I’ve had sleep paralysis a LOT. It started in my early teens and I did not learn what it was until about 10 years later. So I spent a good part of my adolescence genuinely concerned that there might be an evil spirit trying to possess and take over my body. That is certainly what it vividly felt like. I’d wake up, or…

— but I’ve seriously never understood this “vegan dictating their life choices to others” archetype as anything but a paranoid fantasy of people who feel somehow attacked by the personal choices of others which in no way affect anyone else—

What the fuck is this bullshit about “vegans don’t respond or it will be proof of what I say!”? No, proof of what you say would be vegans foisting their belief system upon you in response, which nobody is doing.

I’m 38 and I still haven’t yet met one of these infamous condescending, militant vegans I hear so much about in my right-wing family members’ email forwards.

I like a lot of your posts, but “This is what I think and anyone who posts anything in disagreement is just proving my point” is pretty lazy posting behavior.

No gonna try and speak to your experience or anything, but I’ve seriously never understood this “vegan dictating their life choices to others” archetype as anything but a paranoid fantasy of people who feel somehow attacked by the personal choices of others which in no way affect anyone else.

omg you guys I’m sorry I had to ungrey this person just because I cannot stop laughing at this comment

Granted, this is referring to the US and not the UK.

Yep, and the kind of guy she will want at 30 will probably cringe over it too.

But enough about that. Angelina Jolie left Brad Pitt! Yep, just up and left him

I always started with the new number about 6 months after my birthday in order to get used to the idea. It’s definitely led to confusion and I have had to check with dandilyn for verification. He’s the birthday whisperer. Mention your birthday just once and he never forgets it. It really creeps out the cashiers at…

I care! I’m turning 36 in a couple of weeks. If Queen Bey is already 36, then that whole “You have as many hours a day as Beyonce” argument doesn’t hold water, because SHE got a head start! Which totally justifies my being on Jezebel and eating peanut butter Ritz Bits right now instead of working on a research paper!

People in that area are not happy because a lot of them are assholes. And Hungary is currently being one of the biggest assholes of them all, especially in the form of the PM Viktor Orban. Please stop with the nonsense that poor Hungarians are upset because so many people have crossed their borders uninvited and make…

Oh god, I just remembered this: my former boss was pregnant with baby #2, already had a toddler boy. Found out she was having another boy and while not “disappointed” seemed a little wistful that she wouldn’t have a daughter (she and her husband agreed 2 was the limit) but was also happy baby was healthy...I mean,…

See, you pick your rhyme based on which kid you like better, and then you blame your poor relationship with the other one when they are adults on gender essentialism.

hmm i seem to remember lots of whispers about penn’s controlling behavior with robin wright?

That’s eugenics. We don’t do that.

*Gross?* You have no idea what goes on in the modern meat industry, do you?

Beyond messaging, if we don’t fight for women at the top and women at the top are making less than men at the top, then men, by default, remain at the top. How can women effect change if they can never accumulate money, power, and influence on par with a man’s? If we just say, “good enough ladies, now let’s focus on…

There is also the factor where guys frequently see ACTUAL 50/50 scenarios as being a fucking Girl Invasion. Whether it’s visual scenes in media, talking in a real life meeting, or simple representation in the workplace, for some reason a lot of men see 50/50 as being far more than 50/50 — biased the woman’s favor.
