When you’re pregnant and people ask how you’re doing, they don’t like it when you answer “you know, I’m a little tired, a little achy, oh! and whenever I’m on a train platform, I force myself to stand in the exact middle until the train stops, so I don't jump." The feelings of isolation are real, and there's a…

“Because that is what is working for their family right now. It’s none of our business why.”

A - fucking - men! Twenty years ago, with the camera/lighting juuuust right, my face looked round and cute. Most pictures from that time, though, are potato face. Now, in early middle age, every day is a good face day.

That’s a trip, as, in some cases, this can be the EXACT SAME DRUG. Progestin (plan B) can delay ovulation, preventing you from becoming pregnant. BUT! if you are prone to miscarriage, you can also take progestin in order to stay pregnant.

McPherson’s “Battle Cry of Freedom” did a lot of good clearing the decks of a lot of states’ rights bullshit 30+ years ago. I read it 20 years ago, and even then my…

I had the same thought. I cleaned up and sold a mid-century chair that the previous owner had left in the basement of our house, so I presume that is self-gentrification.

Our family has a 100% mask on policy for a reason. Namely, our kids are friendly germ factories and we don’t need to endanger anyone else trying to enjoy the outdoors. I realize the chances of this are slim and growing slimmer, but it still seems courteous thing to do.

Total fucking idiots, 

Not that this is totally the point, but doesn’t first person with a right to post the photo or take it down grandma, since by default photo rights belong to the person who push the button? 

“We can’t be racist! Great grandad was Emperor of India! You can’t be the heir of an Indian emperor and be racist.”

same. Oprah said it wasn’t the grandparents. Charles would have stopped the wedding in the first place. William is really the only one left who could be embarrassed by this.

But if Ledford HAD left Cawthorn there, Cawthorn would not be alive to lie about his best friend. Truly, an O. Henry story for our age.

Quick question about her face - is that filler? surgery? stung by a thousand angry bees? I know it is not really nice to ask, but I am genuinely curious.

The scare quotes are simply there to tell that she is as ignorant of punctuation as she is of science

A lot of things are weighing on me right now, but the burden of excessive leg fabric is not one them.

Locking arms in solidarity.
