Aside: I’m also a mom (of young kiddos) and I TOTALLY understand now why mothers in their 40s/50s begin to don leopard print and go out for crazy nights with their girlfriends. Can’t wait.

Yeah these rumors make no sense. For them to be true, one or both of these women would have to be horribly immature, and they both seem like nice people. Adults. Even if they are very “different,” mature people are able to maintain cordiality, especially when the stakes are high.

She said shit!!! Awesome. She’s just like us. 

Nothing beats Wranglers for durability. ‘Murica. And if you pay more than $15 for a t-shirt you’re a chump.

Fever and body aches are symptoms of a virus. The flu is a virus, yes, but there are literally hundreds (thousands?) of other viruses that can make you sick, such as the common cold, that also cause fever and body aches but are non-threatening compared to the flu. Most of the time a few days of rest and liquids are…

And that quote doesn’t even make sense. The “outside of a horse,” Ron? Like, you enjoy the horse’s hide? Dummy. He just thought he was a cowboy and wanted to coin a cool horse quote a la Winston Churchill who said, “No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle.” Now that’s a cool horse quote. Don’t try to…

Yes PREACH! I said it above, I’ll say it again: fever and aches does not equal flu! Losing 10+ pounds in a week because you can’t even keep down water, wheezing with every breath, and HIGH fevers equal flu. People are dumb. 

Omg yes. I’ve had the flu before, and it’s a league of its own. I hate people who are like, “I have a fever and chills, must be flu!” Like no, you have a run-of-the-mill virus. Drink water and shut up about it. Call me when you have respiratory distress. Actually don’t, just call your doctor because congratulations,…

Vaccines can make you FEEL sick. The whole point of vaccines is for them to trigger a mild immune response which builds immunity. Sometimes your body overreacts and the response isn’t so mild, making you feel symptoms of illness even if you aren’t infected.

Yeah that’s dumb. Being able to cook doesn’t mean you have to bake soufflés and shit. Cooking can be simple and it saves money and is healthier. Sometimes it’s even fun! Anyway, I get super pissed at people (you know the ones I mean) who are all like, “Omg I can’t! How do I turn the oven on? Lolz, I’m like, SOOO bad…

My cousin recently got married and in addition to the standard list of gifts they included an option to donate towards their honeymoon. Of course all millennials are like, “cool, great idea!” But my mom, a baby boomer, could NOT wrap her head around it. She thought it was “tacky” to ask for people to pay for your…

I get the comedic application. Otherwise I was going to say that seems like a lot of work just because a male actor doesn’t want to do “actual” nudity. All 10 times it’s been done. 

Gahhhhh...I knew it. But I love period movies so I’m going to watch it anyway. Goddamnit. 

Yeah retro food is fucking gross. Unless you like mayo fruit salad. But props to her family for the hustle! It’s sweet that they tried. 

My favorite conspiracy theory of the moment: RBG didn’t injure herself at all. This was just an elaborate ruse for her to skip Brett’s party. 

Women (even women who identify as men) are seen as non-threatening to men in power. People who are against gay rights are generally scared by the potential “feminization (read: corruption) of men” that they perceive comes with male gayness. They’re motivated by the fear it could “happen to them” or their sons. Lesbian…

The current obstetrical model is fucked up. The US is currently the most dangerous place to give birth in the developed world. For women with childbirth complications, modern medicine saves lives. The problem is doctors today apply last-resort interventions to EVERYONE, even healthy women, with devastating results.…

I feel like every person in Antarctica should be an honorary scientist at least?

Gah!! Yes, lock your doors, people!! I live in a safe neighborhood with great neighbors but it’s not about them. It’s about the random creepers passing through!
