Ah, that fine Republican whine: “It’s the liberal media’s fault that I am sleeping with a lobbyist directly involved with my duties as an elected official.”

That’s another good point. I feel like we traveled a lot, I live in a couple of different countries and we’re kind of like, “Oy vey, travel. Again? No.” So we’re very settled and don’t really have much of a fire under us to get out there go crazy anymore. (Wow, that sounded kind of sad reading that last sentence, ha!)

dude, she’s a teenager. She said, “When life gives you lemons, throw them at boys.” And your response to that is:

Sing it, sister. It’s impossible to buy a normal pair of jeans at a Lane Bryant these days. Every single ugly, overpriced garment in the store is tarted up with glitter or bedazzling.

Some of the smartest thoughts on the interwebs about parenting up above. Good stuff.

I greatly dislike Madonna. And it’s not because of her age, and it’s not because of her personal appearance, and it’s not because of her sexuality. I have no interest in age-shaming or skinny-shaming or slut-shaming her.

Oh for fuck’s sake.

Yup spent the rest of the evening happily youtubing him :)

That's lovely! It kind of reminds me of the Tom Waits song 'The Briar and the Rose'

It's the weird people who tend to make history.

I really like the iffy stuff she did when she was young and I think that's how she grew up to be so amazing. not to derail, but I kind of think Angelina Jolie's exploration of herself when she was young, and her ability to allow herself to make mistakes, really let her figure out who she was and embrace that sense of…

Hell, doing iffy stuff when we're young is how we become worthwhile when we're old. What's that Blake line about the path of excess leading to the palace of wisdom?

Didn't we all do iffy stuff when we were young?

The Sweat Pant Scandal of 2015 proves that industrialized nations have entirely too much free time on their hands. Seriously, demanding the head of Eva Mendez or forcing mea culpas from her AND her baby daddy, WTF is wrong with you people?

Bras are uncomfortable for big boobs, generally. Underwires dig in, straps dig in, elastic chafes.

It's totally a real thing! I went to Sicily last summer and one time I was TRYING to say, "Good morning, I would like a cappuccino please" but instead I was all, "I oppose gay adoption, and synthetic babies are an abomination against God and nature." It was so embarrassing.

Yasss! It really is just making the choice to participate according the rules or slowly but surely change the rules of play. Viola Davis isn't supposed to be "sexy" and John Cho isn't supposed to be a leading man, hell, even Adele isn't supposed the be one of the baddest bitches in the game...until they are. Slowly,…

God, RIGHT? It's only compounded by the fact that I have a ridiculously happy child. When I pick her up from daycare, she literally runs to me screaming with excitement and glee. My stone cold New Englander heart doesn't stand a chance!

aw, congrats :)

2 years later and those hormones are not totally in check for me. I miss being a hard ass bitch. Congratulations on the new squish! I miss having a teeny little.
