WHAT IF LADY HEATHERLEE TAKES YOUR SUNAME AND PASSES IT ON TO HER HUSBAND AND CHILDREN? PROBLEM SOLVED FOR EVERYONE.

Hey everyone! What are you reading? Just finished All the Light we Cannot See.

This happened to me Thursday morning. I was at work having a perfectly normal day until the 10am express arrived from crazy town.

I got two avulsion fractures in my ankle from tripping while stepping off a treadmill a few months ago (still in a boot and physical therapy because fuck me) so GIRL I GOT YOU.

So I’m really struggling tonight. I’m four months pregnant and my eating disorder has been nagging at me constantly for weeks. I’ve been recovered for nearly seven years and have done so much in preparation for how I’d likely react to being pregnant but I really just want to crawl into a ball and cry for days. Has…

What’s everyone’s last holiday weekend plans? I generally don’t “do” New Year’s Eve in the traditional big party sense but I’m super excited about this weekend. I rented a giant ass dumpster and I am cleansing the crap out of my house. Stuff that can be donated will be, but a lot of crap is just crap. I’m also super…

Not to mention that “an animal that shits all over the house” is also a pretty accurate description of a human baby....

Two things in this article reminded me that I have the heart of a middle-aged person, even though I’m just 27.

Margaret Cho has always been someone who lies for attention. She’s like if Marc Maron were a woman. It’s too bad because she is incredibly talented.

The write-up and comment section in the last article was straight up fucking gross, and it’s horrifying to see a community that claims feminism to so completely fail to critically examine their own assumptions. Every time someone said that Margaret looked bad, she’s a liar, she wants attention is just. . . what the…

I’m sure this minor dust-up won’t have people coming in here to drum their political opinion that Margaret Cho is “everything that’s wrong with the left” and that Swinton is ‘a weird human alien hybrid who floats through life casually ignoring her own privilege.’

Yes to all this, though I think the “intellectual labor” part goes a bit far.
Good social interaction needs a back and forth. Especially when one person values another person’s experience and wants to make sure they learn from it.
Swinton wasn’t taking credit for Cho’s effort at work. She asked for help from someone…

It’s not actually every POCs duty to be fully informed of every aspect of every debate/conversation/Twitterstorm/media appearance for their entire race, just in case some random white person wants to ask them about it. She said she was uninformed about the comics but knew a bit about the problem, and tried to help…

Saw this elsewhere:

At least you plan to go to the sink like a civilized person. I work till ten, and my plan when I get home is dragging a chair to the fridge and dipping leftover turkey straight from it’s foil cocoon into an old margarine tub filled with cranberry sauce. I will however class it up by drinking my bourbon from a glass. I…

BEAUTY THREAD!

I don’t agree, politically, with Merkel on a large slab of issues (I’m not German, but have a half-German family and am in the EU, so I know them pretty well), but we’re in new world now where “Will stand against fascism” is apparently a rare and precious commodity in a world leader.

Madison here. I haven’t noticed any safety pins yet, but I don’t work right on campus and I’ve only just started, so I haven’t been looking for them yet. I know I will be now.

I’m in rural SW Wisconsin— about an hour west of Madison. I’m hoping there’s a chapter in Madison or Dubuque.

It was all of our faults; don’t put the whole thing on yourself. But we can all think about what we’re going to do better now! Have you looked into places/organizations you can volunteer or donate to? Big Brothers/Big Sisters is one that I’ve heard is incredibly rewarding!!
