I saved my tickets for a decade, and got a giant stuffed bear for 4,000 tickets on my 21st birthday. I still have the bear in my kid’s room.

We could easily sell our house for a profit right now, but we couldn’t buy a house as nice as ours for what we’d make. We’re pretty lucky we got in when we did- we wouldn’t be able to afford to buy our own house at this point.

We don’t look at it as a financial investment, but I would still call it an investment in…

I dunno, I re-read Matilda recently as an adult and woah, did he despise children. 

Hey, Harry and Ron didn’t have to dress up to sneak into the bathroom...

Yup. This look comfortable and I would have wanted it. I had pelvic pain and the supportive maternity pants helped so much. 

Yes, the pregnant body CAN carry the bump, but maternity clothes are designed with those elastic supportive panels because they are comfortable. I didn’t think this was “shapewear” I figured it was for comfort.
Kim had two miserable pregnancies and Chrissy is on her third. They do know what they’re talking about. I’m…

I was molested as a child too and I'm so fucking sick of all this. Yes, of course I'm against pedophilia, who isn't? But I don't want to talk about it constantly and I'm sick of this somehow being partisan. Maybe they could get some bipartisan legislation happening that will actually fundamentally help protect…

I thought people were overreacting based on the trailer, but then I saw a full dance sequence somewhere else and it was gross. Those are children, who were directed by adults, to dance like that, for entertainment.

Yes, exactly this. My husband cannot touch me whenever he wants, he can touch me whenever I want. 

I waited until birth to find out because I truly had no preference and because it was fun to wait.

I have uterine polyps. They’re somewhat painful- as in painful enough I went to the doctor and was diagnosed, but at this point I’m not in enough pain that I want surgery. (I was afraid the pain meant something was wrong with my IUD.) When I asked my doctor about reasons for removal other than pain, she mentioned…

This is a great article, thanks! I’m in Texas and I’m tickled that we’re considered a toss-up this year. I’ve also been saying for YEARS we should at least go with proportional allocation and do away with the winner-take-all system.

I’d also love ranked choice voting- start with the primaries and then eventually move…

Color blocking. The front of the dress is white, and blends with the background. Look closer, it’s an optical illusion. 

This is not your fault.

I didn’t find out the sex of my baby, and so many people would say this. “I could never do that, I have to PLAN.”

Yeah but the most common one was pneumonia. Most people aren't walking around with chronic pneumonia

I feel like "not going to the er because of covid" is definitely a covid-adjacent death. 

I quit gum for years, but between mask breath and all the jaw clenching lately, I've started chewing it again. I expect to quit again once this is over. 

If this is the first time one of his peers has died, that's such a weird and different experience. One of my friends died in high-school and the loss was definitely very, very different from losing my grandmother, which was heartbreaking in a different way. I always knew I would outlive my grandma. But the first time…

I’m happy for Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom. There’s something about this pairing that just makes my teenage heart happy. It’s adorable and it makes sense. This is a sweet announcement and a great cause.
