This is a private ultra-Christian school, right? I’m not surprised by their actions at all. Hell, I went to a large, public high school in the suburbs and pregnant girls weren’t allowed to keep attending once they started to show, on the grounds that it was ‘disruptive’. They had to go to this sad continuation school…

yes it is and I AM HERE FOR IT

Okay fucking thank you because my husband and I have had that same goddamn argument about the heat/ac ‘turn it up’ vs ‘turn it down’ thing so many times and now I have An Authority Figure to back me up. I’d like to get a ruling on saying ‘put it up’ when you mean ‘put it away’.

In all fairness, it may not have had anything to do with your friend’s weight. Plan B is only 80-something percent effective even when used perfectly. I got pregnant after using Plan B and I was well under the weight limit at the time.

Wonder how many traffic tickets you’ve gotten this year?

I live in Shaker, and I’m familiar with the facility she’s being transferred to. It’s a pretty nice place staffed with kind, dedicated people. If she can’t be free at least she’ll be treated with care and compassion and hopefully when she’s out she’ll be able to move on with her life as a healthy, stable girl. She’s…

You’re prooooobably gonna get a lot of flak, but I gotta say I agree with you 100%. In the 16 years I’ve been driving, I’ve never gotten a single traffic ticket. It’s not hard. If your financial situation is so precarious you can’t afford to pay a traffic ticket, then don’t break traffic laws. If you don’t have car…

I just don’t understand the obsessive hand-wringing and worry about marriage that this author seems to have experienced. If you’re sick with worry about your marriage not working out, then don’t get married. If you’re obsessed with the idea that divorce is a terrible failure, don’t get married. It’s not rocket…

Oh, him escaping his room in the early morning and sowing chaos across the house was a BIG issue until about a year and a half ago. He’s now six and a half, and finishing up kindergarten, so he’s really into being A Responsible Big Kid. He gets up before us and puts on cartoons or plays a game on his tablet, and gets…

Ah yes thank you, I barely ever use the twitter but apparently I damn well should be.

Alright alright alright how do I get in on this? Who do I follow?

I mean, it’s a total catch-22. Personally, I had my kid when I was 26 and I feel like it was the perfect age. I’d graduated college, had a few years of irresponsible party fun times, and dated enough to know when I’d found a good partner. All my friends thought I was nuts. Now, we’re in our early 30's and they are…

I just finished reading the Vulture piece today and as someone who was REALLY into the Strokes and all the early aughts hipster ‘the’ bands, I found it incredibly entertaining. I also find it hilarious that they all hate Ryan Adams and blame him for everything. It was all so bitchy.

He was, and you better believe I gave it to him, bow chicka-wow wowwwww!!

It was absolutely deliberate. When a guy’s dick shows through his pants, he’s aware of it.

I love that you can actually SEE her accent when she talks. I don’t even need sound on the video. to know EXACTLY what she sounds like.

I was too young when we moved to remember Savannah, but I would like to go back at some point. As an adult I’ve lived in Raleigh, which is....fine, and a really, really small (pop. under 2k) farm town in the middle of nowhere in rural northern Florida. We’re now back in Cleveland and I couldn’t be happier. People keep…

Right? I mean, I’m not an idiot, I know that live oaks and rolling fields and spanish moss and big houses with columns and all that are of course objectively beautiful, but how anyone can ignore the fact that they were literally built with the blood and tears of enslaved people is beyond me.

Right, it was TOTALLY about economics in that the slave-dependent agricultural economy of the south would collapse if slavery were abolished.

The ‘the civil war wasn’t about slavery, it was about economics’ thing is such an incredible, amazing delusion, and it’s one you will hear repeated by SO MANY southerners of all ages, including people who still refer to the civil war as the war of northern aggression. It’s a delusion that’s been handed down and…
