George Jetson is truly out here stealing my birthday clout

Princess Weekes, once again, hits the nail right on the head. youtu.be/Ec7o2uJeFDE

Catholic Priests in Les Mis: I'll lie to the cops and give you my most expensive stuff to save your soul. The Catholic Priest who I asked to possibly baptize my son even though I haven't been to church in a while: Go fuck yourself, idiot

The most lingering and embarrassing side effect of August 12 for me is that whenever I see people standing up to power I just immediately start crying. I watched the video of that tennis player writing "No War Please" on a camera and teared up.

I've just learned from pinterest that "girl summer first birthday" party themes are watermelon, peach, lemons, and ice cream, while "boy summer first birthday" party themes are surfing, fishing, beach balls, and picnics. "Sunshine" is gender neutral. I am actually lost.

I've seen about two of the Oscar nominated movies so I guess I'm rooting for Dune to sweep everything!

I watched half of "Fiddler on the Roof" with my husband last night and this is how things are going

It's fun when you're reading a kids book to your baby and you hit one of the rhymes and realize you were supposed to speaking in an English accent

My husband just asked our baby if he would rate him 5 stars as a dad on "Baby Google," aka "Baby GooGooGaGa" and our descent into dad jokes has only begun

And like, I don't think that's what they intend to say, but they should recognize that you are super hormonal and exhausted after having a child and that affects the way you take things

It is my birthday month and also very likely my firstborn child's birthday month so I would like quite a bit of attention please

@sfleach she's so appreciative!

@LeaveittoPsmith That was so nice of him to build her a new toy!

Our cat thinks the new bookshelves my husband carefully built into our living room wall were made specifically for her to climb all over

I should be happy about this, right? I'm cringing though cause of what it means to advance U.S. through our "exceptionalism" and "power" and for a Black woman to be at the front of it. Ruby Bridges, a child up against acute violence, doesn't fit neatly into the "going."

“while single-payer is still far from having Congressional majorities behind it, lowering Medicare eligibility to 50 in the first 100 days would help millions & hasten passage of full Medicare for All”- brilliant stuff, Jacobin! any additional thoughts from you on that strategy?

Sorry for all the pregnancy diet talk but GODDAMN these articles ARE STRAIGHT TRASH

"So, when moms-to-be treat themselves, they should try for smaller amounts or stay on the healthier side of the "treat," she said. For example, if you're craving pizza, go for vegetable, she said." IN WHAT UNIVERSE IS "A VEGETABLE" A SUITABLE TREAT SUBSTITUTE FOR PIZZA
