You forgot Sean Doolittle, who is the very best of the Nationals. Doo is the best. He had the guts to state publicly why he wasn’t going. And he and his wife walk the walk and talk the talk in community activism. They hosted Thanksgiving dinner for Syrian refugees and got the community involved, when he was with…

My Mom had all girls and “boy moms” used to annoy her so much. They all seemed to assume that being loud, messy, and roughhousing was something only boys did. She would frequently point out that my sisters and I did all of those things (especially the story where my middle sister and I were fighting and fell onto the…

I’ve been very fortunate that my old friends with kids are all really supportive and chill about child rearing practices, and I’ve also met two other women whose children are in my son’s daycare class who also live in our neighborhood, and our kids really like playing together, and they’re both non-judgy, and “real”…

Look, you’re never going to convince people like this that a fetus isn’t a fully developed person who can feed themselves and get a job in 2 months if only their mamma didn’t execute them.

Pregnancy is a potential consequence of sex. If a man isn’t prepared to accept that his sexual partner may choose an abortion, he shouldn’t have sex.

When I see there are more toys than we can handle, I shove everything that is cluttered into a big box and start our weekend Donauction. I have my two girls sit on their table across from each other, get a megaphone (toy), take a toy from the box to the table, and declare “Donation?!”

I have two kids. It’s such a fine line between what they want for Christmas and what you know they’ll actually play with. No one wants disappointed kids on Christmas morning.

Yeah, but nobody worries about changing Trump; he just shits on the Constitution every day

this has left Congress struggling to adapt to a new reality: a lot more young moms with young children serving in office.

The bridesmaid who planned the party didn’t know the difference between a shower and bachelorette party. I guess she thought it was weird that the bride had requested she invite so many older family members and work friends, but she must have never questioned it. I generally find penis toy and stripper bachelorette…

Someone posted on my Facebook that it was like waiting on a group project grade- I know I did my shit right, so I’m just sitting here hoping everyone else did their fucking part. 

I like pleasure spiked with pain and getting tossed from Lakers games. 

I can imagine that he doesn’t ever want to feel like he did that day. 

Jesus, I bet even John Mayer is reading this and thinking “What a douchebag.”

When we were kids, my sister and I watched “Now and Then” with our neighbor friends. We were 4 girls between the ages of 9 and 13 - I was the youngest. Despite my mom’s religious upbringing and banning of Ouija boards and anything else that could be considered Satanic, the movie exposed us to the concept of a seance.

Na…

The trial fucking enraged me. Kobe had his scumbag lawyer “accidentally” use the accuser’s full name in open court half a dozen times just to make sure it got out there so legions of unhinged fans would make her life a living hell until she gave up and went away. And it fucking worked. The judge threatened to hold her…

I’m from Northern California about an hour south of Redding I always joke when people ask me why I moved from California to New York that California has no water and it’s always on fire and I hate how much that’s true right now. I have a lot of friends and family that are still dealing with displacement. Northern…

While not very many homes and no lives have been lost in the Mendocino Complex fires so far, the Carr fire that burned through suburbs of Redding and rural Trinity and Shasta counties destroyed over 1,000 homes. Last year, Santa Rosa lost over 500 to the Tubbs fire. Fire season isn’t officially “over” until October.
