My ex, who I dated for about five years, has since dated a whole string of women who are basically me. We’re still friends (or friends again, after a break) so I meet them all and it’s weird. Sometimes I swear he can’t keep a relationship going because he’s still out there subconsciously looking for me.

I dated a guy in high school whose parents took a break in the middle of dinner to have a cigarette. Just push their plates back, pull up an ashtray, light up, then continue eating when they’re done. I was a heavy smoker at the time and it was still way too much for me. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, his mom…

I had a nasty syncope episode when we went to visit my inlaws, a couple months after I got my IUD. My MIL was joyously convinced I was pregnant. Explaining to her that I just have this condition that causes these things to happen did not help. Telling her I had a brand new IUD did not help. “These things happen” and…

Every top I tried on today was bad tit city. I was feeling super shitty afterward (there’s also some crazy other shit going on that shopping was supposed to be an escape from) but I got two really awesome compliments from random strangers right after and that helped. I’m at the age where people around me are getting…

I tried on a top with heinous darts earlier today. Made my glorious melons look like something you’d sue your surgeon over. I nearly threw it on the floor and stomped on it, but then they’d probably have made me pay for the monstrosity.

Super frustrating, right? Some days I’ll spend hours on end cleaning my house but it’s almost completely unnoticeable because I start doing dishes but remember three plates in I was gonna do laundry so I start a load then see a drift of pet hair on the floor and start sweeping until the dog reminds me he needs food so…

It really really depends on the individual person. I’m pretty sure I have ADHD and weed seems to help slow my brain down enough that I can start to handle thoughts one at a time, so that helps a lot. I have so many unfinished craft projects because I’ll just completely lose focus and wander off leaving it in a heap.…

I grew up with cranky old septic systems too and have the same lingering fears. We’re on the sewer now and I’m still the toilet police. My husband’s brought home a pack of “flushable” bathroom wipes a few months ago and I only let him keep them after promising he would never ever flush one.

Now that’s got to be a fun intersection of racist stereotypes. Fucking people. Need to learn to just keep their damn mouths shut.

Omg my mom, who I know fucking knows better, used “orientals” in conversation the other day and I nearly choked on my tongue. I don’t think I’ve ever even heard her say that before. I opened my mouth to say something, but we were on our way to visit my grandma with Alzheimer’s who probably doesn’t have much time left,…

Outlawing abortion does not end or even reduce the number of abortions. Ever, anywhere, at any point in history. Outlawing abortions kills women AND their fetuses. Every time, everywhere, at every point in history. Abortions still happen when they are illegal. This is a 100% unavoidable fact. To claim otherwise is to…

It’s amazing how quickly these cowards change their tunes.

My ex’s dad used to use that line when he’d hit him with a ping pong paddle. Until that broke and he went for a cutting board with a handle. Luckily that was the day my ex decided he’d had enough, grabbed the board, and told his dad “I’d like to see if that’s true”. Turned out the drunk asshole wasn’t so tough without…

You are not wrong.

Right? Every damn chance they got. If I’m gonna sit through dreck, I at least want eye candy.

My first words after starting episode one were “oh god, he’s Green Arrow”. Eight episodes in, I still think I’d rather watch Arrow.

Mostly terribly done fight scenes. So many cuts, so much darkness. It’s so painfully obvious the guy can’t even pretend to fight well.

I had my drink spiked at a friend’s birthday party at a private residence. I knew a lot of the people there, but not everyone, and there were a ton of people in attendance. The guy who we’re pretty sure did it was the friend of a friend of a friend, I’d never seen him before and I’d certainly never “let him into my…

Everyone in my husband’s department but him is a woman. They go to lunch at least once a week. One of those women isn’t even married! I’m clearly taking a real gamble here.

From someone in a similar place, I’m sorry and fuck everything. The thought of being pregnant again literally gives me panic attacks. I have an IUD and I still freak out at any strange feeling in my abdomen. A good friend is pregnant and I’m so freaking excited but it’s been jacking up my anxiety being around her. All…
