Yeah, I didn’t get the age well bit. Why must a woman become “deep” in order to “age well”?

nice little pick on the lips there. Jeeze. what kind of robot engagement is this?

you’re likely a MRA troll, but i’ll bite. you know that women have jobs and stress over finances and career options too, right? and women have to put EVERYTHING on hold right? please. women, as the main actors here, can discuss pregnancy however they damn well please and you’re just going to have to get over it.

Orwell approves

This is a great article to have on the heels of the news that the middle class is dying. Where are we going to live without cars?

Bingo. Source: lives in San Diego, works East Coast hours 20 miles from my house. Town where I work is one of the most expensive zip codes in California.

The comment you replied to is spot in in terms of Southern California. The price of housing is insane here, and having done the math, there’s still no contest between living farther afield vs giving up a car and living closer, in terms of price. Plus, even if most of us in SoCal lived close to work, it’s still not…

This is a fact of life in Southern California. No public transit and in many cases (mine and most of my coworkers) we live 20 miles from work. I also have a very specific schedule that doesn’t match up with traditional work hours. It kind of sucks! I can’t afford to live closer to my work though, and my husband works…

Maybe a combination of both. I feel like, on paper, I’d be a classic target Sedaris fan, but for whatever reason I just zone out whenever he tells stories. I get that his schtick is the real and mundane, but I don’t believe his stories half the time and I just find him a bit grating. He just reminds me of that guy at…

I think I’m the only person on earth who dislikes the Sedaris stories. I WANT to like, but I just can’t for some reason.

Big Radiolab junkie. BIIIIG Radiolab junkie. But their treatment of the Yellow Rain episode was jarring and uncomfortable, especially how they failed to rectify it after (even with the cooperation of the offended subject). That being said, I still want to be Jad Abumrad’s BFF.

I LOVE Snap Judgment. I think it goes even bleaker, although largely un-factchecked. I have been downright gutted by some of the stories. The guy who had to run meth to keep his family afloat and ended up in prison for life? The Croatian terrorist dupe!? Oh, man. Rough commutes home. I am also a Radiolab geek.

I LOVE TAL, but my true first loves are Snap Judgement and Radiolab. Any coddling you might get from TAL is pretty absent from Snap and some of the stories are downright jarring. There was one from a couple of months ago, in particular, that left me crying on the 5 while stuck in traffic. (yes, I’m a white liberal.…

I took an extravagant uber the other day because I had to come back to sleep at my parents’ house in the burbs outside NYC (it was Thanksgiving weekend - I promise I’m an adult). I didn’t want to take the train home alone at 4AM like my stupid drunk ass used to do when I was younger. So, OK. It was $100. That’s a lot…

have....you ever been to Europe? Or Asia? Or South America? Or anywhere that isn’t California?

Do you know anything about THC cartridges? Are they plagued with the same issues?

That interview was heartbreaking and incredible. And Josh Homme is my boyfriend*.

I certainly feel like an alien here, being a born-and-bred NYer, but I also thrive on that a little bit, to be honest. I don’t like feeling so far from home. That being said, the lifestyle is incredible, and I have found that SD is full of transplants, so people are generally more welcome and open to meeting new…
