Samoas are good, but they are not the best. Kate, Jia, and Emma are wrong.

I think I just had an episode of shade PTSD — my paternal grandma was that MIL. Until the day she died, she reminded my mother every chance she got, that mom had stolen grandma's golden boy, miracle baby, and only child away from her — and he would never love anyone more than his mother. She outlasted his first wife,…

Ah, OK. Thanks for the sharing.

Question for the legal eagles: What's with the extra day on her sentence? I feel like you hear this "x years and one day" fairly often, and I've always wondered why the extra day? Just curious...

Gah! No one can show this to my SO. He has a weird curiosity about breast milk already. Every time we a woman breastfeeding he's all like, "I just want to know what it tastes like!" We do not want to encourage this.

Yes it was. (And having gone to Sarah Lawrence myself, I will never stop loving that movie.)

They do realize that not talking about American history doesn't actually change American history, right?

Swag brag/alert: A couple weeks ago I got a pair of ankle length NYDJ jeans at TJ Maxx, on clearance (I didn't know their rep, but they're MADE IN THE USA and they were cheap and fit and they're freakin' comfortable as hell — I'm actually wearing them now, although I do wish I bought a size down). If I remember…

The giveaway deal with PhRMA was the biggest boondoggle of the entire ACA. That being said, I sill get a little teary eyed when I go to pay for my bc and they remind me its free.

The look on Nori's face, coveting whatever that is in Beyonce's lap is beyond adorable! You know a second later she was all it. "It's bright! It's fluffy! I have to touch it NOOOOW!"

Yeah, that's really not on. I wouldn't do it if it weren't actually true, because yeah, that's kind of dickish. I really just want to watch everyone speculate. Maybe that makes me slightly terrible? (Sorry, not sorry.)

Do it! That's pretty much exactly the scenario we're in. Plus, when else do you get to troll your nearest and dearest knowing no one can actually get mad about it?

Shoulda gone with Circle of Fifths, duh! .

I'm 90% sure we're gonna go ahead and announce our very real engagement on April 1st. Just post it up on FB, etc. without commentary and watch people speculate. I mean, we've been together forever and we decided we were in it to win it months ago, so why not have some fun with it?

Yes! My knitting-fanatic mom did this! I wish I could find the pics she sent me of the actual sweaters she knitted. They were adooooorable.

East Coaster here — I did but only because I took AP US history and was lucky enough to have a very progressive teacher who didn't shy away from the "ugly" stuff, and assigned A People's History as one of our textbooks. Generally speaking though, if you talk to East Coast kids the, the entirety of Chicano history in…

My boyfriend and I were playing the "name a major country/institution/ethnicity that has never been a bad actor" game the other day. We honestly couldn't come up with anyone who doesn't have blood on their hands. Humans are the worst.

Got this in a text from my mom this morning. Location: Midcoast, ME. (Why is the picture so big??)

Smithsonian. "Hamilton Throws Epic Shade at Burr in Newly Discovered Letters" — or something like that.
