Former male skater here. I quit because the dudes were so skeevy. Everyone’s body was a subject to be commented on, and every minor detail and instruction had to be overloaded with innuendo. It could have been fun and the bad actors were a statistical minority, but nobody ever did anything about them. There was one…

If nothing else, this is a long-overdue fuck you to former Governor Jim Thompson, who led the fight against the ERA in Illinois back in 1982 and was the reason we were the major state outside of the South to vote against a completely reaosnable amendment.

It’s going to start happening more and more to white people because they didn’t speak up when it was happening to black people. Just like the opioid crisis.

It depends on the person. I told my ex-girlfriend she was beautiful every chance I got. And I meant it, genuinely and sincerely. I think everyone should truly feel in their heart that the person they are with is the most attractive person in the world. (although we can also be conscious with our brain the fact that…

Home goods & Target?!?

lol - we are sooooo of the same tribe on that account! That’s awesome. :)

Congratulations on your new job and audition!

You are also *so right* on the exercise front. Whenever I get outside and sprint around on my bicycle I always feel better. (even got out there tonight for a bit).

Thanks for the…

I think it’s Dita Von Teese who said that you can be the juiciest peach in the world and some people just don’t like peaches. I find that immensely comforting. I’m not everybody’s cup of tea and most people aren’t my cup of tea. The fact that they aren’t my cup of tea is not a personal failing of theirs (unless it’s…

I’m a solo act too. I absolutely hear you—holidays, long weekends, and any other time people associate with family can be hard when you don’t have a partner or kids.

This is off-topic, but congratulations on your new job! I hope that it is a good opportunity, and that you are excited for the fall! I am also moving for a new job this summer - transient academics unite! 😉

sometimes doing like huge group activities
and seeing what happens organically can be one tactic.

online dating is soooo superficial and dishonest these days - (its time for actually talking to people to make a comeback).

No advice, really, just solidarity. Online dating has never worked well for me. I’m about to move for work (again) to a city where I know not a single human being and I’m just depressed about it. I’ve been considering putting out money for a matchmaker or dating coach, but then sometimes I just think it’s a lost…

I did it.

White people elected him.

Not to mention that Derp Furor’s grandpappy fled the German Empire to avoid the draft in the early 1900's, tried to return, and was kicked out for dodging the draft.

I will never forget or forgive the people that elected this baboon’s ass.

How the FUCK is it ‘normal’ that a man masturbates in front of you, and that you are ‘overreacting’. Go fuck yourself, you fucking enablers.  

Oh it is definitely #allmen - think of the Morgan Freeman dialogue and relate it to men. In general, women are taught to be polite and think of other’s feelings in a way men are not. Men will let their opinion about a woman (her body, her dress, their reaction to her, her career, what’s she eating, etc) tumble out…

“How hard is it to walk out when someone asks if they can jerk off in front of you?”

You are so fucking odious. Everything you just said is wrong and bad and exceedingly ignorant. I mean this with all sincerity, why are you here? You clearly hate women, don’t believe survivors, and enjoy pissing feminists off.

Well, if you ram a dumpster fire into a dumpster fire, does it not turn two fires into one, thereby reducing the number of fires?
