You know, I just responded and said that the article didn’t necessarily call for an apology—but your comment is a genuinely good criticism. Instead of just grabbing a clatch of hacker buds, they could’ve found another way to frame the entire article—because it’s not clear from the article what makes the guys profiled…

I (a woman) actually went to Northeastern for computer science, graduated in 1998. There were some women there and they were ass kickers, and that was 20 years ago. So this is all more of the same shit where you’re not part of the story, as if the world didn’t have enough success stories about awkward mostly-white…

Yea I’m extremely HoH. Mostly Deaf. Even with hearing aids I cannot follow a speaking conversation unless it’s family members that I’m use to lip reading. I always get a CC device at the theater and coincidentally, when I took my daughters to see Beauty and the Beast, the device didn’t work. My eldest daughter had to…

I flew 20 segments this yea. There is nothing wrong with reclining because the seats do not actually recline. As long as you’re not popping back and forth every 2 seconds disturbing my tray table, recline away friends.

This is why I laugh at the sad people smugly saying Bernie would have won if he had gotten the nom. He never had this smear cannon pointed in his direction. He would have buried under 20 tons of shit, and the fact that a few ounces were true (more ounces than HRC) would not have helped at all.

She Can Drool It!

My daughter said she wanted to be a princess. I said why not a queen?

Welp, here’s my baby as Rosie the Riveter again. Spit bubbles and all!

Trying pose my son in his first Halloween costume, and he was not happy. That it is out of focus, makes this photo even better. I call this his dejected pumpkin costume.

Story 1: So, let me offer the following backstory: I’m lactose intolerant. That’s it, that’s the whole backstory.

So, just so we are clear here is a quick summary of Tammy Duckworth’s life:

But was the Planned Parenthood pink dress Clinton wore at the Catholic dinner shade? I like to think it is.

I think she’s had practice.

As with EVERY SINGLE LITTLE THING that is a part of parenting, sleeping and sleep training is different for every family and every child. I’m a big believer in do what works for you and your kid and fuck any and everyone else. Little Nobody co-slept with us until 3 years ago (she’s 10)—it just worked for us as a…

As we get older, and realize more and more how ugly the world is, we slowly stop seeing the beauty and lose our fascination with life. I still remember learning about the Holocaust and slavery, and feeling that shadow move in.

This whole piece, and especially that quote, really struck a chord with me. I grew up in a working class family and attended an elementary school in a predominately black and Latino neighborhood in Los Angeles. I earned a scholarship for all four years to a prestigious, private all girls high school. During my time…

I understand that strategy, but how is this viable in the long run?

I appreciate your compassion. I have always been pro-choice, but for years, looking back, I can see that in my heart I was also always somewhat skeptical of why you would need to have an abortion after 20 weeks; I guess my not very articulated thinking would have gone: why didn’t you get tested? Having now had an…

I just want to highlight this passage for anyone who skims or just jumps to the comments. Because truer words.

One of my friends (a white girl herself) is forever trying to establish herself as the Most Woke White Girl by shitting all over white women and pretending it’s challenging racism. She doesn’t know it yet, but it’s actually lost her a few positions in local activist organizations. As in, we’re close friends and I…
