I value my childless friends even more now that I’ve been subjected to mommy groups. The sanctimommies might be judging you, but the rest of us are silently pleading for you to converse with us about the news or fave tv shows or beloved alcoholic beverages. We need you (to keep us sane) just as much as you need us (to…

There’s this like, really old interweb community that I found maybe 12 years ago, and their whole thing is the eradication of humanity for the betterment of the planet by not procreating. While I’ve never shared the extreme sentiment, they did ask a question that I have never been able to answer, and nobody I’ve posed…

I...I feel the same. it’s not that I don’t care anymore, but I definitely don’t have the emotional capacity to dedicate to it anymore. I dislike feeling like this, but I’m spent. I’ve even gone as far as making internal rules like “no clicking Donald Trump stories” and stuff to preserve my sanity. I’m just done.

I was too scared of my mom to rebel much further than that, but it was worth it. I think it sucked separating them, but it really set the tone for the rest of the series, and set up Cordy and Angel nicely for the spinoff. Their love was always doomed, and it was important we see the darkside so we’d always remember it…

My kid was Donald Duck. He wasn’t supposed to be wearing pants, but we had a cold snap, and those were the only orange pants Value Village had on short notice. He looks preposterous (he’s really tall and skinny so things that are the right length are often too long in the arms and super wide, I know it looks too big…

I hate shift work, it makes me late to comment on everything. I wasn’t allowed to watch secular things growing up without supervision and BtVS was defs not on the approved list so I used to sneak downstairs at midnight (circa 2002-2003) to watch the reruns until I eventually caught up. I must’ve watched the first two…

To me, it honestly had nothing to do with whether they’re black, white, purple or people eaters (though I see what you’re saying and would agree that there are others who probably do have the sexually aggressive stereotype in mind, and fuck those folks) but it felt more like “the lady, she doth protest too much”. The…

I lold at the Gordon Ramsey reference because that’s the only Gordon Ramsey tutorial I’ve ever watched, and I’ve been meaning to do it, and I mean recently. Remove the pan from the heat and stir, put it back for a second, rinse and repeat, mix in some creme fraiche

Thank you so much for listening (reading?), it means a lot to me. I’m thankful for Jezfriends who make me feel not crazy and validate my feelings and just listen sometimes <3

I’ve honestly been a bit miffed that this show hasn’t been covered by Jez in previous seasons. It shows the struggles of the working poor! Interracial couplings (um, almost all of the Gallagher children have been in an interracial relationship at some point, nevermind Kev and Veronica. Even MONICA has been in one)!…

Seeing it in writing is a double edged sword, because I wonder if anyone else is looking at it and seeing that I’m the unreasonable one, which I can’t see, but I also feel like I’ve given everything I have to give and don’t have anything left. It’s comforting to know I put it out there, but the sad thing is MIL is a…

I’m late to the party, but I just need a space to rant, because my friends are great, but sometimes screaming into the void is cathartic. This is gonna be so long guys, sorry.

My dad’s aunt (they were like, ten years apart and grew up “together”, becoming extremely close friends in adulthood) died a few months before I was born at a youngish age. From the stories I’ve heard, I’ve been able to feel my dad’s loss as my own and feel like she’s my sister in spirit. I am right there with you,…

I have been looking forward to watching this for MONTHS but Netflix Canada got rid of all the Park Chan-wook movies. In a total non-fetishy way, I am obsessed with Korean cinema, Park in particular. Any Canadians know any other way I can watch it?

Pretty sure Kevin follows the Trumps on Twitter so he’s got my vote

You need to tell her. If she’s really your friend, she’ll understand, and if you’re really hers you won’t let her continue to live like she has been. She can’t fix it if she doesn’t know it’s a problem. I’ve been in the same boat, and it’s awkward af, but in my case my friend was so inured to the smell she didn’t even…

It isn’t the same physiological process...if they don’t get inseminated (and you’re an asshole who hasn’t spayed your bitch) their body reabsorbs the endometrium and they can have small amounts of blood in their discharge.

A) if he was born in ‘71, that would make him 45

No, second and third cousins mean your parents or grandparents were cousins respectively and are in the same generation as you, your parent’s cousins or the children of your cousins are your cousins once removed and so on so forth

...no it would be your second cousin. Your father’s cousin or your cousin’s children would be your cousin once removed and your parent’s second cousin’s children are your third cousins.
