not as cool as trolling online comments five months after they were posted but yeah pretty much Read more

the marriage I’ve been in for 7 years and is still quite fulfilling and sexually satisfying? yeah, so boring man Read more

As someone who just became a full-time freelancer and kinda loves it, but of course, would prefer a full-time staff writer position somewhere—this article is, ah, a little scary. Very scary. But I think it helps me realize not to idealize a staff writer position at any institution, and as always, have a little Read more

It isn’t the greatest. The only time I fellate-puke is when I’m really out of control drunk, which isn’t often, at least. I guess there’s some inherent misogynistic troll inside my head telling me, “JCM, no, you can’t throw up on this penis or it will HURT HIS FEELS! He can’t know!” (despite the fact I’ve been with Read more

that’s also when Adam Sandler’s PC-consciousness and emotional maturity stopped, so I’m not surprised Read more

I moved to Richmond last year and when I got here, Redskins were doing training camps in town. Every goddamn restaurant rolled out the fucking red carpets and threw up large signs welcoming the Redskins to town and they were treated like gods while they were here. It’s almost time for them to come back again and our Read more

my friend is a foodie and regularly makes poor decisions in the interest of expanding the palate of her children, and she nearly always regrets it Read more

I have the same ages, two boys. Whenever I read articles about screen time I roll my fucking eyes. Dear everyone, this iPhone is the only reason my toddler is sitting in absolute silence because I promise you it never happens otherwise. Read more

Say kids are well-behaved but toss food on the floor a lot, like little things like rice or beans that would be time-consuming to clean and difficult to see under a dark booth (and while cleaning, could not keep eyes on kids) Read more
