When I got my first big promotion, only one coworker threw a fit about it. He was in his mid-50s and didn’t understand why a woman half his age was being promoted, when he hadn’t had a raise in ages. When I mentioned this to my boss, she asked me how many trainings he had attended; how many times he filled in for…

A decade ago, I worked at Victoria’s Secret for a couple of months. One morning, when I came in, the store manager pulled me aside to tell me that one of my direct reports was going to be late and she didn’t want me to be caught off-guard by the reason. Apparently, her daughter spent the weekend with her ex-husband,…

I was raised in an Evangelical cult-adjacent church, and the bullying I survived at school was nothing compared to what I dealt with at church. I would spend Sunday School hiding in the bathroom to avoid the demons in class. The way they treated me (and others) was a huge part of my loss of faith and now atheism. I…

It’s right up there with bragging about how good he is in bed/how well endowed he is.

Yeah, I had a fuck buddy who ran triathalons, etc. His body was perfection. But he once made me wait over 2 hours while he “finished up at the gym” (I assumed he meant closer to 20 minutes and planned accordingly). And all he ever talked about was his workout or diet or upcoming races... that was his entire…

My cats seem to believe I need a lot of support in the bathroom. Closing the door means they scratch at the door, cry, and stick their paws underneath as if they are feeling for me. So I rarely close it. If I’m on the toilet, my taller one will get up on her hind legs and cradle my face in her paws for kisses while my…

I desperately miss UnReal. I don’t even watch any of the Bachelor franchise, but that show was fucking amazing.

I watched it, then introduced a friend to it. She said she hated it, but kept insisting on watching one more episode “because I still don’t know what the fuck is happening”. And thus we binged the first season. I’m curious if she will watch season 2. I’m watching because it’s my exact brand of trash candy--dark,…

Which ruined that whole storyline from Ex-Gf, as I was totally rooting for her and Greg until New Greg appeared. I’m sure he’s a talented actor, but he doesn’t have the charisma of Santino. There was something special that he brought to the role that Skylar just doesn’t have. It was a big issue for me and really took…

That was my biggest takeaway from that show, too! Take away the insane money and tv theatrics, and it’s completely him. I’m so glad someone else saw the similarities!

I was just reading an article on my commute about why young people hate Pete, and this was a big part of it. Basically, he is the person our parents pushed us to be, and instead of using his positions of power to improve things substantially, he pretends to be progressive while pushing for the status quo. It’s a very…

Is there a chance of putting these on a Spotify playlist? I haven’t heard many of these songs and would love to give them a listen, but Youtube is blocked at work and I can stream Spotify through my phone. 

Thanks for the correction; I can now comfortably oppose this wholeheartedly.

A child I was babysitting once threw a tantrum and when I sent him to his room to calm down, retorted “I don’t like you very much right now!” The feeling was mutual, as was the love when he came downstairs 10 minutes later and gave me a sniffly hug. It’s one of my favorite memories of that little guy, and a perfect…

Anything that helps me ingest cannabis without announcing “I’m smoking weed!” to the world gets my support.

Scott Disick activates something in my reptile brain that reminds me of why I don’t let my vagina make decisions. He’s objectively a garbage person, and yet I would bang him like a screen door. I don’t know what that says about me.

I read/heard (can’t remember which) that this was a way to strengthen the case that anti-Semitism can be prosecuted as hate speech, and that this change has wide support by groups like the ACLU. That sounds great in theory, but I’m skeptical of anything that Trump does that claims to “protect” a minority class,…

This is what happen when men write female characters. I generally love Perrotta, but this book was far less enjoyable than this others.

As a woman with incredibly questionable taste in men, I can see the appeal if I look sideways and squint a bit. I imagine he has some level of charisma, which can go a long way. He seems to be incredibly confident while also really vulnerable, which can be an attractive combination. Add in his other “assets” and I can…

My partner harasses me about this all the time, and frankly, it’s hard to know where to draw the line. I am a huge classic rock fan, and all of those guys fucked underage groupies. It was just what they did. Some of those girls grew into women who felt victimized; others didn’t want  that moniker. I struggle with how…
