I guess you didn’t hear about the parents in Albert whose kid died because they didn’t believe/trust modern medicine. He had bacterial meningitis and could have been treated and most likely cured.

Unfortunately, I think you may be correct. The demographics of anti-vaxxers in Canada don’t indicate that a lack of scientific information is the problem;

Yeah. If you’d kept your hot mess of a husband: Alive, employed, managed, fed and clothed and supported and he KEPT stepping out... I can support her and any woman who says, “enough.”

Running, especially distance running, is not one of them. I have never done a running race where men and women even had separate start times, and a few years ago, on the local race circuit, one guy and I developed a friendly competition because we were so evenly matched.

Nice try but you’re not going to trick me into drinking Budweiser. That only works when you put it into pitchers and charge $2 for it.

She was on TV earlier today when I was in the lunch room. I really, really, REALLY wish we would stop giving non-doctors/non-scientists a platform to talk about medical issues. The “chronic Lyme” people are often as misguided as anti-vaxxers (and are frequently the same people).

You have my deep personal gratitude for referring me to this. Even the archives seem like excellent, hilarious ways of distracting myself after a tough day.

As someone who had raging resting angry face as a child, I feel ya, Caroline. I feel ya so hard. You are adorable and dignified and one day you’ll use that glare to instantly wither asshole high school classmates, gross men in bars and anyone else who gets in your way.

I haven’t announced this to my family yet but I’m bursting with excitement and anxiety and nerves so I just have to tell someone

This is slightly O/T but congrats on having adult relationships with your exes.

Marshall Field’s forever! (No, that isn’t a Beatles song! ;) )

RIP all the regional chains bought out by Macy’s, honestly

I know what you mean. My 3 year old stepson loves to get his nails painted and asks us for it constantly, so his mom and I do it for him whenever he wants. (Whatever distracts a toddler for five minutes and keeps him from destroying my friggin’ house is a plus in my book.) He has a blast with it.

I feel you, girl. Dress shopping was harder than I thought it would be! I was dead set that I wasn’t going to get my dress from David’s, but since I’m plus sized, I thought I would start there since they carry samples in my size. I thought I’d go, see what styles looked best on me, then go somewhere “nicer” for my…

A place to start.

So funny explaining black stuff to some white folk. Some white folk take their culture shit for granted (they’re obsessed with Boston and Boston accents or something they think is funny and so, WE must think it’s funny. It’s not (to me). And black culture has soooo many fucking funny nuances that white folk don’t…

“Good hair” is just code for “white girl” hair. It doesn’t have anything to do with how it was styled on a particular day, it’s a comment on how white women’s natural hair is considered a societal beauty ideal over black women and their natural hair.

Black people, or people knowledgeable about black culture wouldn’t say that. Good hair is a loaded phrase. Especially considering that phrasing ___hair, don’t care exists. It’s frequently, ‘long hair don’t care,’ or ‘natural hair don’t care.’ Those would have been plausible, good hair don’t care is uncomfortable in…

THE ATTENTION SHOULD ALWAYS BE ON THE PERSON WHO DECIDED TO CHEAT

I agree wholeheartedly with this take. Like... lady, don’t post something that pretty clearly makes it look like you’re the other woman and then act surprised when people think you had an affair.
