Landing in Denver is also terrible, in my experience.

I’m right there with you! I get uncomfortable and slightly sweaty-anxious during serious turbulence, but other than that I’m ok... Until the landing. Then I’m a nauseated hot mess until those wheels hit the ground.

Seconded! The Sugar stuff was the absolute worst.

I was just about to say something along these lines. I don't think one becomes a feminist overnight, you know? Back in the day (before sociology blew my mind wide open), I know I ascribed to some of the bullshit that some of these "I don't need feminism because" people advocate. Our own privilege and even our own…

Oh, I rolled my eyes SO HARD during this part. Like, you're tied to a post after having been punched and threatened with a knife to your skull, you offer applesauce to the dude who made the threat TO GIVE TO HIS CHILD and then you won't eat it yourself? COME ONNNNNN.

YES - to echo what so many others have said in response to your brilliant post, pregnancy has absolutely strengthened my pro-choice leanings. Fuck ANYONE who would dare approach me and try to tell me with a straight face that my agency and MY very "person-hood" goes out the window now that I'm in the family way.

WTF? I'm sorry you have endure this garbage person at work.

+1 all the the live long day. May have to borrow that!

Oooh you had me at steampunk!

Charles LiMandri, president and chief counsel for the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund that is representing JONAH, said he remains confident a jury will side with his clients "who were only trying to help people."

"If you disagree, you should try out for the 2016 Olympics in the 100m Being Wrong. You'd definitely medal."

Thanks! I actually did practice yoga before this pregnancy and the classes we chose to take are all about breathing. I've actually had a lot of people comment to me about how relaxed I seem, and I really am. I think it's a recipe for success, personally - working with your body, keeping it as calm and relaxed as…

This is pretty much why I decided to hire a doula. I'm due next month and she's been great so far.

Yes! Priceless reaction.

I hear you on the inspiring confidence thing - I'm an attorney working in a majority male workplace, so I want to avoid the behavior where I can. I had my hair in a pixie cut for quite a while and that also helped, as the front of my hair was too short to derive any satisfaction from touching. Now it's growing out and…

I started pulling as a little kid. I really liked to twirl my hair around into a knot, and I would just touch the knot because I liked how it felt. But then, crap, I had a knot in my hair! So I'd pull it out. My parents discovered the bald patches soon enough and one day, my dad sat down with a magazine open to a…

Most definitely! From the site:

I have weirdest cats, I swear... they are just not into boxes whatsoever. Like, just DO NOT WANT. Any time I get a package I leave the box out thinking maybe, just maybe, THIS will be the box. Never is.

Hmmm, methinks I am getting the same vibe you speak of...

Seconded. I have felt this way so much more of my life than I'd care to admit. My sister is very thin and I used to envy her that, but nothing about her thinness was "careless" - she suffered tremendous anxiety (which runs in the family), to the point where she would literally have diarrhea every day. Not worth that…
