I haven't watched this show yet and every time I see an article I remind myself that I should but can I just say that you wrote the hell out of this? And I know it's partly because I didn't see that scene (see: haven't watched this show yet, damnit now I definitely will) but that final paragraph? You are gooooood.…

Nora? You gotta be kid ... ney ... ing ... me!

If she's ever looking to join a roller derby she totally has to be Nephrotiti.

I've been considering doing this for about 10 years and calling it Good on the Rack or some such.

YES THAT.

To many people, parent-child incest is as repellent as pedophilia, to which it is linked in obvious and complicated ways. But we are schizophrenic on this issue: calling one's male sexual partner "daddy" is commonplace...

Sixteen Candles is what you should watch. More Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall but also ... Michael ... Schoeffling ...

BAHAHAHAHA! Fantastic. Yeah, I'd be thinking at least thrice before throwing an elbow at her US Majesty.

Sorry about that!

Oh yikes, I'm sorry; I'm not in that situation at all. I was addressing your "I wish women would understand..." by saying that I fear we as women are socialized to see jealousy as a positive, as flattering and charming, and then learn the hard way that it's not.

Zantac? Maybe a prescription PPI if your symptoms overlap a bit with GERD? GERD's also one of those things that seems to go hand in hand with asthma.

In the same way I must have a can of Diet Coke when I visit fluorescent-lit Chinese restaurants for a hot pot, milk with my Oreos is non-negotiable.

Make it Tetra Pak white wine with ice cubes and I'll toast you from afar with my box of Crunch 'n' Munch.

Based on the descriptions I've read so far I'd MUCH rather have extended health care benefits cover doula-esque advocates who help people with mental illness or addictions issues navigate the health care system and actually get help. This will not happen.

I will call you none of these things; I will, however, compliment your use of the word 'nether.'

That is a thing. I'm so sorry.

oh god oh god oh god oh lol oh god oh god oh god oh god

Honestly, on a scale of one to This Beer Was Brewed Using Yeast Grown in a Beard I am actually pretty ok with this.
