Not my kid. She has ADHD and anything that flickers with a blue light is like crack.

It’s gonna be different for every kid, but yeah, when screentime is heavily restricted, I think it causes a lot of kids to get crazy over it. My sisters and I were like that. We didn’t have cable growing up, so whenever we did get the chance to watch cable TV, we really went nuts over it. My dad used it as evidence

My boys are 8 and 5, and we’re pretty lackadaisical with it too. We have had the same experience, that they get bored and look for more engaging ways to play. One amazing thing is that this summer, they have spent so much time together, they have become, like, co-dependent best friends with their own secret society.

My suggestion is headphones. When you can’t hear the incessant video game and tv noise it makes 10 hours a day of screen time feel like a mere 2. And it’s all about how it makes you feel after all.

Know what website broke down the WWC teams? Deadspin.

While we’re at it, can we stop calling that thing they’re playing in 2018 the FIFA World Cup? Can we call it the FIFA Men’s World Cup since we’re calling this one the FIFA Women’s World Cup?? (And by “we” I mean FIFA, the media, etc. etc., not the commenters, just to be clear.)

YES! That is what I love about the Women’s World Cup - I saw ZERO diving.

This game was SO f*cking fun to watch for the USA too. Also just noticed that the women spend a lot less time doing sh*t like this:

Yes, I agree, women who play professional sports should be fairly compensated. And the disparity between losing in the first round of the men’s FIFA World Cup and winning the women’s FIFA World Cup should not be so stark - particularly for an organization wit h so much money running around. HOWEVER, some of the reason

I’ve had it for a number of years now, it’s been holding up really well. Could stand for me to iron it but that’s not going to happen :) My husband has had one of their vest/jackets for a while too - it has removable sleeves so you can use it as a vest or jacket. The one I have is a trench style; I think they have

I travel a lot, and my go-to is a scottevest raincoat/jacket that has a ton of pockets for phones, iPads, etc. - I keep a scarf, foldable ballet flats, and other travel items in the pockets too. It’s small and lightweight enough that I can roll it into a bag pretty easily once I land, plus it’s got so much room I can

Right? some of these comments are seriously gross.

absolutely fucking not.

You forgot to add “...but don’t worry, Jezebel will judge you if you don’t seem cool enough.”

Huh, this is an interesting article. Because I just now took up skateboarding. I have always wanted to. Life sometimes can get messy and priorities come first. So it took me awhile to get around to this actvitiy. This essay kinda seethes with butt hurt, when there are more important discussion to talk about. Like the

I tend to think, “You’re never too young to try something you might love.” Like a couple years ago I took an adult beginner ballet class, because I never took dance when I was little and thought it would be fun. And it was totally low-key, and for people who wanted to try it and learn something knew but knew they were

I clicked away and then came back because I realized what troubles me most about the tone of this article. I remember being super self-conscious when I was in the first couple of years of high school. Like, thinking people were paying attention to what I was wearing or things I said and judging me. And sometimes they

Congratulations! You’re a narrow-minded human being.

I know a couple of middle aged folks who skateboard. They do it because they love it. Some started early, some started late. I didn’t realise there was an age cap on enjoying yourself or trying something new. If people want to get into it let ‘em. Who cares.

Bee keeping in cities is actually really good for pollination. A city near me actually gives bee hives away for free because it helps the environment.
