I don’t understand why people who have so much contempt for kids go into education. It’s a hard fucking job and my kids get on my nerves all the time, but I love them so much despite that. Don’t be on a school if your drive to help the kids isn’t stronger than your own ego and temper.

He has definitely stepped up, the balance sheet just doesn’t work out for him to take over all the things. I can’t pull weeds any more + I take more of his time for other tasks + a few good rains = the yard is suddenly out of control. So now we’re getting a gardener. We’re figuring it out. It’s just feeling a bit…

I have a massage envy membership that I didn’t use for a long time. Have been getting a massage nearly every week for the past 2 months! It’s been glorious, and I really like the massage therapist.

Will do. I was feeling pretty good and then week 31 hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ll put my sister on setting up the meal train.

I haven’t even given birth yet (32 weeks) and all I want is for somebody to come over, bring me a casserole, and fold some laundry while I nap.

Oluo addressed this on her facebook page:

This comment just made me realize that I loved Casper so much because I had a blatant crush on Devon Sawa, and a super secret crush on Christina Rici. It was indeed a very important part of my sexual development.

And doesn’t understand that teenage girls, while fanatic, are fickle and grow up to be totally embarrassed of how obsessed they were with Devon Sawa or whatever. Just a random example.

“and now she’s terrified she will ... become a laughing stock.”

Uh ... that wouldn’t be a good joke no matter who the target was. That employer has some shitty social skills is racist.

So exciting! I’ve been wearing my hair natural for about 17 years now and can’t imagine going back, but the adjustment was difficult. Be patient, try different products and methods until you find what works for you, and enjoy the learning curve :)

I knew a Donna/Dauna (pronounced the same way) couple and they were super cute. So maybe it only applies if hey have the same name and spelling?

Exactly. He should have asked if she was into kink/BDSM first. Springing all that on someone makes me worry that he’s got control issues and doesn’t respect consent.

Be a teacher! Long summer vacations with alcohol! Best of both worlds if you’re not a capitalist tool ;)

That just sent me down a disturbing chain of thought. On the one hand, it would be pretty handy if I could just put an egg in an incubator and go about my normal life instead of being nauseous and constipated for nine months... but then what about periods? Would I be obligated to lay an egg every month? Every day!?!…

Also, by this logic, isn’t abortion god’s will? And birth control? I would love to hear what he’d say if someone challenged him on that.

I mean... I’m more likely to experience more mouth stuff on vacation so... Win/win

I feel like its so much more complicated with her though. Either the man she has always believed is her father, and who died suddenly when she was very young, was lying to her about being her father, or he wasn’t and she’s a white-passing biracial woman.

On the outside, it’s easy to say that we think it’s very likely…

I only just now, reading your comment, realized it said “talking” and not “taking.” Still, summer vacation is the best.

Absolutely. It just seems like a lot of Good White Liberals thing their kids will just know that this shit is terrible, despite how much fun it is in pop culture.
