This. I really expected something to drop on him after he was stealth-fired from Disney, but so far nothing.  

I am so sorry you went through that. It is unfair and heartbreaking. No one should have to experience that ever.

I love them too! I hated the Sesame Street characters, but looked past it because they are just diapers. But the new design makes me feel slightly less like I am part of the commodification machine.

I know people love to hate her here, but I have generally found her to be more good than bad, so our perspectives differ.

Vagina eggs aside, anyone struggling postpartum should read the book she has recommended, “The Postnatal Depletion Cure.” The information in it has been invaluable in helping me turn my health around postpartum. I do appreciate that she brings attention to issues like this, that the mainstream medical community tends…

This is my life. Every. Fucking. Time. we get in the car, the toddler barfs. She is not even 2 yet and we have been debating turning her around for a couple of months because the puking is so bad. Nothing helps. Not letting her eat (which only works on the way to go somewhere... I can’t starve the kid for hours), seaba…

We do say that about adults though, particularly in a physical context. “She looks good for her age.” “He is in great shape for his age.” “I can’t believe she can run a time like that at her age.” We also do it for mental/emotional/intellectual development.  “At his age, he should know better.”

My 18 month old is getting there.  She knows that the button does it and works furiously on trying to get it to “pop.”  Luckily she is not strong enough yet, but with all her climbing and and other antics her grip strength is rapidly increasing.  

And about how boys need to be raised to view girls as their peers, friends, and equals from day one. We should not accept the “boys will be boys” mentality, the “boys only” clubs, the “girls can’t play with us,” “girls’ toys,” “girls’ colors,” or “throwing like a girl.” All of the slight digs at girls and women, and…

Yes. I used to love J. Crew. My items from 12 years ago look better that stuff from last year. Their t-shirts are still overpriced at $15 because they get a hole after one wash. Also, they still are clinging to that weird, boxy, over-styled aesthetic that is actually very un-J.Crew. Just give me nice, classic dresses,…

I love Old Navy and Gap for kids clothes.  With their coupon codes they are pretty inexpensive, but so cute!  I love that the girl’s clothes are cute, but not all hot-pink-glitter-bomb-explosion with sayings like “sassy but sweet.”  They are just normal clothes for small people.  

There may be situations where a teen might not feel safe to say “fuck off.”  As a woman, I can imagine many scenarios a teenage girl might find herself in where she is not sure of how “fuck off” will play out and could result in serious harm to her.  Things are not always black and white.  Yes, you want to raise a…

I know someone who is in her mid-20s who just graduated with a professional degree. She had asked me to help her find I job. The first thing I did was google her (like any prospective employer would). The amount of thirst I found on instagram was disturbing to say the least. Yes, in a perfect world you should be able…

And, even if all the toilets were inoperative, it still makes no sense to take the LONGER route and fly back to NYC. If that were the case, it makes even more sense to continue on if it was shorter (in addition to not messing up the travel plans of a plane full of people). So stupid.

My first inclination is to believe someone who says they were abused. But when the person says they have evidence of the abuse and refuses to produce that, that actually makes me question the veracity of the allegations. She also does not have to publicly release the tape. She could produce it to the investigating…

Also, let’s not forget The College Years.  Also bad.  

Luckily no one asks you how you think it “looks.”  We are too busy living our lives a feeding our kids. 

Lol, you can kindly fuck off. Most primates wean between the ages of 5-8. Human milk is designed for human children. It adapts with them nutritionally as they age. Instead of giving kids the milk that is biological designed for them, we are pushed to give them milk that is designed for other mammals’ babies. We are…

Yeah either the information available is super sketchy, or this post is very poorly written.  Nothing about this makes any sense.  Did anyone call first responders?  It would seem like the obvious follow-up or contemporaneous action to administering the medication.  

It is interesting that many of these topics seem to be “women’s” issues or “women-adjacent.”  I think this reflects that fact that women are so neglected in the medical community.  Almost all research is done on men, because women are “too complicated.”  So we try to take our health into our own hands, desperate for…
