“if not, not big deal" was my favorite part. It IS a big fucking deal man...just not the way you think.

I enjoy various media with a purpose (the beautiful cervix project that helps cervix-havers understand health and what’s going on up there throughout your cycle - the great wall of vagina that highlighted natural variation in labia in response to rising cosmetic reconstructive surgery). I even have a wall tapestry…

Ok maybe our pop culture references vary but...let me tell you the first thing I think of when I hear Chuckie is NOT cute.

My partner and I have "joke" about digging a paupers grave in the yard and shooting each other at the same time when it's time to "retire."

100x this. Honestly I’m struggling with this article after both the author and Rich recently penned long screeds that amounted to “stop shaming me for continuing to party with my friends during a pandemic.”

Yeah I mean no complaint from me there, our systems and procedures are fundamentally fucked and this particular example highlights that pretty well...

From my (albeit brief) research, it looks like Kamala could over rule this if she wanted to. BUT if the parliamentarian’s call was right all along it just opens them up to court challenges that could hold up other important pieces of the stimulus bill. It sucks, but it was the trade-off for getting around a republican…

Preach! My first job out of college I worked on a team of similarly-aged people where we talked waaaay too much about our personal lives (we became friends outside of work as well fwiw). Guess what got complicated and messy???? But I can't even begin to fathom a world where anyone thinks it's ok to broach these topics…

This reminded me of sitting through hours of Serve Safe certification in college, and every day they’d take us to the dorm cafeteria for lunch. Objectively the worst place you can take a group of people after drilling scary food safety facts into their heads. It was like a slo-mo horror scene of suddenly noticing all…

I'm very interested in reading her book! I took a few months off early in the pandemic when I started to slip into stress drinking, and am just having my first beer after a couple weeks off post-holidays and seasonal depression drinking. Definitely feel you on the not addicted but have poor impulse control bit. I…

Maybe I’m reading this all wrong but I feel like this woman is getting thrown under the bus unfairly. My understanding is that she just made a bureaucratic call - because they’re using budget reconciliation this measure isn’t constitutional/legal/whatever. The government is full of unelected officials who have the…

Bush's baked beans - they're not inherently gross but I used to insist on taking a can or two with me on vacation just in case, and used to receive the little personal sized cans for birthdays and holidays.

Reconsidering my life because I still like doing both those things...

Oh yeah 100%, I’m just talking shop price. I have a big glass of (cheap) wine *before* I go out to avoid the restaurant mark-up so definitely not a connoisseur of fine dining :)

A friend who worked in the wine industry firmly believed (privately) that there was rarely a reason to spend more than $30 a bottle. I’m not really a steak person but I have to imagine it’s the same? I’m more willing to pay extra for “happy” local meat than prize cuts though so I’m also probably the wrong demographic.

Northampton is the PTown of western mass - a progressive haven for LGBTQ folks that does not translate into being a safe area for BIPOC folks despite the desire to be seen as such (see: the Black student harassed for eating in a dorm lounge). That said, as a Bostonian, I feel like Boston just keeps shoving anyone who…

In my almost 30 years of being a woman but using men’s bathrooms when the line is shorter, I've ALSO never seen anyone's genitals and they're literally out in their hands!

My sister made a good point about this, or at least Vogt specifically, and the tendency of toxic white male ‘allies’ to surround themselves with the right people and causes and language to provide them a cover of ‘woke cred.’ Then the people they hurt get gaslit by them and everyone else who thinks they’re such a nice…

My partner's parents are Evangelicals, and his response was always is your faith so weak that it can't handle someone else's beliefs?

I can’t speak to the crack alone, but I do use the terms "wedgie" and "fredgie" to differentiate in times of discomfort.
