Oof, lakes are rough. If I can have any say in it, my daughter’s banned from boats for life.

It was a blast from the past, no? Back when disgusting behaviors toward pets could derail a presidential campaign. That shit looks positively quaint now.

Heeeey there! I miss you bb! How are you? I’m alive and well, I just quit Jez, and barely post anywhere else anymore. This spring break post ~speaks~ to me though.

Shit, I knew it. Should’ve learned from Mitt Romney.

This spring break we decided to bite the bullet and go to Silver Dollar City. We spent 2 days in the absolutely delightful megalopolis that is Branson, Missouri. Unbeknownst to me, my 8-year old now gets carsick in long drives, and 20 minutes into our trip she barfs all over the car. On our way back we dutifully give…

Loving the way sunscreen goes on your skin is the best piece of advice, because you’ll actually look forward to putting it on. I only get that feeling from Japanese sunscreens, which have a delightful watery texture and disappear into my skin - besides working like a charm.

Thank you for this. You’ve articulated the conundrum of every immigrant beautifully. I’m a Brazilian citizen living in the US and as an immigrant I find my identity constantly in flux. A quote I found on a wall of the Museum of Immigration gave me the perspective this is an almost universal feeling among immigrants:

I’ve just finished listening to his audiobook - it was my first ever. I can’t recommend it enough.

THANK YOU. Thank you so much for putting my annoyance into words. Dude was a world class athlete, he’s handsome AF, but last night I caught myself thinking “it must suck being his wife, I can’t imagine talking to someone this boring for the rest of my life”. You nailed it.

I’m glad people are bringing up the racist undertones and motivations of many of our Carnival traditions, but the truth is Brazil is light-years behind other more developed societies in recognizing and addressing its prejudices and biases. Things are bad here in the US, that’s true, but at least people can see racism…

Me too. And I like him! But his bias was fucking shameless.

It is. Especially if you consider Collinsworth and Michael’s could barely conceal their hard-on for the Patriots and Brady.

I’ve been living in the US for 5 years now but every season I miss the awesome work the commentators at ESPN Brasil do during the games.

Last November I vowed to run a 5k in the first semester of this year. Then the flu came and my plans unraveled. I literally just got back from my first couch to 5k run of the year, and then I saw this story. This woman is an inspiration to us all, and thanks to stories like hers I feel more pumped than ever!

Thank you for your article and for sharing your story. I’m sorry this happened to you, and that this happens so often to so many of us. People were so quick to criticize Grace for hijacking the current movement, saying her distress and her account weren’t rapey enough to merit attention. I’m of the opposite opinion:…

The worst place was certainly a very expensive-looking area rug. It was a party, I was shit faced, and it just... Came out. The next morning, the rug was not there. It was mortifying because I was a guest at some dude’s house in the countryside, and his family (who I’d never met before) was there too. And this random…

Nothing can be more blind or deaf than a man who has already decided, before even leaving his house to meet up with a woman, that he is getting laid that night.

Heeeyyyy! I’m glad you had a good time! Ilhabela is truly beautiful, I have friends who just up and moved there because they couldn’t stay away. Thanks for checking back, I hope you get to visit as much as you’d like! :-D

Kudos to you for taking that step towards your well-being. The decision to go the surgical route is never easy or means the patient is lazy or weak-willed. And life post-op is not all sunshine and rainbows - there are psychological issues that have to be addressed in the long-term, as you stated, but also possible…

I think parents grapple with this more and more. Kids are becoming more exposed to the outside world early, they go on YouTube and Netflix, they carry iPads around... And even if you manage to enforce some limits (and parental controls) at home, they go to school and hear all kinds of shit from their classmates. It’s…
