Still mad about the CDC’s warning to child-bearing aged women. The warning should be to all women trying to conceive. It should not be a given that we’re going to have children. It should be a given that no one will have an unplanned pregnancy in this day and age when it should be so easy for most women to obtain…

She betrays Diane, for PETER that fuckwit!, and totally deserves it, and it’s very satisfying television.

He was found responsible for one complaint. He waited until she graduated to appeal it. She lost* that appeal because she couldn’t commute to the proceedings, as she no longer lived in NYC.

Seconding the sage. Also, kindly request that the spirits leave your house. Wait til no one is around so you don’t feel as moronic as your kids.

Three other complaints were lodged against this man. That’s a hell of a track record for a non-rapist.

Columbia didn’t find, “conclusively,” that he didn’t do it. They found that there was no evidence, as there often isn’t evidence, in rape cases, since the victim’s testimony doesn’t count.

Yeah, absolutely a dispensary isn’t an immoral place, but Girl Scout councils CAN be made up of authoritarian assholes with loosely defined morals that have no basis in the laws of the land. Those girls are at the mercy of their council members, and I hope that they fare better than when I went up against the Seven…

Hey look! Incentive to be better.

If only! Kinja isn’t showing stars today, but someone pulled me out of the grays.

This isn’t quite what she’s saying, but creatively speaking, near-disastrous tanking has been really good for my work. Not because I can then “relate,” or whatever she’s going on about, to the plebs, but because hanging on to old ideas or methodologies was creating increasingly stale work but I was too chickenshit to…

An almost correct analysis of the real estate purchase. Taylor Swift’s song, “Haunted,” appears to be about an ex. Rather than confound the exes with strange passageways and doors to nowhere, Taylor would be much more inclined to trap the ghosts with her labyrinthine architecture. Let’s look at the textual evidence:

There are far more talented artists—genius artists!—than there are venues. Depriving the world of Close’s art by taking it down doesn’t deprive the world of good art—it makes room for art that isn’t also produced by problematic artists. So I’d be glad to see it taken off the walls entirely and replaced by someone…

The partner is thinking very clearly right now and should follow through!

Make people feel as bad as possible about asking! Besides being wildly inappropriate and potentially extremely hurtful, putting so much emphasis on reproduction, and treating it as a given, is extremely politically problematic.

It sucks, but I understand his mindset. For me, staying friends with an ex is fine, short term, until they start to date someone else. Then I start comparing myself to her and getting my feelings hurt. I’m a grown ass woman, but this is a form of petty I’ve stopped fighting in myself because it doesn’t go away despite…

Maybe it’s best that he kept his distance til the sting wore off? When I broke up with a boyfriend five years or so ago and we had a lot of mutual friends, I stopped going to group hangs and hung out with the people I liked individually. (I had other groups of friends that I socialized with, so it wasn’t a gaping hole…

It’s really weird and objectively bad that she told that grandma lies but, on the other hand, some grandmas are really lonely. So. If she was abating her loneliness by hanging out with her, I kind of am willing to look the other way.

VERY gross! This friend definitely needs a therapist if they’re deluded enough to think that a 19 y/o living in the dorms is “the one!” I kind of hope that the 19 y/o is just treating him like a sugar daddy and isn’t getting TOO attached because, to be honest, it sounds like they’re both on a disaster train right…

Excellent work. Pets are amazing creatures but you can’t just bring them into property someone else owns without their permission. And I shudder to think of the really disgusting thing that pet did. D:
