She really is. The whole time I was thinking, I wish she was my BFF! What a freaking delight, man.

Thank you! Xo

It doesn’t (sound harsh). I appreciate your honesty about the situation. I know it’s time... It’s really BEEN time but it can be hard to just peace out. But I guess with her straight up ignoring me, now is a good time.

That’s a really good way to put it. Sometimes they can feel like a romantic relationship (without the sexy part) so that makes sense.

Thanks for your response! I love the way you put that, about lacking a fundamental commonality. The past few years have not been kind to our friendship. I sort of found my way to feminism, became an activist of sorts and also sort of became kind of introverted. She becomes prickly about things like race and social…

So I am recovered from an eating disorder for about 3-4 years with minor slip-ups and I get “triggered” semi-frequently. Basically if anyone is talking about dieting or restriction or calories. It mainly just causes a lot of anxiety, stress, etc. My best friend of over 10 years has suffered from an ED from the…

Every time I see her name, I instinctively read it like “Jeen-ger” before having to correct myself. Drives me insane.

I was super impressed, except I got Dermalogica toner spray that TOTALLY gave me some kind of chemical burn or I had an allergic reaction or something. My face got a billion bumps (not pimples, though... just raised…

*clutches pearls* Keep those backs covered, ladies! We all know the implications of an exposed back....

Edit: tried to insert classic pic of George Costanza because that was the first thing I thought of. But I got kinja’d. :(

Re: the chicken wing comment.

Penn got me. I went to his Twitter and he’s been using childbirth as a metaphor for what’s happening in Baltimore. There was one whole tweet going on and on about contractions.

Work harder, lazy women! Sheesh!

Me too :( I don’t even get it; what are this?

I do this, too.

Just a glance at that black cheeseburger they had on the sidelines at Slate was enough to turn me off of all food for. Ever. I still haven’t eaten.

By that logic, you shouldn’t go anywhere that serves milk or dairy in case the employees don’t clean up properly

Are you a woman? Do you have children? I have had 2 and I can tell you infants don’t adhere to schedules very well. Baby can eat and be full and be starving again in 30 minutes or in 3 hours. Breastfeeding in public endangers no one, quit whining.
