It’s always me calling him on the phone and asking him for advice/begging him to come see me or help me, and him refusing. For example, I had a dream where it was the apocalypse due to a brutal alien invasion (we’re talking genocide, finding piles of bodies, but apparently cell towers were still working?) and I wanted…

I eat quite a bit of meat, but once when I was living with a vegetarian friend we found a faux-schnitzel that was technically a milk product, but tasted exactly like a pork cutlet. I wish I could remember what it was called...

I’m sorry about all of this... It might make her more comfortable with cold-calling if you helped her get some practice, for example calling the pharmacy or the store to see how late they’re open, or ordering pizza for dinner and having her call (I can be quite anxious with phones, and stuff like that helped me). It’s…

Maybe try your local artsy markets? When you say “quilt” I assume you mean something a bit more folksy (please correct me if I’m wrong) so you may want to look at craft stores and the like. Alternatively, basic quilts aren’t horribly difficult to make, so with some basic equipment and time you could make your own for…

I have had a dream every night for the past week about my dad either abandoning me or being cruel to me when I’m in pain or something along those lines. It’s odd since I’m very very close to him and talk to him/text several times a day. Haven’t had abandonment dreams since I was a kid.

God I am terrible at flirting... apparently I flirt without meaning to (I just think I’m being nice) and accidentally hit on everyones’ boyfriends. But if I’m dating someone, and not sure of whether or not I want to sleep with them, I think it helps to have a picnic at the park or something. If you have to talk to…

Hey Jezzies! First off, I’d like to thank you all for your food suggestions last week (very helpful, and I’ve already started using some of your ideas!)!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

What products do you use/know of that can fit in the silly little TSA-approved bag? I’m visiting a friend soon and don’t want to pay to check a bag, so I need to pack light!

OMG crazy!

Is it just me, or does everyone in that video look SUPER uncomfortable?

She’s also probably a publicity hound... methinks that somebody wanted to get people googling her name now that she’s released a new single and has an album coming out reasonably soon...

I think that’s how the white Protestant patriarchy (in the US, at least) divides us, by convincing us that every movement for justice must address every single societal ill or else it’s invalid. I see this all the time in my own life. I am a white woman who is also technically Latina (even though I don’t really…

The people in the in the western part, many of whom consider themselves European and want to join the EU, are. The more rural eastern part of the country (where Erdogan gets a lot of his support) tend to be very conservative and religious. I would be interested to see where the people involved in this are from. I bet…

Oh sure male characters can be ridiculous too. But I think the difference there is that unrealistic male characters are figures that (some) men want to be. They’re almost aspirational fantasy figures. The female characters, though, aren’t. They’re not what many women want to be. They’re what some men want women to be.

Interesting! I’m glad you’ve had such a positive experience with it... Might give it a shot!

I think a huge part of it may be how popular online and multiplayer gaming seems to be at the moment. I’m a woman who’s a gamer and I haven’t played a lot of recent games simply because of that emphasis on online/multiplayer. I’d rather go back and play Morrowind for the 200th time than buy a game, attempt to play it,…

I don't know if Peter Dinklage would be considered disabled... I'm no expert (so someone please correct me if I'm wrong) but I think that he has a medical condition, not a disability.

Thank you for bringing this up! Your comment made me clicks through to the study itself, and from my very brief scan of it it seems to focus on visible physical disabilities and not invisible or intellectual disabilities, which is a shame.
