I find The Rock’s constant ebullience endearing. This birth announcement is totally in line with that. ❤️

I love The Rock and I needed to hear something positive today. Congrats to them and their cute as hell little girl.

“Beanie Feldstein” is the best name I’ve heard in a long, long time. It’s the name we need these days.

oh I have no doubt about that. I’m not taking a flight with my kids solo to get a shining gold star for passenger of the year. I was silently cursing, sweating, and uncomfortable the whole time with anxiety and fear. I did the best I could by myself. I also understand that its no one else’s issue that I was flying…

Quick check: I have a Master’s degree in genetics, a second-place finish in the city spelling bee (6th grade division), I wrote a guide to NZ citizenship, and I can play “Just Can’t Get Enough” on my old Farfisa organ. Should I be able to breastfeed on a plane without getting kicked off?

cool the troll is here.

Totally agree. It doesn’t matter if someone has a degree in molecular biology, is a teacher, is a postal worker, a barista, whatever. I hate that bullshit.

Ok, but this:

Sometimes babies need to go places, too. You sound like my roommate when she says children don’t belong on the subway.

I get that they had to strap down for safety (and this is something I can see being inflexible about) but she did do that and crying babies are just something that we have to deal with to the best of our ability.

Just a heads up people: Jorni is a troll who started a new account so you can’t see their history.

Here’s a comment from their old account about August Ames suicide:

It actually is one of the better troll techniques out there, so ill give them credit for spending way too much time on the Internet.

Please, please for the love of brie and a fine wine, no one bring out Jorni. This commenter has multiple burners that star and respond to their posts in an effort to try and bait an approved commenter to ungrey them. Then they go to all hell.

Those Christmas decorations. Not to my taste. Almost certainly overpriced. However, I would definitely shell out for someone to take down and put away my decorations come January, so...fair enough, Kylie.

Catalina has been doing great! We went for some checkups last week and all things considered she’s meeting milestones in acceptable times. We confirmed she has perfectly normal hearing, which is awesome, and now I know she just likes to ignore us!

 Feeling pretty freaking proud of myself!

A toast to the badass firefighters and first responders here in San Diego fighting our wildfire. Though we lost quite a few homes many more were saved because of them. One firefighter even dislocated his shoulder in a propane tank explosion, put it back in, and went back to work. So many of my friends were…

It always bugs me when something so serious is included in DirtBag.

Actually, I think I do need this.
