Yeah, the “Dear Moms, celebrate Mother’s Day by working even harder at being a mom” takes are pretty gross.  Mother’s Day is not for children.  Mother’s Day is for moms.  Most moms could use a break, and that’s what they should get if they want it. (Personally, there are far too many birthdays in my family around…

I say this to you as a mother, who adores her daughter: barf.

I have to say, one of the best things my parents ever did for me was to have their own lives and be themselves while I was growing up. I know so many people, some of them parents themselves, who think if their parents as generic Mom and Dad figures. And the ones who are parents who feel this way seem to go out of…

It’s horrible. It’s like they’ve found a new way to separate twins at birth.

I will say, it makes me feel absolutely exhilarated when someone tells me to smile, and I have the presence of mind and feel safe enough to say “Go fuck yourself!”

I was a small child when that song came out, and I hated it with a passion. As a small child especially, my feelings were the only things that were really mine, and this asshole is trying to tel me what to do with them? Fuck off.

Listen to “Good Thing” by Fine Young Cannibals, preferably while drinking cold gin-based cocktails in a wading pool.

I know Jez has been looking for a way to kill the prairie dress trend, and I think you have an opportunity here.

Thank you! This is exactly what I need!

I just want to note that the supposed “granny panties” in the linked article are all hiked up such that butt cheeks are coming out the bottom of them, making them look rather less comfortable than a thong.

Yeah, the straps would become like a lens that distorts and displays blisters and scabs caused by the straps themselves.

Hate makes you age rapidly but live forever.

Ants on a pond has the benefit of not having any celery. But I could make do with ants on toast points.

Soup is the only good use of celery. It is very taste when it has sucked up a bunch of beef or chicken broth.

Yes, please! I have been desperate to model my clothing after Rachel Weisz’s hunting outfit in The Favourite, and I am absolutely here for this guy.

This is very good advice, and it is how I am decorating my home, which really has made me come to appreciate the place.  For a long time, I thought I shouldn’t decorate until I had a nicer place, or managed to keep my place neater, but decorating the way I want makes me want to keep my place neater, and I am so glad I…

Even the most famous true crime podcast, Serial, wasn’t enough after the first episode to grab me. The worst 48 Hours Mystery on CBS is more intriguing than the first episode of Serial was.
