Like most things, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. This is one of a million things that most moms-to-be aren’t warned about beforehand. Your postnatal ab status probably shouldn’t rank anywhere near “don’t drink a bottle of Cuervo during your second trimester” or “once the stick turns pink, go ahead…

.... I genuinely can’t tell if you’re being serious right now.

Mixed feelings so far. I like having some motivation to go places and do things. I don’t require a lot of direction, and enjoy the survival mode, but it’s nice to have at least the illusion of working toward something other than the inevitable decay of resources and repetition.

Big ol’ BBC P&P fan here, and my advisor in undergrad was an Austen scholar (who was always going on about how much more sex and darkness there was in Austen than the work gets credit for). I don’t like the Keira Knightley version because, I guess due to time constraints or an assumption that their audience wouldn’t…

Unpopular opinion; I actually love the Keira Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice because the actors were all the right age for once, the costumes and settings looked lived in and realisticly kept, it’s beautifully shot, the soundtrack is wonderful and they showed a shyer side of Darcy. I actually wish it was…

One of my parents is literally his same age. So yeah, old to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

I am usually NEVER into old guys, being in my mid-30s. It weirds me out dating someone in the same general as my parents. But Slattery? Does it for me. I have no idea why, but yeah...I totally would. *whispers* him and Soldier: 76 from Overwatch are my only exceptions.

Yaaaasss!

The real question here is whether there will be a character that wears glasses with flip down shades.

Yes, your post was totally helpful and insightful.

I can’t even begin to unravel this knot or how I feel about/fit into it. In early middle age I found myself getting fatter until I was finally obese and getting obese-er. I was in great shape, healthy as a horse, could bike and run and stuff, and I sincerely felt okay with who I was and the body I had. But I also knew…

It’s sort of crazy, because on one hand, orthorexia is absolutely a Thing now, but on the other hand, with the amount of highly-processed, calorie-dense, nutrient-sparse, preservative-packed, junky and just generally unhealthy food that’s available to us at all times, it takes real effort to feed yourself on a diet…

I remember reading an article back in the 1980s, when Jane Fonda’s workout videos were all the rage (I had two of them!), in which a nutritionist pointed out that Jane Fonda looked like that because her genes made her look like that. It was very depressing to a plump 15-year-old, who desperately wanted to look like…

He would have an exciting new Twitter strategy for Trump:

Omg, malcolm would destroy Trump.

No one’s invincible in this White House.

I really just don’t have any patience for these one-child-policy distopian futures anymore. I’m living in a world where the first step to population control, easy access to birth control, is constantly being obstructed by people far dumber and more evil than the birth bureaucracy up there. Did we ever try the pills…
