Oh yikes, that’s rough. Poor you, poor mom, poor pupper. I’d talk to her and maybe offer to pay for —ideally with a few other neighbors— a dog obedience class in the area. You might even be pro-active and come with information about breed-specific rescue groups in case she realizes she’s bitten off more than she can

If I have learned anything from a lifetime of fun cars, daily drivers, and generations of unfaithful men in my family it is this: Never Marry Your Mistress. Get yourself a sensible, pre-owned Toyota or something for your daily driver and have something fun on the side to fool around with. Then if you get bored in a

The first year of living together is basically a nightmare punctuated by sex and trips to Home Depot, so you’re not alone on this. I lived completely alone from 17 to 31 and when I first moved in with my man I legit had to lock myself in a quiet room to get some space and he took it very personally until he understood

If it’s not directly covered under your insurance, most decent-sized American companies have an EAP, Employee Assistance Program that provides a certain number of no-cost (in my experience) therapy sessions a year. Good luck and kick anxiety’s ass!

Switching from something like wine to soda water with bitters or a splash of Campari can still tickles those pleasure centers, but your overall alcohol intake can be much lower.

Theory A: Haunted Doll tea party that only needs one living person to open a vortex into Hell

Damn. I hate your husband too! I’m so sorry you have to deal with that nonsense. Feed him to the Mola Mola. He’s not technically a jellyfish, but he seems toxic and boneless, so maybe it’ll count?

That isn’t something I’ve personally experienced in something in most of my relationships so it’s not a foregone conclusion, but I’ve certainly seen it at play plenty of times and yes, it is absolutely a product of male entitlement and that good ol’ Toxic Masculinity that forbids men to entertain the thought that they

I’m partial to Dolt 45 at the moment, but Lil’ Donnie Two Scoops is pretty good.

I am only saying this because I know none of my twelve wonderful nephews will see this, but your kid is the best kid. Lil Judging You At Church Face knocked me down and The Flash finished me off.

I wonder why they’re rallying in Boston instead of Baltimore.

What a great idea! Sometimes I’m in the mood for something a little brighter than an olive martini but a little deeper than a gibson, and this seems just right.

I read it late at night and my “BITCH WHAT?” was so loud it woke up my dogs.

And you can bet they never fucking forgot her tonedeaf cookie-baking comment. I was maybe 11 and still remember how furious women were. And I honestly think the homemakers (who kinda had a point) got over it faster than the career women who’d been salty about being forced to make cookies for school bake sales to keep

Ah yes, One of the Good Ones, from the makers of I’m Not Racist But and One Of My Best Friends Is ____, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oh He’s So Eloquent

Miley, listen to Auntie Dolly, do an album of lo-fi classic country covers. There is nothing your target audience loves more than slow gritty covers of Jolene.

My man, who is not wise in the ways of Amazon, bought me an immersion circulator for my birthday and it was super sweet except for two problems: He didn’t change the payment method and he bought it at a huge discount from a just-launched seller. Of course it was a scam and of course it never arrived, so basically I

Oh damn Panecito, I’m sorry. I straight up gasped when she wanted to wear a MAGA shirt with you. That’s some advanced-placement shit. From someone who’s been there in a slightly different way (What did you say Pop? Visit? Sorry, I can’t hear you over that big beautiful see through wall you voted to build) I can say it

I have to teach idioms a lot, so I’m going to answer this assuming you’re goodhearted and genuinely asking what it means. Blood is thicker than water doesn’t mean what most people think. It’s “the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb.” It comes from a 15th century middle-english poem and

Yesterday there was this white LGBTQ woman complaining that if statues of Robert E. Lee are going to be taken down, then statues of MLK should come down because he didn’t believe in gay marriage and she was FULL of great ideas on how to protest the “right” way. Basically ask nicely and don’t cause trouble (which is
