He wanted it to look stylish. It had to be practical but also needed to look great.

Like cars, I have a feeling that the concept will be much cooler than the finished product.

I’m just going to come out and say it; this is bass-ackwards. Space Suits are an extremely difficult challenge to overcome, and starting from an esthetic point of view is going to make it more difficult, not easier.

Oh condolences on your lost baby! My youngest brother died at about that age and it’s so hard — he was a real person! But a baby, which makes everyone so sad that they mostly can’t deal with it.

I agree with Natasha. I would also add that you managed to find that balance of keeping them close but not raising them to be fearful. Perfect!

Please give me the strength. I’m browsing Jezebel from the bathroom I’m pretending to need to use while avoiding A Required Family Event.

Hazel you are a bight shining star of goodness and light.

<3 As someone whose awesome mom made her home into a destination for so many kids who had less awesome moms themselves, I try very hard not to take her awesomeness for granted. I’m lucky to have her as my own mom, but I’ve always been happy to share.

This is my mother minus drinking plus that EXACT haircut.

My mother is an alcoholic, compulsive-spender-hoarder narcissist. I finally went no contact with her last year and this will be my first mother’s day not acknowledging her. It’s tough because there is always an innate desire to please, to be a good person to your mother. But when it just gets thrown in your face and…

Thanks for this piece, Natasha. For me it’s my Dad who I had to blacklist. I still get really tired of people who tell me “but but but he’s your Dad”. So what. He was no father. Sometimes being a Dad merely boils down to getting someone pregnant, and I resent being made to feel like I’m in his eternal debt because he…

Happy Mother’s Day y’all!

Thank you so much for this.

Thank you so much for this! I was taken away from my mother when I was a child due to serious neglect. The apartment we were living in was condemned. She left, didn’t even try to get me back or see me. No phone calls, nothing. Just left while I wondered why. I got that we weren’t living right, didn’t understand the…

Hey Jezzies.

I was adopted as a baby, and emancipated at 14 from my second family for these reasons. I find this time of year especially hard and it’s always good to know I am not alone in this.

My dad had to do this with not just his mother, but his two toxic sisters too. After his dad died, he had no tie to his side of the family any more. I remember we were constantly either not talking to them or, when we were talking, we were fighting. 10 years ago he said he was 100% done, and hasn’t spoken to them…

My mom tried to run me over with her car at Christmas and I have only spoken to her once since then. And somehow I feel like the piece of shit in this whole situation.
