Here’s an internet hug, from deep in the grays
Well, it’s official. I broke down over New Years and had a major depressive episode, was sent to a psychiatrist, and was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder. I wanted to die. The stress over not only the shit in my own life (high housing costs, bills, student loans) just cannot gel with the stress that I’m…
Sometimes I like to imagine an alternate reality where the president is somehow likeable & kindhearted, even if he’s still a buffoon. A place where SHS smiles and is jovial during her press briefings. I imagine her taking little, friendly digs at Trump, et al. Maybe then we’d see her in a different light. Maybe then…
I’d expect nothing less from Worf’s brother.
Acid in a hot tub.
I honestly don’t believe a single word this messy bitch says.
Lesson: We (women) should ask for more money.
This is a real thing that happens, and it’s compketely fucked. But Matt Lauer was paid a lot because he was a tent pole in NBC News’ brand. Why viewers were so loyal to him, I’ll never know. But comparing two women who haven’t been huge names at NBC for decades with a man who basically *was* NBC for decades isn’t…
It’s all terrible. There are studies that show that the gap exists immediately after college. Two people who have the same degree and same experience will have different salaries for no reason other than their gender. And men who negotiate are seen as “go getters” and women are seen as “pushy bitches” so even having…
HEY! Same! I’m in Oxfordshire and yeah, we get shit alllllllllll the time about the US/Trump/everythaaaang. Americaning overseas is hard. I usually just let people assume I’m Canadian.
“Someone you can bait with a tweet should not have access to the nuclear launch codes.”
Niggas still don’t understand how making money works. Trump is Twitter’s biggest money maker. Seriously, it’s been hundreds of years. Surely coloreds have learned by now?
No, he can’t. His belly is too large.
Seconded on The Gift of Fear, a book which, if I were Queen, would give every young women a copy of before high school graduation. I was never the type to end up at a disadvantage in relationships, or in abusive situations, but I had a college boyfriend once who, it turns out, was kinda crazy. He seemed very…
Yes. TO ALL of this. Every bit of it. I know a woman who boarded her cats with friends when she left her abusive spouse because he had already started taking his “anger” out on them.
LW, from someone who’s been there: He will never change. It will only get worse. Leave now before he seriously hurts you. Go to thehotline.org for resources and help if you need to—and/or to your friend who’s been telling you to leave him! (There’s [almost] always a friend who sees it before you do.)
