Exactly. Us militia men and our automatic weapons will easily defend ourselves from a government that can neutralize an inbound supersonic ballistic missle thread in 9 seconds, and drone bomb anything into oblivion.

I work for a med school. You only have to be very good at memorizing stuff and not faint when you see blood.

Yeah there definitely are, but it was nice to have when I was young. I still love the magic that took a color depending on who cast it!

Same here, I looooved those! Which is why I’m unreasonably angry that the author brought the series up as an example of a problematic princess trope without any explanation!

Then in 1980, there was Tamora Pierce’s Alanna: The First Adventure about a girl who disguises herself as a boy and takes her brother’s place in knight school.

Oh this is cool, I will have to try this recipe! Thank you for sharing!

The quote within the article is pretty misleading. If you actually take the time to watch the video, she says, “every woman’s nightmare” as she’s stepping on the scale, just before it reads the number 175. It’s the anticipation and fear of the unknown that she’s describing as the nightmare, not the specific number.

It does. Ironically, snipes in Scotland are one of my favorite birds!

I’m afraid that I might actually like this.

A genetic blood clotting disorder - protein S deficiency - runs in my husband’s family. He, his mother, both brothers and our daughter have it. All of the males have experienced at least two blood clots and are on lifelong blood thinners. My 29-year-old daughter hasn’t ever had any symptoms, but we had her tested as a…

I’m not a Beyoncé stan, but I did love Lemonade as a multimedia art piece. I kinda do love that she’s a soft spoken badass and, as an elder Millennial, I’ve grown up with Beyoncé. Everyone knew Destiny’s Child and their coordinated costumes made by Ms. Tina. I like that Beyoncé’s still around and dominant as a solo…

There's probably a very good reason she doesn't do many interviews. 

I LOVE when you get people who go into full spittle-spray anger over Beyonce and start regurgitating everything she’s ever done “wrong” and losing their equilibrium over her fans, which to them is anyone who even says a mildly complimentary thing about the woman and/or her music.

I might have found it, August 1991. Looking back one might not remember the date other than hot and in middle of America and there were 7 people on the plane.  

Of course it doesn’t matter to men because eventually the Cleaning Fairy comes by! Or if they live alone or with only male roommates, most men I know cheerfully maintain a level of filth that would get you arrested if you subjected a child or dog to it.

My husband always gets annoyed why I care so much about frantically cleaning the house before his mom or my mom visit. You hit the nail on the head - he won’t get judged, but I will. I think it also stems from seeing my mom freak out about cleaning when I was a kid before her mom visited. At the time, I thought she…

I’m really lucky. We try to split housework evenly but I’m really lazy and my husband ends up doing more than his share. This doesn’t bother him. It’s the people AROUND us who make it weird and constantly hint that it’s emasculating for him to do the bulk of the housework. It’s so frustrating—when he was living on his…

Seems like we’re heading full steam towards a repeat of 2016. Democrats are rallying around their preferred primary candidates and shitting all over the ones they don’t support. Whoever gets the nomination, I think we’re going to see a bunch of supporters of the other candidates staying home on election day, voting…

I learned the word nom de plume from Aladdin and expectorating from Beauty and the Beast. And then used them regularly in elementary school. I wasn’t a nerd with a superiority complex at all...

Any little step counts and frankly there’s nothing wrong with making people feel welcome. Men in the United States are generally not expected to take much interest in raising their children beyond providing for the family and being the “fun” parent.
