THANK YOU.

I once had a guy break up with me in the passenger unloading zone while dropping me off for an out of town flight. It was cowardly AF, but also kind of ingenious because he knew he only had to deal with me for about 3 minutes before security would move him on.

(I was broken up with) After 8 years together out of the blue, on Facebook, on a Wednesday while I was at work. We were both in our 30s. Grow up. 

1. Most perks were so people would want to stay and work, not recruiting. It was not because the employer felt like everyone should work 4 hours a day and drink beer. It was so you’d be happier pulling 16 hour days and not leave the building.

My girlfriend has committed to the idea of never owning a car, which she has done successfully for 36+ years. I find this stance admirable in spirit, but actually kind of less so in practice, as I have made no such commitments and just end up driving us everywhere. I feel like its a bit like committing to never…

I’m so happy we have SNS this week because I wanted to thank all the SNS contributors who helped encourage me to get married in a hurry. I guess it was four weeks ago that I posted saying that my boyfriend of 10 years and I were thinking of finally getting married while my father, who is declining rapidly from late…

This place was a bit out of the way, one of those places people probably passed on a daily basis but never put that much thought into what had been going on there. Surprisingly really, given how it clearly stood out from another forgotten era compared to the places around it, one that people in this country…

A Monday in June. I’m visiting from out of state for work and staying with a friend. She asks me to meet her at a dive bar after a long day and I don’t want to but don’t have a choice. She’s there with co-workers, they’ve all been drinking, and she’s canoodling heavily with one. I assume I’ll need to find somewhere…

This is by far— by FAR— the freakiest thing that has ever happened to me.

I was the prototypical short, chubby, coke bottle glasses wearing, nerdy kid. Sweet, smart; but spent too much time in love with marvel comics, action figures and letting my parents buy me rose taupe aviator frames in 1985. Which I would wear until I got contacts after my freshman year at Sleepy Hollow High School. By…

Is telling your abusive husband that you're going on a two week trip to visit your parents and celebrate your pregnancy but then never coming back considered a prank? Because it felt like I was pranking him and it was definitely some of my best work.

On top of my ex? He hated showering so only did it once or twice a month. He liked it when I would lightly scratch his back (not as part of sex, just as a relaxing thing) and I would end up with gunk under my nails afterward. My explanation is I was... going through a lot.

My fiance and I were councilors at a youth retreat. 3 days into camp, we got caught in an open field when a massive thunderstorm kicked up so we headed to the only shelter available... underneath a flat bed trailer. Unfortunately all of the other creatures in that field had the same idea. What started as a scene right…

I was married once. It was on the planet Earth. Since then, fuck that place.

Just here to say I unapologetically love Taylor Swift. She works HARD. She can write a catchy earworm of a tune before I’ve even finished breakfast. The Reputation Tour was fun as fuck. I went for my 36th birthday. I really only heard about her circa the Red album and everything that came after it. I love 1989. I’m…

If it happened to me I’d never shut up about it.

Not to backseat drive, but the hotter take might have been: “Lover is fucking lit!”

men are not the living, breathing boners that they’re stereotyped to be, and women are not the frigid kill joy crones they’re made out to be either

As the entertainment press, we field emails from executives and publicists daily. Everyone wants top billing and a slightly larger spotlight. There are even stars this year alone with higher demands than anything detailed by the disgruntled Page Six sources.

If brands/marketing departments are too stupid and lazy to do their due diligence before signing contracts with these faux influencers, that’s on them.  Stupidity and laziness have consequences.
