My friend is adopted and I asked her about DNA testing. Her response was basically “I know my birth parents were hardcore Christians from Appalachia, I do not want them to be able to find me!”

As a transwoman who wants to adopt, this makes me so incredibly happy. I’ve always wanted to be a mom (yes, despite the stupid medical condition I was born with) and being able to connect with an infant in this way is so meaningful to me. <3

Really amazed at Aidan’s self-awareness and composure for a 14 year old, considering he nearly died this morning and now his life is under intense media pressure and exposure.

My daughter had Kit and I really like the Depression and WWII era things for Kit and Molly, so in recent years I’ve collected them. (Those were the years of my mother’s chldhood.) Molly was the only historical doll my daughter never got as a gift or a hand me down.

o!o! cumming!

Did anyone see 20/20 on Friday? (Did anyone know it was still around? I did not, but I stumbled upon it by accident.) Anyway, they did the whole show on the NXIVM cult and while it really didn’t tread much turf untrodden by Jezebel and Splinter in the past 6 months, it did give faces to the problem and went a bit…

I’m okay with this.

The exact opposite of hygge, in other words.

I think you´re right, but it also has to do with unequal balance of emotional and household labor. There are many things that fall on women to do and we do it because it has to be done or else everything will go to shit and if we don´t do it, no one will and we know it. And this includes when we don´t feel well or are…

So what you are saying is they Don’t Speak?

I figured Oprah wants to run for president.

We got the notice in the mail today- Big Foot has a court hearing next Wednesday for a probation violation. The way it is worded her PO is going to really going to come full fangs at her. I still think that they are going to put her in juvenile detention until after the first of the year.

I just bought a bunch of work clothes & some winter boots I couldn’t afford yesterday - I’ve just started a new job, in a much-colder state, and my first paycheck hasn’t hit yet. I never judge people for taking advantage of a sale that exists to be taken advantage of. All my considerable ire exists only for the…

I hate shopping and get kind of anxious in crowds, so I probably would think twice about shopping on Black Friday even if everything was 150% off.

My husband observed the other day that we’re basically an oil company that has an army.

Someone on Twitter made a really nice thread about how people shouldn’t be judged for going out on Black Friday especially low income families because they use BF to get things they otherwise couldn’t afford. Myself personally I just can’t turn down a good sale which is why I went out yesterday to get a bunch of…

Happy Halloween!

Alright, I mixed something up - it’s the KETCHUP that has pink glitter in it, the sausages are glitter-free.

So, I’ll never be downloading The Bump app. I downloaded The Knot because I recently got engaged and was suddenly bombarded with all kinds of emails. I bet I could even tell you the day they sold my information, because I got a handful of “thanks for signing up” emails.
