No mention of Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, the only all-women's art college in the United States? Come on. MOORE FOREVER. ART BOYS CAN TAKE THEIR EMOTIONS AND SUCK IT BECAUSE WE'VE GOT WORK TO DO.

Friends of a friend were getting married in Lebanon and most of the guests were en route to Istanbul for a few days of pre-wedding vacation when hostilities broke out and Israel bombed the runways in Beirut. While the bride and groom in Lebanon were married and then airlifted to spend their honeymoon on a U.S.…

I gave my bouquet to a friend who is a bishop in the Independent Catholic Church and had been working to legalize marriage equality. Then marriage equality came to Pennsylvania! My bouquet was magical, hooray!

Can't we just respect the man for his excellent work in "Can't Stop the Music"? I know he was overshadowed by roller skating Steve Guttenberg, but he was still excellent.

What a missed opportunity to make a truly disgusting-tasting cake.

I was arc welding a very heavy, 6' tall metal chair (art college). It looked like a lifeguard stand, and I'd leaned it, upside-down, against a wall in order to let the metal melt into the seams of the bottom of the chair. (For those who don't know what arc welding is, think of Flashdance.) Long story short, I didn't…

When our friend was a Cistercian monk he brought us a monk-made fruitcake. Those holy men were not shy with the rum and it was GLORIOUS.

There's a lady who stands outside of Penn Medicine in Philly all year round with a sign that links abortions to breast cancer. She's clearly crazy and most people ignore her, but when I was massively pregnant and passing her every week my hormones got the best of me, so I ripped the sign from her hands, threw it down,…

Shop for books at your local indies on November 29th! Authors and illustrators will be "working" at their favorite bookstores and you can score a personalized copy of something great. I did it last year and they actually made us learn the layout of the store (even though it was forbidden for us to touch the money). htt…

Answer: last Saturday.

Goop II: Organic Boogaloo.

Fun fact: "bookkeeper" is the only word in the English language with three consecutive double-letters (besides "bookkeeping," but that's nit-picking).

That's why my husband and I had Wedding Pie. If we'd wanted something more sculptural WE'D HAVE MADE IT OUT OF CLAY BECAUSE FONDANT IS EQUALLY EDIBLE.

It's classified as MG (Middle Grade), which encompasses 7ish to 13ish.

I'm patronizing and condescending because you read a whole article about how Cool Girls grow out of their Too Cool To Hang With Other Women phase and responded with I Hang Out With Cool Dads Because Moms Are Super Lame.

Hey, as long as they understand that that your preexisting plans are more vital than their sick kids, they must be decent parents. Children love to kiss a smartphone goodnight, it's pretty much exactly like having Mommy present.

It's not that kids prefer one parent over another; it's that no decent parent feels like hanging out with their friends when their kid is sick. We want to be there for our hot, barfy, poopy, miserable kids.We want to give them soup and let them watch extra teevee and do everything we can to make them feel better,…

Such a bummer when dudes aren't comfortable being outwardly loving of their kids and involved with their development.

I met a 40-something Cool Girl at a conference. She was beautiful, aloof, crude, accomplished, and deeply, clearly desperate to be 20-something again.

Every time I tell my kids "No" I feel like a better parent. It also makes me feel like a Benevolent Mommy Deity when I actually say "Yes."
