Oh, I know. I don’t even disagree with you. My ID and credit cards are replaceable and certainly not more important than somebody’s life. My purse can stay on the plane, it’s fine. But when somebody says, “Na, the truly critical things are kept in your pockets,” the women who read it are going to laugh because the

Women’s clothing often doesn’t have pockets. When there are pockets, they are often small enough to not really be functional.

Fun for the whole family!

I didn’t find that costume scary, but . . . now I do. Thanks?

One year I was Miss Piggy and my little brother was Kermit the Frog. It was the only year we had store-bought costumes, and the masks were TERRIBLE.

She has written several that involve mediums and even spirit photographs; I’m terrible at remembering the names of books, so I’m sure there are some I’m forgetting.

I’ve actually seen several different suggestions—mostly on my Facebook newsfeed since though I am child-free, most of my friends are moms—for things that can be handed out. Some are candy that are free of tree nuts, so you’d still have to confirm that the kid isn’t allergic to something else. Others are things like

Any other fans of Amanda Quick’s novels involving Victorian spiritualism? I think I’m going to reread one this weekend; this post has put me in the mood!

Right? I know they don’t run their own errands—it would be irresponsible to drag the Secret Service around Lowe’s just to pick up some spray paint—but I still love it. Here’s how version of the story continues: he says, “Sure Baby, let me grab my keys.” And then they wander around Lowe’s holding hands, getting

And even though I know that it was probably some aide who made sure that there would be teal pumpkins to signal to kids with allergies that there would be allergen-free candy, I still love that they’re there. I’m going to pretend that Michelle saw something about it on her Facebook newsfeed and called out, “Honey, we

Side-eyed scales of justice! It’s perfection, and yet, I’ve never noticed it until now. Well, I guess it makes sense, since shade is supposed to be subtle. I was just too dense to lean towards my friend and whisper, “Did she just?” and for her to whisper back, “SHE DID.”

Thanks for the advice. I’m not very interested in film, but I am very interested in history.

Do you recommend watching the movie? I’m torn between “it’s awful but important, so I should watch it” and “it’s awful but not all that important actually, so I shouldn’t watch it.”

... only Jane Eyre was written by Charlotte Bronte. Better luck next time!

Wow. I will never understand why people seem to love drama so much.

Did Jared run for the hills or did they go through with the wedding?

Poetry! Sheer poetry!

Maybe it’s the medium that makes it feel performative and insincere? I tend to roll my eyes at social media declarations of love (and I think the longer they are, the worse they are), and yet, I’m a sucker for love. I cry at weddings! I’ll sit and listen to the whole How We Met story! I’m not a cynical or nasty
