Life is hard in so many ways in Colorado. I heard your water doesn’t even boil normal because of elevation. I’m in Kansas City, Missouri, which is humid af. Come by sometime for some ribs and a good sweat. Lol.

So much love to you—what you’re doing is so incredibly hard and you’re doing your best. Nobody can do better than that.

Is there a way to connect with moms who are in a similar boat? I found that helped me as a new autism mom. It can be so isolating and overwhelming to be in a different mothering boat at everyone else, whatever that boat is, and as you have rightly pointed out, you did almost die. :/ Little Catalina is a year old, and…

Hi all! I haven’t been around much lately, so here’s an update. First up, the loveliness that is Catita:

I am at the tail end of some random illness that struck out of the blue, took me down and fucked up my entire week. I have barely been dressed let alone outside of the house. On Wednesday I did manage to get Big Foot to her psychiatrist appt. which was at her program so she was less than thrilled about having to go.…

I don’t have curly hair but hear amazing things about DevaCurl stylists.

Haven’t been in this space but if you’re worried about judgment from a financial advisor I would recommend r/personalfinance on Reddit. You could post anonymously and they give really well thought-out advice! There’s also r/povertyfinance which describes itself as “This is a place for people who do not have a lot, nor…

Dry cuts are the best!

This summer my sister is leaving to work at the Grand Canyon!!!! We’re not going to be in the same state for SIX (6) MONTHS!!!!

Random but pretty grossed out by the press coverage “incels” are now getting. They thrive on publicity, and there’s their hero headlining the most trafficked feminist site on the web.Everyone’s playing into their hand but it gets the clicks so it’s worth it, right Jezebel?

I’m all packed up at my brother’s place for my move into the new place next week. I’m on vacation for the week as well so I can relax before and after. I’m usually a procrastinator about packing but most of my stuff is in storage and I have so little at my brother’s it seemed silly to put it off to last minute. I…

She is gone!!!

After one month of my three-month fitness and nutrition program, which includes five sessions each of cardio and weightlifting every week and a 1640-calorie meal plan, I have lost a total of 8.5" from my body, including 4.25" from my waist, and I have reduced my body fat percentage by 11.9%.

I have decided after much debate that I am going to a) get a tattoo and b) get my ears pierced. I’ve been wanting to do the later for years and years and just never figured a good time to do it, since I’m 30+ and whatever. But if I’m going to get a tattoo (something to remind me of my late husband, but also to bring…

Writing about black culture, life and politics in a compelling and nuanced way makes some people anxious. In fact, a certain strain of nonblack liberal journalists, the kind who complain about “identity politics” and “establishment Democrats,” find all of this blackity blackness suspect and dangerous, and go out of…

I’ve had people come to me both here & elsewhere talking about him, and those people don’t know each other. I don’t know how that can be an accident.

I believe that characters like Glenn Greenwald have connections to the kind of plenty-of-time-on-their-hands hackers who could absolutely make it look like the “Wayback Machine” was saying something untrue. (When did one self-appointed site become the arbiter of truth all of the sudden? I missed the vote on deciding…

Pete Carroll knows that nothing can bring down twins, at least not from the outside.

Well, two things, I’m not going to get into a back and forth with anybody over “she lied - she didn’t lie”, because she said herself what she believed — but if you are someone who does believe she lied, Imani Gandy explains why someone in her position might have a motive to do so.

My daughter is eleven. Right now she’s at a phase in her life where her friend group is equally boys and girls and she cherishes them all. There are hints of little crushes here and there, but mostly, they’re still kids.
