual attention I was getting from adults when I was…

Yeah, I have a feeling he will come and go in a rather short time frame. I've seen him on other shows. He's not especially funny. I think he's more Kilborn than Stewart.

Your user name is everything.

You should take the same approach as Say Yes to the Dress’s companion show, Say Fine to the Shirt:

I only feel ashamed because my mother-in-law is a retired professor of English literature (post-WW II American fiction was her area of study). I don’t actually hide the fact from anyone else in my life. As far as she knows, my favorite authors are Jane Austen and Wallace Stegner. And they are. Along with Georgette…
