You may remember him from such things...but I can’t say I do.

I’m so sorry. I’m a recent widow to cancer, but no children. I can’t imagine the added deep, horrid challenge of having children involved. All I can say is follow her lead. Everyone’s grief is unique and different. But if she wants to talk about him, talk about him like he’s active and impactful in every moment of her…

I’m having a much rougher Mother’s Day than I had anticipated. Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer and just found out that they’re going to do a hysterectomy in a couple of weeks to remove the cancer. I’m incredibly grateful that I’ll recover from this, but indescribably sad that I will never get to…

It’s a lovely thought, having a day dedicated to mothers. But it only makes me feel guilty for not feeling how I should, I suppose, towards my mother. I see everyone getting their mom gifts and making sweet FB posts and I just... Can’t do that with the way things are right now. Not in good conscience. And unless a…

My dear friend’s husband was diagnosed with cancer less than 4 weeks ago and passed away in her arms last night. They have three young children. The email she wrote this morning to her friends and family about their love and life together was incredible. I don’t speak to my mom. I’m spending today in bed with my cat…

Fucking this. I’m having a different flavor of not-so-great Mother’s Day—the kind where you are a mother who feels unappreciated—and it feels like fucking Happy Mother’s Day is EVERYWHERE. Can’t imagine what it would feel like to be grieving the loss of a mother at this time. So—if you’re having a not-so-great…

Fuuuuck, today is rough. Last summer my dad shot my mother and then himself. This is my first year without her. We were having a rare fight and hadn’t spoken in 5 days and the last text I have from her is “I guess I’m not supposed to have feelings.” All I want to do today is hug her again. Just for one minute. And…

Cite?

“But on the other end of the spectrum, he was also this open, emotional guy, who was able to cry, who intensely loved his dogs.”

“Forcibly kissing someone” is assault. You are not allowed to grab, fondle or kiss people without their express permission. You are either a Cool Girlfriend or a dude, to not see how this makes women feel unsafe.

Yeah...I think he did that all by himself. You know who doesn’t get demonized? People who are aren’t abusive gaping dickholes!

David was my thesis advisor at Illinois State ‘95- ‘97. This was right as Infinite Jest came out, and I watched a sweet, weird man turn into a complete psychopath who punched me in the face during a meeting in his office. Later I would hear such terrible stories, like this article, and wonder if that person I met was…

The tortured genius is a pretty damaging and self-destructive concept. The reason a lot of famous men were abusive assholes isn’t because they were tortured but because they grew up in a society that taught them it was okay to act that way. And the reason that a lot of famous women self-destructed and committed…

So over the tortured-genius-male-author bullshit.

Yeah, I kinda ignored it when it was happening. Mostly because the first comment I saw was: “how can they make jokes about -that-. They must be sociopaths!” Which was just a special kind of pearl-clutching that seemed in-line with the complaints.

I had no idea that this was even a thing. After spending five minutes looking at the Bitch Media / Twitter foofaraw, I’ve decided that it can’t be real, and must be parody put out by some kind of alt-right shitposter who wants to make liberal snowflakes seem as ridiculous as possible. Because the alternative is too…

I skip over the adds, that button where you jump forward 15 seconds is amazing. I’m almost all caught up on MFM. 

I’d never heard of her before today, and those Meg Foster eyes are what drew me to the article, but I’m a fan now.
