Look, I love babies. I like moms (some of them). But if I was invited to speak in from of hundreds of people, do a book signing, and participate in an intense professional conference, I’d arrange for child care for the day. No, you can’t bring your baby to work, sorry. That includes adjunct teaching. Advocate for…

Says someone who hasn’t been married for 25 years to a spouse that they deeply love with a gaggle of kids. You can’t take your life experience and think it somehow is a blanket truth about humanity and relationships for everyone, everywhere.

Ugh millennials think they invented everything.

Viktor and Rolf already did this whole “deconstructed shirt” thing and did it better and with a lot more skillful execution. We've seen all this before.

I’m vaguely team settler-jogger bc honestly even white people hate yuppies with giant strollers who pay too much for housing.

Science!

I’m amazed that anyone ever would use Uber. I would not use Uber and I am a tall and well-built man who could possibly look maybe sort of intimidating under the right circumstances. I am suspicious of the life-skills of anyone who relies on Uber, to be quite frank.

Uber is so crazy risky. I have very mixed feelings about it but there was this one hilarious time I was meeting friends at a bar and as I was looking for a place to park, one of my tipsy friends jumped in my backseat and said, “Are you my Uber?”

I used to teach elementary art in a really low-income school district near Denver. One student, Franklin, was a third-grader who was homeless and living in a car with his mother at the time. The district and social services were aware and helping as much as possible, but mom was hard to work with due to some ongoing…

I’ve been to three funerals in my life, but my great grandmother’s funeral when I was seventeen has to be the weirdest/most uncomfortable one of them all.

No. Women who sound like this sound terrible. I can’t speak for anyone else, but it ain’t just the bros. Women who speak like this may come across as uniformed and unintelligent in a professional setting. Trust, as someone who is well versed in code switching, its fine to sound like a Kardashian amongst your friends.…

As someone in a really “not great” period of marriage right now, I have to confess I hate hearing “Marriage is hard!” or “Marriage is work!” - how hard is it really supposed to be? How much work is too much work? I know all relationships are hard work - but at what point can you look at something and say “This is more…

I like to think I’m capable of taking the mental high road and not thinking about my ex once I get engaged....but he’s such a smug, egocentric, self promoting shithead that I just reallllly want to get engaged before him. It’s so petty, but we’re both in long term relationships now and I juuuuust want to be the one to…

I’d love to know peoples’ opinions on the following: Should you give your exes a heads up before you announce your engagement to the world (ie via facebook)? Is this the polite thing to do, or unnecessary?

This is dating myself but... when I was 10 years old my mother moved us from Philly to Westwood Ca. (a whole ‘nother story but it was actually a case of custodial interference.) Our neighbor in in the Melrose place looking complex was Barbara Barry. She played Gavin Mcleod’s wife on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”. She…

Not really. My grandfather and uncles died before I was born. I liked a few of my mother’s boyfriends but they never really stuck around long enough for me to see them as father figures (and maybe this is because I was just so used to not having one).

The best part is, the same white people moving into those bklyn buildings paying the 2000 dollar rent are most likely Lilly white yuppie jez commenters who know that they are helping displace POC tenants, but at the end of the day they don’t really give a fuck.

this. 9 months post partum, down 2 jean sizes but somehow up 10 lbs? wishing for your “pre pregnancy body” is like thinking if I drive my Honda long enough it will turn into a Porsche. If you need me, I’ll be over here polishing my honda and vacuuming crumbs out from between the seats.

Yes, it is that relentless. Though decidedly less glamorous than even this unglamorous insta pic makes it look. It’s also awesome if you’re at a place in your life where you can mentally/emotionally/physically/financially handle it, which rarely ever happens all at once to anyone who’s not rich or famous, so, maybe…
