Haaaaaaa

The amount of political bumper stickers (regardless of political leanings) is directly proportional to the nuttiness of the owner/driver.

When my cousin was pregnant, I happened to mention to her that I’d hated being pregnant (a few years earlier). My pregnancy was planned and much-wanted, and I love being a mother to my amazing daughter - I just hated the being pregnant part. Partly it was because I had HG (lots and lots of puking throughout) but…

Just some passionate, patriotic individuals. People who love their nation. Nationalists, I believe they’re called.

Ugh that reminds me of my ex husband. He was in the army and I had to iron his BDUs (uniform) every night. One night during a horrible flu, I was in bed trying to rest. He came into the room to ask me if I was gonna iron. I said please no, I have the flu, I’m pregnant, I am so sick. Please let me rest. He dragged me…

Not a high bar there.

I too am an olds. I remember in second grade, one of my classmates had measles so severe that he had to be in a completely darkened room for two weeks so he didn’t go blind. No books, no TV, just darkness to preserve his eyesight. Vacines don’t cause autism, but do you really want your kid to be blind or deaf or…

As a mom of a kid on the autism spectrum it just makes me sick to my stomach. I mean, it’s not easy having a kid on the spectrum. But I’m glad he’s here. And honestly it would be a lot easier if other people weren’t such assholes about inviting him and including him (and including me as well). People are terrible. 

This is so evil. It’s just outright evil. You have to hate women so much to do this.

One of the great frustrations of these things is that the political reporters either toss it off as “something that happens in elections” or frame it in such a way that the fact that it’s an attempt to suppress people of color’s votes isn’t a provable fact but merely an “accusation” or a “some people say” type story…

I was a victim of childhood sexual abuse for many years. It took me twenty years to tell anyone. I worked with a great therapist, but still kept it to myself. About six years ago, the relative who did it was arrested for child porn. My mother asked me if he had ever “bothered” me. I was sick of lying so I told her the…

I was in 7th or 8th grade when my grandmother took me to the mall Regis and told them I wanted to look like Rachel from friends. I have super thick, course, kind-of-wavy-but-more-frizzy hair. They gave me what the stylist called a “star cut” which is actually (according to her) how they do “the Rachel.” They part the…

Mostly good choices on this list, I think, but some baffling inclusions/omissions. HaveIbeenpwned.com? Really? Sure, it’s a good site, but shaped the internet as we know it? Hardly. Likewise, I adored The Toast and its loss is still hard to swallow, but I feel like it was always a niche site even at the height of its…

It happens more often than you think, but to regular people who can’t afford gated communities or private security. Like my friend whose stalker became so frighteningly intrusive that she had to pick up and move across the country. Or another who left the country to escape her psycho husband (a well-connected man who…

Adam Levine taking his rightful place as runner-up, excellent.

The mom is awesome!

I’m in my 12th week of a thankfully successful pregnancy so far. We had to go through hell and back with IVF to get here and I’ve been a ball of nerves and anxiety until my ultrasound today. If god forbid, I had lost the baby, and I had to deal with this fuckstick on top of an already devastating miscarriage, I would…

If you literally CAN’T do your job then you’re in the wrong profession, my dude.

R.I.P. Becky.

Not that there will be any consequences, but possibly the only thing I’m enjoying about the year of absolute SUCK that is 2018, is the outing of the fact that MEN are the ones that are actually too emotional, unstable, unreliable, uncontrollable, and irresponsible to lead companies or governments.
