The Bible was written by multiple people, and in the case of what evangelicals call the “Old Testament”, some of those writers were women. Of course, evangelicals like the parts written by misogynistic psychopaths like Paul.

Evangelical “purity” culture just amplifies the bigger cultural message that refusing sex is a failure in a marriage and that solving it just requires having sex more. Anytime my partner or I have struggled with sex it is due to something completely unrelated to our desire for physical intimacy and relates to much…

I’m going back and forth between being furious and feeling sick to my stomach.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. I hope someday you have a showplace. You deserve it.

Omg thank you for sharing this!

yes please submit some for spooky story time

If this doesn’t win Pissing Contest, there is no justice in this world

I’ll never move again, as god is my witness, because I may never quite recover from the stress & exhaustion that we endured trying to DIY our very large, very old house.

Okay, you’ve already won the spooky story thread.

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK. 

I am not sensitive to these things, so I was just generally spooked out by the house (we lived there for the rest of my childhood/young adult years, and eventually my parents got out of dodge), but my friends would call their parents to get them during sleepovers “because they were scared” through middle school. My…

Massive master bathroom gut-out and full rebuild went off without a hitch. The house was very high quality when built in 1908, but every single modification done to it since then was complete trash. Pulled out all the ruined dumb shit some idiot did in the 50's [judging by the old newspapers I found under the…

I feel like there are a lot more stories about this place.

Not so much a renovation disaster as an attempt to renovate a disaster:

Probably 8-12 layers total.

In my previous house I was putting in new vinyl flooring in my bathroom. It comes in long strips that stick to each other, but not the subfloor, so you can either caulk or put in trim to hide the edge.

I had metastatic testicular cancer about 10 years ago, which resulted in a surgical scar from my pelvis to my sternum. I beat the cancer, and contemplated a decoration for a couple years. For some reason, a working lunch turned down this road, and I told my boss at the time that I was going to get an alien tattooed,…

Oh boy, I have one. Back in the 1990s I had a job at a large “anchor” department store at a huge shopping mall. For whatever reason, our men’s rooms became notorious “cruise spots” where men would meet for anonymous sex. It was a daily thing, you’d pop into the bathroom to take a quick one and there would inevitably…

Finally my moment in the sun! Let me set the stage: I was a bit of a princess back in the day: had never used a squat potty, peed in the woods, etc. My husband and I went to Myanmar for vacation and spent some time in Mrauk-O, which is like Bagan but in the Rakhine province (yes, of concentration camp fame) so no…
