Wanna bet she’s a good tipper, too?

Despite her reputation of having a rather cold demeanor, I bet Hilary is Hilarious is real life. I bet she can toss back a drink and offer a dry quip with the best of them.

KARA, HELP US. IS THIS SHADE?

DIDN’T EVEN GET HIT BY A TRAIN

My baby is almost 10 months, and we are already developing strong independent-play habits. Through routine, she knows we have book time and chore time and together-play time and independent-play time. It’s great already to have 30-minute-increments of relaxed attention built into my day.

This. I'm a fucking person. There is a reason why anyone else doing this for my kids gets paid. It's WORK. And I deserve breaks too.

Also the vilification of mothers needing 5-15 minutes to themselves, in whatever form.

I am with my kids all day, every day from 7am to 7pm. I am not worried about “missing out” because I'm texting my brother while they play. I'm so sick of this crap. My mother wasn't staring at me the whole time I was growing up, and thank goodness for that. Who wants to sit and watch fucking soccer practice? We always

Yeah, not every single moment is a “quality time” moment.

You sooooo don’t have a 5-year-old.

I love my daughter to bits, but five-year-olds can be incredibly boring. There’s only so many times in a row I can take listening to her sing the same verse of a song she only knows those words to and not very accurately before I need something else to pay attention to or I’d fall asleep.

That is SO PERFECT right there.

Justin Bieber’s friends say he doesn’t drink or do drugs anymore.

Every time this happens it is like the floor has fallen out from under me. And yet I am also not surprised.

Quick, Congress! Do nothing!

I know the likelihood of it passing through the Senate is (knock on all the fucking wood) slim, but this shouldn’t quell the outrage. These “representatives” don’t represent women. Full stop.
