Show of Hands: who here had a plan of What to Do after graduating high school?

Anyone struggling a bit with Mother’s Day? I haven’t been in contact with my mother for about seven years, after she walked out on my dad and siblings. After a few years of learning more about myself and also my dad, my perspective has changed, to say the least. In addition to this, my brother, who is twelve years…

Just be glad you were allowed to ask for things in a store. We were not and got in trouble for asking in the first place. If you asked, the answer was automatically no. Guess what that does to you as an adult?

Um. Well. IF you’re serious about your work — because some of us don’t have the luxury of “getting to give up” — I have some news. Not only do you not get to, but other white women have written tools you can use to proceed

Allen Whitt is such an asshole. He rolled into my town to try to whip this shit up when our city council was considering a nondiscrimination ordinance. He showed up in the neighboring town when the council wanted to change their NDO language to include LGBT people. In both cases, he made these seemingly benign…

one time, my mom was planning a trip to DC and accidentally showed us whitehouse.com. Nobody got sued. 

One time, my Mom bought and served us dog ice cream. Nobody got sued.

My large corporate bank certainly wouldn’t fire you for having those views but they might if you were dumb enough to spout them off at work, especially to a LGBTQ employee. I think when large employers with socially liberal employment policies are located in more rural parts of America, it helps push progress. If you…

We’re having a hard time believing that Berger somehow found a lawyer to represent him

So what about women transitioned to men, do they prefer their daughters to share the bathroom with them?

That line from Whitt about not having any economic means through which the city can be forced into equality is such a weird exercise in shooting oneself in the foot. Sure, you’re not being leveraged into making this change now, but your children are leaving. Generally speaking, educated and talented folks don’t want…

I once went on two dates with a lady I met on Bumble. They were fine, but there’s was really no chemistry and no interest on my part on going out again or pursuing anything further. My ex had also just had a mental breakdown of sorts and left town, so I had gone from a shared custody situation to full-time single…

You unknowingly buried the lede! From another article covering this:

Shouldn’t he be flattered that she found him attractive?

Yes, it’s like asking, “Do I drink too much?” Then watching an episode of Intervention where a woman drinks an entire 12 pack of Bud Light on the morning bus ride to work and then saying, “No, I don’t drink too much.”

I love stories for a purely selfish reason: I can tell myself that “ok, I did do [slightly unhinged thing] but at least I didn’t send 65,000 texts to someone”. But I do feel bad for both of them. She’s obviously not even the least bit in control of her behaviour and emotions, and he must have been scared as hell

Pretty much:

Blech! She used to married to Gavin Newsom. Talk about trading down.

Yes, lets make sure to ruin the life of the woman who DIDN’T assault anyone but was affiliated with the guy who was (and has yet to be held accountable for his actions).

Oh yeah! I think I’ve met that old lady before, too. Seriously, if your seatmate is amenable to your chattiness, good for you, but you’re probably annoying the rest of the plane! I just wear my headphones onto planes now and I don’t even turn the music on, so that when I sit down it’s clear I’m not going to chat with…
