7 '90s Dark Comedies To Show Your Tween

There's so much to love in today's piece: It's nostalgic, it's fun and it's about movies. Why wouldn't you love it? As Sam Darby writes, "I love showing '90s TV shows and movies to my 10-year-old. From Boy Meets World to Jumanji and everything in between, the era was the best for entertainment geared toward kids. But the '90s also meant kids watched a lot of movies that weren't meant for them, and I honestly think it's time to show our own tweens some of these '90s dark comedies. How are they going to handle high school if they never watched Jawbreaker?"

You can't really argue with that, can you?

I Rewatched Fried Green Tomatoes & Found My Perimenopausal Icon

"'Strong Southern women' is basically a Hollywood movie genre at this point: Steel Magnolias, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood... I could keep going," Kelly Faircloth writes. "But one holds a special place in my heart, and that's Fried Green Tomatoes. There are a lot of reasons — it's funny; it's a tear-jerker; it was filmed minutes from the house where I grew up; and it's a romantic (if sad) Southern queer love story. But standing on the edge of middle age, I rewatched it and found a new reason to love it: Evelyn Couch is kind of a perimenopausal icon." Let her tell you why.

I'm Having The Most Uninhibited Sex Of My Life Thanks To Audio Erotica

Today, an anonymous mom is taking on audio erotica. Specifically, how audio erotica has completely changed her sex life. When I read this, I kept saying over and over "good for you!" Her marriage ended, and she found a partner who was better able to not only meet her needs, but explored the fantasies with her.

This piece is spicy and interesting and all about female empowerment and I am so here for it, and I hope you are too.

I Resent How Relieved People Are With My Weight Loss

I really love this piece today from Jen McGuire. In it, she delves into the frustration – and shock – she has felt when people seem relieved that she's lost a bit of weight. She essentially asks, who was I losing weight for anyway? And how she – like so many of us – has grappled with her body all her life, and what this latest iteration of her body feels like, and how, in turn, it has been received by her friends.

It's a thoughtful look at societal pressures and how we duck and weave through them our entire lives. I hope you'll give it a read.
