No, but white people could’ve voted for Hillary instead of Trump. And as a group, we didn’t.

Me too. And I’m white.

This. My whole family. My goddamn sister, who is a grownup executive, called me the morning of the election saying she was undecided. She was going to vote, but she hadn’t done so in 20 years. I don’t even know what to say to that.

Oh man, now I need to go compose myself too.

What is that old quote about about how advanced technology looks like magic to the uninitated? I imagine his astonishment to be on those terms.

More dirty dishes usually indicate more involved, complicated dishes. It only takes one pan to make a grilled cheese, but a lot more to make anything approaching a three-course meal.

To be fair, she’s probably a better cook than you are.

AH! My bad!

Thank you for helping me get this through this day. Hugs back at you.

I think it’s from Alien 3, the one where there was all those weird Sigourney/Alien hybrids. That creature says “Kill me.” Sad!

If it’s any comfort, a friend had a firstborn son who was a colicky, refluxey, high-needs baby who almost literally never stopped crying for his first four months. Then, a few years later, when she recuperated from that, she had a sweet, calm little girlbaby who still is the nicest, easiest toddler ever. It can…

Also, your avatar is cracking me up, because I feel like that’s just what happened to me after having my son, both mentally and physically. I’m the SEA BITCH. SORRY NOT SORRY.

Thank you so much. I wish you luck for the remainder of your pregnancy. I too soooo wanted a girl. Despite the difficulties of everything, I also figured “in for a penny...” and wanted to try for a girl, but my partner says that we just don’t have the bandwidth, financially or emotionally. He’s not wrong. And it…

I really do appreciate it. Yeah, it’s a tough situation, but I do need to do a better job reaching out to the autism “community.” I’m just not there yet. He’s not even 3 and we just got the diagnosis at the beginning of this year. I’m still in survival mode, doing my best to just get through the day and talking about…

I do, but he also works full time (actually, like 13 hours a day). Plus my son is autistic so he’s kind of a special snowflake and is super clingy to me. I literally can’t leave him with just anyone. I don’t live near any family. The only person I can ask to watch him is the woman who watches him while I’m at work…

Thanks. Thank god I have an office with a door that closes. It is literally the only time in my life when I’m ever alone. Not even the bathroom is safe at home.

I am also an introvert who likes to travel. Not trying to scare you but I feel the same way as Adele. Every fucking day. Many days I wish I never had my son, but I can never admit that to anyone because I’d sound like a garbage person. I love him more than anything on earth and always do my best for him, but there’s…

Honestly, I’ve been to a few retirement homes. Most of the people in there all have kids, and most of them are visited almost NEVER by them. So, damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

God, I’m so sorry. It’s just fucking hair, people. What is the big fucking deal? Hair is worth walking away from a 10 year marriage? I’d shave off his eyebrows in the middle of the night just to be a cunt.

Yes, animal like. But also almost like blackmail. Like, only love for my son could make me endure having my life and sense of self completely subsumed for someone else.
