When I worked at a kid’s bookstore I once had a customer ask if a book came “in a girl version,” because she didn’t want to give a girl the “boy version.” I must have looked at her like she had three heads, as I tried to explain that books aren’t sold in that fashion. She kept insisting that she could not buy a girl…

Cannot process nuance!

Honestly shocked the Sweater Weather tote isn’t from Modcloth.

I’ve contacted a few people to see if I can do a photo series of people who have had to use Planned Parenthood for all sorts of procedures. Will be tricky with HIPAA so it’ll be volunteer driven, but I have a feeling people who have used its services and are proud to have had that option will want to be in a project…

Being a single mother is not for the faint of heart, I tell you.

How to start your day like Mocena:

I’m basically Gollum when it comes to sunlight and I never realized how much I trust sunscreens to just...work. After a recent pay raise, I decided I can now afford to buy the good stuff (coola, supergoop). Most people buy a jazzy new car or take a vacation I’m buying spf 50.

You know what, I’m going to copy&paste a really good post I saw on Tumblr. Not my words, but I wish they were because they are so right.

I’m not a trophy hunter, so maybe I’m just ignorant about such things, but I don’t even understand his desire to shoot a big-ass elephant. He couldn’t bring home any “trophy” from such a kill, could he? Elephant ivory is illegal as shit in the US, is it not? What was he going to bring home? A picture and the warm,…

The man lives in Minnesota. He’s most likely hiding in his cabin. Or a friend’s cabin.

Pluto also has the same amount of Super Bowls wins as Minnesota.

What if my cat IS a fancy asshole? So, so fancy. And such an asshole.

The price is not the issue, J. Crew dudes. Lots of people (myself included) are fine with paying a little more for good quality items. The issue is that your good quality items have turned into shit quality items over the last few years. Does “budget friendly” now mean that things will unravel after 2 washes instead…

HEY THAT’S ME! I MADE THAT! True life, I cried a little bit when I got it in the mail, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen my father look at me with such pride.

Screw this! There’s only one natural direction for Oreos to go in: the Quadruple Stuffed Oreo. There will be no rest among the masses until this dream becomes a reality.

I’m just going to grab a seat and come back and stare at this for a little while longer.

You must be a FIB?

Many years ago, when I was young, I went to see a friend who was attending University of Wisconsin at Madison. It was Halloween weekend, and I was attending UT at the time, so I knew all about craziness at Halloween. Those people were insane. I am still shocked no one died that weekend. Morning until night alcohol.

Shirt-blindness is a side-effect of paternity

We had guinea pigs when we were growing up (as pets, never as meals). They were fucking disgusting and I have no idea how my mother put up with it. The best (though by no means only) story from our decade-long run as guinea pig owners occurred when we decided to let one of the males (Peanut Butter) bunk in with one of…
