The emergency cake turned out to be chocolate, so no one complained. And she did a nice job of decorating it in the short time she had. She even stole the store’s display model bride and groom off the display cake in the window.

My late husband and his best man were in charge of transporting the liquor and the wedding cake to the hall before heading off to the church. They very carefully filled the trunk of the borrowed Lincoln with all the booze, then gingerly set the cake on top.

Poverty-stricken friends had a brownie potluck instead of a wedding cake. This was a decision no one argued with.

somewhere in the corner of the internet where they celebrate white history month, i imagine

Two words: passed desserts. As in, appetizer size portions of amazing desserts passed out by staff after a huge meal. It was genius, and there was zero cake bullshit.

Less cake-related but rather young-family-member-meltdown-related ... My littlest cousin lives overseas and we’ve only met a couple of times - but we wanted to include him in our wedding ceremony when he was about 6 so we made him a ring bearer. By all accounts he was super excited until he got to the rehearsal and rea…

I wanted a 3 tier square shape, small and simple. My ex husbands mother claimed to be the cake boss of the rural south and “could whip that up easy peasy.” She kept me up to date on cake progress and everything she was super stoked, and I bought the hype. Come the day of our wedding (April fools day actually) we get…

I was pro-choice before I got pregnant, but pregnancy really cemented my belief that access to free and safe abortions is one of the most important issues today. NO ONE should have to go through a pregnancy if they don’t want to. People who say “put the baby up for adoption if you don’t want it” can go fuck…

I got pregnant at 20 and am pro-choice. I chose to have the baby. Reaction from others: But, but, I thought you guys believed in abortion, right? CHOICE motherfuckers. What part of that word do you not understand, other than trying to take it away from us?

My resident FB right winger said I should be happy my mother chose life. He didn’t understand that I was a planned Clomid-induced baby.

And don’t forget: it’s only molestation if you perform the action and you’re over 16. Not when you’re 15.

hahahha Stephanie March. Props. That is hilarious.

I’m the same age as Elizabeth and her story, since she was missing to when she was found and beyond, has always stayed with me. Primarily how she schooled Nancy Grace during an interview, and how she talked about how her school and church’s teachings of purity negatively impacted her after she returned home.…

Yes. Asshat flavored.

Hard to be politically correct and courteous when you can die any day of the week.

What’s truly hilarious is that he was their 2nd choice after the guy the GOP tried to give the job to after Gingrich resigned when it came out that he was having affairs all of DC, also had to decline the job because he too was having an affair and they couldn’t really impeach a guy for fucking around on his wife when…

Anybody else remember how outspoken this shitbag was about insisting Bill Clinton get impeached for his sexual misconduct? Anybody also remember how homophobic Speaker Hastert was? Anybody further remember how he was a staunch member of the Christian Coalition that crammed “family values” down our throats? Good times.…

Hastert was (is?) a real conservative but he wasn’t the kind of angry, hostile, mean-spirited conservative that sponsors persecuting legislation and crows about how proud he is to be resisting the modern world (Republicans who fit this description, you know who you are). So my first instinct was just to feel kind of…

Business is a-boomin’ in the field of conservative hypocrisy. These guys don’t just have skeleton’s in their closets, they have entire elephant graveyards.

OMG I am loving your new name.
