I went through a couple before I got to my perfect solution, which was a Micralite Fastfold: air tires, 15 pounds even, unbelievably smooth ride, super easy to fold and store, even easier to bump up and down steps.. I took it with me to Jerusalem and Istanbul, and it was AMAZING. I ended up accidentally on a walk that…

My biggest maternity clothes gripe is that apparently all the jeans are “skinny jeans”. Excuse me I am a majestic steam ship chugging through life right now, the word “skinny” should be nowhere near me. I am even past ordering skinny fries, I need chunky ones. By all means have skinny jeans style trousers, but why is…

With the carseat specifically, there is Official Information that it’s not safe to keep using a carseat that’s been in a collision because it might have a weakness from the collision that’s not immediately apparent. So only take a second-hand carseat if you can trust the person giving it to you wouldn’t lie about…

I’m in general agreement with you, but I will say, I think the $500 stroller at least began as an urban thing for utilitarian reasons. They’ve become suburban status symbols now, but I think there’s absolutely a reason to get a $500 stroller for many urban parents.

Congrats on little one! I can relate so much to the overwhelming experience of, as a first time parent, going into a place like Buy Buy Baby or Babies ‘R’ Us (RIP). It’s insanely intimidating, and it’s meant to be—you’re supposed walk out of there thinking, “Oh man — I need ALL this stuff! At retail price because my…

And no birth control. I think we’re overlooking the massive demographic shift of the last several decades. Women have been able to limit the size of their families with less extreme measures than they did 100 years ago. When I was growing up in a middle class suburb in the 90s, a family with three kids seemed large.…

I really think this is why Jameela Jamil is so spot on with her “double agents of the patriarchy” description of the Kardashian/Jenner clan. Even at Kim’s absolute best- i.e. working to free AMJ, there’s the pernicious double action of getting her to shill for her brand- which, however empowering an individual finds…

Kardashian’s hand in Johnson’s release is great. This ad still came across as a very cynical use of activism/empowerment politics for what is ultimately a brand that helps put money in Kim Kardashian’s pocket.

Your Ring is a narc, your Amazon Dot is a narc, and so is Siri. Probably your dang cell phone, too. These things are there to make money off you, and the instant that Amazon or whoever can pad their pocket by selling those recordings to others, they won’t hesitate for an instant to do so. I’m constantly amazed by how…

Another ‘job’ that baby boomer women had because of all that free time was ‘volunteering’. Women on volunteer committees were the social safety net. They volunteered in the schools, churches, synagogues etc to assist families in need. They headed up and did 99% of the work on fundraising committees for local culture,…

Well, she would be kicking...

She scored a hat trick in a World Cup Final and won the Golden Ball.

I firmly believe that all movies should be between 90 and 120 minutes, maybe slightly more given for weighty subject matter. My attention span (and my ass, assuming I’m seeing it in the theater) can’t handle more than that.

Hijacking the thread to say I just bought a (town)house, in the greater Seattle area, BY MY FUCKING SELF. No husband, not a dime from parents, and I am so fucking proud of myself I want to shout it from the rooftops.

I literally cannot wait until the influencer trend just fucks the hell off. I am so sick of zombies that follow all of that shit influencing trends and making people that would otherwise be working at Arby’s famous. GAH!

For food we had: Steak. Burgers. Bar-b-que. Pizza. Beer. Soda. Milkshakes. Mari-fucking-juana. A DJ. Ice cream cake.

Where’s the Redman MTV Cribs of the new generation to show how fake-ass all these other cats are.

If it happened to me I’d never shut up about it.

Yeah, when a friend directed a movie that had a scene where a goldfish flopped out of a tank, they had to have a PETA rep on set all day to make sure the fish was safe. I would very much like to know what protections are in place for a scene in which an adult kisses a child.

To the best of my knowledge, in the quarter-century since the film’s release, Pitt has yet to be subjected to a similar question. [People]
