One of my friends’ moms was going on about how Girl Scouts was going “to far” in allowing transgender girls in. I recalled my experiences at GS camp, we learned how to make bird feeders and canoe and sew. There was absolutely nothing sexual or sex ed oriented about it. I ask, why can’t trans girls go learn to make…

Bill Maher is such a horse’s ass. Even when he’s right, he says things in such an assholish way that they sound wrong.

I think that’s the plan.

The regular fruit at the bottom yogurt is fine, but it irks me when people try to use it as a “healthy” substitute for cream in recipes. USE THE GODDAMNED CREAM.

I worked all through high school and I’m really glad I did — I enjoyed it, at the end of the day, and liked having my own spending money too. It enabled me to focus on college, since that required a lot more time and mental energy than high school for me.

My dad and grandfather (different sides) both grew up extremely poor. Neither wanted their kid to deal with what they had to. My dad, however, brought it up a lot and stayed bitter, always reminding me that it could be worse. Ultimately, it was the wrong approach, especially since he spent money on himself a lot. My…

In my Russian classes I’d do this. It was a private school in a foreign country, these were 7 year olds with the latest iPhones and gadgetry. I would give them assignments, like plan a vacation to X place with X amount of money, and the results made me crylaugh during review.

I’d be a lot more open talking to my kid if I made 30k a year than 300k, mainly because kids do not have filters and would talk to pretty much everyone else, and possibly get into a pissing war with other kids. That said, I grew up thinking we were moderately well off until prepubescence, when pieces of the puzzle…

I know it’s not related to vaccination, but this story is definitely related to creepy chiropractors.

I got my tetanus booster last week. My back now looks like something out of a horror movie, although it’s healing. Guess what? Still better than tetanus.

I thought Joe Jonas was with Bella Hadid? You know, the fetus version of Gigi?

I’m an equal opportunity dater when it comes to height, because I think “height requirements” are sexist and offensive, the same way “weight requirements” are on guys’ profiles. What’s putting me at risk for my eyes rolling into the back of my head and getting stuck are average or short girls who want a guy over ‘6.…

Men know *nothing* about sizes or weight. Some guys consider 130 overweight — wtf?! Unless you’re five feet tall or under, that’s a perfectly healthy weight on most women of average height. Then again, for some reason the last beauty aspect we’ve left up to the male gaze is weight, and since the secret that fat girls…

True — it’s that weird murky middle ground of “average” where people can’t seem to put the right numbers. But it’s also kind of important to ask if it’s not listed on sites like Tinder. I went on a date with a guy there who turned out to be like ‘5”3. That’s too short even for me, although I went about the date like…

I don’t know how I forgot that she already has a kid.

I haven’t seen anyone “giddy” about this. Homegirl has some anger and paranoia issues to work through if she’s gonna be somebody’s mother.

I bet I can top this with weirdness — my brother in law’s ex wife decided later in life that she wanted to be with a woman. Guess which woman? His brother’s wife. They got together, moved to Colorado, and the two brothers stuck together even after one married my sister. That whole family sticks together, lives…

Yeah, I’m not into the whole man-protecting-me thing. The shortest guy I’ve dated was 5”5, and I think in the end it bothered him way more than it bothered me. But the one I see now, which will unfortunately be coming to an end soon as does most summer lovin’, sees eye to eye with me but it *feels* like he’s taller if…

Beats me too. Unless you’re a skinny mini, the smaller your feet are, the more cankle-y your legs look. Not to mention if you’re over a size 8, you’re likely to find your size on clearance since they don’t sell as many 9’s-12’s. I think it’s the obsession with tininess that some people have, going hand in hand with…
