Lies! Allison has the week off. But I’m sure she’s eating them on her own time.

Back in March, when the shit was really starting to hit the fan and some people were grasping the fact that this was bad, and real, we had this silvery three week period where even the hard core complainers, the ones who make an entire career out of never being happy with anyone or anything, didn’t dare raise a stink.…

I wish this type of writing included things like, I’ve been eating ma po tofu so often that I had two Amazon Fresh deliveries this week instead of just one. Of course, no matter what I order, I always tip at least 25%. -or- Along with my bread baking on Sunday, I also made my weekly donation to the local food bank.

The pandemic has brought the class differences that have been growing for decades into sharp relief. The media, social and traditional, makes it more obvious by putting those differences in our faces 24/7. Those are the “Well, duh!” points. The question we’re not asking as a society is where do we go from here? The…

Lately I’ve had a few zoom calls with family (who are geographically very spread out), that have made me realize how different our experiences have been. Most of my family work from home, but I am an “essential worker” as a therapist at an inpatient rehab. I go to work every day, wear a mask, and deal with the other…

Aimee, is it true you had to write this review because Allison is passed out in a puddle of drool in after over eating Spicy McNuggetts?

But within hours, Mishler had lost at least a thousand followers and was the recipient of vitriol towards both her and AOC.

I love yoga with Adriene! It’s terrible that she was criticized for expressing her political views - like she herself said, she doesn’t exactly keep them secret, I feel like if you regularly follow her yoga classes on youtube you should already know how she leans politically.

I like Jameela, not a fan of Kim, but pregnancy compression wear is definitely a thing and it’s not about hiding your pregnancy. I only found out about it toward the end of mine, when it was too late to do much about my swollen...everything...and was frustrated no one on my medical team had mentioned it until I…

Yes, the pregnant body CAN carry the bump, but maternity clothes are designed with those elastic supportive panels because they are comfortable. I didn’t think this was “shapewear” I figured it was for comfort.
Kim had two miserable pregnancies and Chrissy is on her third. They do know what they’re talking about. I’m…

Jesus fucking christ, it looks like it was made by a 12-year-old wearing glasses four prescriptions old. There are *so many* basic mistakes here, the kind of thing you learn the very first time you attempt your very first sampler. It’s a very sweet idea, and I’m sure she spent a fair amount of time on it (even bad…

Yes and no. I definitely don’t think this “shapewear” is being presented in good faith, that it’s purely fore comfort, but loads of people need a little extra support, especially if you have circulation or back problems going into pregnancy. A lot of products like this do specify you should only wear for a certain…

Agreed. I’ve had two kids and I loved wearing things that were like this. It felt good. I don’t know why, I’m not scentist. I wasn’t trying to compress anything or not look pregnant, it just felt nice to have some additional support. I was hugely pregnant in the summer and having something to prevent thigh rub was…

OK, look, there’s very few things that get me upset, but that hand stitching is AWFUL. Look at those seams. An invisible stitch isn’t hard, I learned it as a child. And did she even use an embroidery hoop? look at all that puckering!

I was going to have a gin and tonic anyway, and now I will definitely drink it in honor of your amazing grandma. She sounds like she was such a vivacious life-force; you are so lucky to have had her. Thank you for sharing! 

Long post alert!

Also, mathematically seriously impressive and elegant.

This work is incredibly useful for any industry where substances are mixed together. When you are dealing with industrial sized batches, knowing how long it will take to make a truly homogeneous mixture is important. It takes out the guesswork and increases efficiency.

YES. I wonder how often this person’s father asked them to act in such a codependent and inappropriate manner? How often did this person’s mom do the same to her kid? Fuck parents who sit and “vent” about their own relationship problems to the children they both chose to make.

You were not responsible for your parent’s marriage. You were not responsible for your dad’s affair. You were not appointed, nor expected to be, your parent’s marriage counselor. You are their CHILD, not an unbiased professional. You are not responsible for your father failing to reach to your mother because that was…
