Listen, if you’re on a plane and you don’t pop an Ambien and get drunk on tiny bottles of gin as soon as the drinks cart comes around, then you’re responsible for whatever aggravation you’re still awake to notice, not the crying kid.

I agree but if I'm being 100% honest - Scott is my favorite

If you can't think of anything nice to say don't say anything at all

The hat in my picture actually says “Wizzard” on it if you could blow up the image big enough.

I will star any and all Terry Pratchett-related comments.

As a kid in a conservative right wing world with guns o’ plent, it was always shocking to my brother/dad/cousins that I could out shoot them all. Well, until the navy seal in our church saw me shoot and said “of course she’s better than the boys, women’s are always better at shooting!” and then they stopped letting me…

I read an article about them! It was either in Bitch or in Bust. They seem awesome!

Harleys are definitely for rich people and are favored by dopey people (sorry, Harley lovers- your loud pipes suck). But most of the women I know who ride are riding vespas or motorcycles that aren’t too expensive. They’re looking for a way to get out and have fun with their friends, or something that makes their…

OK. I stand corrected. Ride safe and have a good time.

“To be a woman who loves hip-hop at times is to be in love with your abuser.”

Isn’t it so gosh-darned adorable you could just die?

My daughter was born 2 weeks after I turned 19 and I felt it was incredibly important for her to know I was her parent not her friend due to our chronological proximity. She’s 22 now and it gives me great joy to see her doing a all the fun stuff I couldn’t because I didn’t get to do it. But, I try to stay somewhat…

And now I’m thinking of all of the workers who have been killed trying to administer the polio vaccine. We are so close to eliminating polio, and we owe it to those who have given their lives.

A real thing that happened while shopping with my son, who was six at the time. I had Defcon 5 PMS, so I’m loading up with Oreos, ice cream, etc, and while I’m standing there debating getting two cans of Pringles, because I needed two different flavors, my son said Mom...I don’t think this is a good idea...

Desolation Sound is in British Columbia, off Vancouver island. It is inundated with entitled, new age yuppies in the summer who all seem to be allergic to red crunchy things.

It was already annoying being mixed and looking white without this “tragic faux-latto” bullshit in the news.

The problem I see (and I feel so republican saying it) is that they aren’t paying taxes. These kids will come back for high school and college (many of which will attend a state subsidized school) and the financial burden of paying for that will be on us. I see this as problematic because these are wealthy families,…

I have spent a lot of time in the tropics while doing fieldwork; we are talking super remote, Bornean jungle for weeks at a time, with endless sweat pouring out of your body. I couldn’t understand why after wearing a pad for a day or two the skin around my vagina started to get really sore to the touch. Then I…

Hey, I never did either! I fully admit that! Trust, I would LOVE to have a live-in nanny, and have the ability to go everywhere, child-free, all the time. I love my kid and all, but I have no delusions that he is universally loved. Shit, I'm his MOTHER and when I'm out and about, I wish it wasn't tethered to a baby.
