Yeah my husband kind of broke up with the show this season and I'm still watching but not on Sundays, I can wait. Meh. I was enraged about [redacted] and Bates is the Actual Worst and nothing else is really happening except everyone is clutching their pearls about a black man.

My husband makes his own sriracha, and it is super easy but for the love of god make sure you OPEN THE WINDOWS when you cook it. I have empathy for the fine citizens of Irwindale, CA because I too have been gassed out of the house on occasion.

It should be noted that the actual numbers of people who think this is a great idea are about in the double digits.

I got a crash course in this as I watched not one, but two friends get pregnant, over the age of 35, after ONE (1) night of unwrapped passion. For me personally, we had some reduced fertility issues, but I went to Catholic school where the sex ed basically hammered into me that if I so much as LOOK at a dude, I am…

It depends on the kind of doctor, though. Gynecologists are not specialists in reproductive endocrinology and they may hazard an educated guess that it will be difficult for a patient to get pregnant, their word should not be taken as reliable. And yet I hear so many stories of women being told by their non-specialist…

In my experience there's not so much *a* system as a zillion different systems. Education is done at such a fine grain in this country, every district is a little fiefdom unto itself. But I know a lot of teachers of all different subjects and ages and they are all fantastic, and do some amazing stuff even within the…

I do work in a diverse range of public and private schools and I see fantastic, creative teaching happening every day, by both new teachers and veterans.

This is the sort of stuff I investigate in my professional life and... just be wary of over-applying these axioms.

My husband MAKES yogurt. For himself. To eat.

I was quite fond of Galen for a while. Husband lobbied hard for Augustus. I was feeling good about Jude or Julian but husband insisted it was to be Julius or gtfo. He's a purist.

Do you have an Amelia already? Because I have the Rory half!

I hope you aren't me because I was 2 weeks late.

I have a very unusual (girl) name so I was kind of hyper-aware of what happens when you grow up with a weird name, and how weird is too weird. In the end we just went with the old standby of "name your children after Doctor Who companions."

I gave my husband a couple rules when we were brainstorming baby names: no diacritical marks and nothing that sounds like a D&D character. Because he kept coming back to me with like, Stormageddon Dark Lord of All.

Liam is the Irish variant of William.

Just guessing that it represents the changing demographics of Texas to be more diverse and less whitey white?

Well, also when we were trying to decide on a name for our son, I found it a lot more difficult with boy names to walk the "unusual but not mock-worthy" and "weird and will get made fun of forever" line. Especially as a non-JudeoChristian family who didn't want to go with a Biblical name, we found it really hard to…

Pennsylvania's all "HELL NO YOU WILL PRY MICHAEL OUT OF OUR COLD, DEAD H— OOOO MASON OKAY!"

I don't get "bothered" as in "hit on" but I do get stink-eye for daring to be older and overweight while using weight equipment. I can feel the "How dare she, she doesn't even belong here, she makes my boner sad, she's using equipment that was meant for ME, not the likes of HER" vibes emanating from the dudes.

My baby roomed in with me so when I was discharged they just gave me some paperwork and sent me on my way with my baby. No wheelchair, no one watched.
