As an American, is there any way I can watch it? I’ve never been on the “Doctor Who” bandwagon, but now that’s there’s a lady driver...

Perhaps this has changed since I graduated from Harvard in the early aughts, but fraternities and sororities weren’t a big deal while I was there. There were the finals clubs, but I wasn’t in the crowd that wanted to join one (they were also all-male at the time, so I couldn’t have joined even if I wanted to) or go to…
What is his lapel pin? At first I thought it was the US flag and some yellow and blue flag (Sweden?) but that makes no sense, and now it kind of looks like a horse head.
Seriously, who the fuck cheats on Beyonce? She’s BEYONCE.
Where are you from? I’ve been researching my family tree in a tiny town about an hour outside of Inverness, and my grandfather’s family is just the same four last names marrying each other over and over again for literally two hundred years. I was recently very relieved to discover that Margaret “Smith”, who married…

Can we talk about how I’m afraid of teenage girls, despite being one myself more than 20 years ago? I see them roaming the mall in packs and I’m instantly thrown back into my awkward middle/high school self, and just waiting for one of those scornful girls with long beautiful hair and perfect skin -- again, who are…
Here’s my weird Florida story: I once worked on a research project that was evaluating changes to Florida’s Medicaid system. As part of that project, we conducted focus groups and interviews at an assisted living facility outside of Jacksonville. It was in a renovated old-fashioned motel, and lots of the residents…
Is ordering a medium coffee in a large cup a pain-in-the-ass order? I like about an inch of milk in my coffee, and so I usually ended up pouring out some to make room. A barista actually suggested the medium-in-a-large cup solution to me, and I’ve ordered it that way ever since. If it’s annoying, though, I can stop...
No way this is Trump talking. This has Pence’s clammy fingers all over it:
Those of us who didn’t vote for him also knew what we were getting. What’s his voters’ excuse?
I should try that. We’ve had luck getting him to eat the Trader Joe’s mini tacos by simultaneously reading him the book “Dragons Love Tacos.” Maybe I need a library of food-themed children’s books.
He topped himself this weekend -- we were at his twin cousins’ bris, and he thought it was a birthday party because there was a cake and started singing “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” during the ceremony, then kicked and screamed when I bodily carried him out. I’m sure my MIL blamed my shiksa genes.
I wish I could get my kid to eat chicken nuggets. The closest I’ve gotten is with the type shaped like dinosaurs; he ate one and a half, then shredded the rest with his fork while making “rawr” noises.
Last year we had a solid week in which he demanded toaster waffles with peanut butter for EVERY. DAMN. MEAL. We were on vacation with my in-laws at the time. I just tell myself that everything is a phase that eventually passes.
Yup, I have one where I’m on the cover of Vanity Fair. I’m a STAHHHH!
I don’t feel any guilt for giving my kid yogurt. I feel guilt when I feed him Trader Joe’s meatballs for the third dinner in a row because that’s all he’ll deign to eat lately.
I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever hated a living person more than I hate Donald Trump. My hatred of him eclipses my hatred for my ex-stepmother, which is really saying something.
Whenever we’re driving in NYC and spot a sign referencing Queens, my husband and I yell “Take me to Queens!” a la Eddie Murphy in Coming to America. I have a real fondness for that borough for that reason alone.
Yup, it’ll take about a year. I dropped a steel grate on my big toe last June while changing a water filter and my entire toenail fell off. As of June this year, I just about had a big toenail again.
