Yeah I’m mid-30s and I thought I’d just magically want to do the whole kid thing by now. Feel exactly as indifferent as I always have, so I guess the biological clock is a myth.

Yeah social media didn’t start it for me, it just means I’ve heard the same stories from a lot more women than I would have if it was all in person. Changing social norms means I hear stories from my friends and coworkers, changing technology means I also hear it from everyone I got along with at a party and thought…

Trying to edit my comment but it’s not letting me... what I meant to put was “so sorry for your family” but auto-correct apparently knows I spend more time with my friends than my family. Sorry so much for your loss.

So sorry for your mom and your family. That’s a tragedy.

I think you should develop a TV pilot based on this story.

I feel pretty lucky that both social norms and social media mean I’ve heard WAY more detail about the experience than people in previous generations did before they made the choice. I’m impressed and amazed by people who do it, but it gave me the info to be like “ohhhh yeah, I am not a person who could handle that…

Tocophobia! There’s a name for it! This is fantastic news, I feel immediately less insane. I was on the fence about having kids (at least bio kids) until I realized that I am completely terrified by the prospect of pregnancy and birthing and would probably spend 9 straight months in an absolute terror and with no…

Yes. Drunk music video watching is 98.9% of my YouTube activity.

She might also shift her demographic... I’m older than her current core audience but not by much. Too old to bother with YouTube shows, but too young to bother with traditional TV. I watch Seth Meyers nearly every day through the NBC website. They don’t get any subscription $ from me because I’m not paying them for…

She was a White House aide at 22. You don’t get that internship unless you’re a very smart, very driven person. (I mean, if you know somebody who knows somebody that’s one thing. But if you get in on merit, as she did, it says something). She wouldn’t have been famous otherwise, but that doesn’t seem like what she…

I had a nasty bout of insomnia last night so I started reading the indictment half out of curiosity and half hoping it would put me to sleep. It didn’t so I made it through nearly the whole thing... it seems very case by case. Some of the kids knew 100% of what was going on, some were suspicious and upset about it,…

This has always been my sticking point with Bernie. I’m a white lady, so a lot of his myopia is lost on me, but I’m smart enough to trust the people around me who are living it. Like if I’m at a bar and someone’s being creepy, I will tell my male friends “we have to leave NOW” and they know to just trust me and get…

There’s actually a lot involved here about how women police ourselves, police each other, etc. I watched the full interview despite having never watched an episode of the Kardashian’s thing, and it was actually thought provoking. Not like anything ground-breaking was said, but it brought me back to being around that…

This has happened to me (and friends) many times. To the point when my blood work finally came back wonky recently I felt so much relief because once they see numbers they sit up and pay attention. It’s nuts to have a system where I’m glad to get bad results.

When he apologized to Shirley’s family, he said specifically that he did what he could with the material he was given.

Oh goodness my boyfriend at 19 pulled the same thing. And he never even came clean, eventually his best friend told me in an effort to get in my pants. Not fun at all.

And then they hate on you for not having joy in your life. (Wait who’s bitter? Me?!)

Whoa she’s got her skin tone extremely altered in that photo...

Oh goodness no. Bernie does not get any points outside of his super-white base. He has been tone deaf about race issues all along.

This woman sounds horrible but that threat gave me a pit in my stomach. I truly wish that we could find a better option for non-violent crimes. 30 years in hell is an absolutely extreme reaction.
