Yes. Mother of two, had the first one in my mid-thirties (never got the “When are you having kids?” question, EVER, possibly because it risked coming out as “Oh god, please tell us you are too old to have kids as you are SO CLEARLY UNSUITABLE”. but whatwver, maybe not wrong. ANYWAY) children benefit from the largest…

Losing an animal is hard. I’ve gone through it quite often in my life. I’d like to say it gets easier, but it really doesn’t.

Hi. It’s Erie, not Eerie. Born & raised there. Could you fix that?

Nope.

Oh, look! A raft of boilerplate jokes about how no one watches the WNBA.

It is! Too many, most likely!

I’m mad this administration has enabled me to spell the word dilettante without looking it up.

I have the same experience as a woman in video...no contact after questioning the salary.

What you don’t understand is that us women and our identity politics are repelling the white low income guys.

Sesame Street came out well before the Muppet Show, and the Jim Henson things on Sesame Street were all called Muppets back in the late 60s and early 70s. For that matter, Jim Henson’s things were called Muppets when they showed up on Jack Paar or Ed Sullivan or whatever the hell black and white TV shows they used to…

I wouldn’t because if you hadn’t brought it up until now, why leave “I secretly hated the way you’d drone on about that robot game” in the final words you leave to your beloved spouse?

I am. I am a longtime reader and subscriber of a variety of media, actually the third generation to do so. It’s like the Buzzfeed generation just discovered real journalism, and think that hey, maybe there just might be an alternative to ad-supported internet content. THAT’S why it irks me — YMMV.

Honestly, I think just listening and being aware of stuff is the best thing you can do. I had a really open conversation with my friend who has struggled with infertility about what she needed most from our talks. Did she want me to just listen? To ask questions so she could talk through the details? Or to change the…

Lake effect snow!
