ugh.

Honestly, unless Ben was joking about “grabbing women by the pussy”, I doubt anyone really would have cared what he said after this weekend.

I think he’s talking about the fact that NBC found the tape early last week and didn’t air it. They claim they were waiting until Monday, but it makes no sense whatsoever to sit on a bombshell for the better part of a week when you could get scooped at any time. The speculation is that someone sent the footage to WaPo…

I feel the exact opposite. This was their day in the sun and last chance at relevancy. They finally found each other. Sure, they will still bomb an occasional abortion clinic and seize an unoccupied wildlife refuge here and there, but history and demographics and progress will soon send them back under their rocks. We…

The irony is that Trump, who makes fun of chokers, is a major choker. He choked so bad during and after the last debate, going off the rails talking about Sean Hannity, repeating himself, then waking up at 3:00 in the morning to tweet about a 19 year old beauty queen, etc.

Same! My parents turned out to be basically everyone I know in Park Slope, just 25 years ahead of their time. And for the most part, I’ve very grateful because I love a variety of interesting, healthy foods but they were so nuts about sugar and junk food and now I have almost no self control around that stuff. I’m…

Uh huh, because some people are told if they leave they will lose their job and they are poor enough that they stay because they must. Or they have no transportation. Or they have no money for fuel to leave. Or they just got leave as of today and are stuck on the highway like my brother, his wife, and their five…

Kelly said on that fashion program she did that Christina Aguilera was horrifically cruel to her about her weight, making fun of her and trash talking her appearance. Kelly asserted that turnabout was fair play. I don’t think that was very generous/forgiving of her, but she was young and still hurt.

She was raised to treat him like a precious child who can’t help himself. He was always a violent, completely self-absorbed, drugged up slut.

NO NO NO

I don’t wanted to be disrespectful of the dead but one time I happened to glance at the feet of the woman in the stall next to me (it was shoe thang. I just can’t help myself) Anyway these feet were in flip flops. They were crusted with spray on tanner, the nails were so long they curled over onto the floor and they…

I summon the Jezzie who is the reason I will never eat pumpkin seeds again.

Once I walked into a public bathroom at work that usually has a tiny little garbage can next to the toilet for throwing away used pads/tampons. Someone before me had knocked it over, though, because there were pads and tampons all over the floor in various states of toilet paper unwrap and bloodiness.

I’m seriously feeling the “take everyone’s guns away, they lost their damn privilege,” stance. Buuuuut I know it is crazy taboo to say anything close to that so, “hey guys, how about more gun control??”

The Washington Post, I think, did a great take down about how he keeps invoking Brittany even they spilt over a decade ago. Also how his story kept changing on her too. It also focused on her comeback.

Not me, exactly but the two women walking toward me in a sporting good store. That was the moment when the zipper on my sport bra gave up the game completely and unzipped so fast I could not even react. Both sides of this stupid bra pop out of the sides of my summer dress like weird ass wings and oh boy, did I wish I…

One time I got this series of texts from my dad:

unless he was overly hairy, i bet he looked absolutely lovely in it.

Particularly frustrating that so many well-meaning, progressive people seem to define racism purely in terms of attitudes and language rather than structural economic forces. You can’t solve this by yelling at people for using problematic language on Twitter. But that stuff sucks up such a huge portion of the…

The wild speculation happening in the comments section here is making me profoundly uncomfortable. This is an abhorrent thing that has harmed we can’t even guess how many children and it’s basically gossip fodder. I’m uncomfortable for the people being named who have no connection to this other than that it would be…
