OK sorry to reply to my own post but after reading some other stories on here want to follow up mine with: if my mom had followed up this announcement with "and I wouldn't have it any other way, you're exactly the kid I wanted and couldn't imaging loving a child any more even if they were planned" type of thing, it…

This phrase is the best thing I've heard all week. It's only Tuesday but...I'm confident this one wins.
It's cool that some parents feel great about telling the truth about this stuff - but have you asked any kids? I was an oops baby and it kind of sucked when I found out about it. My mom and I were just having a kind of normal conversation about birth control when I was a teenager (I was on it for acne) and she…
Also - I literally lost my shoes on my wedding day, the cute lacy white Toms I had gotten. Since they have such a little sole and the wedding was outside on grass, I went barefoot. My grandma had been unable to decide between blue or yellow Toms (our wedding colors) and had gotten both ("I'll wear one of each!" she…
My mother-in-law, a sweet but clueless lady who has really weird taste in fashion, was so excited to show me the dress she was wearing to the wedding when we visited a few months before the big day. She brings me into her room, absolutely beaming, SO EXCITED for me to see what she picked, and it's...completely WHITE.…
Definitely worth it.
this was my same thought. see if the lungs floated? an "experiment" hundreds of years old that's been discredited by scientists? the fuh? the actual fuh?
I see what you're saying and agree with what you're saying, but still disagree that's is even close to the level of Shaffir's "comedy."
Yeah I wish I had one! I've spent a little bit looking but there's just SO MUCH out there. And from what I've seen most of it focuses on women and children being forced into slavery, as well as in agriculture, trying to find what I saw years ago specifically about men from India in restaurants in the midwest...will…
I don't have any recent statistics handy, but in about 5 years ago in college I took a lit class about writing of the Indian diaspora and we read a book that is basically from the perspective of the enslaved man in this story - came to America legally, overstayed his visa, restaurant owner took his passport, beat him,…
As a married lady who doesn't really do the whole BJ thing, I'm totally into this. It's not really a big statement about not doing because of past partner's disinterest in eating me out or anything, it's just, I really don't like it. My dentist says I have a small mouth which may be part of the reason I just find it…
OMGOMGOMGOMG SO COOL YOU TWO ARE MY NEW FAVORITE PEOPLE EVERRR
It needs to be pointed out that this is a big fucking deal because she's a GIRL! As in, because gendercide is such a huge problem in India (not because a two year old boy would be able to do it better, I mean, did you see the look of determination on her face? That little frown. Oh my god.) But really, millions of…
All I can say is, thanks Indiana, for taking the cameras away from Wisconsin for a while.
My grandma and I are super close - I live next door to her and we have a drink every night and talk about life. I'm moving to a new city next month and leaving her physical space is what causes me the most anxiety and makes me tear up just to think about (so, right now). I so value her insight and encouragement and…
I can't stand horoscope shit, and for some reason a weirdly high number of educated, cool people in my circle are into it. Yet the second they start talking about it, they become less educated and cool in my eyes.
True, you don't want to get rickets. Which a friend of mine got in part from literally never going outside in the sun while he was studying for finals.
Thanks for sharing. I think it's good to realize that even though my husband is a feminist, he's not perfect and I'll need to be talking to him about these things - and it's good to know there are others out there!
Pale is pretty! So long as it's healthy!
