I won’t respond directly because I know these sites have issues with trolls but to the people being negative - saying they’ll be smug and satisfied that they ‘did’ something - does that bring you joy? and what would you rather? that they sat behind their computers angrily snarking at the world? or is there a form of… Read more

Hence the fear. And skepticism. But still hope, and hope in others’ hope. Something has to occasionally counter the overwhelming anger and sense of futility.

Ah. Anyone else feel this all through their soul? The relief that people are acting, the emotion that comes with seeing people protest for all the best things, the fear that the fuckers in charge will still prioritize cash over humanity, the pride that the generation coming up feels so charged, the panic over the… Read more

I was once dating a guy with no intentions of long term anything but he was sweet, didn’t judge my wild side, and was a great weed hookup. One night we’re chatting and he makes it very clear he thinks he’s smarter than I am. I’m not arrogant but I know I’m doing alright in terms of intelligence and this was a guy, who… Read more

So much this. Why would you tell me this in the first place?!

Just commenting to say My Neighbor Totoro is awesome and doesn’t deserve to be insulted in this way.

I know that she doesn’t owe anyone shit and has earned a lifetime of sitting back with her feet up and enjoying her beautiful kids. As the top post says - this is not her mess to clean up. But the thought is still a wonderful one. An America where we have a thoughtful, intelligent leader again. Someone who thinks… Read more

I agree - I’m not sure there’s a way for him to satisfy everyone here. But he took the first step. And maybe it could be more introspective or self-critiquing as the author suggests but it’s only been a year and to process something that significant and all its meaning and the ramifications is a lot. That’s not to… Read more

Oh I didn’t know there was any suspicion there. Interesting. Love a nefarious subplot.

I knew about some of that but no one told me there was goat yoga! Absolute nonsense but now I’m going to have to check it out and do savasana with tiny hoofed friends.

Kentuckian here. The castle is bonkers. Rumor has it some guy started building it for his then girlfriend as an elaborate engagement/wedding gift. They did not last and he abandoned the project and moved away. Then it had a fire a few years ago and out of gratitude to the community (?) he decided to finally let it be… Read more

I finally quit when I wasn’t so hard on myself about quitting. My mom was the same way. For her, my dad had decided they weren’t smoking any more - it wasn’t a decision she made and suffice it to say, it did not last and she wasn’t successful until she was ready. For me, i quit once, then went to law school and… Read more

Did you see the original series of All Creatures? It was delightful. Hope this is more of the same.

Well then I’m pleased to let you know that your instincts are correct. 

I had the immense pleasure of booking Trixie for a campus event a couple of years ago. Also meant I got to be chauffeur and all round go-to girl for Trixie. She was fantastic and so damn nice. Read more

Perhaps not the most talented of actors but the man is a fucking treasure. Seriously, he must be one of the most genuinely humble and kind movie stars out there. Totally a fan girl but doesn’t change the facts - dude does good deeds and treats people well. Read more

Stealing from people you work with always boggles my mind. Like the stories about coworkers snagging lunches and what not. But one that definitely threw me was when a very dear friend was showing me around the submarine he had been deployed on for 6+ months and in his amusement at my horror of the living conditions… Read more

It is terribly rude of us.

Being more educated, being less educated, working, not working, being out too late at night, being afraid when they’re out too late at night, having children, not having children.... ...... existing.

Anyone else reminded of the Wayne’s World 2 festival? Although this seems less likely to come together...
