It has been so disappointing (and illuminating) to hear from female Trump supporters. You can’t have a successful patriarchy without some women who prop it up too. My friend, whose mom is a Trump supporter who HATES Hillary went on a rant about how Clinton was so weak and stupid she couldn’t even stop her husband from…

I am genuinely starting to get concerned about her safety. I felt this way about Obama too, but I think people on the far right actually hate Hillary *more* if that’s possible, and they are getting told all the right inflammatory things to incite violence during this (godforsaken, never ending, dystopian nightmare of…

Jesus christ, the pussy generation? How is pussy still an insult??? Oh, you’re like the thing that brings LITERALLY ALL HUMAN LIFE INTO THIS PLANET. Wow, how terrible! What a shame! Also, Clint, you’re a racist asshole - the world didn’t get worse, you just got old. Go yell at a chair.

I don’t know why this, of all things, is my breaking point for news today, but jesus h christ, WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT? WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT?

At this point, I bet they’re considering it. I think the party is shattered either way. You have very, very high level Republicans not just defecting and declining to vote, but agreeing to vote for the Democrat (!) and not just any Democrat, one of the most GOP loathed Democrats of all time! Because they know Trump is…

I don’t think she needs to work to please the smart, high level Republicans who realize that Donald Trump is a legitimate national/international security concern, because all she has to do is keep being NOT Donald Trump. That’s it. They know there are two choices in this race, and one is a fucking lunatic. As long as…

This part is INSANE.

Oh gosh, I mostly have UNpleasant celebrity encounters. Hmm. Well, I worked on a show with Henry Winkler and his wife made a bundt cake that he brought in and he was very sweet. I waited on Jessica Alba a million years ago and she was a very nice person and a good tipper. Aaaand that’s all the positive ones! Haha.

One of my good friends is super close with Lindy (they went to college together) and she will occasionally like comments I make on his Facebook posts and it gives me such a nerdy thrill. I adore her, but I was too shy to approach her at my friend’s wedding, which I am still kicking myself for, 2 years later!

Childhood dream job: doctor. Unfortunately, I have vasovagal syncope, which is a thing where you pass out a lot, especially (in my case) at the sight of blood, while giving blood, etc. So! That did not happen!

Thank you so much! This was the most calming, helpful advice. :)

Thank you! Just getting to seeing the replies to this post now, but thanks for your feedback. She’s been in day care now for a week and I am actually thrilled with the socialization aspect - she finally learned to laugh! After literally her first half day! Anyway, I’m adjusting and she’s thriving, so I think we’re…

Oh jeez, thank you! :)

Thank you! :) And good luck to you when you start trying!

Hey Jezzies, I’m going back to work on Monday after 5.5 months of (unpaid) maternity leave! I am...equal parts excited and nervous. I love my job, I love the daycare we found, my husband’s work schedule is changing so we’ll be able to spend 2-3 hours with her in the morning and 3 hours at night, so it’s not like I’ll…

We definitely do white noise already, but it doesn’t seem to help. He doesn’t have a crate, just a little dog bed, so I think I’ll try out the thunder shirt next year, see if it works for us. Also, aaah, you have an Aussie? I LOVE them. So cute. Our little guy is like a mix of a thousand different types of dogs, but…

Thank you, I think I’ll try one out for next year. (Unless, like this year, I forget all about it until July 3rd.) And thanks for the pup compliment. :)

Thank you, I am! Hope you and your husband are on the mend too!

I’m so sorry, that sucks. An man I had been involved with ended up getting married to a very close friend of mine and it probably took me about 3 years to really be okay with it. I suggest therapy if you’re really stuck. It can do wonders, at least it did for me. Good luck and be patient with yourself. Don’t impose…

Oh that’s terrible. I second the snail mail sympathy card advice. It can be very overwhelming when someone dies suddenly and people come out of the woodwork (in a good way!) to offer condolences. It can be great if there’s a second wave (because that’s when the shock has passed and it’s terribly real.)
