I started doing this two years ago, the list on my phone, and it’s been AWESOME.  I love giving thoughtful gifts, and it makes it easy and fun.  Plus, it’s entertaining to scroll back through the year and see all of the weird shit that I’ve added to the list.

Why not ask their own son, though? Why always ask the woman? If you’re writing anecdotally, I’ll reply so, in that women have to deal with these things from their in-laws when their husbands should handle it. She’s not his keeper nor his secretary.

Arlie Hochschild coined the term “emotional labor” and clarified her thinking around its use in this article in The Atlantic. While she originally meant managing feelings for a job (flight attendants, expected to be cheerful and calm) and agreed that the term has gained a use she didn’t originally intend, she…

I need someone to explain why This Is Us is a good show and not grief porn.

I hope this awful bitch I worked with years ago can never find jeans that really work on her, and also that she may have unfettered access to abortion services should she need them.

I’m currently restoring old sash windows in my house. I disagree that it’s a weight problem. If the cord snapped, yes the sash weights would drop and the window frame would fly up like that..... but, unweighted, the window would not stay down on its own. It would pop back up each time it was pulled down, which would…

OMG, THE VIDEO.

And there it is. I hope everyone who didn’t vote for Hillary because of their stupid fucking principles sees what happens when you purity test yourself into oblivion. Oh? She didn’t inspire you? Maybe losing your health insurance will inspire you.

booo hisssss 

Not vying for the contest, but the Ouija story brought back my own Oujia memories...

Harron doesn’t like that it was Sacha Baron Cohen who was able to arrange it for some (presumably petty and stupid) reason

I work in public health. I have offspring and a husband.
