It’s an extremely open question as to what happened to the boys, but Richard III having them killed remains by far the the most likely answer. The claim that they were illegitimate was always dubious, to say the least, and their existence absolutely WAS a threat to Richard’s claim on the throne.

“The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints” is the title, so yes — they’ve been referring to themselves as “The Saints” since the earliest days of its founding.

I thought so many of these things before I had kids too, but I have to warn you, kid karma is so freaking real. Anything you judge another parent for, your kid will most definitely do to you in some form or another. Now as long as they aren’t hurting themselves or another kid, I let other people’s kids’ behavior go.…

Dietary laws are not about science or health or anything else. They’re about reminding you of what you believe. If you’re an observant Jew, there are some things you don’t do, and some ways you do things that make you distinctive. If you’re an observant Latter-day Saint, there are some things you don’t do, and some…

Yeah, my mom, who was a Utah Mormon, said that the no caffeine rule was a guideline to healthy living, not a hard and fast rule. Of course, she did love her coffee and Pepsi. She said the Texas wards were way too serious about the no caffeine thing.

THIS.

To be fair to your mom, sweaty clothes never smell good, but NOTHING smells worse than sweat from a teenaged boy. How do they get so smelly? One of life’s mysteries. (I’m sure it’s something to do with pH balance or something.)

You don’t undo a lifetime of indoctrination in one day and it’s not just because you’re making money off it. It’s not just beliefs and a church he had to disentangle from, it was probably the majority of his close friendships and even family. From the sounds of it, it ended his marriage. And yeah, it was also his…

Meth gonna Gresham.

Obligatory: Not all male lions.

A chopped kale caesar salad. Joe Biden, whole, roasted.

You were nice enough to group them together, so:

My husband’s response to housework stress is to tell me it doesn’t matter and I should just let it go.  Definitely a privilege blind spot for him.  

“ How people view messiness and cleanliness is also gendered, with women penalized for not being clean.”

Even when men do contribute to household labor, tired gender dynamics still play out: men do the outdoor chores (lawn mowing) and women do the indoor chores (dish-washing, vacuuming—you know, all the work that needs to be done regularly.)

I’m very glad this is the last season. I think there are only so many places they can do with this story that aren’t super repetitive..

I don’t think anyone is making blanket statements about mental health here, but it is a good point to make: it’s a private struggle that only that person knows.  We can watch, we can support, we can aid where possible, but ultimately it isn’t up to us.

What’s really weird is the whole story of how Punky came to live with Henry Warnimont. Her mom abandoned her at a mall and of course it just makes sense to let the single old male photographer with poor social skills take in a young girl. What could possibly go wrong? They took the first three minutes of a Law &…
