I know it’s a gossip piece, that’s why I’m actually not taking it very seriously. I also agree that she needs to check her privilege. My point is that this is written in a way that I don’t believe the author realized that she was in fact quoting a song, but rather that this came straight from her mouth.

I’m aware, but this article is geared like this came from her directly. I think it’s more about Blake trying to say something funny and it just falling a little flat.

We’re aware these are lyrics from the Sir Mix-a-Lot masterpiece “Baby Got Back,” yes? I'm not saying she's off the leash, but she didn't make it up herself.

I believe I said something to the effect of “it’s a fucking movie, but after this, you may be dying in your sleep soon too.”

True story, I only saw The Notebook because my boyfriend at the time wanted to go see it. He then promptly dumped me that night because “we were just never going to have a love like that.”

I have argued people, my own husband included, that it is her prerogative to grieve her loss in whatever way is most appropriate for her. And if referring to the fact that she has two children (true), and that her son is her daughter’s older brother (also true), and that she wishes she had them both here with her is…

Also the argument of “we (older moms) dealt with it, you deal with it.” Like the fatigue, depression, loss of self is just as on par with child birth stretch marks and sore nipples.

A good friend of mine’s son was stillborn at 27 weeks. She now has a beautiful, healthy baby girl, and it is crazy how many people have told her something along the lines of “you have another baby now, you need to get over the first one.” Like it’s a high school break-up or something, or like her daughter’s…

I am dealing with delayed postpartum, which came about once I had finished breastfeeding in January (baby girl was 20 months old). I had expected it immediately after having her, and was surprised that I did fine. But once I stopped breastfeeding, WHAM, it hit me like a tidal wave. The number of people I’ve spoken to…

I don’t think it’s mere coincidence that this movie is premiering on MY FUCKIN’ BIRTHDAY. I sincerely hope there is an update to the “I’m the best dancer at the American Ballet. Who are you? Nobody.” line.

Do you think he would have the same greeting for a 32 year-old woman who’s largest contribution to society thus far is retweeting Internet memes designed at making fun of Donald Trump? #askingforafriend

You should be working in the pictures kid, cuz this idea is GOLD.

It is a shame, because just the three year age difference is partly responsible for people thinking it’s just (in the words of a misguided friend of mine ) “an unconventional love story.”

I feel like all people need to do, to get the real message of the book, is read the passage where he describes how he would love to knock Lolita up, so that by the time she has ripened pass the age of acceptance for him, he will have another little play thing ready to go.

Mine would quickly dissolve into porn.

Excellent point.

I, too, have a deep appreciation for Catcher (mainly stemming from my teen angsty connection to the book throughout high school). I do think “Franny and Zooey” is Salinger’s better book, however.

I do have to say that one of my absolute favorite writing assignments in school came from that book. We were required to write an additional chapter for the book, at any point, so long as we were able to realistically add to the story and write as closely to the language as possible. I took it as an opportunity to…

One of the great things about growing up in an incredibly culturally diverse community was that the school district made an actual effort to have books that explored all manners of cultural, racial, religious backgrounds. I particularly remember “The House on Mango Street” (about a young Mexican-American girl) and…
