I would bet $100 that Bislik is one of those, “I don’t have many female friends, I just connect with men better, so much less drama,” women. There is a rich vein of, “I’m not like other girls,” running through this whole thing that she seems to un-selfaware of to recognize, let alone see the internalized misogyny…

 IIt mat not be that he can’t get a job in all of Canada but that there isn’t a market where ever her family lives. For example, I work in a law technology field, and while my skills could be applied anywhere technically, realistically there are only strong markets for what I do in a few major cities. Finding a job…

Anyone have any suggestions on products to try for a nighttime moisturizer/serum that’s good for skin that’s prone to brake outs? (I’m almost 40, and increasingly indignant that I’m still breaking out.) I’m a little leery of retinols or anything that’s going to make me sun-sensitive because, even though I use SPF in…

I’ve rejiggered my evening routine so that now, as soon as the kiddo is down, before I do anything else I put on lotion, change from my work clothes to my lounge wear, wash my face, and floss. Things have been so crazy and stressful for months now and there have been so many nights that I’ve just fallen into bed after…

I don’t even think I want to know what, “he keeps screaming and screaming in the dark,” means. She and bunny slept peacefully through the night whatever it does signify.

Read this on the way home and enjoyed the mild creeping. Picked up my preschooler, did the normal dinner and bed routine, looking forward to reading the comments. As I kissed my sweet child good night she said to me, “Mommy, can I get another animal in the middle of the night instead of [bunny she’s slept with since…

My response as a parent upon reading that headline:

I wonder why the recommendation is to wait until 11? My small person is 4. She gets shots all the damn time. Seems like it would be easier to administer a multi-dose series at this age (or earlier) when we’re already at the doctors every few months for well baby/ear infection/gross preschool malady/foreign object…

WORD! I remember reading Flowers on a long car trip at about...15?Having no idea of what I was in for. I was a very precocious reader and had read a bunch of my grandma’s romance novels way too young but Flowers is my first clear memory of, “DAFAQ did I just read?!?”

I have, what my grandmother calls, an hour-glass figure. I’m also tallish with a short torso. Put me in skinny jeans and I look like a half-eaten carmal apple on a stick.

I’m glad. I’m too infrequent a commenter, I think, to be followed and I’m cool with being eternally grey. (It’s not like I’m say deeply profound things here and the world is missing out.) But I’ve been commenting on Jezebel since the days before Kinja and think my history shows that those comments have been mostly…

I called the police on the police once. Some folks were having a very loud argument about their very dramatic relationship under our apartment window (she apparently left him because of his wife (?) and he was alternately berating for leaving and pleading with her to come back. After 45 mins, unable to get a visual…

The South Asian folks that I know don’t generally appreciate being lumped in with East Asian people. I have a lot of Indian family members and while they have no beef with the people of east asia, they also don’t have much in common with them in terms of culture, ethnicity, language, or religion. I’m confident they…

I would give anything in the world to sleep in past 6:30 am and spend a Saturday lolling around watching Netflix again. Anything except for the small person who looks like a much cuter version of me and who was running around my house in a NASA t-shirt, no pants, and talking about how the moon was mean for getting in…

There may have been legal ramifications to her speaking while the divorce was pending. I’m sure her divorce lawyer advised her to keep quiet until everything was finalized.

Clearly, I’m a fan of his work. But I have never been able to get over or forgive what was done to the character of Cordelia Chase. And that was before I knew it was a result of pregnancy discrimination.

I was so disappointed in Age of Ulton. I’d heard all the rumors that they were going to get into the Black Widow’s backstory and after her “I got a lot of red in my ledger,” comment in the first one, I was so ready for an exploration of how she was grappling with killing a large number of people. And I got, “I can’t…

Rambling musings:

What part of their “heritage” are they even celebrating? The part where their ancestors led a treasonous rebellion against the US Government over the right to own people? Or the part where they got their assess handed to them for it? Because if that were my heritage, I’d sweep that shit way under the rug with…
