What happened to “when they go low, we go high” (as Michelle Obama exhorted us to do)? The implication of your comment (and Anna Merlan’s article above) is that if Trump and Gingrich were more fit and conventionally attractive, they would somehow be more justified in fat shaming Machado and more generally criticizing…

Dickchoke and the Ass-Cannons is my new fart-themed doo-wop group’s name.

This is probably not the place for it, but yesterday on the way to work, a man slowed down his truck, rolled down his window, and took the time to yell “you’re a pig, you know that?” at me. Presumably because I was in the crosswalk? Genuinely not sure. I was talking to my (thin) husband on the way home about how…

People who say “could of” instead of “could have” are irritating.

Balloons are Having A Year!

The sound of the baby’s heart eventually breaks the moment of silence and Zoey says, “Thank you, God,” which could be an instinctual reaction from her—she could still be questioning her beliefs.

No, good humor is ice cream.

I blame Duncan Hunter.

I grew up and went to school in El Cajon - my mother still lives there just blocks from the location of the shooting - so this hits really close to home. What a fucking horrible tragedy.

What happen to Laurie daily report???

Some background from a San Diegan. El Cajon is about 20 minutes east of the city and it’s not one of our better areas. I remember my friends joking and calling it El KKKajon when we were growing up because the place is white trash-tastic.

The one Jose Fernandez visual I’ll never forget is how he acted during Stanton’s epic home run derby performance this year...if he wasn’t 6'3 240 lbs, I would have thought he was Stanton’s son or young nephew. The reaction to every moon shot, the gatorade/towel timeouts, the emoji sign he held up - he was every…

This is the correct response. Also, I forgot to mention the smell.

Your nauseating story (scalp wax = gaaaaah!) reminded me of a training I went to once where in front of me for three days, there was a white woman with a single waist-length dread that was flat and shaped like a beaver tail. I kept wondering if she was going to use it to slap together a dam.

Making mental illness and suicide attempts not something that you get punished for but treated for?

Poverty, lack of education, food deserts, terrible women’s health services, miseducation about our bodies (I have learned more about my body in the comments section than I ever did in school). Possibly related to our high percentage of C-sections too maybe? (Meaning people who have multiple deliveries via C-section…
