That’s what happens when you wear really high heels a lot.

Same! It’s too damn hot in LA to wear anything but sandals or flip flops and I really don’t give a fuck if people think my feet are “nasty.” All I want is to make sure I don’t melt into the pavement, I really don’t give a fuck if people don’t like it. 

Marital “we.” That said, when my husband and I were talking about him getting a vasectomy, I was very clear that it was his choice as it was his body and after having cancer I could completely understand if he didn’t want to undergo yet another medical procedure. However, he did want my opinion because I’m his wife

My husband and I are childless and he (finally) had a vasectomy at 37. The doctor didn’t give him any problems, but we were also living in LA at the time and his doctor was this total ex-frat guy who was all about those vasectomies - he even had a group of like 6 dudes who were all friends scheduled the day after my

My husband had a vasectomy once it was clear we were definitely on the NO BABIES EVER train. We both wish he had done it sooner. It’s awesome. 

I don’t know why anyone would bother with journalism school these days. You get out of school to be doomed to a life as a freelancer dealing with publications (like Bust) with “tight budgets” and then have to chase people for payment? Yeah, no thanks. 

I’m almost 40 and I remember the same thing. 

I used to hope I got sick, too. I also used to pray that I would wake up thin and blonde or not wake up at all. I was 9. 

I’ll happily let people think I’m a monster. I like aisle seats and I often pay extra for them. I’m not switching for anything that isn’t another aisle seat.

We get our Maine Coon kitty shaved all the time because he HATES to be brushed. I’ve tried everything and he just devolves into a hissing spitting mass of fur whenever the brush comes near him. I can’t let him walk around with mats so to the groomer he goes (where he is SO NICE to the people there. Jerk cat.) We leave

Same thing happened when I got together with my husband. I’d say something and then have to explain that it really was fine with me. He eventually got it, but good lord, getting there was a battle.

It’s really not up to any of us to tell another person how to feel/react after having an abortion. Every person’s experience is different.

100% on the going down in a most spectacular fashion. In my experience I’ve never seen a super intense “WE ARE SO IN LOVE AND MADE FOR EACH OTHER....YES WE KNOW WE’VE ONLY KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR A MONTH, IT’S STILL TRUE WUV!” relationship not end badly.

I know all the words to the Nicki Minaj part of that song, too. It doesn’t mean I’d deliver a good LYFTC performance if everything else doesn’t match up. Her having “youthful energy” or whatever doesn’t make up for her (and others, don’t get it twisted) not doing a song justice. Look at Sasha or Peppermint from the

Aquaria’s win isn’t a surprise. Her insane “WE ARE AT 100 WITH NO THOUGHT TO THE SONG WE ARE PERFORMING!!!” energy through “If” was too much. And the final lip sync was a mess for everyone.

Not surprised by the winner but I’m walking away feeling decidedly “meh” about the whole thing.

It’s not that surprising. These conservative women are still out there trying to have careers and delaying having kids. I’m sure to the pool of conservative men involved in this administration, that makes them extremely undesirable partners - they want women who aren’t career minded and who are ready to settle down

Good. If calling our senators does nothing (as in, this assholes are still fucking employed) and our votes don’t matter (see: popular vote vs electoral college) then the LEAST we can do it make every single one of these assholes uncomfortable for the rest of their miserable, hate-filled lives. 

My uncle is in his 70s and he still has a head full of gorgeous curls.

That’s why I just shrug when I see those “Millennials aren’t having kids!!!” articles. I’m two years too old to be considered a millennial, but everything described above combined with my student loan debt, the insane cost of childcare, the destruction of the public school system, and the nonstop gun violence are the
