Same...in fact, the other day after I read on Jezebel that Holly Madison is releasing a memoir, I pretty much immediately checked if it was on Netflix so that I could binge watch it. I’m a teacher on summer so this is my only chance to really throw myself into binge-watching mindless TV!

I am very much one of those young women who frequent the middle/high end office-wear stores (Loft, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, etc) and I never shop at J. Crew. Ann Taylor and Loft have constant sales and in my experience their clothes fit wonderful and last forever. J. Crew is PRICEY. Basic t-shirts there get up to…

OW. NOOO.

I understand registries, they were created to help the new couple set up a home and start their lives. As many other commenters have pointed out, it is rather outdated now seeing as people get married later in life, often after having lived with a roommate/alone for a few years. But tradition is tradition, and if I go…

I think its tacky. Its one thing to ask for expensive houseware, but I just don’t understand the 800 dollars bikes, walkie talkies, and camping equipment. It doesn’t really look like a registry as much as it looks like someone’s Amazon wishlist. Maybe that has become the point of registries, but I don’t like that.

I was waiting for a critique of this Burkett article on Jezebel. I don’t have much to add, however, when I read that Chelsea Manning quote, I cringed inside. That is an extremely essentialist and ridiculous thing to say about womanhood.

Oh fuck, what is wrong with chai? I order chai tea all the time :-/

I am a day late, but I had to chime in! You are correct that nowadays “red velvet” is really just chocolate cake with red food coloring, but originally it was a unique, rich, and REALLY delicious cake. My mom is from Alabama and I believed it was a popular recipe in the south for a while. She made it following her…

My parents (heterosexual) were also very egalitarian and most of all, utilitarian, when it came to chores. Whoever did it better and faster was the one who completed the chore. My dad, for some reason, loved doing laundry, so that was his domain. He loved washing dishes, so every night he would head straight to the…

This is a weird comment. The point of a public library is to provide books to the public. I am surprised at your surprise.

Agreed, all memoirs are not going to be entirely accurate. I recently finished reading a memoir by Rick Bragg about growing up in rural northeastern Alabama, called All Over But the Shoutin’, and while it was a great book, my grandad, who grew up and has all his roots in the exact same area, said a lot of the little…

I hated Logan, and I thought it was really odd as to how she fell for him so hard. I love Gilmore Girls so much but Rory gets super annoying in the last couple seasons.

You are correct Vulpita, Doandroidsdreamofelectricsheep misunderstood the joke. Also what even is “hipster racism?”

Same...I live in Miami and I’ve always said that the only thing I need to survive is my sweet, cold, soothing A/C unit.

I’m getting really tired of hearing the Duggars say “they were sleeping” when Josh molested them, as if that makes it better. IT DOESN’T. IT IS STILL HEINOUS AND WRONG AND ABUSIVE. UGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Oh man, one of my facebook friends from high school posted a link to the Blaze article. He literally wrote “this is not the hateful article you may think it is” and the headline was “Bruce Jenner is not a woman. He is a sick, delusional man.” Spoiler alert it totally was the hateful article I expected it to be.

Different personalities. Personally, I get really uncomfortable when people sing in public. I teach high school and I have a 9th grader who is a very talented singer, but when she starts singing in class I start feeling second-hand embarrassment (even though she is talented!) I think some people may just be sensitive…

This is the type of thing that would make me want to shrivel up and die if I were there.

sharkopalypse I have been right there with ya! Reading your comment hit SO close to home.

These comments are making me feel better. I broke up with a boyfriend one year ago and there are still days where I think about him. I’m dating someone awesome now, but a part of me lately has been worried that I’ll never get over the last one. But I really don’t have jealousy or anything, and I don’t particularly…
