My dad has never once voted Republican.

Our family has a long standing tradition that any celebration involving cards, the card must be totally inappropriate, addressed to someone else, and signed by someone else.

My Dad was a lost, hard working, alcoholic emotionally troubled NaAm. If you are a female with a “rescue complex” always trying to “save” some guy—don’t have kids. Life is hard enough. Manymanymany people are simply not able to be fixed, helped or saved no matter how much ego&good intentions you as a nurturing female…

My dad is a saaaaaaint. I love him. He is my favourite person in the world. He is also the source of 90% of my irritation in any given day but that’s parents for you. He has always been a world-class dad. I had terrible sleep problems when I was little so he used to come into my room and sleep on the floor until I…

My Dad was a wonderful man. He took my sister and I to breakfast every Saturday morning so Mom could sleep in. This happened every Saturday (I got cheeseburgers, sis chocolate chip pancakes) no matter how long he’d been on the road (selling hunks of steel - that z-shaped thing your bike pedal is on is a “forging”). He…

One time I was arguing with my boyfriend on AIM (lol), and my dad walked in and saw me crying. I was so upset that I didn’t tell him why I was crying. Being my dad and not knowing what to do about my emotions, he left the room and came back with $60 in cash, then laid it down next to my computer and left. Thanks, dad.

My dad would insist on reading us The Littlest Angel, and then he would cry Every. Single. Time.

I am doing a 30 Day Decluttering Challenge. I cleaned out my junk drawer and two kitchen cabinets. Today it’s apparently Sweat Your Balls off Day, so decluttering is delayed due to torpor.

I was diagnosed with sleep apnea last year at 51. Having the sleep apparatus has me waking up chipper and clearheaded after eight hours in bed/7 hours of sleep vs 9 hours in bed/4 hours sleep. I have lost 11 pounds, my cholesterol is down to a healthy level. It’s been a game changer. If you have a loved one who snores…

She won me over because her music is bomb. She can do no wrong in my book. I just love her.

**Taylor is cunning and petty and she plays the long game.**

fewer people in my way at disney parks? good!

She’s always been that type of woman who “doesn’t have any girlfriends, all my friends are guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Color me not shocked.

I hope everyone reads the piece in the Guardian by David Lammy, the MP for Tottenham. His wife was a friend of Khadija Saye and he makes a number of important points as to how this is corporate manslaughter and people need to be charged and held responsible for their actions.

I’m an entomologist and I work with that beautiful specimen you have pictured, Ae. aegypti. To maintain a colony in the lab, I will sometimes have to feed them by sticking my arm into a cage and letting them go to town. My best advice to avoid getting a reaction is to NOT SCRATCH no matter how much they itch. Once you…

Memory: The first year Tina Fey and Amy Poehler did the Golden Globes, they were doing “this or that” and the subject of “Which Chris?” was raised. Tina Fey, because she has excellent taste, screamed, “CHRIS PINE!!” and then looked slightly embarrassed.

I know people wil say I’m exaggerating, but it’s my firm belief that it’s this kind of thing that lay the grounds for normalizing victim-blaming in rape.

True story: One of my friends from college told me one of his most vivid memories of middle school was the time he got a raging boner because of the way the girl he had a crush on was breathing. It was making her boobs go up and down.

High school me would just have just said fuck it and chucked the bra. If you thought the straps were distracting wait until you see these G’s sway.
