I’m a preschool teacher and I occasionally fill in in the infant room when needed because I loooooove them and I sometimes need a baby fix. The BEST TRICK I know for calming a 4 mo and older baby is to cradle them in one arm while seated, tilt their body a bit towards you and pat their butt relatively firmly. Watching…

a dork who tries really hard to be cool

they did almost all of te exterior shots in Boston! I unfortunately dated the lead location scout for a few months last year.

I live in Somerville and last July-October I dated the head location scout on this movie! He’s a dipshit, but I watched him upload and map out locations every night before really mediocre sex. All the houses of the victims are real houses located in Southie, Dorchester and JP, mostly owned by 80 year old grandma’s…

I initially refused to sign up for Facebook when I went to college because I was INSISTING that it was a fad and nothing would replace MySpace. So that’s when i realized I was an idiot.

I mean they are a super important band to a shit ton of transwomen. The genre might be derivative but you can’t discount how important it is to have music by transwomen for transwomen become popular. The DIY punk scene is notoriously white and male and aggressively so. They’re worth the hype, especially live.

I’m IRL friends with a few of the members who are from Boston. Jake is one of the most authentic, kind and principles people I know. They were/are an activist in a bunch of regards and an actual ally to women, trans folk and PoC. I’m really glad people are backing up G.L.O.S.S

I mentioned it last week, but I worked at a margarita/tequila bar on the water. Initially, the staff was a mix of chill female stoners/punk chicks/tattooed babes who’d take a shot with you and serve you delicious tacos. THEN we got a new manager who decided to increase business, she would now only hire stereotypically…

Ok, yes, these already good sound bites to skewer, but is it really necessary to frame how shitty this is by taking down a novice PoC? It’s pretty much White Feminism™ standard procedure to call out a black man for errors and attitudes pioneered by white men. He’s a foreign, minority upstart in the genre, and I can’t…

I was mostly just pissed that these dudes thought I would even care about what they thought of me. Like, yes, I am not your type, NO I do not care that you don’t think I’m marriage material! These type of dudes always assume every woman is just WAITING to be hot on by them. Affluenza and fragile masculinity is a hell…

I ALSO have a really good story about Third Eye Blind eating at this restaurant. It's actually beautiful.

I was working at a margarita bar on the water, so winter was slow. We relied on our regulars, a few of which were a group of late twenties bro dudes who would come in for nachos and fish bowl sized margaritas. They were generally ok, except they LOVED to flirt with all of the female staff, despite none of us being…

Ok, I'm ALSO from Boston and we have the same user name! I read your comment and was like, wait, did I sleep write a comment?

I have mine shaved all the way around with like a five inch wide top section that goes back to my crown and it looks BOMB when I wear it in a fifties beehive. I will never go back. Plus I feel all g.i. Jane when I buzz it in the bathroom weekly.

I remember the first time I was cat called. I was fifteen and a sophomore in high school, taking a trip with my dad in D.C to check out some colleges because my parents are insane and wanted me to start looking at age five. Anyways, my dad ran into his bank to use the ATM and is waited outside he vestibule. Some guy…

"I'm a guy so I don't know how it is for women". RIGHT, COOL, SHUT THE FUCK UP NOW. being a "badass" doesn't preclude you from sexual assault and to imply that women who ARE concerned about it are somehow weak and paranoid is victim blaming to the max. I have a friend who was sexually assaulted by a stranger at night…

I totally agree. I feel like it actually makes the attention ALL on me haha. Some people have different views vis a vis it's actually internalized misogyny and that it solidifies gender rolls, but honestly for me it is just having FINALLY fulfilling sex.

Not sure how this is going to go over, but I had toyed with a liked some submissive light bdsm things but never really went for it. I was in a long term relationship with really vanillas ex that was decent, but I felt uncomfortable voicing what I wanted and things I wanted to try....UNTIL I started dating this…

I would have been Maeve or Mona had my mom got her way, but my parents went with another old fashioned M name. I quite like Maeve, but feel like I would have been even sass ire had my name been Mona. Mona is a bad bitch.

if I was your nanny, your room would be spotless, the dishes would be clean and we'd be at the local wildlife sanctuary checking out the rescued snowy owls and the butterfly garden because kids need fresh air and curiosity. And you wouldn't get anything unless you asked nicely. The six year old girl was playing…
