I’ve lived in two different places where taking the bus wasn’t a viable option. I truly wish we would invest in public transportation in the midwest and southern parts of this country, but we haven’t in quite a while

My partner is like 75% of my life, in the sense that he is the thing that makes me want to get up in the morning, he is the person I most enjoy spending time with, he is the person I think about first when making big decisions and some little ones, and he is my emotional block. I also have two kids with him. They are…

That was the main thought I had watching her recent Netflix special. Well, that and “Wow this is not funny.” I’ve been a fan for a while and am kind of wondering (although feeling very “uncool” suggesting it) if she has a real problem at this point

Maintenance sex is often about intimacy, and often masturbation, even near a partner, doesn’t satisfy that need for everyone

I don’t know why this would be a shocking idea to people. On rare occasions I am super enthusiastic about blowing my fiance, but usually it’s more like, “Hey, it’s been a while since I’ve blown him. It would be nice if I did that.” And then I do that. And it’s fun but it’s absolutely maintenance sex. Sometimes vaginal…

It’s actually refreshing to read this take on Hefner. I’m relatively young and most every woman I talk to online that is my age or younger has a notion that he was pro-feminist and pro-liberation in every way, and it never seemed possible to me, given the times he lived in and the old articles of Playboy I’ve read.…

I can’t resist being “that person”. I wrote nearly the exact paragraph you did when pregnant with my second. It changed things a thousand times more than our first. He is the light of my soul (like, chemically, not because he’s a great kid or something lol) but changed our household like a tornado. I know some…

My fiance hates them. We occasionally watch foreign films and he will deal with the subtitles, but he really hates it, even on an English-spoken movie or show. We would have left if that happened to us. I’m not saying that should necessarily affect the way a law about this is kept, but that is our personal experience

This feels very “Louie” inspired. I mean I guess nearly everything is right now, but yeah. Looking forward to season two!

Oh I agree she isn’t careful. Any good editor could have (and probably did) warn her about the things in her memoir that were going to cause trouble and that could have been worded in a much better way, and the abortion comment is another example of her speaking to the world as if we’re all girlfriends hanging out…

I thought you were talking about both, but even with what she said I just don’t see a big disconnect. In fact, since it was about the fact she hasn’t had an abortion I can see her not feeling Hannah would in that situation either. Personally I took her comment to be too flip for print but just her saying she felt like…

I don’t think most babies have made sense throughout history, but they still happen and often people continue the pregnancy even when they are unsure or scared and/or very pro-choice. Hannah already agreed that it feels like it’s her baby. Sometimes that just happens. Biology is weird. It doesn’t always fit into some…

I hope this doesn’t come out wrong, but my god the comments on this post make me feel separate from the community. I identify with so much of Hannah’s character, from the mental illness to the relationship issues to impulsive and detrimental decision making and over self-analyzing, and I had unplanned pregnancies and…

I don’t take it that way at all. All the characters are growing up, and Marnie is the only one who has implied having a baby signifies a step forward and we are very clearly meant to think Marnie has no idea what she is talking about, especially this season. I identify a lot with Hannah’s personality, mental illness,…

If you looked at my social media feeds you would probably say I’m obsessed with abortion and I have two kids out of wedlock. I think Hannah will have the baby. The only exception I imagine is if one of her parents dies and she decides she can’t deal with it right now

Well this sucks. I am not great about boycotting things I should, but I’ve maintained one of Wal-Mart and its sub-stores for a while and now I have to add Modcloth to that list. Great site, great selection, but won’t get my business any time soon :(

Yeah isn’t that the argument that people with tattoos say in general? Even if you move on from a certain passion (hobby/person) in life it was still a part of your journey.

If writers from the 19th and 20th centuries had the same celebrity coverage we have now I probably would feel just as guilty about my literary favorites. It’s hard to draw those lines or even decide to have them.

I mean I wouldn’t call an ambulance if it was my son unless he was struggling to breathe. Those things cost money

I appreciate a heads-up about it, and I’m sure I’ll disagree with her on a lot. That’s true of like 95% of the male authors I enjoy though so I try not to judge women writers more harshly and extend the same grain of salt when reading
