I was going to nominate these, so I’ll just second them enthusiastically. They’re the best, hands down. I got my first pair four years ago (still have ‘em; they’re still great) and have recommended them to EVERYBODY. Best skinny jeans ever, and I have tried tons, at all price points. Always come back to these.

Sometimes the reality and the fiction are just too close to reliably tell apart.

Literally laughed right out loud at this.

This is kick-ass, take-no-prisoners Hillary at her genius best and I am here for it.

I will support this campaign.

I should add - I know lots of people who do sponsored posts and do them well, but they’re selective in what they promote and they disclose what they promote and they don’t fill up their feeds entirely with #ad #ad #ad #ad.

They do. That’s why brands *really* hate having to have influencers disclose. They’ve done the research. They know it makes a difference. It breaks the illusion of an authentic, unbought endorsement (which everyone wants, right? If you know/think that someone you admire swears by X product because she uses it every…

Do they not have enough money to NOT do this? I mean, it’s a kind of a gross look, shilling bullshit products on your social media platforms. I’ve gotten occasional offers to shill stuff on social (not at the Kardashian level, obviously), and I mostly never do (exception: causes, friends’ businesses, and women-run…

Yes and it was exhilarating.

This is my future. FLIPPER FEET.

My daughter is ten and wearing a womens’ 8. She’ll be into 11s before she’s out of high school. Middle school, even. #bigfeet4ever

LOL had same ‘wait, whuh?’ moment for similar reason.

You need to share this recipe.

She was honestly the sweetest and everything that you would hope she would be. My inner 12 year old was never happier (or more emotional ;)).

I’ve met James Marsden. He is absolutely a lovely human being.

I met Judy Blume and was literally all like “I AM SO SORRY I CAN’T BE COOL ABOUT THIS YOU WERE MY CHILDHOOD” and then cried a little. Like, in front of her. (It was made a little better when my Very Cool Friend who introduced us leaned over afterward and whispered, ‘that’s okay, I did the same thing.’ But only a…

I legit laughed right out loud at this.

It’s hard but it’s worth it. My ten year old is a volatile piece of work but she’s super smart (part of what makes her a piece of work) and wonderfully creative and fascinating to be around and I adore her. It’s hard on the heart and the brain to grapple with her when her emotions get away from her (and I’m sure will…

That’s cultural sexism for you. ‘Girl stuff’ is gendered. Boy stuff is the status quo. Cowboys, space rangers, robots, scouts, etc etc - all ‘gender neutral’ and deemed good for girls because they showcase better role models. Who happen to be male.

I know very few mothers who really live like that. Sure, they’re out there, and their performances are disproportionately weighted in digital/social forums, but it’s not everyone, and it is, as you suggest, performed. Most mothers-on-the-ground are just doing their thing, balancing professional lives and ambitions…
