Lover You Should’ve Come Over. Pretty much anything by Buckley

This article bugs me. I spent several years being the support for a loved one with depression and reading articles like this, which only served to make me feel like the burden of making the relationship work was put on me and any sympathy for what the support person is going through is minimized. And no, saying “it…

It’s called having a “frap”.

Wait. You masturbate at Starbucks? There really is a kink for everything.

Her crazy LOVE YOUR FATHER OR I SENDS YOU TO JAILZ stance is hardly going to convince the kids their mother is wrong if she is brainwashing them. Indeed, the judge couldn’t have acted more “the whole world’s against us and our mother’s the only one who loves you” if she tried.

That’s true. My lovely new American classmates made fun of the way I spoke, too.

Because family court judges aren’t supposed to send kids to juvie. They don’t even have the jurisdiction to send kids to jail. The kids aren’t parties to the divorce.

Jesus H Christ.... Ok fine maybe sending them somewhere neutral is the best thing right now. Doing what's best for the boys should've been everyone's prime concern. Sending them to a juvenile detention facility seemingly out of spite was NOT doing that. She deserves all the criticism she's getting for doing that to…

Wait, they are childhood friends but one is American and the other is British, if they were going to have different accents why couldn’t Collette just be her natural Australian? because that British accent is dodgy.

Even teen versions? You mean always teen versions. Like 60% of teen books in the ninties was someone dies tragically and girl must learn to go on with life/love again with the help of some hot boy who’s hanging around. Mom died in a car crash and the neighbor boy is at the funeral in an ill-fitting suit and you’ve…

This trailer was awful. The part that really got me was the hair loss and wig shit. I don’t have cancer, but due to a medical condition I lost most of my hair and ended up buzzing my head a couple weeks ago. I’ve been wearing a wig and I can relate to her self-consciousness about it. This whole movie just seems like a…

Some years back, my grandmother died of a brain tumor. While we all tended to her on her deathbed, my aunt—the youngest of the kids—was the most dedicated, spending hours and hours doing everything she could to make my grandmother as comfortable as possible as she faded away. One night, at everyone’s insistence, my…

Good, this will come out while I’m in my second year of medical school. I’ll need frequent reasons to daydrink and ugly cry.

Right? Holy shit, he’s literally describing himself as someone who takes risks, makes a ton of money, and launches companies, but he’s “mediocre”. Not the guy pumping gas, not the girl flipping burgers, not the couple making $40k between them... no, he’s the mediocre one.

I mean, I have always had very strong opinions about women’s rights, but I am (at the age of 40+) a baby feminist. I didn’t study it at university, there are no groups in my hometown, I simply read something one day that made me want to learn more and be better and DO better. And I’m doing that while people all around…

I have to assume there is a certain percentage of the population that really want all of this rubbed in their faces. Part of the problem is that some people who actually want things rubbed into their faces have convinced themselves that doing that is wrong and bad. Which develops into self hatred. Which develops into…

Every time I hear or read, “Why feminism?” Or, “Is that still needed in this day and age?”, all I can think is do you not read or watch TV or listen to music or go to work or even exist on earth with the rest of the people because that is a stupid ass question and you should go suck a bag of dicks

If I had to think about it, of the last five insults someone lobbed my way as a person of size... only one came from a male coward in a moving car screeching something about Taco Bell still being open as his friend drove him away and I walked up the road... and the other four came from fellow women. Just saying, women…

To be fair to King, he was an early promoter of feminism. He was right there reporting on a lot of the women’s rights movement in the 70’s. I mean his coverage of Victoria Woodhull’s Presidential campaign was groundbreaking stuff.

Russia and a lot of Eastern Europe has always been really strange with the whole women are weak thing. In the west at least there is consistency. In former eastern block that is not the case there are more women in senior management roles in Eastern Europe and Russia than anywhere else in the world, the number of…
