I don’t think he was hacked, but right after I typed my statement I started realizing that the statements released by Gingrich, Trump, and Rubio sound suspiciously similar, so I’m thinking someone in the GOP crafted a message for everyone in the party to use in a crass attempt to woo voters of color away from Hillary…

I’ve already rethought it and I am now thinking less “broken clock” and more “crass attempt to woo voters of color away from Hillary Clinton.” The messages being shared by Gingrich, Trump, and Rubio all seem just a little too similar. I think the GOP gave party members a message to use.

I have 2 theories on the sudden change of rhetoric (note that I say “rhetoric” and not “heart”) in the GOP when it comes to police brutality towards people of color:

Actually, even Trump said something bizarrely sympathetic about the whole thing. I’m still going with the “broken clock” theory. Even the most horrible of people have been known to show a little bit of humanity every now and then.

I was just going to come here and suggest exactly that - instead of being gay, that Sulu should be bi. If it is supposed to be an alternate timeline but with the same characters, then in one timeline Sulu leans more to the heterosexual side of the sexuality spectrum and in the other timeline he leans more to the…

If you think a window unit is amazing, just wait until you have your first opportunity to live in a place with central air! My husband and I had a window unit in our bedroom and it made hot days and nights tolerable, but earlier this year we took ours out and installed central air conditioning and I tell you, it is a…

That’s extremely similar to something that I said. The Cardinals and Bishops in the U.S. are all so actively defiant of everything Pope Francis has said during his tenure as Pope that I’m just sitting here quietly waiting for Pope Francis to get exasperated with them and go “DID I STUTTER, U.S. CARDINALS AND BISHOPS?!…

I can’t believe that I’m saying this because NFP is ridiculous, but modern NFP isn’t just the rhythm method (i.e. it usually works slightly better than the NFP of your grandparents generation). Modern NFP* is actually based on relatively sound science, BUT (and this is a huge BUT) you have to have an extremely regular…

The saddest part to me was thinking about less educated women and women in poorer countries that are being told about NFP. They just blindly go along with it because they are devoutly religious and don’t know any better. It’s fine to make that decision if you have the financial ability to care for any and all children…

That’s the kind of b.s. Pope Francis is trying to stop with what he’s been saying, but the U.S. Catholic Church doesn’t seem to care and insists on continuing to be bigoted and judgmental instead of loving and welcoming. I’m waiting for Pope Francis to lay the smack down (y’know, in a holy way) on the U.S. Catholic…

The marriage prep is ridiculous but the MOST ridiculous part of it is the Natural Family Planning nonsense where they lie to your face and tell you about all the bad things other forms of birth control does to your body and how Natural Family Planning is actually more effective than other birth control methods. Mind…

Pope Francis: We need to be more loving, stop talking so much about abortion and gay marriage, and start actively helping the poor.

Debit cards are no bueno. I either get cash or use my credit card. Identity thieves love a debit card because if you get someone’s debit card, you can clean out everything in their bank account. It’s much more difficult to get your money back from the bank after an identity thief steals your bank info. Getting your…

Starred for the adorable corgi pup. <3 I want to snuggle that little pooch with his stubby little legs and one floppy ear! *all the snorgles!*

Do you have a source on the bit about the starch-based body powders thing (not the effects of straight up cornstarch powder but specifically cornstarch-based body powder because straight cornstarch powder isn’t properly processed for use on skin; that is much better documented)? I was trying to verify whether or not…

I’m not familiar with Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, but she sounds rad. I’ll have to check out some of her work. I never really contemplated the performative aspect of pregnancy, but there’s a lot of truth in what she’s saying. There’s just so much fluff around being pregnant and having an infant now (cute/clever photo…

Ha! You are my inspiration! When my husband and I have kids, I totally want to do this. Thankfully, my husband and I have similar senses of humor, so I’m almost positive he’d be on board because it would be entirely too much fun coming up with absurd size comparisons.

The talc is/was the issue, so just make sure to get the kind without talc (usually made from cornstarch), and keep on using baby powder. That baby powder trick really is one of the handiest shortcuts I’ve ever learned! It’s super useful when you’re in a pinch and don’t have time to shower but need to be presentable.

There are a lot of talc free baby powders now (they’re usually cornstarch), so you can keep using the baby powder, just make sure to get the cornstarch kind. If I were you though, I’d probably stop using dry shampoo on a regular basis. It’s probably okay to use every now and then, but this article is talking about…

Now, what happened to Ann? Bet she’d have some corrections too.
