Gather closely young ones and listen to your big sis about the herp.

But why would you change the puppy’s name if it was already Chalupa. 

I really wish Kelly McGillis was in the new Top Gun movie. I don’t find Tom Cruise & his hair dye as compelling as a 62 year old, refreshingly normal looking McGillis. 

Taking the bar exam next week. Already 100% sure I’m going to fail (no, seriously. This isn’t just nerves. I studied a grand total of like 10 hours this summer because of getting dumped, having to move on short notice, getting backed up on work, etc.). Choosing to look at this exam as a PSAT of sorts before I retake…

Advice from an internet stranger. Your legs are fine. The widest part is not very wide at all:)

A delusional persons though process is a terrifying thing.

Did you just say Rest in Power to a Goddamned dog? Rest in Power means something. It’s a phrase Black folks made up to honor our dead. 

I take issue with the fact that GP makes gobs of cash off of exploiting other women’s body insecurities. She wants to seem like she’s one of us only to make her audience more comfortable parting ways with their money. She can go suck a jade egg. 

I call it “decency porn” and this type of programming is increasingly necessary for my survival. 

I think there is power to imaginary friendships.

This may indicate to some degree I have absence of meaningful…

Allll the good thoughts and juju for you!

Smiling also triggers a relaxing chemical in the brain so if you’re…

So, I read about this a long time ago, and it made so much sense and is so hard. People who write in a journal every day about being let go, go back to work significantly faster. The researchers concluded that the emotional work of journaling about their emotions, allowed them to process faster and they didn’t…

I have been there - full of self doubt - it took a lot of work for me with a good life coach to feel confident about myself and that I really am as competent and kick ass at my profession as any body else.

Sending good vibes!

I was let go at work this week over something incredibly dumb (my doing) and I should have seen it coming. The blame is on me of course, but the problem was made so much worse by forces out of my control. I am really wishing that I had listened to my gut when it started telling me to find a new job months ago - my…

I feel like the underrepresentation of women in sexual abuse statistics is, itself, a manifestation of sexism. Women can’t be perceived as sexual abusers in a patriarchal system because sex with them is seen as a commodity to be obtained—if you’re male and you don’t want sex with a woman, that’s seen as a defect to be…

I feel like if you have to tell people you move about freely.....you probably don’t really move about freely. If you are living freely and normally with someone....most of the time your parents don’t fear for your life or have at least heard from you.
