“Those stories were a good read”

I was looking through the questions in the Community today when I saw this one…

Featured community question wherein I finally write down my memory

This one comes from member djgonzales: Jon and I were still living in California that year in a Spanish-style apartment just north of Beverly Boulevard in West Hollywood. Our favorite hobby was running stairs in Santa Monica three times a week, a workout whose intensity I haven’t been able to recreate anywhere else. We saw [...]

Featured community question wherein we get to blame our parents

This one comes from member CurlyCat: And the reason I’m featuring it is because some of the responses are just too good. For example, the quip of a concerned mother: …………………………………………………… …………………………………………………… Lesson learned. If Leta does something weird with her hair, the proper response is, “I see you did something interesting with your hair!” [...]

Featured community question wherein Jon makes his mother proud

Today’s featured question comes from user dirtdiva321: I figured this was an appropriate question given that Jon and I eloped on a cliff at Yosemite eight years ago this week, and that Monday morning we were sitting together on a couch across from our therapist.

Featured community question wherein I am not the valedictorian

I’m used to this, and it’s always followed by something like, “I fed her ice cream for breakfast,” or, “I let her stay up until [...]

Featured community question that my father should just go ahead and skip

Today’s featured question comes yet again from user Brookelyn Bridge, mainly because it is so timely for me: I’ve mentioned my friend Kate before (and no, this is not going to be a post about my lesbian fantasies, I gave those up when I realized that I really, really like penises), and she has this [...]

Featured community question with accompanying forty-five pounds

Today’s featured question comes from user Brookelyn Bridge: I don’t know if every pregnant woman feels this way, but during the last month of my pregnancy with Marlo I was always thinking, what if I never lose these extra forty-five pounds? What if this pregnancy has changed my body forever? And then I’d follow up [...]
