It’s been done.

We all make that face when we’re about to give teenagers the autism.

Good rule of thumb for anyone aspiring to deliver babies: be kind, a little witty, and listen to the mother-to-be. Whether you’re a midwife, or a woman doctor, or a man doctor, just make sure to do those things in addition to what methods your training prescribes.

Lena Dunham, the perfect candidate to make gay marriage about herself.

People are buying them because they’re fucking comfortable. Fashion is finally allowing women to wear shoes that aren’t literally crippling and still be “in”. I’ll take it.

You don't like them. Great! More for me! I walk a ton, so having super comfy shoes is really important to me- way more so than adhering to some rando's idea of "cute".

You’re right. It’s absolutely impossible that people wear them because they like them, that they prefer clean lines or simple shoes. SHEEPLE AMIRITE.

Okay, so I am in a bad mood, granted, but this is so far out of my ken as an ordinary citizen that I am not feeling it. I understand that women actors in Hollywood are up in arms over smaller paychecks than their male counterparts are granted and well they should be, but how does this impact us as a whole? So Jennifer…

I’m not sure how much of an outright disaster this is, but it was pretty funny, so I figured I’d share.

Purity culture is a part of rape culture. I'm not shocked by this at all.

On the point of the gazzillion sisters, do the Duggars seem like they have room for lots of sleepovers? Who does it seem likely the five female minors were?

It’s fascinating! On the one hand, Pratt’s persona has been kind, goofy, and innocent. We think of him and his flashing as entirely non-malicious. But his whole attitude of “I don’t understand how somebody could be so offended” speaks to so much fucking male privilege.

I went to see a screening of the second Boondock Saints film (for all its deep and obvious flaws, I have an abiding fondness for the original, entirely because of the gorgeous men and all the homoeroticism) that included a panel discussion with Troy Duffy and a few of the actors afterward. The move was so awful I…

My MUM.

I was about 12 when I’d decided I was going to be a Paleontologist (I’m not, btw, but that’s not the point.)

She nearly bled to death having me.

My mom is a transplanted Midwestern lady living in a small island town in south Texas. There are a lot of great stories I could tell about her (she was briefly Mormon because the only church within walking distance of her family’s farm was a Mormon temple and then she got a scholarship to BYU and, as she likes to tell…

So my mom died when I was 6 from cancer. At my kindergarten “graduation” I was getting a special citizenship award and was really excited about it. The evening of the ceremony, I remeber my mom laying on the couch obviously in a ton of pain. I, being 6, was oblivious and demanded she get ready for my graduation. She…

Ok, i’m gonna tell you something you won’t like: If you haven’t cut your hair in a long time, you probably have 1-2 inches of very damaged hair, maybe more. Your stylish will need to cut it. BUT WAIT there is a good new: you only have to do this ONCE. Then you go in and have just a few centimetres trims from time to…
