I don’t believe they truly want them eradicated- because then they’d have no one to terrorize or feel superior to. I think this is about trying to reassert ‘dominance,’ ‘reminding people who’s in charge,’ all the usual bullshit.

Byung-hun Lee, please and thank you

In an extremely disturbing headline calling it a “Stalkers’ delight,” the Hindustan Times writes that “Mobile numbers of unsuspecting girls are being sold from recharge outlets across Uttar Pradesh for prices based on their looks and are being used by men to harass them over the phone, police say.”

It wasn’t quite an embarrassing action, but I was embarrassed to tell my parents who I was dating when we got together, because everyone knew he used to have a thing for my older sister. Close friends of ours used to tease my dad incessantly about how My Dear Emerson was going to be his son one day — but in relation…

Thanks! I know I can’t be the only one that has that kind of strangely intense dream experience. I’m sorry you lost your parents (I’m assuming that’s what happened). My cat is not really important in the grand scheme of things, I know that. Losing a pet is losing a pet. Which is why it’s so strange for me, really, I…

You know, I’ve only ever really talked about this to one person, but...

My husband crashes every year on the anniversary of his father’s death. It’s just a month of depression for him. We muddle through as best we can.

OMG we read all the same books. I love the “Anne of Green Gables” series, and the Cynthia Voigt “Homecoming” series. Let’s see.. I loved anything by Joan Lowery Nixon... I liked The Westing Game...I read a lot of classics, too, not as much YA though... I wish I knew some more GOOD YA like Hunger Games. Everything I’ve…

Whoever it is, may I say from my heart, from all your friends here — they are welcome to go fuck themselves.

Fellow fibromites!!!

This may sound crazy and I don’t know if it will work for you at all, or if this is even an issue for you guys. But I was in a similar situation - I was doing 95% of all house work, he wasn’t doing anything, and then he started asking me why I didn’t initiate sex more, if I could be a little more sexual when we were…

Be kind to each other. I feel like that’s so underestimated. Say thank you, try to do nice, considerate little things for each other. They add up, like putting money in a bank that you save for a rainy day. It helps, particularly if either of you struggle with trust issues.

PAAAAAAAAAANNNNGOOOOOOOLINNNNSS

Come on! If you read that sentence and didn’t IMMEDIATELY think “dissolved the body so no one could find the evidence,” you don’t watch NEARLY enough Law and Order.

The only thing I’ve objected to is calling her a witch, because that’s a classic anti-woman insult that was leveled at Hillary constantly, and at hundreds of powerful women before her. That’s just plain old sexist invective and we should be better than that.

Urination is in my nature, but I understand that urinating on my fellow employees is not best practices. Because as a functioning human, I learned that there is a very specific time and place for that - and if I AM going to do that on someone, I need not only an appropriate location but explicit consent. (I take my…

Meanwhile, this evil cult-leading couple was having loads of sex, on a constant high from the fulfillment of their abusively wielded mutual control fetish. They’d get off by reminding each other about the sadistic sexual controls they’d inflicted on their flock.

I have read it, and I did feel like you that she “atoned” slightly more. But —- ooh. I got angry shivers when Vanessa Redgrave does the line about “Isn’t it kinder to leave them alive? I gave them the future they should have had.” (Or something like that.)

So true! The artistic choices were amazing.

YESSSSSSSSS. Judi Dench could be a guest on the Jerry Springer show, howling obscenities, and still be sophisticated.
