I could be wrong, but I don’t think there is a husband in this couple. The one with the sister is definitely a woman, and that letter literally sounds like it was written by a woman as well.

Yeah, the advice is generally so terrible I keep expecting there to be a punchline.

Yeah, the person who needs to be communicating with Pam over her kids or her coming at all is Pam’s sister, not the LW. The letter comes off like the couple is not quite on the same page about Pam and the wedding. LW sounds frustrated by the family’s (including the fiancee’s) unwillingness to treat Pam more harshly,…

Well, first off, “uncultured” diners aren’t a protected class, nor a condition of birth that does not change.

Yep. I have a friend whose husband started a physical affair with a coworker when friend was 6 months pregnant (and had just moved to a new city for his job, so she had no friends outside of his coworkers). The other woman knew and didn’t care. The other woman’s husband, however, did NOT know. Nor did their workplace…

This is a weird song - it sounds like Tegan and Sara with Fergie singing the chorus.

Oooh, this hits home for me. I have been experiencing perimenopause symptoms for 5+ years, and there are times that I can’t be far away from a bathroom for more than an hour at a time - which just isn’t always possible. It’s a nightmare and short of just staying home in my own bathroom for my whole period, there’s not…

I wear jeans and a t-shirt to work. I also wear workout clothes in public - usually when I’m going to or from the gym or a dance class, but the rest of the world doesn’t know that. Occasionally I stop in the store on my way. WHO CARES?

yeah, I was just thinking that the girl would be completely recognizable, especially from the side picture. Let’s hope the kids around her have some empathy.

For the love of Pete, YES. I live in a co-op, where buyers have to be approved through an interview. We go over ALL the rules in this interview, we ask if the buyer has received the information they are entitled to, and it’s a place to ask questions about the rules. There are a handful of people who have bought in and…

Yikes. That’s some hard living in 29 years.

ITA :/

There are actually lots of ways for people to do horribly at their jobs (without killing anyone) and get huge payments to walk away. Ugh.

“Here’s the thing, Seattle is liberal...in a wealthy or wannabe wealthy, way. It is the White, North Face & Lululemon wearing, socially progressive- but don’t touch my money, kinda green, foodie, techie & bougie city.”

Ha! I actually liked Moonlight and was sad when it was cancelled (guess I was the only one who watched it), but then there was this weird stream of Alex O’Loughlin shows and it was just...weird.

Is that a trick question?

I’m conflicted about the messaging of the exit. I do think Weaver’s honesty is refreshing, and her concerns are real - the death threats alone would be a totally valid reason to abandon a very likely futile race. But that honesty, highlighting issues that end up being gendered, also feeds into the “this is why gals…

I never watch The Bachelor, but this felt delicious and I was just waiting for the next scene with Quinn and Rachel Goldberg debating the ethics of putting BacheloretteRachel through that (and the difficulty of getting Lexi out of there, because she seems to have enjoyed her bit part a LOT).

Personally, I’m just glad to have a light shined on the film, because it is one of my all-time favorites. And it is very much a piece of its time. I find it interesting to look at it through the lens of where we are, culturally, today.
