The thought of someone raping Little Miss Sunshine is giving me the worst cross of murderous rage and horrific sadness. Take care sweet Abagail.

I do have a great deal of prejudice against people who hold simplistic opinions and think that that’s because they’re cutting through all the bullshit, instead of just being a product of gross ignorance and naivete.

This is the “moral view” of substance abuse and addiction, most popular in the 1940s and prior, before we knew a damn thing, and - as you so wonderfully demonstrate - still implicitly pervasive in our society’s view of addiction today, despite unequivocal evidence that the moral view is bullshit. Many people…

I swear every addict I know won the DARE essay contest! I’m 34 & I won mine in 5th grade-became an addict at 19. Clean now thankfully.

They don’t cover it in the spot per se (because it’s an ad, not a documentary) but what isn’t mentioned is the insane, crushing levels of opioid addiction in middle America/the working class. Plenty of people start out on pills (often beginning with a legal prescription) get hooked, and find that heroin is much…

Nah, looks like everyone has takedowns of your “I swear I care about injustice, but maybe try not breaking the law if you don’t want to deal with the consequences of breaking the law” covered, so I’m free to keep giving you shit for being a dumbass. Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but I think letting people with…

But in the meantime it is still a law and breaking that law for recreational use is a choice.

Donald Trump: orders women to pee on a mattress.

You’re right, some of it is more subtle. The generation gap between women and the difference in sexual harassment is interesting. My mom was in the military for the 80s and half of the 90s, and I grew up hearing her talk openly about sexism and sexual harassment/assault in the workplace. It made me very aware of…

One of my earliest bosses in the financial industry started showing me a lot of attention; a more sophisticated friend warned me “you’d better watch out, because he’s into you”. I was so naive that I actually said “Oh, no, he couldn’t be. He’s married” (I know, right?)

About a decade ago, I interviewed for the job I currently have, teaching at a college. I believe you should wear one memorable item to a job interview—nothing too crazy or flashy, but something that might put a little pop in your outfit. I chose to wear red shoes to this interview; they were flats, like Mary Janes, in…

It’s okay for her not to stand up for herself at age 18 - he was her boss, and she didn’t yet know how to assert herself in a way that she felt comfortable. Letting a guy’s creepy response ruin her night at age 28? Either she needed to say something then or let it not scar her. Just let it be one moment of “EW” and…

Wow. This article. I am still getting over/in the midst of this. To the degree where it all peaked with the male boss showing up at my house, uninvited, unwelcome and unannounced. He’s still employed by my company and I rage every time I have to sit in the same room as him. Not to mention how everything with him and…

My first long-term job in an 80% male department in a huge bank, I had to put up with a (admittedly attractive) boss that would subtly flirt with me for 4 years. Looking back, I’m even wondering if his thing for me wasn’t what got me hired. He was always trying to get hugs, coming to my cubicle section when I worked…

i can identify so much with this. my first full-time industry gig, the publisher always toed the line in a way that made me feel dirty but also made it hard to call him on it sometimes. shit like, if we were out of town on a business trip, call me to his room to discuss the next day’s schedule then answer the door in…

When I poop I feel like I should give presents to the OTHER unfortunate souls in the house :( sorry everybody

I mean, I wouldn’t turn something down because I do love presents, but yeah. That’s the goal, that’s what will make me happiest, anything else is just icing on the cake.

I'm just coming here to say that my push present was my baby. That's it.

I have a friend that received a Chanel baby bag the same year that her husband got himself a girlfriend as the “push present”. Totally a causation equaling correlation event.

I pushed three gigantic babies out of me and I all got was a bladder sling.
