I used to be a newspaper reporter and have a pretty chill relationship with the reporters in my city. A couple months ago I sent off a statement that reeked of BS* (and the Powers That Be would not let me change a letter of it) and I just get an email back from the reporter that says “Seriously?” Yes. Seriously. I’m

I am amused by this because the Tour is literally the only sports event my husband will watch on TV (well, that and Formula 1). Apparently he’s not a real man.

Anyone else team lightly sweetened iced green tea? (MY JAM ALL SUMMER Y’ALL)

I had a fairly easy C-section recovery as well (I don’t have a high pain tolerance though, I think I just got lucky) and only took the Percocet a couple times because I was achy, and they didn’t do anything for me as far as making me drowsy or anything (honestly the IV Benadryl they gave me in the hospital because I

Postpartum PTSD is very much a thing.

Wow, you’re taking this really personally.

This is my thought for having one kid. Ultimately I decided to have a second, knowing that it was really going “all-in” on the parenting thing, but I agree that going with one only is pretty damn appealing.

Yeah, my husband and I got legally married a couple weeks before our actual wedding because it was a destination wedding and we would have had to go to the courthouse in person several days earlier (missing more days of work and getting stuck in a hotel for longer) to get the license. A website would be awesome.

I wonder how much of an overlap there is between people who like to tell workers fighting for rights that if they don’t like their pay/benefits/dangerous job duties, they should just get new ones, and those who support this guy or pharmacists/doctors who refuse to prescribe or fill scripts for certain medications

Last time I went to the OB, I apologized for not having eaten because I knew my stomach was making noises. My doctor laughed and said when I started with “I apologize in advance” she expected me, like so many patients, to be apologizing for not being freshly waxed/shaved. At a DOCTOR’S appointment! An OB, as well - so

Or like a sane person, famous models like Paul could go the Imam route and actually educate people about how to do makeup for black people becuase it’s not their damn fault they don’t know how,

I spent three years trying to find a doctor willing to give me an IUD, since I hadn’t been pregnant before. They all kept pushing me towards the NuvaRing, which I hated (I couldn’t get the damn thing to stay in for the life of me). The ultimate irony was that once I finally went to Planned Parenthood and they were

Hell, I went in for my second one after I’d had a kid and said to my doctor “I’m so glad this will be easier than the first time!” and was basically told that since I’d had a C-section, it wasn’t any different. Doubly frustrating considering how long I’d had to search to find a doctor willing to give me the IUD before

I had the same problem until I finally got mine about four years ago. It’s just doctors running off of outdated information. Try going straight to Planned Parenthood, that’s where I finally got mine!

The two restaurants I’ve worked at both identified the gratuity as a “service charge” on the bill. I thought that was pretty standard?

See, I don’t think it’s a problem that an early childhood education teacher may make raunchy jokes or swear or anything - as long as it’s not in front of actual children (future teachers of children don’t count). But honestly, it sounds like she really crossed the line here.

Saaaame. I don’t do meatheads. Funny nerdy guys who also happen to be hot? Totally my thing. +100 if they wear glasses.

That sounds awesome!

And to me, it was pretty damn telling. This woman’s behavior at multiple elementary schools was so inappropriate that she was asked not to return?

Channing Tatum does nothing for me. But I’ll totally go see this for Donald Glover.
