Jezebel’s announcement was up before CNN and HuffPo... nice job.

This really hit me hard. My grandmother lived the life Betty wished she had: loving husband and kids, supportive family, fulfillment in homemaking. She was the quintessential 50’s housewife, who smoked like a fiend and died in 1975 from lung and breast cancer. Watching Betty get diagnosed reminded me of what it must…

I was interning at a company that didn’t have the budget to hire me full-time,. My boss referred me to a close friend that worked at a competitor. She desperately needed another team member with my specific skill set - our industry is highly regulated and specialized - and offered me the job hours after my first…

you must be really fun at parties.

I completely believe that behavior of Catholics.

I started taking the pill when my boyfriend and I got serious four years ago. I love 18 hour periods and an evening out of the depression I grew up with . But it also removed almost all other emotions, eliminated my sex drive, and made me gain weight. But 18 hour periods! Recently horrible stomach problems without any…

I work for an international, fortune 500 company in a smaller division focusing on a single local market. Sixty-five percent of the people who work in this company are women. In my division, all of the senior staff/directors except the CFO and CEO are women. We all think the men are idiots. They aren’t given…

You could say they're now going in TWO Directions...

Holy crap. I have this. I have been with my boyfriend for six years, lived with him for one, and we've never had sex. We have TRIED to, but it just physically wouldn't go in because I get so freaked out. I grew up Catholic and even though my head is completely progressive, everyone…

it looks like she pulled something off the back of his neck and then ate it :/

Where can I get a generally good cup of coffee if Starbucks is apparently so shitty? I like Starbucks. I like caramel macchiatos. Where can I get one that is socially acceptable?

I received a very thoughtful selection of electronics and video games - Speakers, Destiny for XboX, Tropico 5 for PC. I am DYING to dig into everything but am at the parents' house until Saturday. So for now I dick around on my Macbook Air watching Lifetime movies with my mother and wishing I'd brought my Xbox with…

I always assumed he was saying "dalek" until my boyfriend corrected me. I thought he was secretly a Doctor Who fan.

WHY does every single hip-hoppy song released this year have those random deep-voiced men in the background going "hey!" over and over again???? Who are those men???? Why are they always saying "hEY"???? What does everyone use them??? These are questions me and my bottle of Friday night wine would like answered.

When I lived with my best friend, we named our network "2Girlz1Wifi" and someone complained to the landlord that it was too obscene so we changed it to "Thicket of Solitude" because we were too 90's to be controlled. We had the best network name amongst all the default Netgear5's.

My mom did this to me to great effect. If I wanted something from the toy section, it had to be the greatest value at the lowest price. I always had to come to her with the item and explanation as to why it would be worth buying. Helped me find bargains and understand value and carries over today to my "this is really…

That a famous adult man would engage in a relationship with a fan in her mid-teens is accepted as "part of the culture," rather than challenged as a damaging and fucked up rite of passage sprung on girls who don't know what they're getting themselves into.
