If there’s anything I’d like to give up, it’s disliking myself as much. Loving myself seems out of reach right now. I’m just focusing on not loathing myself quite as much and treating myself with more kindness and understanding.

I’m asexual and a woman. I am definitely oblivious when people are flirting with me, but I deal out definite rejection as soon as I figure out that they want sex. Personally, I think wasting someones’ time is basically the worst thing you can do to someone.

“But the embarrassment that comes with being a woman can feel wholly inevitable: Being too forward; talking too much; not talking enough; seeming too shy; texting too soon; coming across like a bitch or coming across as too easy. For every overstep there’s the possibility I’ll lose ground just standing still. The fear…

For men, interactions with women are a zero-sum game. If she wins, he loses. He doesn’t want to be a loser, so in every encounter she has to lose in order to reaffirm his manhood.

I’m a gay man but I have male and female friends. One thing I’ve noticed in talking with my guy friends about women is that, in general, men do not respect women.

Despite everything, I still hope that the Democrats stay strong, pass a clean continuing resolution after January 3rd, and let the Orange Foolius suck on it. He’s got over seven billion $$ unspent from the last two years in the border security budget. Add to that the $1.6 B additional that the Democrats are willing…

This is our daily reminder that this shutdown was brought to us by President Donald Trump, who “proudly” shut down portions of the federal government in order to gain “border security” through funding for a physical barrier that will do approximately fuck and all to prevent undocumented immigration.

The wall is just a…

I subscribe to the view that everything Trump does should be viewed through the lens of his raging narcissism. Everything he does has a single purpose — to avoid shame (or the perception that others are shaming him). Creating situations, real or fake, where he receives praise allows him to escape shame, if only…

Yes, it is horrible that Trump was able to dodge the draft. But he’d be the last person I’d want in a foxhole watching my six.

Essential Federal employee here.

I know a couple that have been married for 10+ years and fight all.the.time. They have two kids who are shy and stressed out. I don’t understand why they stay married. Of course, I've been single forever, which means I haven't been in a serious fight forever. No one has said anything truly mean to me in years. I can't…

What’s worse here, the crime or the cover up?  

“Pecker, Cohen, and Trump, just three men in a room talking about hush money payments.”

A little walk outside in nature in a quiet setting; listen to a meditation podcast.

Yes! And a good book in there with me.

Did you ever see an investigation more in search of a crime?

When you are in mourning, you do not know when you have overstepped some invisible boundary set by someone to say your sadness is Too Much, that you are just looking for sympathy, that you are asking for attention, that perhaps, you have not lost as much as another person whose loss is much more tragic and you do not…

So I’ve posted before on SNS recently that I was preparing to leave my husband. Well tonight’s night 3 in my apartment. The very first time I’ve ever lived alone as an adult. It’s surreal. I spent the day either on the bed smoking a bowl or unpacking & making space for my sofa delivery & assembly tomorrow.  I can’t…
