Saving this to send to my dissertation committee.

I don't understand what's happening here. He's a sponge, watching a sea anemone, and embarrassed that a snail walks in on him??? Too many phyla!!

That's the secret gift of that stuff, right? It's so hard to live through, and to think about in hindsight, but hopefully we won't fall into the same hole again.

Yeah, when I'm not beating myself up about it, I can recognize I wasn't stupid, just bought into a lie that feels pretty obvious now that I'm not living it anymore. On the bright side, I don't think it's a mistake I'll make again.

I'm so sorry. That sounds awful.

And if someone at a bar (or even one of his friends) disrespected me I was on my fucking own.

Oh lordy. That made my heart hurt a little. I got dumped by my SO because I wasn't "interesting enough" after I spent years spending hours feeding him/taking care of our house/family relationships. No shit dude, you wonder where all that time went?

You just made my Monday. Those are fantastic.

This may just be the new-quarter-blues talking but I'm pretty bummed that Kanye got sentenced to teach (something that he may or may not know very much about) as part of his community service. People crap on educators quite a bit but to treat it as 1) a punishment and 2) something that any random dude can do, is sad.…

I've never tried the rocks under the heels strategy, but this is an otherwise almost perfect description of my last backpacking poop. It was a transcendent experience.

That Raspberry Imperial Stout sounds soooo good. I finally broke down and bought a new carboy for beers that need a long time in a secondary. Such a small, but wonderful investment!

That is hilarious. I love the woman in the top right corner.

That is the look of a man desperately trying to visualize his happy place.

I just noticed she has one of those awful car air freshener trees on her necklace. I think I would pass out if I had one of those so close to my face. They smell like chemicals and death.

YES! I knew I'd seen something similar but was too lazy to google it. She looks amazing.

Oooooh. Lateness is a no-go for me. I was raised by someone who was chronically VERY late and had some hard times early in my relationship with my last SO due to his time management issues. 40 minutes late to a date is not cool.

This whole thread is freaking delightful.

Right?!? She's beautiful.
