If this is made available for real and is safe, I am going to encourage boyfriend umlaut sign up ASAP when it's available. I have dealt with hormonal BC for years and now I have a fucking foreign object in my uterus (Mirena) to prevent mini umlauts running around. He can deal with taking a few years of the birth…

Still mad they gave the Witch to Meryl instead of her in Into the Woods. Why get hamburger when you can have filet?

Everybody's heart belongs to Carol Burnett. Especially if you were a theatre kid.

Let me raise the stakes, here: I don't like creamsicles, either.

The last time I wanted to party with 14-year-olds I was 14 years old.

I had a curfew and rules and was usually too nerdy to party, but when I inevitably fucked up and got too drunk in buttfuck nowhere in my later teens, I called my Sort Of Cool Mom. She was pissed and told me I needed to get my shit together, but gave…

My friends thought my mom was cool but it was more the way she was able to relate to them & not talk down to them (also her awesome taste in music). No way she would have been ok with shit like this. You can be a cool parent without plying your child & their friends with alcohol.

Professional linguist popping in to say that "grammatically correct" isn't a scientific term. It literally means nothing beyond what old-fashioned, aggressive traditionalists prescribe for humanity.

The fundamental tenet of formal linguistic study is that whatever native speakers use in real life is grammatical. So do…

1) Mixing a drug sensor into a complex mixture replete with organic solvents may blunt the sensitivity of the sensor and actually reduce the rate of false positives.

Everything you just wrote speaks to me so hard. I, too, am a short curvy gal and the stuff I like the most does not look good on me, and I also am not too into conservative tailored looks, although they look best on me. Sigh!

Yeah. I'm a hippie girl at heart. I lurve me some long gauzy dresses, prairie prints, braids, boyfriend cut jeans...But I'm 5'2" and while I'm very thin I'm curvy, with a pronounced waist and flared hips and a (if I may say so) a nicely rounded butt. Which means the boyish, hippie looks I love make me look super…

I think a lot of us do that, and these conceited assholes just assume it's a smile.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

My preferred response is eye contact/lips squashed together in what can technically be interpreted as a smile but is really a grimace. It's an acknowledgment that he spoke, but it can't remotely be read as encouragement.

What dudes don't understand is that what is intended as a friendly comment or straightforward compliment can go any which way. You can 1) say nothing (or thank you) and the guy moves along (best case scenario), you can 2) say nothing and the guy gets louder/gets aggressive (not good), you can 3) say thank you and the…

It's offensive because you're not a work of art created to entertain some schlub in the produce aisle; you're a human being.

I think what it is is that by making a statement like that, I no longer feel like a person, I feel like "sexual object #26825 at supermarket store #3736" and it makes me feel like, "how long has he been watching me? has he followed me before?"

If it's any consolation, I've never seen any of the gifs. For going over and beyond your job as a writer, thank you. I appreciate what you've done and what you continue to do.

I will shamelessly admit that I love denim on denim. When it's different washes and shades it's fun! Representing the Canadian tuxedo.

You know what coconut oil is incredible for? Sexual lubricant (assuming you don't use condoms or another latex-based barrier method). Try it once and you'll never go back.

I second this. LUBE.

not one mention of its best use: lube.
