When you push a small human out of your body, things tend to get a little weird.

As a former Mormon, the Church's revelation that they're going to start “loving and accepting” the LGBT community makes me laugh. Hard.

It's always so good to know the folks doing the work you're doing.

I was told that feminism is man hate. That abortion is murder. And then I thought, "What am I doing here?"

It seems that "at 18 months, almost 60% of toddlers were sleeping for 13 to 14 hours per night." HAHA you're so funny Reuters!

Good news: they'll probably grow out of it. Bad news: probably not until they are 23.

It doesn’t get any more difficult to insult ourselves, regardless of how old we are. It would be ideal if it got easier to respect ourselves, but it generally doesn’t do that either. Every year you age, and every year the aging you looks at the you of the years before and thinks, I can’t believe I thought I was fat/ugly/etc.

When I heard about accusations that Lena sexually abused her sister, I was astonished. And my visceral emotional reaction prompted powerful questions.

You can work your butt off and still be left with a tummy. Bummer.
