I’ve always worked with people who prepared for months to divvy up any work that needed to get done, willfully because we were all worried about our friend who was pushing a human out of their body.

3 months? I think most of my friends were lucky to get 3 weeks.

I’ve never worked in a job that offered maternity leave and I don’t know of any professional friends who have worked for companies with leave either. It’s always done through combining FMLA with vacation time and showing up for half-days after a few weeks. Once a manager told me I should come to work sick so I could…

Not everyone has the privilege to spend time doing unpaid labor or spend money on education while also being a primary caregiver. Plenty of women are stuck in situations where they have to stay home with their child because our country doesn’t care about families. This is all about finding ways to make the experience…

I’m curious as to how you would answer an interview question like “Tell me about a time you had to make a decision that wasn’t popular and how you handled it” while using your SAHM experience.

I mean the assumed children’s show ends with the world ending! The anti-drug episode is actually an anti-anti-drug episode, complete with PSA telling kids to stop doing drugs so they can stop making PSAs. I loved it when I was a kid and loved rewatching in college to see all the jokes I’d missed.

So what will we do with the refugees? Ban them?

You have really strong opinions about this. Certainly the way we interpret content or feel after reading can change depending on where we’re reading or the medium we’re reading. A favorite summer involved lounging by a quarry while reading a ghost story about a town sunk in a quarry, another summer I read novel about…

There has been some research to show that people have better comprehension and recall when they read something on paper instead of on the screen.

We like to call it the belt buckle of the South.

Great that even a nice story about Kentucky can fill a comments section with ignorant remarks.

I grew up in a small town in Kentucky, so small that the town name wasn’t even in our mailing address because we had no post office. We used the name of the next closest town on our address. We had no mayor, we got some services from the county and most from the “city”—where we couldn’t vote for representation. When I…

It seems like no one has seen this episode, so just to clear it up this dude coerces Dunham’s character into laying on the bed, not for sexual reasons, but because he wants to cry with her or something, then she reaches down and realizes he’s pulled his dick out and laid it on her leg. So the still shot is of her…

I will be mad if Cersei’s likely death at the hand of her twin is done to give some kind of emotional or motivational development to his character instead of her character. I’m really interested in the way her decisions have made the prophecy about her life come true and I want to see a satisfying end to get reign…

If Jamie isn’t the one to take out Cersei I’ll eat my hat.

I used to play rock music and earplugs never made me completely deaf.

If only there were some technology that you could put in or on your ears to muffle loud sounds, but I guess even though we can put a man on the moon we haven’t figured ear muffling technology out yet.

I’ve always found the lack of women behind the scenes reflects how women are treated or the existence of women on the screen. Sometimes when I wonder how a show I generally love can fuck a scene or character up so bad, I look up the writing and directing team and find my answer. When it comes to Who I’m mad both by…

I’m with Jerry, I hate feeling obligated to hug people. People who call themselves “huggers” are my nightmare. Please don’t touch. Please don’t run up to me asking for hugs. Please stop harassing me Free Hugs guy. I don’t want to be touched!

Are men a protected class?
