I remember sitting in the Times Square McDonald’s, eating pancakes and people-watching during the morning rush hour. My family of seven and I would have loved to explore the awesome restaurants, but my parents had saved like crazy just to get us to NYC in the first place — we were thrilled to visit the Met, the…

No, see, once it’s been completed, there’s no reason to shoot them because you’re no longer able to rely on “self-defense.” That’d just be revenge, which didn’t go so well for Cynthia Brown. And before it’s formally begun, there’s no justification for shooting them, because you’re just being a hysterical woman at that…

I was able to turn my baby from breech later in the third trimester using a ridiculous sort of upside-down-plank thing (google can explain it better), but I ended up electing for a c-section partway through my unmedicated labor anyway. It was the right choice for me and baby, and I feel good about it. Then again, I…

No, but you generally leave disposable diapers in the airplane bathroom trash can (after placing them in a barf bag and sealing it), rather than bringing them back to your seat. ;)

FWIW, I was terrified of flying with my baby (at 5 months, 6 months, and 8 months). I encountered a lot of overt kindness and no overt assholery — if people were thinking unkind thoughts, they politely kept them to themselves.

I do everything I can to keep my baby calm on an airplane, since I can’t choose to leave my baby behind.

I had some very sweet ladies help calm my baby down by playing peekaboo and pulling faces. It was a great distraction, especially during turbulence/during takeoff and landing (when babies are most likely to experience ear pain). If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work! No harm, no foul. :)

I traveled internationally with an infant three times in three months (about 72 hours of travel, in total).

Him: How about [name]?

I originally intended to do a book/insect-themed nursery regardless of gender (centered around Very Hungry Caterpillar; it made sense in my head), and most people I told were surprisingly fine with that — because they interpreted that to mean that if I was having a girl I’d lean heavily into ladybugs and bumblebees…

This sounds like a “My Father’s Dragon” theme and I am Here For It.

This sounds gorgeous.

Well that’s because all whales are male and reproduce asexually, obviously, whereas dolphins are girly because they’re all girls and do the same. It’s just science!

Hm, it’s showing up as $28.40 for me.

I remember finding her distractingly pretty on Samantha Who?.

Weren’t some of those rumors in response to a chronic illness she had? (Maybe ... Crohns? Celiac?) I recall reading something about how her disease made it impossible to work the long hours demanded of actors, and rather than try to accommodate her diagnosis they just smeared her for being “difficult.”

Are you working for Big Dairy? Because if so, you deserve a raise. That is a perfectly revolting description of oat milk.

Baby coconuts must love it!

Ugh, too tempting. I picked up a pair of mid-rise skinnies when Everlane was doing their $40 denim day, and I hate that they’re my favorite pair of jeans. (Hate because they’re expensive, ofc.)

I’m sorry to be the bearer of bummer news, but ... you probably can’t do much. If it’s persistent (not just when you wake up in the morning or after a really rough night), then it likely has to do with either (1) the thinness of your undereye skin letting the underlying coloration peek through (our skin thins as we…
