I’ve spent more than a delve in online dating, and I will pretty much guarantee that all those guys who claim they’re great at and love oral sex are actually just those guys who learned one move from their first girlfriend and haven’t listened to a woman since then.

The Tenderman similarly has a paragraph on his OkCupid profile announcing how much he loves making a woman happy, if you know what he means.

I know this is not SNS but since I’m in Europe I always miss those and I got really great news today that I want to share! I work in academia and recently I’ve really been wanting to get into research journalism, but it’s not so easy to break into the good publications (‘duh’ - Every Writer Ever). Well, last week I…

“Cool story, bro” time:

Cool Cool Cool * reaches for xanax *

Can’t tell you how much I hate the wink-wink “mom’s juice” promotion of wine drinking! I know too many women (“moms” and non-moms) who have developed alcohol problems in middle age. I don’t care how successful you are or if you have kids, if you are daytime drinking in your living room or drinking daily at night to…

Would that make him a reformon?

Remember though that how your brain works while meds are being discontinued is NOT how your brain actually works off meds. It takes months, even years, for the brain to be considered “off meds.” In my case it took a year to taper off Effexor and then a year for my brain to relearn to function without the drug. I had…

I know exactly what you mean. My acne scarring is REALLY bad. From the worst case of acne my doctor had ever seen. I don’t leave the house without several layers of cover-up makeup or else I get stares. I feel lucky that most of the scars are flat though, not indented, so they actually do cover with the right product…

I mean, you can’t prosecute a husband and wife for the same crime.

I was thinking that too— but I also feel like she sacrificed her childhood to the industry, and unlike Lilo, is a genuinely really good performer. I feel like she never half-assed a role or compared herself to Marilyn Monroe. Until her breakdown, it seems like she stayed pretty well away from the tabloids. Not too…

No one healthy eats like this. Period. This shit that is peddled in gossip mags and IG pages is not an actual diet for health. It’s a diet for starvation. I work out a LOT regularly and I’m in good shape. I eat real meals. I know women who have phenomenal looking bodies too. NONE of them eat like this. At all.

Thank you for this article. I hadn’t known about morcellation, or about Amy, and I’m glad I know now.

I’m with your mom on this.

It’s part of who I am

That’s awesome. I was diagnosed at 20 as well, and ended up doing CBT for about 5 years in lieu of meds. I’ve certainly felt more in control of my anxiety in my 30s but it’s only because I’ve learned to accept it as my reality. Interesting how that works. The way I explain it to people is as follows: “I’m just in a…

I didn’t get diagnosed until I was 34, after two decades of varying healthy issues. Just brutal. My kids are luckier and already have diagnosed anxiety disorders. Which I guess isn’t totally lucky, but the point is that they have had access to all sorts of early intervention.

Lexapro is a godsend.

Definitely interested to read this. I’ve been in a period of high anxiety for coming up to two years pretty much solidly, which I hadn’t even realised was possible. I also had another baby in those two years so now also have a good dose of PND chucked in for good measure.

I look forward to reading this book.
