I know it’s so hard and painful to do, but I wish more people would talk about their miscarriages and other fertility issues. I was completely shocked when I realized how common it is, and I think it would help a lot with the feelings of failure that so many women have when they have trouble conceiving or carrying.

and it also likely depends on the man. Some men tend to have a lot more pre-ejaculate than others.

I just want to highlight this passage for anyone who skims or just jumps to the comments. Because truer words.

god fucking damn it, the pull-out method. As a public health worker, I just have to cringe.

Here’s a link to Dr. Hern’s clinic for anyone interested in offering support directly to the people who work there, and here’s the National Network of Abortion Funds. The George Tiller Memorial Fund specifically goes to late abortions.

At least we can all agree on this part...

I have chestnut brown hair, and next week, I’m going all platinum, possibly almost silver. I’m terrified and excited! Thanks for the tips!

The hat in the lede photo is magnificent.

My dream job would be making hats for this. Just imagine, it’s like those memes of stuff on bunnies’ and cats’ heads, except with disgustingly rich people who actually pay you (!!!) to pile weird shit on top of their heads.

Shoulder pads! My sister and I would steal them off my mom’s clothes and pretend we had boobs. Also I remember being REALLY EXCITED that when I grew up I too would wear sheer hosiery that came in Pokémon balls... Which we take out of those balls and put over our heads and run around in.

You can move in with people whom you don’t know. Here, it’s common for professional couples and singles to share homes. It costs about 1/4-1/5 the cost of renting the whole place, but you get a nice spot. You just have to find a house that is the right fit for you.

What can’t great tits do, really?

This is what she sent after which is even more amazing:::;

So, I am in love with and engaged to this marvelous guy who loves my little girl and is planning to adopt her after we marry in August. Every night before bed, after her bath, they have a little ritual. He sits in our brown chair and she “sneaks up on” him, and yells “SMASH THE STATE!!!” and he tickles her. It is…

I finally started binging Bob’s Burgers. I suggested Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries here last week — it’s breezy, fun, pretty.

Based on strictly anecdotal evidence, I’ve found that the happiness and success of a marriage is inversely proportionate to the extravagance of their wedding.

Here I was hoping that Ibiza was some like joint with 5 dollar personal pizzas and 2 dollar drafts all night....
