When I was 16ish I worked at day camps for 5-8 year olds and holy shit the things these kids would do for a sticker... I saw it come to blows over glitter stickers more than once.

My mum worked part time, but was home when I got in from school so my experience was basically the same as having a stay at home parent. I was probably a little spoiled, but in ways that I didn’t really recognize as a kid. I had homemade lunches and baked treats almost every day, so of course I coveted the bought…

Thanks to different Chinese dialects, if you got your tea by land you call it chai and if you got it by sea you call it tea. In English speaking countries people use “chai tea” to refer to masala chai, which is a specific blend, so “chai” has a specific meaning now for English speakers. That’s how English works - it…

I just read Alyssa Cole’s Off The Grid series so this topic is already top of mind. It was good, I would recommend it. But also I need to get some new skills before the apocalypse. I don’t think you can barter with data analysis and weird trivia facts.

They deleted my reply to them about it being a hetero relationship regardless of the parents (or Fairy Feller’s) bias and ignorance... so apparently not interested in addressing that one.

I’m right now. Some people just haven’t caught up.

If your argument was just that his family might not consider it hetero that would be one thing, but based on all the information we have this is a hetero relationship, regardless of his parents’ biases and ignorance (and regardless of yours).

He is a man and she is a woman. It doesn’t matter what is in either of their pants. Trans woman is just a descriptor. Tall woman, funny woman, Jewish woman, cis woman...

Thank you for your service to humanity.

Based on the paragraph before the letter this is a man dating a woman, so it’s a hetero relationship. The use of “homophobia” I think is meant as a catch all for LGBTQ.

Whaaat.... that’s terrible! The only two times I’ve done this it’s been fine - but that was in New Zealand so maybe different standard practices. I also have had an IUD for two years now so it’s been a while since I had to.

I’d never used an applicator, and the only time I tried it was weird and uncomfortable so if I have to get a tampon from someone else I just take it apart now. But a friend of mine won’t use OBs - even if she has none of her own, she won’t take mine because she “can’t use those”. Uhhh... tab A goes into slot B?

My boyfriend and I have been together five+ years and recently (in the last few months) he started not being able to finish, probably a third of the time? It’s definitely been a conversation! I think we’re both now at the point where it’s just a thing that happens and it doesn’t mean the sex wasn’t good for both of…

YES PLEASE WHERE IS THE VIDEO????

Ah yes, the important “Sad white people in front of the ocean” genre.

What’s the opposite of a cool girl? Most of my friends are women, I don’t like ribs or wings (so messy for so little pay off), and the only way I drink whiskey is with ginger ale. I can do a mean “no make up” look, which takes me eight minutes and five products.

Every time my boyfriend trims his beard back I tell him I don’t like his new face.

It came up pretty naturally on my second date with my partner. His last relationship ended because she decided she wanted kids. I’ve known since I was 20 that I didn’t. I don’t think it “had” to come up on date 2, but we could both tell right away that this could get serious and if we were on different pages about…

This is really good criticism. It’s one of those books that I enjoyed well enough while reading it, but don’t remember very much, and the more issues are pointed out the more I realize how much I didn’t notice. I read it as vacation popcorn so didn’t have my Critical Thinking hat on...

Reading a few of the other stories and realized the old “out of town wedding” dumpage is more common than I thought. I did the dumping, but he made it messy...
