Preach!

40 years ago, my mom kept her last name when she married my dad. She gave her daughters her last name, her son my dad’s. It was never really a problem for anybody, even in the fairy conservative South. Not having the same last name as everyone in my family has never, ever, been a big deal. It does sometimes confuse…

Thank you for this piece, Jia. I’ve long been bothered by how many women choose to take their husband’s last names as well. Yes, I also subscribe to the Church of You Do You and try not to judge but when a) the tradition of taking his name is based on a history of the bride technically becoming a man’s legal property,…

We got married last year and my husband took my last name. It’s so freaking awesome. We can weed out a lot of closeted bigots by their reaction, and gain quick friends who think it is awesome too. Such a simple act that speaks volumes about what we value.

Ugh, Gizmodo commenters. This’ll be fun.

Kourtney is my husband’s favorite Kardashian.

yep, the amount of time this is stretching out, the fact that it is expanding, and that it is over such a large area... things do not look good. I was eating there weekly, now not at all. How long will it take to recover from this? Can they recover from this... “estimated sales to have dropped 8 to 11 percent in the…

Damn it Coco, I don’t even look that good when I haven’t just given birth.

There very well be mental illness at play here. But mental illness doesn’t equal violence. Plus, as Obama noted a few years ago, the US doesn’t have a monopoly on mental illness. We sadly aren’t even the only country with widespread white male privilege and national political figures who spew out hateful rhetoric that…

New phone who dis.

This is the best written show i have seen in years. There are level of meanings buried deep into it that i am still discovering. And the fact the center “love story” of the show is not Jessica and Luke. but Jessica and Trish is beyond awesome.

She’s stuck with a loser husband who she can’t leave because the cult around her won’t let her - I’d like to give her a ride to women’s shelter 1,000 miles away from this craziness.

Honestly... she’s got 4 small children she’s taking care of on her own, my guess is she needs the money. Which really makes me sad.

Pretty sure just blocking them achieves the same thing. I use the block feature very generously on Facebook.

Right? How many times do they have to suggest I friend my Shitty Ex’s new girlfriend? I’m sure she's a lovely human, FB, but I just don't fucking think so.

Grandma, what's a "CD"?
