I am absolutely not talking about the expensive restaurants. Those are great too, I’m sure, but I haven’t been to most of them either, even though I live here. I have a limited budget. There are one of a kind hole-in-the-wall looking pizza joints and hot dog eateries that are just as affordable as McDonald’s. Its…

The problem seems to be that ALL cities that used to be interesting and fun are becoming cliched and so gentrified its hard to find anything interesting anymore that aren’t “cool” mommies wheeling bugaboos and holding cappuccinos. I’ve lived in NYC my whole life and there are still parts of it I love but so many parts…

Oh that is BAD. I would be ready to kill. Why did she do this? Out of spite, out of concern for lack of pork-based protein? Did she just hate Muslims? What justification did she have for this?

I never understood this. How can a spouse NOT taste breastmilk, even accidentally, at some point. Sex during the breastfeeding stage + licking nipples = some breast milk coming out and your spouse tasting it. It happens all the time. Do these spouses just stay away from the woman’s breast the entire time they are…

Oh man, I LOVED The Lion’s Lady by Julie Garwood! I must have read that 10 times as a teenager. Now I need to re-visit it to see if it holds up.

But my god that song is catchy.

Seriously, I have no clue what was going through their minds. It was just that one summer, my Mom had to work full time, my older sister was in sleepaway camp and my Mom sent me to a Day camp in desperation. We didn’t have much money growing up so I’m guessing it wasn’t the most progressive place. It was in Brooklyn…

I feel like Social Services should be monitoring those videos. What some parents do to their kids.

I agree that sensible discourse has been very much squashed in favor of bling outrage, which is much more fun. Still, in this case, people have a point. 

This whole issue brought up something I had forgotten.  I was in a Day Camp when I was approx 10, or 11. As that day’s activity, each bunk was given a different country to represent, dress up as, write a song about, speak in that country’s accent for the day, etc. Of course, my bunk was Africa. (which now that I think…

It feels like this is being done on purpose. Honestly, like it’s a world wide game show. It’s just so many things in a row I can’t help but feel punked. Who is left in the universe that can still look at that shoe and say “yep. Thats a winner”. Jesus H.

Yes but any trope about Jews And “benjamins” aka money is a pretty obvious and loud dog whistle. It is good that she got called out for this. She should know better. 

No offense, but I’m guessing your tweet was not as innocent as you make it out to seem. Be honest with yourself. Was your tweet mocking? Condescending? Insulting? Most orthodox Jews that I know are 100% fine being asked questions from people who genuinely want to know and learn vs people who are not so subtly laughing…

Fringe weirdos known as nerurei karta and most mainstream orthodox Jews try very hard to pretend they dont exist.

You’ve got my vote. Make Wolves Great Again!

Of course my husband and I ask each other before we make plans to go out with friends, its the word “babysitting” I object to. 

Ha! I had that same hospital moment where they wheeled me to the waiting room and then they were like “ok, bye! Good luck!” and I was just thinking “wait, you’re LEAVING me with a tiny human to care for? What are you crazy? I could be a baby-eating serial killer for all you know!”

I STILL have female friends who say “wait, before I know if I can go out tonight I need to see if my husband can babysit”. Bitch, they are HIS kids! he’s not babysitting anymore than you are. So many men act like they’re doing you a favor when they watch the kids that you start thinking that it is.
