Issues? I got 'em.
abstractoctopus:
Is anyone in need of a baby quilt? I just reduced the prices of all of my quilts in my shop so take a look or pass the link along to people who may be looking for one. Thanks!
I haven’t stopped thinking about this amaaazing quilt since she blogged its pic… would it be weird to buy it for myself? No?

IUDieeee: My IUD story
Or - how the internet talked me into getting a device shoved into my lady bits.
I’m not much for personal-story-blogging. While I like reading all of yours, I can’t ever seem to find the time/energy/will to sit and write about my own life. So when I first thought about doing an IUD post, my natural inclination was to never ever actually write it out. But then, when I was trying to...

Regarding Penn State
mar-see-ah replied to your post: Legit curious, not looking for trolls here
I think they’re trying to change the system in all of college football where everything is brushed aside in pursuit of the WIN. And these kids have bought into it: they expect to be treated like royalty & not really go to class. They’re not innocent.
The controversy, as I have come to understand it, is about a coach...

Legit curious, not looking for trolls here
Let me preface this by saying that I have absolutely no dog in the Penn State fight, other than thinking the entire story is horrible and disgusting and wrong. And that Jerry Sandusky’s interview on Rock Center with BriWi was nothing short of horrifying. That said…
To those of you saying more should have been done and the death penalty should have been issued and Penn State Football...

Pop quiz, hotshot: What's the best recipe you...
This weekend, I made gnocchi with squash and sweet corn (I subbed out the goat cheese because eh and it was quite good and will be repeated), Jacque Torres’ chocolate chip cookies (big hit at the BBQ and now at work), and stacked enchiladas (perennial fave) and it occurred to me that it is rare that I make anything from a recipe not found on tumblr anymore. And probably the same is true for...

Tonight, I was sad.
Sad for Colorado. Sad for the loss of innocence in our society yet again (airplanes, schools, malls, movie theaters). Sad for the people who use this to become hateful to their fellow citizens over the gun control debate. Sad for my good friend who (unrelatedly) lost her father this week. Sad for everyone I know who has lost a parent ever (and there are too many). Sad for all kinds of reasons and...

Do You Live in a Bubble? A Quiz | PBS NewsHour →
(via gnomesweetgnome)
Oddly fascinating. I scored a 17, which is quite bubbalicious. I guess I can’t argue that. Here’s what my score more-or-less means:
0–43: A second-generation (or more) upper-middle-class person who has made a point of getting out a lot. Typical: 9.
0–20: A second-generation (or more) upper-middle-class person with the television and movie going habits of the...

Y'all.
Julia Allison (I know, I KNOW… spare me the judgment) is taking a guy on a date that’s themed “Prom” and she is WEARING ONE OF HER PROM DRESSES and rented a(nother) limo and made the guy wear a matching tux. AND she said she wanted this date to be “authentic.” AND she said, “are you ready to get married?” five minutes in and “my ELLE readers...

Hi folks.
I have had a WEEK, but I can’t fully complain because it’s my Friday and tomorrow my brother and niece are in town for a day to see me/New York. And my niece is 13 and she thinks I’m super cool. AND we’re going to my favorite restaurant in the world for dinner (Union Square Cafe). So I REALLY shouldn’t complain. But this week was a bitch. We’ll leave...

“In a tiny apartment, an errant hair elastic can feel like it’s encroaching...”
– Says the chick who is living in a 240-square-foot apartment with her fiance.
I really don’t get this. They’re paying $1500 for a tiny loft in Brooklyn. I know of much better deals in Manhattan, and I’m sure there are larger apartments for the same amount in Brooklyn as well. If...
