I went to all those hippy classes to and when it came time for my second all that went out the window. My little dude was a flipper, 40 weeks pregnant and he kept flipping, head up, head sideways, head down, head back up. So we had to schedule a c-section because he was sideways, which makes even a breech birth…

Clair Huxtable is forever my aspiration. See also Aunt Viv of Fresh Prince (Janet Hubert, not lukewarm Daphne Reid). These women were bae, mothers, and accomplished. BAMFs both of them.

Of course I'm weighing in. Be warned, I am giving (almost) all the details.

The problem is, by saying you only feel sympathy for their children and not for these women stuck doing something they regretted, you're ensuring that women will continue to feel ashamed for having these feelings and they won't speak about this frankly to people close to them or anyone else, and will keep these…

This is why Joe Biden is my fantasy internet boyfriend. He gets so much shit for gaffes when 99% of the time, he's the smartest and most compelling guy in the room. Of course he would say this. Of course. I love him so much.

Someone's going to do it...

But what about Blanche and Sofia??

I got a PhD so I always get to have my own name. I also get to go first on the invitation. Emily Post says so: http://www.emilypost.com/forms-of-addre… (scroll down to "a woman who outranks her husband")

Oh Lord. You know the sad thing? My sister and I jokingly predicted a show like this about 30 years ago. We were one of the few black kids in our school for a time, and the teachers and kids interacted with us like we were both Tootie from the Facts of Life. Only we weren't. They were honestly disappointed that we…

Every pair of skinny jeans I own is far more comfortable and flattering than the super-low-rise flares that showed off my ass-crack all through high school. Flares only look flattering on tall, thin women, and even then they have to be juuust the right length or they either bunch up at the bottom or hover too high…

It took me far too long to embrace skinny jeans, since I thought only skinny people could pull them off. But no, every woman can. They can pry my skinny jeans from my cold, dead hands. I'm assuming that since I turned 30 while they were in style, they're the new "mom jeans," meaning I can wear them for the rest of my…

sorry not sorry! I'm plus size but have great legs. Skinny jeans look great on me and everyone gets to see all my boots.

Wow, let's just start the onslaught of "WHY DO PEOPLE JOIN SORORITIES UGH SLUTS AND RICH WHITE GIRLS" and get it over with. Because I'm getting pretty fucking sick of feeling like I have to defend Greek Life on every related post on Jezebel.

Well, not all black folks are the same, have the same backgrounds or experiences, etc. That said, hell no, this black woman doesn't want to fool with anyone who doesn't want her. Don't see the appeal. At all.

I've met some of my best friends and mentors via Twitter. Ah, using technology work FOR you, who would have thought?! ;)

I posted a comment on this above, but just consider that even if daycare would eat up your entire salary, there are long-term benefits to staying in the workforce. Think of it as an investment. For social security and IRAs, the longer you pay into the system, the more security you will have when you are old. Not to…

For people who are considering quitting their jobs because the cost of daycare eats up almost their entire salaries: think deeper. Maybe staying home is the right choice for you because you would find it fulfilling. But if you are only staying home because of the daycare-to-salary ratio, consider long-term investments…

I used to fly enough to probably have elevated cancer risk, so I'm like, an expert and stuff. Also, a lot of this is going to come out really cranky because I'm sick and hate everything right now.
