God I would be livid if someone made me fight over a bunch of materialistic bullshit like that. It’s one thing to give every single staff member the same present, but allowing it to get competitive has got to be so he could enjoy watching the squabbles. Yuck.

Y’all are doing something right!

UUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH to all that. Thanks for sharing your experience (and sorry that your experience has been so negative).

Wow, that sounds like a great place to volunteer. Thanks for spotlighting it; I’ll have to check them out!

I knew firefighters could be volunteers, but I had no idea EMTs could learn through volunteer classes as well. Thanks for sharing! I can’t do it right now, but I will tuck the thought into a mental back pocket for the future.

We were sitting in separate chairs when my drunken self had a great idea about how to really ~smoothly~ work my way into a hookup. I went over and sat in his lap and then exclaimed “wow it’s sooo hot in here I need to take my shirt off!” before taking my shirt off.

This is a totally random question mostly unrelated to your story, but are you British? I’m guessing from word choices like “mad” and “rubbish”.

The fuck have you done? I was sternly against this monstrosity and now I want a key lime-blackberry-lemon meringue (blakeygue? lemberlime? keymerberry?) concoction more desperately than anything. Are you a wizard? What have you done to me?

I wonder, chicken-and-egg-wise, whether the presence of the gun makes people aware of the ease of suicide, but then they don’t want something so brutal/painful so they find less violent means; or whether the type of home that would have a gun is just the type of…

I’m with mazzieD. Additionally, the very first thing I would do is tell my supporters not to drag Stoya through the mud. “Y’all, I do not tolerate victim blaming. Thank you for the support, but please be respectful of Stoya. Even if we discover this was a misunderstanding, it takes a lot of courage for most victims to…

People who are kind use the word “kind.” People who are unkind use the words “politically correct.”

I would literally push all of my loved ones out of my way and run. Like I would use my best friend as a human shield and not even feel bad about it.
