The Airing of Grievances, 2016 Edition

It's Festivus!

God. What a fucking year. As I write this, I'm feeling utterly disgruntled, but simultaneously so unenthusiastic - not quite resigned, but where I used to want to rip off an ear, I now just sigh and shrug. It feels like a lot of things have gone to shit this year. How am I NOT totally into writing this? Right? Most years, I relish in the airing of … [Read more...]

About “Leprechaun Traps”

Last year, my neighbor's kid went OFF about going on a leprechaun hunt and finding gold in a leprechaun trap at school. Turns out the gold was just chocolate, and she was a little disappointed that they "missed" the leprechaun himself. They spent a lot of time on that leprechaun trap. You guys. They had just had their 100th day of the school … [Read more...]

The Airing of Grievances, 2015 Edition

It's Festivus!

After a hiatus of a couple years, IT'S BACK. Yep. By popular demand, we're celebrating Festivus with the annual Airing of Grievances. 2015 has given us so much to kvetch about, and now you're gonna hear about it. 10. Misuse of Memes I saw Success Kid being used by a children's wing at a hospital as a reminder to use the intercom and wait until … [Read more...]

Co-Parenting Like a Boss: 5 Ways to Make it Work

Co-parenting Like a Boss

My son's father and I were never married. I found out I was pregnant after we'd decided to go our separate ways, and since I made the decision to keep my baby without his input, I gave him the option of sharing in parenting responsibilities or in relinquishing all parental rights. He went all in, and he's been a proud papa from day 1. However, … [Read more...]

Why I Call Myself a Feminist

Why I Call Myself a Feminist

Sometimes when I wake up at odd hours of the morning, I find myself stumbling through comment threads on Facebook and Reddit. It never takes long to find a comment disparaging feminism and feminists. Recently, a well known vlogger even came out in opposition to feminism, saying that she doesn't need it. I need feminism, though. And even if she … [Read more...]

Let’s Talk Modesty

Talk About it Tuesday: Modesty Culture

I'm going to start by saying that dressing "modestly" is great, if that's what makes you comfortable. Honestly, most of what I wear is considerably "modest" by most standards, but it's for no other reason than it generally hides the parts of my body I'm not as excited about showing. Like my whole-lotta-love handles. And this isn't a discussion of … [Read more...]

Next-Level Street Harassment

The other day, I was driving home with Cameron. I'd come from work, he'd been in preschool, and we were happily chatting about his day as we inched down the main street connecting his school to our home. On this particular day, I had the windows down to enjoy the breeze. I didn't realize such a simple luxury could have such consequences, minor … [Read more...]

The Airing of Grievances, 2012 Edition

It's Festivus!

Oh world. Life. Humanity. You've done it again. Another year of grievances to air, and if having ample grievances to air is the end game (it isn't), then 2012 did not disappoint (but really it did) and these are just a few of the reasons. 10. Salespeople And I don't mean the door-to-door kinds of sales people. I mean the people who are … [Read more...]
