I see that Diane Keaton is taking the Lena Dunham approach to things.

So.... we’re being shamed for caring about rock music now?

I broke up with a man I’d been seeing who felt entitled to tell me (after asking to see ME several times) that my weight was “a concern”. Do I feel good right now? No! I feel shitty, and drunk, and lacking in value, and like I’m never going to be loved. But that piece of shit is no longer in my life, so I’ll take my…

I’m kind of taken aback/heartened how many of us “I’m in my 40s” there are here with so many work/dating experiences/questions in common. Maybe it’s just me - all of the women I know are either married/not working or rocking a long-settled career or those striving, hyper-networking types. I know exactly zero women…

Honduras’s democracy died today. We have a newly installed dictator, backed by the US. People are out in full force, and getting shot at.

I’m moving into my own flat in 3 weeks after being homeless for nearly 16 months, totally excited but also nervous and slightly worried about having zero furniture but so happy to finally having my own home again.

So the boyfriend and I broke up after almost four years. The tl;dr version is that he wants to move out of th city and focus on his art (i.e. not have any sort of day job, even though he has no alternative source of income and my salary covers 90 per cent of his living expenses) but I have a demanding career that I…

WEEKLY ACHIEVEMENT THREAD!
Go on, brag on your awesome self. What happened this week that you’re particularly proud of?

well then you of all people should know better!!!!!!!!! let people enjoy the celebrity news trash what they want to enjoy without shitting all over what may be the only thoughtless reprieve from their shitty jobs!!!

Please watch it. The scene where the double decker bus jumps the drawbridge is the best thing about that entire movie.

I truly enjoy Baskets, especially Martha and Christine, and I’d like to fist bump Zach over this comment but...

Couldn’t most of people make better choices in dating at 19?

there’s a book called stitch and bitch by debbie stoller that i’ve given to a few friends and they’ve learned from it. i would also recommend supplementing the book with youtube videos to see it in 3D. (also if you want to learn to crochet she wrote a great crochet book called the happy hooker)

You could also invest in a smaller dildo. Like you can do both.

I’m in the middle of a move. I’ve lived at the place for a year. I gave my landlord notice at the beginning of the month that i would be moving. I haven’t been sleeping there since last weekend. I went there today to finish some packing and start cleaning up the place. My landlord was in the garage when I pulled into…

Is it really wrong that since I insist on breastfeeding and I get up and take care of our 4mo every night myself, I want a little fucking help on the weekends from my husband? I’ve had a couple of conversations about how I feel like I do the heavy lifting all night every night (we both work full time) that I want him…

The light has gone out of my life.

That’s like two of his kid’s names right there.

I do think that’s a consideration to remember. But this is a huge pay discrepancy. She isn’t a six figures to his seven lesser name. She’s an established actor who has been Oscar nominated and he’s not exactly the biggest star in the world. He’s a bigger name but he isn’t setting the box office on fire everytime.

Because ‘bigger name’ is a subjective standard, and subjectivity leaves a huge open door for biases and systemic prejudice to keep working. This is far from the most egregious example, but it is a piece of a very long pattern that keeps finding excuses to pay men more (including writing and casting them as leads more…
