omg these mismatched shoes are adorable

Her grandmother is Tippi Hedren; her ancestry is Swedish; pretty much all Swedish kids call their maternal grandmothers "Mormor." (It actually means "mom's mom.") They're reaching so hard for "interesting" material that they're going to sprain a shoulder.

Jag älskar dig, Sverige.

Lil Miss Singing Mermaid was the shit. I loved that toy. I took it in the bathtub every time I bathed because I loved making it sing underwater. It was a little too stiff, though—you had to squeeze the fool out of her tummy to make her sing.

A BADASS RAPPER AND GANGSTER IN THE KITCHEN.

Oh my word this. I was just being petty about the American/English thing; ALW is far from my favorite when it comes to musicals. Plays. People.

My most WTF cultural reference is why Emmy Rossum was dressed in a replica of Sisi's dress and hair stars in the Phantom movie. She's supposed to be a slave in Carthage or something; why would she be dressed like a Victorian empress?

THAT is pop music for farm animals. It's the latest fad!

Given that I stopped and stared at that gif for waaay longer than anything else on the page, and that my heart SHATTERED in the antepenultimate episode of the season (even though I KNEW WHAT WAS COMING), I will agree with this.

Jia, your hard-hitting analysis of supermarket tabloids MAKES MY WHOLE WEEK, but your drunken gymnastics might have you beat this time. At least you're only besting yourself.

I was in labor six weeks ahead of my due date, which was the more pressing concern, and I believe the majority of the tearing was internal (not immediately visible). From what I've heard, the pain of tearing vs. episiotomy is negligible, and

Note to EVERYONE: Thank you so much for your concern! I really...did not think this was that big of a deal, but apparently it is...so to those of you who are wondering/worried:

I had a really problematic pregnancy. When I delivered, I tore. Forward. This is apparently kind of rare, but I split up the middle toward my clitoris. I cannot explain how painful that was.

As a former Starbucks barista, I was a broken record for three months out of the year telling folks who ordered PSL with soy "OK, but I do have to let you know that the drink isn't vegan; the pumpkin spice syrup contains milk products." 90% of people didn't care, but a few changed their order. Baristas, in my
