I’m going to miss Drew Magary’s Hater’s Guide to the William Sonoma Catalogue. 

WOW. I’m shocked by all this in part because I am a huge fan of Sarah Dessen... so I know that statement is absolutely true.

The scariest thing about the ouija board story is that a Chick Tract gained enough sentience to write it!

If it wasn't reported stolen until after it was announced for auction, I'm #TeamSara.

And much like that wreckage, this too makes me sad.  FFS.  The SAG membership needs to come with mandatory therapy sessions.  

As an EY alum who was denied a promotion because I was pregnant, then laid off six months to the day after returning from maternity leave, this is the least surprising thing I have ever seen.

Can you imagine trying to catch the bouquet with those tiny arms? No wonder they died out

Disagree. People will actually mean it when they say, “Yes, I’d love to see your wedding photos.”

Bedbugs are the one creature on earth that I would gladly see go extinct. I would make offerings of down pillows and feather quilts while dancing buck-naked around a bonfire singing “Mr. Sandman” if I thought it would help.

worst moment in show history.  hug your wolf. 

Honestly, I’m constantly frustrated with how many bells and whistles get put on women’s clothing. Fashion Coward spoke to me DEEPLY because maybe I JUST want a plain blue button down (that doesn’t have lace or logos or or ruffles or ruched anything) or a pair of plain black flats (no bows or fake corsetry or…

I really don’t think this is entirely a gendered problem. There is a reason that SNL skit “Fashion Coward” hit such a nerve for women. LOTS of people don’t want a crazy number of options or anything more than basics that fit well. I am a woman and I similarly hate how long button down shirts are and wish more were…

Here’s the actual pleading.

i love the thought of you making s’mores with your mom, it is so pure and lovely. and honestly, same. i stayed with my folks after i left the apartment i shared with my husband while we were divorcing, and it wasn’t pure sunshine and rainbows, but it was also a huge relief. i knew who i was coming home to, they had my…

I’ve been out of my mom’s house for 15 years now, and I might move back over the summer. And honestly, I’m a bit psyched about it. My mom is awesome, and we get along well. If I move in with her, we’ll be close to my sister and her kids. People who think living with your parents is some kind of scarlet letter have no…

My mom and I have both done rounds with major depression, but overall, hers is more debilitating than mine. After she retired (following several uses of medical leave connected to her mental health) she moved halfway across the country and lives with my husband and I. I could see the alternative play out in mind: she…

Well, and the part that I find so toxic (I shudder to use this word, but it seems apt) about the attitude is how it displays this obsession with Davidson—and presumably this is supposed to hold for the average dude—demonstrating worthiness for female attention entirely through material means. And then we turn around…

So what? Maybe he likes his mom? Maybe she keeps him grounded. I truly think that people who haven’t lost a parent can’t understand how much that experience makes you value the one you have left.

you’ve definitely struck a nerve for all us non-Hallmark daughters and sons- so thank you. As a survivor of a toxic mother I want to offer a way for people like me to take mother’s day and make it a day for us too- like Galentines- I go and visit a lovely lady at a care home who has early stage Alzheimer’s- it’s a…

I was adopted as a baby, and emancipated at 14 from my second family for these reasons. I find this time of year especially hard and it’s always good to know I am not alone in this.
