Not understanding what FDR or democratic socialism did for our lives is like forgetting that women were originally not allowed to vote and were considered property of their husbands and then considering yourself “not a feminist” while voting and divorcing your hubs at will. Belittling Bernie is like laughing at those…

The tone of this was bizarrely unfunny. I don’t say this to be mean; what Bernie sanders is saying, and FDR did, has unbelievably profound implications for our lives. Your life, my life - for everyone.

I don’t think I’ll ever date again, and I’m serious. I don’t hang out at bars by myself (friends are happily married), and dating sites lead to awkward conversations where I get easily tired / bored.

I saw a video years ago of them being followed to their (her?) place in Boston by paps, and she walks in before him and just slams the door right in his face. He had to knock on the door to get her to let him in; not sure why he didn’t have a key, maybe they weren’t married yet. Hilarious.

Although I think it’s awfully funny how people here act like Gwen is bell hooks and Gavin is Susan Sontag or something and that Blake is such a step down. They’re all a bunch of music stars, they probably talk about their money and their careers and their famous friends.

Currently, my life situation is such that I really just want a hot, reasonably intelligent delivery guy who I can also make out with. Pizza and kiss-faces, and then leaves me alone so I can live my life.

Same here. I think it was because my best friend in junior high & HS & I both had very difficult home lives. We just sort of avoided all the drama bc we had enough to deal with.

Damn, that’s good advice. I dated a girl who about 2-3 months in wanted to get engaged and was not at all shy about saying it. She kept going on about not wanting to waste time and what am I waiting for and I kept saying I’ve known you three months and that’s not enough. Anyway, she broke it off.

Ha! Come to Brooklyn. I'm a single mid-thirties lady and basically only get hit on by Park Slope dads in open relationships. Not knocking the poly life, but I'd like to find my #1 person before trying to figure out if I want a #2 or #3 person. Le sigh.

One of the most important things to seek in a partner: find someone you truly like. As a person. That you can talk to. As the year’s go by, it is the friendship that remains. Careers and kids and all of that will change. Even attraction will fade. But friendship is key.

I wonder if I’ll enjoy not reading this version any more than I enjoyed not reading the original.

“Grief is slow moving and has no rules,” Jenna says. “There’s no set expiration date, no pre-determined time when everything goes back to normal. For many people, it never does.”

I think it showed a shit ton of maturity on her part to know everyone felt sympathy towards her and didn’t want empty platitudes. I’ve never had anything remotely comparable to losing a sibling happen to me. I do know when I’ve had my troubles cliche pick me up sayings make me feel worse.

I believe her. My mom used to lock me in a closet for hours a day. She would ignore me most of the time and she convinced me I was worthless and unable to make good decisions. That continued until last year, when after years of trying to be a good daughter, and years of her pulling things like trying to sell/steal my…

Word. I dealt with an alcoholic, bipolar, drug-using mother who was unmedicated oh, most of my life - and all of my years living with her. Even while medicated, she wasn’t anywhere close to normal. I cut her off for 3 years while she refused to go on meds, but she was exhausting even after that, and thousands of miles…

My mom threatened to kill herself when I cut her out. I can relate to the difficulty of dealing with people who are mentally unwell who also happen to be your parent. It’s an absolute nightmare.

If you’re revealing your deepest feelings via text message, chances are you’ve got bigger problems going on.

Obviously there was so much WHAT THE FUCK in that horrible Vogue article that the part about St. Vincent is easy to ignore.

Turned off the video when it was mentioned that they named their son “Jupiter.”

I don’t know if this is just my experience, or part of a greater whole, but while I can be friends with people who don’t identify as “female” or “woman” who have different opinions/views it seems like the females who are anti-vax/BC/choice/feminism/LGBTQ/etc OR super “THIS OFFENDS ME REMOVE IT FROM EXISTENCE…
