“It’s okay to have party friends. I can’t expect everyone to help me move or watch my dog.”

I truly hope your prediction becomes a reality.

What a heartbreaking image. Evil.

Speaking as someone who lives but a couple hundred miles from Saudi Arabia, and knows many Filipinos, Indonesians, malaysians, etc. Who live and work in Dubai.... never, ever, ever set foot for any reason in Saudi Arabia. You enter, you are a slave. Period. Your life is not yours. Do not go. No matter how bad it is at…

I completely understand. “i 100% feel like the victim, and wonder if i will ever feel that i was at fault at all. right now, i just want to be mad. i just want to be right.”

I grew up in the 1980s, which means that my childhood swing set was made of child-unsafe metal. The top bar of it was actually a long, hollow metal tube that, when yelled into, sounded very much like a megaphone.

Yeah, I don’t really buy it either.

no makeup, hmm?

THANK YOU! This angers me almost to the point of rage. The majority of people in my life have been there for more than 10 years. They’ve seen the bullshit my mother has inflicted on me, but more than that, they’ve witnessed me trying to cope with the bullshit she’s inflicted on me.

“Michelle and Ryan’s nups, which took place on a remote island in Thailand that could only be accessed by “traditional wooden long-tail boats,” had everything: escort cards calligraphed atop “foraged river rocks,” hand-dyed silk flags for no reason, food poisoning, bridesmaids that knew how to sing, and macaque…

It’s great! When I finally realized my father will never be a father or even a friend or even show mild enthusiasm about me graduating my PhD program...I cut him for good. Best decision for my emotional well being ever!

I never get tired of this subject. (Not even just weddings, but cutting bad relatives out of our lives.) Out and about in in the world estranged adults of awful parents don’t have a lot of positive opportunities to talk about the estrangement, and it is so freeing to be able to be honest with our friends, coworkers,…

Yeah, but she was a Democrat and if she just didn’t hate guns and freedom so much, and was also armed with an assault rifle during that speech, she and others totally wouldn’t have gotten shot.

Fuck it, I don’t want a mouth full of grease/oil. That’s why I blot that bad boy, not because I want to delude myself into beleiving I’m some how saving myself calories.

I doubt it, one doesn’t get postpartum psychosis mere moments after having a baby. I think whatever mental illness she has is probably similar to whatever causes women to murder their newborns - it’s a mix of pregnancy denial (to herself as well) and a weird sort of fugue state where they don’t think what they are…

Of course that’s what you do with a stillborn baby, just throw it out the window? No grieving, no ceremony/burial?

I'm just gonna say it, I think it's super weird you have to get a license to fish, but ANYBODY can just have a kid. I feel like you should have to take a test and then pay a fee to get licensed to have children. Don't know if it would solve all these kinds of problems, but at least maybe cut down on them.

“She wasn’t even a Christian until four years ago,” he says.

“Abortion-related violence”. You mean like blowing up clinics or shooting doctors and nurses?

As a dude, this whole double standard is puzzling as hell.
