When I was a freshman in high school, my familhy went to visit my great uncle who had both smoking related illness of some kind and alzheimers. During that trip, he routinely forgot who we were and my great aunt, second cousin, and family just worked around it. I got done up for a big midwestern dinner because I was…

A couple of summers ago my mom tried to talk around her insult as if I wouldn’t recognize the passive aggression:

Me too. I read it five times.

The fucking brain trust at that school.

What an odd man. I can totally envision this though his motives are so puzzling.

Came here to say this. My workplace worked with Comcast for media buying and some of us lowly creatives were sometimes given tickets to Astros games. I would only go if it was a ticket to one of the mid-level “Suites,” where they had free beer, nachos, hotdogs, and popcorn. But sadly, no cupcake cart access. Still! It…

I’m not going to listen to this but please tell me he said, “homie don’t rape that.”

I was going to try to get into technical writing because I live in oil country and to take a hiatus from social media and copywriting, but it’s been crickets thus far. That MFA in creative writing was worth in from a personal perspective, but in my…

Allegedly made. He wants a paternity test. Because, of course he does.

Came here to say exactly this. Also: let’s all start calling guys like this “males” as if we are using cop talk or referring to nonhuman animals.

I was short and small....even at 8 I was eating for free at salad bars because they thought I was much younger. Win!

Oh man! That’s a great story. Sharing with my friends who used to work in a movie theatre.

Agreed. My LA born boyfriend was like *shrug* with Kids and I was raised in rural-ish NM and was skeeved out. Of course, I just wasn’t a part of the subculture. There were rave kids in the cities too but I wasn’t allowed to do anything as a teenager so I didn’t really know.
