Need to add that mastitis is something to watch out for. If you're breastfeeding and aren't careful about the frequency, your milk ducts will become infected and/or clogged. I had it with my first kid, it was all kinds of crazy/scary. Fever, chills, severe pain, etc... Your instinct is to not nurse on that side but…

So glad I read this because I find myself more annoyed by people who moan about baby posts on Facebook than actual baby posts. I'm indifferent to babies but how hard is it to scroll or hide someone from your feed?!

no. just, no. upset we're overprotecting older kids by never allowing them to play outside? fine, i'm down with that argument. Wanting them to avoid being internally decapitated? not overprotection- common fucking sense. there are tons and tons of rear-facing car seats that go up to 35 lbs at least, which is fine for…

Just a minor correction - the issue isn't that the seat was a Maxi-Cosi (the infant bucket seat they used to bring George home looks like it might have been the same brand). The issue is that the specific seat (a Tobi) is a toddler carseat that does not have the capacity to rear-face, and Prince George should be…

This is like wearing sweats to Barneys. It only works if you are most definitely NOT working class. In my day, we called it slumming.

Oh fuck off with your smegma diatribe, you're as bad as a frat bro dissing vaginas as being fishy smelling. Grow the fuck up. You support an act that denies bodily consent. You sure have bought into the propaganda. As a European I find such exclamations entirely dubious. You know what extra precautions are taken?…

The international tagline for this show can be, "If you thought Americans were stupid before..."

Don't know if this helps, but they are leaving PRI for PRX (Public Radio Exchange). PRX built the mobile app for TAL (so many acronyms). PRX also built The Public Radio Player, which, if you are a public radio nerd like me, is the best app ever. So basically, This American Life will now do its online/mobile…

It's really difficult for a lot of Americans - and the country if you think of it as having a collective psyche that transcends generations - as part of anything larger than itself. From inception, obviously, America has placed a premium on independence, which is all well and good in theory. But you know who else…

It's not that eerie! Pregnancies and tumors have one thing in common: both have to grow really fast and take up a lot of nutrients in order to be successful. Naturally they share some genes which help them achieve these ends. Pregnancies of course use these genes by design, while cancers acquire access to these genes…

The difference between an embryo and a tumor is that an embryo (and any well-behaved somatic cell, really) knows when to stop growing, a tumor does not.

NYEAH, SEE? WE'LL CLOBBER YA, SEE? CUZ WHITE PEOPLE? WE TINK THEMS IS BUMS!!! [Charlestons all the way to Africa.]

" I think the vast majority of people really don't care where their food comes from as long as its cheap, plentiful, and tastes, while not necessarily good, at least not too horrible to stomach."

Usually, I'm just checking to see if my human face is still in place. Wouldn't want my naturally scaly green skin to show up at an awkward time...

Oh, so learning to "glean the complexities of real life and love" = being a serious asshat to your lifelong companion and then, when found out and called out on said asshattery, turning that shit 180 to deflect, deflect, deflect instead of admitting fault beyond a glib explanation? Well, fuck, and here I thought I had…

I'm is a grownup of 58 yrx old, Thursty, and lots of us JezBz are "mature" women (some are mature and only 18). Don't be patronizing, sonny boy.

Thurston Moore: The elder statesman of the "guitar guy at the party" crowd. Still substituting condescension and words he learned in high school philosophy class for actual argument. If only we could understand the complexity and depth of his love.

Yup, pretty sure you'd have to drink the milk first. And that's not the right way to do milk and cookies. The milk has to be a refresher/palate cleanser, so it's wasted if downed first.
