I was mostly happy at college but this morning I did have that dream where I realized two weeks before the end of the semester that I had a class that I’d only attended a couple times and then completely forgotten about.

My freshman year of college (about 4 years ago,) I smoked and got high for the first time, resulting in a horrific panic attack where anxiety induced physical symptoms led me to believe I was dying.

Bethany Frankel has such weird body issues. She would never want bigger boobs. She wants to be a teeny tiny toddler.

Does anyone not find Kristin Chenoweth irritating? Talented, mind you, but irritating nonetheless.

I’m pretty upset with how Jezebel readers are being so incredibly dismissive and actually shitty about this.
Nursing is a predominantly female occupation and as such has routinely been dismissed as a less than vocation for exactly that reason. We have to fight to be taken seriously ALL the time. I get shitty comments…

Honestly, some people complain about the wealth and priviledge of the royals, but this humble poor wouldn’t swap places with them for anything. A job that I basically can’t quit, which means constantly meeting and making small talk with large groups of strangers? That’s like my personal hell right there.

Agreed. I can’t fault any one related to Caitlin who is struggling with this, including her most recent ex-wife.

Yeah, I really can’t fault her for it either. This doesn’t necessarily mean that she’s transphobic, it just means that within her personal circumstances, discovering that someone she loved and was married to is transgender is hard for her to deal with. Obviously when someone is transgender and is finally able to be…

Caitlyn also doesn’t really seem to give much of a shit about Kris’ feelings. Like when Caitlyn suggested doing a “who wore it better” when she found out Kris had the same dress as her. That left a bad taste in my mouth.

I’ve been watching “I Am Cait” and I feel like Cait vacillates between being genuinely curious and open minded and open about her transition and what it means to her and to the world and to the trans community, and being a total jerk to her family. I never watched KUWTK, so I don’t know if this is playing off of some…

Completely.

Having caught the latest episode of “I am Cait” it was made pretty clear that Kris is having a hard time with all of this. And I don’t think anyone can fault her for that. It’s great Caitlyn Jenner is out and doing her thing and living her life but that transition impacts more than her. It impacts her whole family.

She is in this predicament because of medical malpractice. She nor her personal beliefs are responsible the sheer negligence of the clinic’s staff.

Elisa’s story and that surveillance footage has fucking haunted EVERYONE since it first hit the internet.

My gut reaction was “That’s an absurd theory. No one would inconvenience everyone else just to stick it to some black women”....then I remembered I live in America.

Because institutionalized racism isn’t about logic.

You know how scary black people with books are.

This is what happens when you teach women that there is only one way to be a good mother. This is what happens when you teach women that perfection is the primary goal, that mistakes are the enemy, that outward perception is sacrosanct. This is what happens when you value a woman’s relationships over her mental health…

She would of had to of shown her face immediately after giving birth to the local police station about wanting to give up her baby. Yeah she would of faced no crime but the shame/humiliation one would have is there. I obviously don’t think what she did was right at all, but more places needed drop off location where…
