I prefer “moxie.”

You gucci. I’m 31 and I remember the MASSIVE existential crisis that hit at 24-25. I just quit my first low paying too stressful job (like...I had to...my doctor said I was on the verge of an ulcer. Quit or finish developing one). So jobless, acid eaten stress-hole in stomach, broke living in my parents house....after…

As a currently unemployed millennial who has been constantly plagued by self-doubt, olympic-level negative thinking and a recent existential crisis (do I sound insufferable enough yet) - and because somehow the anxiety got worse after 25 - I need this help in a bad way...

I love your goal! My absolute bestest advice for how to be strong and confident without being a jerk? Is to read Miss Manners whenever you get a few minutes. Browse her archives, I swear she is SO good at using etiquette and humor to demonstrate how to be, just be, a smart Woman in a dumb world. I love her to pieces,…

Ah this is the worst! I’ve experienced this somewhat, I work in the tech industry now and the only thing that has been successful for me is cutting through the degrees/titles/years and trying to connect on a general interest level. It definitely involves a level of “don’t give a shit who you are, what do you think…

I am going to lose my leg in 2017 and I am going to be okay with it. I will flourish in spite of that. This time next year I will be on the road to rehab and a return to work and travel. Sometimes getting better involves loss and I will not be afraid.

One of my big goals for 2017 is to learn an effective way to talk to men in my new field who find me threatening without resorting to minimizing or diminishing my accomplishments. This is a male dominated, ego-driven arena and while I’m used to dealing with professional sexism I’m not quite used to this context yet.

Happy New Year all!

Fuck a resolution - I’m trying to work on my perfectionism so instead of setting myself up for misery, I’ve decided 2017 will be about progress not perfection. Whatever that looks like. How are you jezzies thinking about 2017?

i had nightmares in Russian

Honest to god, I woke up sweating from a nightmare about this last week: he got a hold of my kids. I cant’t believe I’m having nightmares about Russians. Thanks, Trump!

One of my favorite movies this year was “The Handmaiden.” It’s a Korean film, starring Korean actors (duh), and it’s loosely based on a Victorian England-based novel called “Fingersmith.”

Jesus is no one familiar with the Red Wedding? It’s in a book and a TV show. This is a big ol’ trap.

Putin also announced that his administration will pick the American children up in an unmarked white van to take the to the party, where there will be lots and lots of candy!

This is like when President Snow invited all of the kids to his palace for “their” protection.

Putin: *does increasingly creepy things we can’t do anything about or even really understand because we don’t have his james bond villain brain*

This was amazing. Thank you for writing!

HamNo, you fucking communist:

Youre supposed to shoot them out the window, dummy.
