I heard sexy Indian costumes are only allowed if you’re descended from a Cherokee princess

Just thinking about fighting so much stupid makes me tired

I just had to explain to my boyfriend’s co-workers why dressing up as an “Indian” or “Indian Princess” for their costume party was not going to be okay. I thought that conversation was over in the liberal well-educated demographic, but I guess not.

Someday they’ll prove a sea lion ate that woman’s baby.

Whew! I was really worried I’d make it all the way through today without someone telling me what I should/shouldn’t be wearing. I was starting to think the judgement police had a holiday!

Yeah, I have a job where I can wear whatever I want and I find “athleisure” clothes to be very comfortable. Is someone supposed to be judging/policing my clothing choices because some rich people are wearing [significantly more expensive versions of] the same style?

WOW. That sounds really different from my office, where a coworker asked us to not call it “Daddy Daycare” when his wife was out of town. “It makes it sound like I’m taking on some additional responsibility when I’m actually just parenting. Nobody calls it ‘Mommy Daycare’ when she’s got the kids because we assume the…

When I was a wee one, every time my mom left on a work trip someone managed to gasp and ask “but who will take care of the kids?” My mom used to laugh and say “Oh, I hadn’t really thought about it. I don’t know, maybe... My husband? You know, their father? The other adult who lives in my house and does half the…

The third time in as many months my kitchen sink fell out and that time it broke the pipe and flooded our kitchen and it was 11PM on a Tuesday, I ended up sitting soaking wet on the floor crying about how I wanted a fairy landlord to come and fix this shit for me. Also, the second time my basement flooded and water…

My house has gained a ridiculous amount of value in the three years since we bought it. My parents and I were just joking about how they should have loaned us the money for the down payment, since my house is doing way better than some of their investments. (the reality is they could never afford to loan me a…

Years ago, I was working in a Kindergarten classroom and had my hair down one day. Given my height/hair length, the bottom of my hair is about the same height as a 5 year-old’s head. One of the teachers said “Oh, you’re so brave! I would never expose myself to head lice like that.” I have never whipped up a bun so…

I found The Gift of Fear to be a really useful book, but Protecting The Gift is an awful title. It sounds like those weird dads that give their daughter virginity rings or something creepy like that.

I also found that book useful.

It sounds like you’re doing parenting right.

The key here isn’t that everything *feels* like it has a thin layer of congealed grease, it actually *does* have a thin (or thick) layer of grease. That’s how you can distinguish the Authentic Experience of a Waffle House when compared to a wanna-be like Denny’s.

I save “You’re *still* here?” for the moment after he says “hey”.

If you’re someone like me with absolutely no taste and no shits to give about it, yes, you need to pay someone to do it for you.

Exactly this, which is why the content of my running playlist is a closely guarded secret.

Hey, you don’t have to eat cake alone. I’m on your side and I love cake.

I just want to see the response of Rogan’s lady friends when he goes on to explain to them how they get paid less and have to pay more. I NEVER NOTICED THAT DUDE THANKS FOR POINTING IT OUT
