    If you hate the idea of having to wear a mask on an airplane against your will, wait until you hear about having to carry an unwanted pregnancy inside your body on an airplane against your will.

    Kid in my son’s class explained to me that she was sure he has two moms because he has “the pretty mom and the other mom.” She described each to me in some detail. Reader, both are me.

    If they won’t let women have methotrexate because they might accidentally become pregnant and miscarry the embryo, we should sure as hell not let men have guns because sometimes they go nuts and murder a bunch random strangers at concerts and parades on purpose.

    Being a woman is cool because your body can literally go in and out of style.

    It’s simple, guys. Other countries don’t have mass shootings because all of their schools and churches and nightclubs and grocery stores and outdoor concert arenas have only one door.

    Keep seeing tik toks of parents complaining that the “girl” toddler shorts are way shorter than the “boy” toddler shorts and parent hack: you can just buy the “boy” shorts for your daughter, like they don’t enforce it

    I was googling “Steve Martin banjo” because human sexuality is a deeply complicated thing and, um, can we have a conversation about this picture?
    A picture of young Steve Martin with long dark hair, a beard, and a banjo.
