I was adopted too and didn’t have a great upbringing and have a strained relationship with my adopted mother. Mother’s Day is always so fraught with so many feelings. But this year I’m going to focus on me as a mom and not as a daughter and spend the day with my kids doing what we want to do.

You are not a piece of shit.

I was adopted as a baby, and emancipated at 14 from my second family for these reasons. I find this time of year especially hard and it’s always good to know I am not alone in this.

My dad had to do this with not just his mother, but his two toxic sisters too. After his dad died, he had no tie to his side of the family any more. I remember we were constantly either not talking to them or, when we were talking, we were fighting. 10 years ago he said he was 100% done, and hasn’t spoken to them…

I think it’s ridiculous that I can’t so much as run into a post-office for stamps without shlepping two children along with me, but I have this perception that there are so many busy-bodies out there that would call 911 as soon as I locked the door that I feel like it’s better to just err on the side of…

OT- but Dave Foley was so, so pretty in the 90s

As non-disclosing people all over will attest this is its own identity and the identity deserves and needs its own champions in culture. Including…

I love Goldblum, but oh god, the little squeak when the dildos touched, I’m dying.

i’d also like to submit that jeff goldblum was the perfect addition to this sketch, rivaled only by the wigglyness of the dildos.

You have chosen a weird thing (guacamole) to be strident about.

Study says so, hormones say I don’t care, send me his number.

No, not all babies look the same. My niece is the cutest baby in the world so I know.

But the Queen was wearing a pink coat!

Totally normal with no complications.

Fuck all y’all I’ma come out on the streets like fucking Cleopatra and Xena made a Pharaoh Warrior Princess Baby and that baby is me.

HA. Yep. Came down here prior to reading the whole post just to denigrate flatforms. SO MUCH FUG. They're like: "I make you taller, but provide crap arch support and do nothing for your posture."
