Jk Rowling rocks. She has been vocal in the criticism of you know who.

T****’s handshakes are all clench-and-pull. His elbow is always tucked in tight to his body. That’s some bullshit insecure masculinity/business power move to literally knock people off balance.

does anyone else feel like they’ve aged like 15 years in the last 20 days?

also, skim.

A friend who appreciates and shares your sense of humor is generally a good thing no matter the situation! Just keep being there for her. And don’t be afraid to acknowledge along with her that the situation sucks, because it does.

I don’t have any advice to give, but I just think you sound like a great, supportive friend, and she’s lucky to have you.

I’ll second what thundercatsarego said, ask her what she needs from your talks. My best friend of over 20 years went through a lot of fertility issues and finally just gave up and figured that getting pregnant was never going to happen for her. While that was happening for her, I got accidentally pregnant (we were…

A disturbing number of our conversations start with, “So...what did they shove up your hoo-ha today?”

As someone who dealt with infertility, I appreciated when people just asked me what I needed. I personally really felt more normal when friends didn’t treat me as emotionally unable to handle pregnancy news. Life may have dealt me a shit hand in that respect, but that didn’t mean that I couldn’t be happy for others.

My god I didn’t realize how many conversations with friends start with “Did you hear who’s pregnant?” or “So my kid did blah blah blah today...” But once you start being on the lookout for them, they’re everywhere. It’s like an emotional minefield. And you know people don’t mean to be insensitive. They just don’t…

You’re doing the Lord’s work with that pass blocking, you’re a good friend.

Honestly, I think just listening and being aware of stuff is the best thing you can do. I had a really open conversation with my friend who has struggled with infertility about what she needed most from our talks. Did she want me to just listen? To ask questions so she could talk through the details? Or to change the…

I think the best thing is to just ask how best you can support her. I’m not technically having conception issues yet(it’s been 8 months, so it will be official soon) and can’t drop 15-30k for fertility intervention or adoptions. I know that what supports me best is not going to work for other people.

You’re asking the important questions.

100% of the time, i’m right every time.

Oh honey. Do not worry! You are far too young to worry about stuff like this. It’s more important for you to feel emotionally fulfilled by yourself. Having a boyfriend or a husband is not going to magically fill a hole you feel you have by not having someone.

I, for one, do not welcome our new overlords.
