I completely agree. I'm only 30, but I decided long ago that I'm not interested in having children, which I felt lifted a weight off my shoulders in terms of rushing over milestones, and everything else can just come in time. I just graduated from graduate school last year and am starting my career, and beforehand my…

I feel that "naturally gravitating" is definitely how I define my "life course" as I call it. I just turned 30 and while I still have an amazing time, it's so different than I was 10 years ago. My crazy party nights with friends are now more designated to birthday and new years, not Thursday-Saturday, which I thought…

I just entered my 30s and I am wondering if all of the turmoil comes from making big life-defining decisions in this stage. My 20s were terrible for many reasons and I felt a constant fear of trying to figure out what to "do" with my life, but now I just finished grad school and am starting my real career and I have a…

It's a weird age because I don't feel "young" anymore, but its kind of inbetweeny. It just drives me crazy when people my age whine about being soooo old. Are we just going to keep being old for the majority of our adult lives? Not to mention it might feel kind of insulting to someone who is maybe, in their 50s. If 30…

If anyone has any fears about being "old" in their 30s...I suggest moving to Portland. I lived there in my mid-20s for school, but it distinctly had the vibe of a never-never-land where 30 and 40 year olds go dancing, go to shows, and talk about comic books while wearing tee shirts and sneakers for the end of days.

If it helps at all, I'm a social worker and former psychology student and have done a lot of studying about aging, and lots of studies/anecdotal evidence shows that as adults enter the end of their life they often reach a kind of peace with the inevitability of death, and take a great pleasure and comfort in living on…

Seriously! It is also ridiculous because I remember being early 20s and constantly feeling like a failure because I didn't have a "real job," and was always talked to condescendingly and patronizingly by the "adults," at my internships and low level secretary type jobs. I ran with a pretty radical crowd, and the super…

I also think in the MTO photos she looks a lot skinnier in the "before" shoot. Some people just put on weight in their bottom half when they fain a little...and personally speaking even though my ass is no way as grand, over the past 5 or so years that I got serious about running and doing a squat/weight routine I…

I agree. Maybe it's because I've only worked professionally in Bay Area, Portland, and Austin (professional hipster, heh), but while women often dress nice the only ones that wear super high pumps, tight pencil skirt, all black/gray etc, are either interns or women who are professional PR types. I don't really wear…

Haha back in my single days I had a ton of those that I kept for awhile at of prosperity, my favorite was "guy with hat" as if that would somehow trigger my memory if he ever called?!

I don't know, when I was in college and in more of a "casual date usually just hook up phase" my friends and I would call guys/girls things like, "gym boy," "math class boy," "gyro boy," or usually "(name of bar we made out at) boy." Actually once things ever got "serious" we started using regular names and then we…

So I was kind of in your boat at one point, I moved to the SF area with my boyfriend and even though we had several friends in the area they were already so busy and had their own lives and I was super missing my close-knit community from Portland. But I did a similar tactic when I moved to Portland, I'm a member of…

Oh yes I got it, I'm just bad at explaining what I mean I think haha

Honestly not that surprised. In the article this weekend about the queer feminist porn star I read a comment that queer porn was basically "at the expense of straight cis women."

I have mostly used it in reference of talking about persons who are trans in general, so trans* could mean transman, transwoman, or transsexual, if someone prefers that. If that makes sense? Also I have many friends who are trans and some have different preferences but as long as someone is respectful and makes an…

That was exactly my thought. I used girls bathrooms my entire life and never had to worry about seeing another woman's vagina..why is this an issue?

That gif is everything. I can't stop watching it. Seriously can't.

haha that is pretty much my daily look during the work week, and I am the farthest thing from pregnant!

Have you read all of the books? (spoilers if you haven't...) I think when Sansa is stuck on the Vale with little Robert is is clear she's playing the game, she's just always trapped. And Arya kills an old man for no reason in the last book. But I do think Arya's story arc is more exciting and I love her chapters. When…
