As someone who has worked with survivors of domestic violence and as someone who is below the poverty line (because I chose a career that works with survivors of domestic violence), these articles feel like such a heavy “should” that so many can't accomplish. I appreciate your acknowledgment that this is a pipe dream…

easier said and all that...

Is it just me or does that entire slideshow look like the sale section at Forever XVI? It’s terrible and looks cheap as all hell.

Fresh Sugar would be my recommendation, so I hope you like it! That stuff is expensive, but glorious.

This was totally like my wedding, only we were inspired by CarTalk. Our performance artists wore vintage muscle car transmissions on their heads and in retrospect the whole thing would have been far less tragic had we not insisted that they get in the pool.

I’ve had several friends visit Thailand and return with a cutesy photo of them cuddling a heavily sedated drugged up Tiger. Gotta do what you gotta do for a couple extra likes, amirite?

By rights it should go to this kid, he has it down pat. Check out the smile in the video.

Fine. Then i wouldn’t spend months preaching hate and bigotry in the guise of running for national leader of one of the major world powers, then act shocked when someone called me on my bullshit either. Trump is just pissed that his hateful rehrotic might have real consequences and is having a hissy fit. And if were…

It is the easiest thing in the world to be a willful nonconfirmist. I am sure he feels like a special little snowflake.

Me too! And I’m Canadian!

When my cousin from California came to stay with us a couple summers ago, he told me to always repeat this comment to myself on internet news articles: never read the comments, never read the comments, they will just drive you crazy so never read the comments. This is the only news place I read and post comments on.

So far, so good, but I’m reserving judgment until one of them writes a memoir.

My son’s middle name is Radley. I was super smug when all the Atticus parents were freaking out after Go Set a Watchman came out.

I named my youngest girl Scout. I feel pretty good about it.

It does, actually. It’s like a very squeaky, very quiet fart.

I agree that the The Weeknd is not that great, and I’m happy to see him included on this list.

He knows damn well what he did.

Diagrams, please. I live in Canada and this is relevant.

I saved all my daughter’s Polly Pockets (the cute little ones, not the large ones with rubbery clothes they have now), AND all her Littlest Pet Shoppe critters. (No problem hauling them around in the intervening years as they all fit in one small bin.)

I LOVED Polly Pocket. I still like miniaturized things, now that I think about it.
