I’m an art person, so if you’re not into art my suggestions might not be super trenchant for you, but here goes:

This is my favorite jambalaya recipe! I use sausage instead of ham.

5 months after splitting up with my husband, I feel sad and still struggle with being alone. Thinking about moving in with my folks for awhile, but worried that would be embarrassing in my late 20s (I am 26). How do I get over my fear of solitude you guys?

I met my husband 8 years ago through online dating. I met him through the Onion personals after years of dating terrible men whom I met through friends.

Former/current temps of the world! Please regale me with your worst temp assignments, so I can feel a little better about mine. No one talks to me (in the 20 person open-plan office)! I wasn’t introduced or shown where things were (like the bathroom), and when a new person started, my manager literally skipped me and…

I loved that it smashes the Bechdel test into pieces with four women who are intelligent, brave, loyal, funny, determined and caring, and completely kick-ass while remaining fully clothed and not getting into ridiculous bitchy cat-fights. And I knew that there would be cameos from some of the original cast, but I…

I thought it was great! My favorite line was This is where P.T. Barnum first had the idea to enslave elephants!

Thank you, this made me tear up. I know I sound like a teenager, but I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to love or trust anyone again

I’m trying to be gentle ... but I think you know the explanation. His wife caught him in yet another web of lies, and he’s freaked out about destroying his marriage. Even though he already did. His wife probably banned him from talking with you or texting you. (Please, please, please do not reach out to his wife…

I’m sorry this happened to you. Some people are cowards and run to avoid confrontation. You will get closure, however long it takes, but I wouldn’t expect any help from him in this.

Kate McKinnon was the MVP of that movie! At the end when she does the James Bond-esque take-down of of a dozen ghosts in slow motion my jaw literally dropped. She just looked badass. Not badass ‘for a woman’ or whatever, just really freaking badass. It was AWESOME.

I went to see Ghostbusters today. I absolutely loved it. I used to want to be River Song, but now I want to be Holtzmann.

Hey Jezzies— Talk to me about online dating. Any success stories? Horror stories? Tips? Is it something worth trying?

OH MY GOODNESS I AM SO EXCITED. my local indie bookstore is doing a ticketed, adults-only release party. i’m in there probably about 5 times a week (they sell coffee/wine), and they’ve let me peek at their plans for the bash - they made WANDS for each individual person. i’m going alone, and i couldn’t be happier about…

It’s Harry Potter night! My local bookstore is doing a midnight release party. I’m taking my kid because I’m probably insane. Needed something fun to do after spending all week looking after my sick doggy. Stupid osteosarcoma.

About to start it for next months book group. I'll check back in next week.

I am reading this right now. I’m to the part where Tom has dropped Evie off at the ranch and is hanging around. The writing is so exquisite . I was 9 years old and living in California when the Manson murders happened so have some memories of the horror. I actually had to put the book down for a few days because I…

She is very much the Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation with at a Party on SNL.

As a child of two former illegal immigrants this is a nightmare. Every day when my parents didn't have papers i would go to school and wonder if i would ever see my parents ever again :( I didnt realize this until i was a little older but the fear is real. Knowing that another kid is going through this is so tough.…

Congrats on your new job. I know nothing about what you do, so I can’t help out there. :) But it’s great that you have work!
