So proud of my mother for doing her own research after I sent her that meme. A sign she hung in her car window.

Is this true?

[mallninjacode-deactivated201812]

Not only is it true, it gets worse. The Susan G Komen For The Cure Foundation has actually successfully sued “competing” charities, because (paraphrasing) their “message or branding was infringing.”

You read that correctly: they took money that people had donated to cure cancer, and hired attorneys with it, to sue ANOTHER group of people trying to find a cure for cancer, who, in turn, had to us their donated money to hire their own legal counsel to defend themselves.

It’s true. If you want to donate to a charity, please do your research about that charity and make sure your money is actually going where you want it to go.

I don't know how anyone enjoys life while being a part-time shift worker. Ah well. I will continue to be thankful for the well paying jobs that my boyfriend and I have.

Fuck it.

Sometimes you just need to say "Fuck all of you, fuck this shit, fuck everyone, fuck it all!" Just to get through the day.

vagina’s are able to stretch wide enough to give birth to a fucking baby and then return to it’s original size but of course being penetrated by that grass blade you call a penis is what’s going to make it “loose”

If only more people thought like this.

u take a lot of selfies. do u think ur pretty or smoething? ur not

hi there, anon. i didn’t realize i took a lot of selfies. thanks for the info. so, your question was whether i think i’m pretty. you already answered that no, i am not. 

and i have to agree, anon. i don’t think i’m pretty bc i’m not.

i’m fat.

i always have a double chin.

i constantly look like i haven’t slept in a week bc of my dark circles

and, i always look sunburnt. idfk why

i have this white line across my nose that makeup can’t cover up 

i have tons of wrinkles on my forehead. like what the hell? i’m 25

also, it’s the size of fucking texas

i still don’t know how to smile in pictures bc i hate my fucking teeth

my feet are flat. my hips are huge. my boobs are weird. i am covered in stretch marks. my voice is grating. my ears stick out two miles from my head. i am always fucking sweating and i’ve been asked if i was pregnant more times than i can count. 

so, you’re right. i’m not pretty. i can’t stand the way i look.

which is why it’s so fucking important that i post “a lot” of selfies. bc, anon, you’d better fucking believe that if i look in the mirror that day and don’t cringe, i’m gonna take a fucking picture to save that tiny little second. and GOD FORBID i show the world that i posses a little self love every once in a fucking while. 

TO ANYONE READING THIS: DON’T EVER LET SOMEONE MAKE YOU FEEL ASHAMED FOR LIKING THE WAY YOU LOOK—EVEN IF IT’S JUST FOR A SECOND. IF YOU LOOK NICE, YOU TAKE THAT FUCKING SELFIE AND YOU SHOW IT TO THE GOD DAMN WORLD BC THEY DESERVE TO SEE THE GOD/GODDESS YOU ARE!

that beard finally coming in? go ahead, bro. take a selfie.

you finally got that piercing you’ve been wanting? not really my style, but you’re fucking rocking it. take a selfie.

your boobs look awesome in that shirt? take a selfie.

you finally lose or gain that weight you’ve been working on? take a selfie.

your eyeliner look awesome? your new sunglasses make you look like  a celebrity avoiding the paparazzi? you killing that tux? you feel a tiny, rare level of self love? you always on a high level of self love? you just like your face? 

TAKE A MOTHAFUCKING SELFIE!

thanks for the question, anon. this one’s for you.

As I do not live in the U.S.A, I cannot fully grasp how hard it must be to return to work after only 6 weeks of maternity leave. I just received 2 months of paid sick leave followed by 50 weeks of paid maternity leave. This report has made me even more appreciative of the luxury that is our paid maternity leave. I truly hope that one day the federal government of the U.S gives parents paid mat/pat/parental leave.

When visiting a new mom (dad)

Before giving birth last year, I decided to read as many blogs as I could about newborns. This one stuck with me:

http://www.scarymommy.com/?s=Rules+for+visiting+a+new+mom

Two friends came to visit me soon after I had my son. One of them already had an almost 3yo, and was due two weeks after me. 

Anywho, they brought me a gift which I plan to do for all of my first-time-mom friends: a mom gift bag!

It contained facial scrub, candy, a magazine, red bull, water, over-night maxi-pads, and a few other essentials that I cannot seem to remember now. 

So, with that in mind, I give you my new mom (dad) essentials gift guide.

<b>Maxi-Pads</b>- These are vital, especially if she gave birth vaginally. You bleed like nobody's business after birth. 

<b>Candy, Chocolate</b>- I'm telling you she will be eternally grateful. There's nothing like being awake half the night with a newborn who thinks it's daytime. That candy helped to keep me awake on more than one occasion.

<b>Water</b>- Whether she's breastfeeding or formula feeding, or combination feeding, water is amazeballs. Hydration is key, no matter how you feed your baby. I had no idea how much water I needed to drink while breastfeeding. No. Fucking. Clue. 

<b>facial scrub</b>...or something like it. I cannot describe the feeling of getting out of the semi-weekly shower I was able to take and apply facial scrub. Exhilarating. Or, applying nail polish! 

Note: some moms have an easier time with motherhood in those first few weeks than others. I was only able to shower once every few days for fear of my boyfriend dropping our son. Completely irrational, btw.

<b>A magazine</b>- Cosmo is my personal fave, but anything she likes will do. 

<b>Random things</b>- Those are the key things. However, these things would also be appreciated as well:

-Lanolin (if she's breastfeeding)

-A tin of Formula (if she's bottle feeding)

-Red Bull (I gave it to my bf as he needed it when he went back to work)

-Lotion

-Body Wash

-Lip Balm

-Razors (good for dad too)

-Dark beer

This is just a list of things that were super helpful for me. 

Isn't it sad that we have to add disclaimers like that for those idiots that feel the need to troll the internet, preaching their own beliefs and not accepting others?
