Or the inverse happens - “geez, why is she YELLING? It’s like women can’t argue rationally - and they’re SO shrill”.

Okay. No, not everyone is loved, not in a way that can reach them or touch them or that matters in the worst moments, even if I wish it could. It probably feels purely demonstrative or facetious or intangible. I’m not trying to be superficial or crass or to provide something empty or rose-tinted. (I also can’t figure…

OK, so that’s actually perfect. 2 Oreos for breakfast, a bowl of spaghetti for lunch, 3 Oreos for dinner, and 1 Oreo for dessert. Alternatively, you could have that 1 Oreo as a midday snack if you’re feeling sluggish. But track it, so you remember you already ate it so you don’t eat it for dessert.

By FAR the best here. I actually don’t mind Hathaway’s except for that stupid neck choker thing.

This might sound completely stupid, but sometimes I think about looking for things to go get addicted to. Between work and school, I’m really cracking under pressure. I go to school an hour away from where I live, because I had to go to the best school in the state, so now I’m the only nontraditional student and one…

I think about this everyday. On the outside I am a fairly successful attorney/writer working in nonprofit in DC. I volunteer, I went to law school as a second career late in life. I travel extensively and I’m a photographer who takes pretty good wildlife shots.

Many of the most successful, self-possessed, vibrant, independent women in my life struggle mightily with depression and anxiety, and go between wanting to put it all out there — listen, if I can live through this, so can you — and wanting to keep it all hidden, because showing weakness will ruin her capacity to be a…

It really speaks to the need to destigmatize mental illness. Whether it’s situation depression or a chronic disgnosis, it’s part of the human condition and admitting that only makes it easier for others to talk about their experiences and realize they are not alone.

I have a kid who’s 6 months from being 18...and has no earthly clue how much the real world costs and doesn’t give a single fuck about you. Not that we haven’t tried (Oh lord, the trying has damn near killed me), but at this point Mr. Levy and I just have to be like, “He’ll learn, one way or another.”

There have been lots of historical comparisons made with Trump, including Mussolini, Silvio Berlusconi, Kaiser Wilhelm and others. But I am beginning to think a better comparison might be Czar Peter III, the short-lived husband of Catherine the Great. He reputedly hated being Czar and was far too shallow and feckless…

The Supreme Court decision has everyone talking and it goes without saying IANAL, but shouldn’t the whole “I can’t bake your wedding cake because of religion” be an easy case to litigate?

If only there was some easy way they could look up how google works.

Several, including a ginger who dyes her hair the “right” shade of ginger because hers is a tad too golden...in sunlight.

My father died when I was 24, but my mother only passed last year. She was generally doing well, but wanting to downsize, etc. Then she got sick about five years ago. Really sick. Four hospitalizations in six weeks, and two extensive rehab stays. She was 82 at the time. She never fully came back, which is typical. It…

Yes. My dad was recently diagnosed with lung cancer, and his prognosis is not good. It’s particularly crushing because I am very pregnant, my parents are several hours away, and I can’t travel to stay with them to help. To make it worse, my company is like most in the United States, and I have to use up my FMLA time…

I actually made sure my two kids went away and weren’t stuck here — even though “here” isn’t an actual shithole. After my brother died I felt like I didn’t even have the possibility to leave. He killed himself and that just ruined them and I felt responsible even though they never ever made me feel that way. So, when…

Evening, Jezzies!

Stamping! Freehand is a whooooole nother level.

There’s obviously overlap in the ASPD spectrum, but I’m not convinced he’s shown enough disregard for his own well-being to merit the psychopathy label.

so.
