“By your logic, no lesser known/sucessful person in any profession could ever consent to sex with a sucessful person in the same line of work, out of an irrational fear that that person might do something to derail the less successful person’s career.”

You got it! That’s 100% correct. That’s exactly how it’s supposed…

boys will be boys will be boys will be boys...

I’ve been diving deep into discussions about this ad on my social media lately and men still can’t tell me why they are specifically upset about this commercial.  It just gets sidetracked about politics, religion, etc.

I’m part Tohono O’odham and I married into a Tohono O’odham family. The border has bisected our traditional homelands since 1848, as well as other border tribes-the Lipan Apache, Yoeme (Yaquí), Kickapoo and I believe also the Tuscarora tribes. For the first few decades after the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, most…

Anthony Bourdain did a program about Paris that was very impactful to me—I think it was the 3 Day Layover program—not certain but I’m sure you can find it online. I have traveled a bit, back when I was young and also a lot more frequently now that I’m older and my house and education are paid for. And I’ve learned…

I’m so happy to catch this early, since I was late last time! As of tomorrow, I am 6 weeks pregnant. Lab tests confirmed progesterone and hcG levels were all what they should be, and I’m nervous but excited. Of course my child would start out stubborn- my husband and I realized we had miscalculated due dates at the…

2017 was a year to remember, but also a year to try to forget. My good pal, her roommate and I went to bar in which the bartender was covering our drinks.

NYE used to be my favorite holiday - we spend it with friends doing a sort of small-dish cook-off, there is a lot of drinking, we go outside at midnight and druknenly sing - and it’s a beautiful way to ring in the new year. Someone always goes too wild, but whatever we’re among friends!

Last year was “sloppy” though -…

Job update: I got a call on Monday from the recruiter who did my phone interview. I now have a face-to-face interview with the pharmacy manager in charge of transitions of care and the emergency department. She would likely be my manager if hired.

How to Catch & Recapture Your 1st Slave in 4 Easy Steps:

I was just writing a reply to the prior poster agreeing that BPD is challenging to deal with, but that anyone can learn skills to be a good friend/supporter of a person with BPD, which is something that those with BPD really need. (honestly, we all need community and love, but BPD people do, too).

1.) That time you called me in the middle of the day at work after I explicitly asked you not to, and thought that your need to validate your own experience was greater than my need to keep my god damned job.
