She belongs in jail, Tracy.

It doesn’t come off incel at all since you’re actually taking the time to reflect about yourself AND a woman gave you con-crit and you LISTENED.

Now is my least favorite time of the year because I like to cook and love to bake. The heat, the infernal heat, makes turning on the oven or even a stovetop burner a bridge too far.

You sound totally and completely A) interesting and fun and B) NORMAL. Two long term relationships by age 28 was hella more than I had going on at that age (she said, rocking back and forth and offering you a Werther’s).

sinking feeling of realizing while I’ll measure up to be someone somebody could potentially admire, like, or love one day, it sure as fuck wouldn‘t be today.

I can’t think of a single other way (but sexual assault and rape) where someone could commit a crime, film the crime, share the video bragging about the crime by name, and avoid all consequence because of their family or grades.

This happened about 6 months after my rape, in almost the same circumstances, except there was no video and I was a 31 year old woman. Of the 8 people I’ve told about it, 6 have asked me why I didn’t go to the police. This is why. It doesn’t matter. No one will believe you.

He is retired but had been recalled from retirement on this particular case (super common in NJ due to lots of shortages in the judiciary). He has since been recalled again, most recently in 2018 for a two-year term beginning January 1, 2019. So he is on the bench right now unless something has changed since that…

No one else in the comments is freaking out about his fucking ‘prosecutors “should have explained to the girl and her family that pressing charges would destroy the boy’s life.”’ bullshit. He’s literally saying that these people should have cared more about this fucking rapists life prospects (which I assure you will…

He is clearly a candidate for not just college but probably for a good college,

“According to the Times, the appellate court’s decision means the case will now be moved from family court and G.M.C. will now be considered an adult. A grand jury will decide whether to indict him on sexual assault charges.”

Cut off the ex. He’s proven himself to be controlling and manipulative. Also, if he’s keeping you around until he can find something better or just needs you for the comfort, that’s detrimental to you and any possibilities that could enter your life.

I love trash books and trash TV, so imagine my delight when Lifetime revealed to me that they are now turning VC Andrews Casteel family series into a movie series. Anyone else read those books? The woman playing Heaven looks nothing like I imagined, but I can't wait for this. Why must I wait until the end of July for…

How you did not sink that damn boat with both your parents trussed like turkeys in the bow is a miracle.

3 years ago. Went to a graduation of a cousin getting out of college on the West Coast with my dad and my sister. Take a late flight from the east coast and get in kind of late into Sacramento. Get rental vehicle and head to the hotel for the night. Get out of vehicle and proceed to rip and fall onto my left shoulder…

In 2008, my mother spent $5,800 (Canadian) on a weeklong houseboat rental at Sproat Lake as a 20th-wedding anniversary present for my husband. Included: our two young children, and my parents - a package deal from hell. Also: neither my husband or I were consulted about this - we were told the reservation was…

My family once decided to drive almost 2.500 miles from Fairbanks, Alaska to a small town in Eastern Washington. We were going to my uncle’s wedding. Taking advantage of the fact the whole family was getting together, there was an intervention planned the day before for another uncle who was an alcoholic. On one hand…

Here in Oklahoma, it’s hot, humid, and hella windy.

At the end of eighth grade I had a falling out with my friend group. We by far weren’t the ‘top dog’ clique but I’d say we were somewhere B or C range? My alleged best friend had a crush on this guy that had no idea she existed, but he suddenly had noticed I existed and was very interested. This of course got me…
