I love the phrase “emergency makeup.” The camera on my phone defaults to selfie mode, so I frequently get a surprise close up of myself looking terrible. I am going to start shouting “emergency! makeup!” when this happens.

Yes! The more pregnant I got, and then marooned on the sofa on bed rest, the more I read outdoor adventure blogs about skiing and backcountry camping. I had no desire to read about Mommying. And I am a sahm! No regrets.

i just don’t think John Mullaney is that hot, though, you know? Maybe if he tried harder he would be prettier. /s

“I slipped on pee pee at the Costco.”

personality goes a long way!

That will be one charming motherfucking pig! (apols to Pulp Fiction)

Your love for your Dad shines through, and I hope taking care of him is not too draining on you. <3 Also, could he be president please, instead of Trump? k thx

Agree esp re NextDoor. My neighbors just appalled me with their paranoid racism, like posts about chasing ”kids who don’t look like they belong around here” out of the neighborhood. This was an adult man proudly reporting tailing, in a truck, teenagers who were on foot. NextDoor tolerates and even encourages these…

Mine thinks I control the rain. When it rains, she looks at me expectantly, waiting for me to fix it. Maybe I’m Xenu?

I got a blank check baby/You write your name!

i was so glad to discover, through the report of an acquaintance who bas transitioned, that my local (Texas Bible belt suburbs) ULTA is trans friendly. She feels happy and safe there. So I try to throw $ at them whenever I can, even though I am ALL THE BROKE. It matters to me, because I have that white, hetero, cis…

This is why I love the elderly Baby Boomers in my family, my parents and their siblings and spouses (18 Boomers total) even though many of them are weird and boring and effed up on a personal level. They are white, successful, and outspoken liberals. Always. I like to joke with my cousins that we did a good job…

Why? Conservative white women don’t listen to me, and never have. I’ve lived in the Bible Belt almost my whole voting life, and I’m an out liberal and proud. My neighbors probably think I’m “complicit” with heartlessly murdering fetuses and encouraging dark skinned “thugs” to shoot cops. Spoiler alert: I am. I was…

No. I’m a white woman, lifelong liberal activist, I was the only “out” pro choice student in a Catholic school in the 1980s, I campaigned for Hillary in a red state. In 2008 and 2016. I stood with Wendy. I’m not complicit in Trump’s victory. I’m not saying this because it’s insulting, but because there is nothing I…

IKR! if I were Kimmel I would have said, “oh, my God! Are your children ok? Is there any thing I can do? You can stay with me. I’ll help you pay for a lawyer...I’ll hid you from the police...” in total seriousness. Because I certainly wouldn’t tolerate anyone violating Tim Allen’s human rights, confiscating his…

What makes me saddest is, they handed over their i.d.s, and- I don’t blame them. It’s so easy to be intimidated by an angry racist stranger, and just try to get along, until you can physically distance yourself. I would have been afraid, with such a bizarre request, that he was very unhinged and had a weapon. Or that…

And understand their economic whatsamajiggers.

Was coming here to say this.

I agree. I don’t believe in fed OR state coercion or exclusion. So I don’t think Tom Price’s position is good. I suspect he is saying it’s a state issue not a federal one, not for health Science reasons, but because that is simply what Republican hacks say about everything they want to weaken. Certainly Federal…

It is if they weren’t brainwashed to believe the same things about themselves, based on their gender. He was brainwashed to believe he was special and forgivable and entitled. She was brainwashed to believe she owed men obedience in all things, and that she was a source of sexual shame.
