Sending you all the hugs.

I think I actually felt my heart break in two when I read your comment. I don't want to say anything stupid, which I often do. So, I'll just say that I have a deep respect for you and that I wish for many good things to happen in your life.

This article seems to have been heavily slanted. Mentioned in the linked article but mysteriously left out of the Jez narrative are:

So, I am a person that points out the issues with jezebel and their dealing/lack of dealing with the issues that face POC and WOC.

All of this makes sense. If you are into bondage porn, it is hard not to be into James Deen (I'm sure a few are successful at this, but not many). This fits because if you are into GoT, it is hard not to be into Jon Snow. And I love that he is Jon Snow, knows nothing about GoT and yet still makes one of the best Jon…

Damn, this is sad to read, and I feel for her. I'm about 2 years older than Loli, and it's so interesting to think about our generation's online presence at a young age and our subsequent online history. It's interesting to think about how she even became interested in 4Chan initially. At 13, I got into website and…

This is a great find! I've already pre-order my copy. I'm intrigued by graphic novels exploring mental illness and mental illness itself in general. Sometimes I think I'm battling one myself but I'm to afraid to ask or seek a professional opinion because it's probably nothing.

Perhaps it is not just about shaking your ass to them. It may be about black women being allowed to have some sort of pride in our (sometimes) big butts and what they can do. This is maybe about thumbing their noses at the conventional idea of what 'proper' womanhood looks like.

Corn doesn't grow on trees...

Is this a new viral Brie cheese campaign?

I know she has some SS, but it isn't enough to live on in our city, except in very strained circumstances. I am sure it would even cover utilities and food, let alone medicine. She would have to move, which really isn't an option for several reasons. I don't know all the details of the divorce, but I do know that…

They were married for more than 10 years so she can use his Social Security for her filing. She'll get the same amount as she would have if they remained married. You may just mean that part is a lot less than if they were still married and they were both receiving SS based on his work history, but I just want to make…

Pretty much my entire definition of success is a job I don't dread going to and financial security. In my adult life I've never had either. Maybe if (when) I get those things I'll want something more, maybe not. But from where I'm at now, that would pretty much be my dream life.

Yes. No one thinks they will get divorced (or they wouldn't have married in the first place). My mother thought she and my father would be married forever, so she was not at all ambitious in her 20s and 30s. She stayed home, then worked part time. My dad's job was supposed to provide the retirement benefits. …

A job I don't dread going to has always been my career goal!! I used to say that all the time when I worked in offices and when my kids go to school full time in a few years, it will be my goal again. And I also got my masters in a field I thought would be awesome to work in, and I did very much like my job from right…

Yes! I've never felt super passionate about anything. I thought I did, so I went to grad school....then got out with my master's as fast as possible. It just wasn't for me. Sure, I have things that I would like to do/try, but none of it is high powered or what most would consider serious career material. I've always…

I think this is most of us. But it is also important to recognize that we (and about 47% of mildly or non-ambitious women) also get divorced. And this is why women are more likely to be in poverty than men. So even if most of us don't want high power jobs, it is still important to recognize how important gender…

I say having it all means having everything you want. Not what everyone else deems "it all" to be. I have never given a shit about a career. There's nothing I want to do or aspire to be. I had jobs before I had my kids and they were fine, I was good enough at them, but I didn't care about them in any way other than a…

Nuh uh! Stop whining about the media! Men and women are different! And people are allowed to have racial preferences in their attraction! The fact that all of this favours me, a straight white guy, is purely a coinky-dink that suspiciously aligns with all the other racist and sexist ideas that also conveniently favour…
