Hey Jezzies! My best friend just (happily) learned she is pregnant and, as a postdoctoral fellow, she gets zero official support from her employer and will have to work from home on writing articles after the baby’s birth. Besides being vocally outraged at the treatment of postdocs in Canada and doing standard…

Ha. This me. Aaand I’ve already won the serious physical and mental health problems of simple exhaustion, chronic pain, disordered eating, depression, “and worse”. That’s an achievement, right?!

Agreed. Canada’s no better - we have loads of “ghost cars”. When I was brand new to my city, a friend and I made a turn at an extremely poorly-marked and designed intersection on a university campus and ended up on the wrong side of the road. One of those unmarked MFs pulled us over, did a visual search of the car,…

He’s dope. He could write the antidote to “The Game” or whatever that bullshit PUA nonsense is called.

I’m in a similar boat. I was 100% anxious until I met my fiancé. He’s an anxious person but doesn’t have an anxious attachment style - he’s very secure. He recognizes my attachment anxiety and is sympathetic toward it due to his own experiences with anxiety. Now I’m completely secure because he’s quashed all of my…

I can vouch for the Tornado toy - my aussie has one and he loves that thing. It keeps him busy for all of 30 seconds at a time because he’s too damn smart and dexterous but it’s one of his favourite toys and pretty durable.

My person and I had the same feeling! I’m a Tinderella and the first time we saw each other was from across a bar after he’d crossed our gigantic-assed city to “just drop by” because he was “already out”. 100% instantaneous hearts for eyes! The next day, a friend told me about a…

Fun fact #1: being called out on one’s insecurity is a contributing factor to said insecurity. Fun fact #2: insecure people are FULLY AWARE of their insecurity.

I, a 27-year-old woman, share many of your grooming habits. Most days, I meet the bare minimum grooming standards for work. On special days, or days when I’m somehow not crippled by tiredness and apathy, I clean up nicely.

I am conflicted. I hate Bond because of its campy misogyny and hyper masculinity but I did a 180 so hard that I got whiplash when I head that Gillian Anderson and Emily Blunt were being considered. Idris is fucking amazing and deserves to be Bond, however, AND I am aware that black people need another hero more than…

We actually chose topical for that reason. There’s a chance that it was a faulty dose because he hasn’t had any ticks with subsequent treatments, however, tick populations seem to be down since that four-day saga so I can’t really be sure. I’m a tick rookie - we don’t have ticks where I grew up.

I can’t bloody tell if tick medication even works on my dog. While medicated, we found 13 ticks on him in FOUR DAYS. DID I POISON HIM FOR NAUGHT? I HATE THESE PARASITES. FOREVER UNCLEEEAAANNN.

She is SO BADASS. When I was in my early 20s, my then boyfriend’s older sister managed the ‘hipster cool’ club in our city and one night Rihanna roped off a section of the top floor and was leaning against a wall, chain smoking joints, and surveying her domain surrounded by a huge entourage of people way objectively…

I wish I could wear these! My Tofinos ravage my achilles just above my heel like I’ve had a vegetable peeler installed in them.

I came here to comment about the same thing. I think I would have been 10 or 11 and my mom was concerned that I was entering puberty early so I think she asked the doctor to check me out but I remember being incredibly uncomfortable, nearly to tears. I recall the details of the room but I can’t remember details of the…

I appreciate the heck out of you for taking the time to put that so eloquently. I couldn’t have said it better myself (and neither could many others, I think).

He’s like a wee cyborg!

That man gives me the vapours, thank you for the awakening. I’m Canadian and fully aware of Mr. Singh but had never seen his hair down before. I’m a bit uncomfortable objectifying him but daaammmnnnnnn.

I told my now fiancé 20 months ago that Trump voters are bad people. He disagreed and I said, “Wait.” I didn’t want to be right.

Counterpoint: I hate dancing and have chosen a mermaid gown that is a gorgeous excuse for staying the shit away from the dance floor.
