Ok, here goes. Writing this out makes me want to barf. 

Around five years ago, I was a TA for an undergraduate literature course that had 300 students; there were two TAs and our job was mostly to do grading (sigh) and hand out exams and set up PowerPoints and stuff of that nature. Basically, assist the professor in all manner of tedium while she lectured. Due to a…

Tried posting this one a few years ago, but was too late. Not a ghost story, but it’s one of the scariest things that’s ever happened to me.

THAT IS HORRIBLE. I’m so sorry that that happened and so glad that you were ok.

I’m going to post a second story. I saw my dad.

This story isn’t supernatural but it’s 100% true and probably the closest I’ve (knowingly) come to being in serious trouble.

GAH. This is my actual nightmare. Not as bad at all, but one night when I was like, 20 and driving home alone from a movie, this guy followed me flashing his high beams for miles. I was taking a weird country road home, so it was really unlikely he happened to be going that way. He was incessant. Never beeped, but…

A couple of months ago, my boyfriend and I were walking back to our house from an event at a local hipstery bar in our neighborhood in Indianapolis. Ours is the poster child for hipster neighborhoods. I always feel very safe being out and about, even if I’m alone.

Reposting my tale of my almost-murder from last year.

My senior year of college, my boyfriend lived off campus and so we spent a lot of time at his place. It was out in the middle of no where, surrounded by woods and only accessible by this one lane country road. One night, around Halloween, we decided to watch the movie The Strangers. It’s a horror movie about a couple…

the mug thing actually happens a lot if you put cold water in the glass, and condensed water forms a seal around the bottom edge. Air trapped beneath the glass will actually cause the glass to move or float across a surface. Fun fact.

When I was 12, I was waking home in the cold winter. A car approached me and offered a ride (this was before cell phones). I said no, and the car followed me the whole way home, attempting to get me back in. Finally, I ran into someone’s front porch that was unlocked (because I didn’t want the guy to know where I…

What he’s missing is that it doesn’t have to be Wonder Woman OR Sarah Connor— we can have BOTH. They’re completely different women, because there isn’t just one type of woman, and the idea that we can only have one archetype of feminist icon is fucking stupid.

Yeah? Feminists blame the beautiful, needy, aggressive young women for their affairs?

My (overvalued) $.02:

This is window dressing, a meaningless gesture to appease ‘traditional Conservative Republicans’ and the Generals.

Bannon will say he will continue to support the Circus Peanut’s agenda, early Redditors/Breitfarters will be mad initially but briefly, and the bullshit will continue.

“If HBO wants to do a show about the enslavement of black people, Underground exists, and it’s still looking for a home, and that is helmed by a black woman”

Stop liking what I don’t like.

I like to think that Gwen Stefani doesn’t actually understand the point of lingerie, and so she’s purchased ALL the lingerie and puts it all on at the same time so she looks like the boudoir version of one of those people who tries to break the “most t-shirts worn at once” record.

As a performer, you would think he could have handled it with more grace.

I absolutely support a person’s right to say no. No unwanted attention, no unwanted touching. Ever.
