I didn’t know that bones had sexuality. Ha.

My daughter was your daughter in the middle-school years, and I’m thankful every day that smart phones weren’t a thing yet. The worst that ever happened were three-way calls where the mean girl got your crush on the phone and then added you to the call so you could hear him say he didn’t like you like you. I feel for…

I had parents at a parent teacher conference ask me (well the mom did all this talking) about their daughter’s grades. She was doing well. Then the mother asked me about her attitude and I told them I never had problems with her. And that was the truth, she was and is super pleasant to have in class - no attitude and…

I’m the mom of an 8th grade girl. The trailer is an accurate depiction of the CONSTANT posting on snapchat. It drives me insane. I know nobody cares about the popular girls because they’re popular, and they have no problems, and it’s so easy to default to the stereotype of the pretty well-dressed girls on their phone…

My son seems to have hit adolescence at second grade. This is not a drill. He has anxiety that manifests in anger and he feels things very intensely. We’re working with therapists and he recently started medication. Some days, he will really go seriously from “I love you” and hugs to sarcasm and eye rolling to “I hate…

Her character is so sad. She’s a very good actor. And dancer.

That’s a very compelling promotional stunt, and a pretty brilliant way to represent a show that is all about false impressions and misdirection. Speaking of which, I’m so looking forward to season 2. While season 1 wasn’t perfect, it was enough to pull me in. It’s just so much fun to watch.

“I was just there to be there”

I watched Skins on Hulu back in 2011 when it still had a free option. I was pretending to be sober while renting a room in a severely disabled woman’s house in East Nashville. I had a shitty restaurant job, no car, very little money, even fewer friends, and would soon be homeless when my landlord died unexpectedly. I…

Man, Skins was so fucking good.

As a nanny, she would know how to handle a manbaby, that’s true.

Yes. There was a little boy that I taught who I guarantee will be Trans. His mother was doing a wonderful job allowing him choices but she broke down in a conference wondering “when the phase would be over”. Our lead teacher told her she needed to phase out his obsession. I couldn’t override her stupid advice but I…

Up until the early to mid 20th century pink was a boys colour and blue was a girls colour. Pink was seen as a softer variety of the dominant red and light blue as a variety for serene blue. Spanish bull fighters often wear pink for the same reason. Little boys also wore dresses because it made changing diapers or…

I was hoping this would be an article on the popularity of gender parties, which I find to be very odd, obnoxious, and a subconscious backlash to the recent mainstreaming of transgender issues and the recent and ongoing conversation regarding the spectrum of gender overall.

To me, the issue is that it’s not traumatizing to be called a boy or a girl. The issue is when, as a young child, a girl wants to to something and you say, “No that’s for boys” or a boy wants to do something and you go, “That’s a girl thing!”

My wife and I were visiting my family in the former slave and secessionist
 state of “Georgia”. At a playground, our two twin girls are playing, my pregnant wife gets asked by a man “Are you gonna git the next one right?” She says “Get it right? What do you mean?” He says “you know, have a boy, get it right, I bet he…

How do you not have Barkley play Ben Carson?

I just don’t understand why Charles Barkley is hosting SNL in 2018.

This is totally off subject and not Dirt Bag related at all but whatever.

What would it take to never hear about the Kartashians and their friends and their offspring and their boyfriends and their husbands and their makeup and hair people, ever again? For real, a natural disaster? I think a natural disaster, because they’re so shameless that nothing in their ‘personal’ lives could ever be…
