I mean, there has to be a better reason than some truism about variety of choices, preferably some rationale that recognizes why our country has never had three viable parties at any given time.

If you want a viable Green Party (and you should)....

As someone who has done DV work in the past, this is an excellent and nuanced article.

I think most of us would be happy if the average US citizen took domestic violence as seriously as they did the NFL.

Man, at the start of this year I was so hopeful! That shit went south just like the rest of 2016 has. So three days ago, I hurt my back. Pretty badly. I was at work, something went ‘twinge’ in my back and I thought, “Ow, that’s sore.” But I had eight more hours to work. So I didn’t think too much of it. Well, that…

I’ve only come to just realize that I spent my entire childhood lying. About everything. When I read comments on here about “Oh, I CAN’T LIE. My WHOLE FACE gets red!” I’m like.....Really?

I was one of those kids who is constantly hungry - like, must eat every fifteen minutes hungry. I used to wake up in the middle of the night and binge-eat leftovers because my stomach hurt so badly that I couldn’t get back to sleep without shoveling in food. I blamed it on my sister; my parents bought it even though…

This is late to SNS but Happy Birthday! I just turned 27 and know I’m officially late-20's. Closer to 30 and all that. I will say this past year saw me considering that I wanted a family more than before (I am not in a relationship). I’ve been kinda drifting for a while, but I also did a lot of cool things the past…

I’m going to turn 35 next month. I used to freak out but the only thing I’ve learned is that it’s impossible to know what you’ll want in the future, because you will change and what you want will change. Fortunately, life is actually really long and you have oodles of time to figure it out.

You don’t need to freak out, but you can definitely start honing in on answers to these questions, and then start working toward them.

Completely agree. I wouldn’t go back to my twenties, thirties, or forties for anything. Sixty is grand.

Yeesh: your twenties are for having fun. Honestly, wait until your thirties to worry about settling down, having kids, etc.

Spinster!!! Totally kidding. My wife was 26 when we married (I was younger) and I would say if anything we should have squeezed more living in beforehand. Particularly before having kids and DEFINITELY since she is (I assume) your type, where “26" means “basically 30.” You have tons of time!!

I’ll be right there with you in a month and I’m panicking. Solidarity sister.

I am 47. One thing I wish I’d realized when I was younger is that NOBODY knows what they are doing and EVERYBODY is making it up as they go along. Even 70-year olds.

I saw this earlier and thought of all the jobs I’ve had (and probably will have!).

I freaked out about everything except saving money apparently! lol

I’m now 26 and 5 months, but I will tell you that my 26th birthday ended in hysteric tears. So far I am okay and perhaps overreacted a bit. Does that help? 😛

Just don’t jump on anything too quickly. In my distant youth, I got married & divorced a couple of times, hitchhiked all over, tried all the drugs, should have died lots of ways, trying shit out.

When I turned 26, I had not met my wife yet, I was in a different city, and it was two professional degrees ago.
