Yeah, and now you get the extra pleasure of potentially being shot while in the H Street Whole Foods AND the privilege of paying $1000+/month for a shared apartment to take that chance! 

THANK YOU! This needs so, so many more stars.

It’s quite bad if you’re already working while in college/grad school because you can’t afford not to or because you’re unable to live in a group setting, as was the case for me. I HAD to have a part-time job that paid, and I had a child, so I couldn’t live the party life of DC interns/young staffers. So I never got…

But that logic also erases the feminist act of sexual agency described in the song. Yes, she couched it in the language of the time, but censoring the song now is equally disempowering in that it removes an example of how these things have ALWAYS been challenged throughout history, directly and/or subtly. I think it’s…

Oh, I forgot to mention the part that included that “Bill” was facing - ie. FIRING TOWARDS - a fairly major, 6-lane E-W road in the DC area. In the middle of the f-ing day! The real miracle here is that he didn’t accidentially shoot some poor soul just driving about their day!

So not technically an apartment, but now-Mr. BallOfStress and I, along with my male bff and a random guy from out school we met off of Craigslist (back in the day)...It was a truly great house, in a sketchy neighborhood, but the price was right. We ignored the fact that the landlord was obviously a few cards short of…

JFC, what state are you in?! Because I’m fucking putting said state on my list of places to avoid like the plague.

Separate bedrooms are a “must have” for us! Mr. BallofStress snores like a fucking steam engine and I have terrible bouts of insomnia. We’ve kept it this way since we got together 15 years ago and it’s honestly the best decision we’ve ever made.

As a fellow Jewish, MoCo Jezzie, if you and your wife ever want to grab dinner/a drink with me and my husband, I’d love to make another IRL friend from on here!

Wrong post, sorry!

You say that like we haven’t done it before :-/

What these politicians seem to forget/ignore/not give a fuck about is that the reality is that THEY ARE FUCKING PUBLIC SERVANTS! They work for US and we have every bloody right to confront them whenever and wherever in the public arena. If they don’t want to hear what their constituents (which for McConnell is everyone…

If you are ever in DC, I’d be honoured to buy you a drink. Keep up the good work!

I hate to say it like this, but the reality is that all of the victims of the Congressional Baseball Shooting lived. And they all had sweet federal healthcare. If they repeal the ACA, myself and many, many people like me WILL DIE. My child may well die, if she’s unfortunate enough to have inherited my genetic…

Feel free to come stay with me sometime if you need to scratch that urge, I’ve so far only been restrained by the fact that Mr. BallOfStress works with/for the government and he’s the one making the real money here...

You know what, I never, until just now reading your comment, thought about the fact that my attacker in college was an exchange student (student immigrant). Of all the things that have haunted me about that, his ethnicity wasn’t even a thought... What is wrong with people who’s first instinct is to think “What colour…

My story did too, so I’m probably biased!

On the other hand, they’ve also been a godsend for those of us who were adopted/are trying to find their birth families and half-siblings. So like anything, it’s about what you use it for I suppose.

“Lost industry?” You obviously haven’t visited the Deep South lately! We have a friend who’s dad makes (what I’m told) is the best moonshine in Alabama, but homemade Everclear ain’t my thing.

I’m seriously about to cry here, because where I live I couldn’t get a 1br condo for that price... The estimated mortgage is literally almost $500/month LESS that I currently pay in rent. And that’s in a state *without* legalised pot.

I am seriously reevaluating my life choices right now...
