You need to see a doctor. Sounds like you may have under-active thyroid or some other underlying issue. Also, a referral to a dietitian would help, because they too can see what it is you are eating and may have knowledge of why that sort of diet is not working for your body. But get yourself to a doctor first and…

You could use decorative duct tape to bling out your cane, like the ones in this link below (but they are also easily purchased at hardware and craft stores). Easy on and off, comes in hundreds of different patterns:

It is a surprisingly touching bit of code. Robot hugs for everyone!

Yes, that’s pretty much what I paid for it. Best of luck!

I do think you are over-thinking it a bit. A lot of people don’t have middle names at all, including a close friend of mine. So there’s that. Also, you can just have a single letter as a middle name, if you are committed to having an initial there. Finally, it’s your middle name, and pretty much no one will ever hear…

Second the Nioxin 3 shampoo and conditioner recommendation. I get mine on Amazon, and have had no issues with counterfeits. Just be careful from which seller you buy it from (usually looking at the reviews helps). You can also get it at most salons.

The pic with Mr. T is ADORABLE.

Holy shit that was a lot of blood.

Hypothetically, if you rescue the dog, what’s going to prevent that monster from getting another dog to beat?

I agree. There is definitely a double-standard.

That’s a good point. I never had to re-learn social behaviors like that.

I grew up with a alcoholic parent, and at a very young age I remember promising myself I would never drink alcohol. And I never have. I have no judgement on those who do—I just know its not for me.

“In the times when I’m feeling empathetic towards Kim Kardashian, and thinking about the strange and largely unprecedented life she leads, the closet cleaning is precisely what my mind drifts to, a sad relinquishing of personality to accommodate: (A), her man, (B), her self-absorption, which reads to me as having a…

The biggest mistake I made after being date-raped was to tell my mom and older sister. They both blamed me 100% ‘for putting my myself in a dangerous situation.’ When I told my friend that I did not want to go to the cops because I knew they’d treat me like shit and my rape kit would sit for years untested anyways (my…

Oh yes, I should have mentioned I had to order 2 sizes up for everything (luckily on Amazon the product reviews pretty much all said that). Size chart is totally off, but I do love the quality of the product.

FWIW: Yummie by Heather Thompson makes my absolute favorite maxi slip ever. So comfortable, breathable and slimming, perfect for layering underneath sheer maxi dresses in the summer to make them work-appropriate. They are extremely well-stitched and hold up to multiple washings.

Thanks for writing this. As a woman, I often forget that guys too have this ideal that is set before them of how a person ‘should look’ in order to be attractive/ fit/ whatever. We internalize it, this physical ideal, and judge ourselves worthy or not based on an arbitrary and unfair scale. It is self-torture. And if…

Why, Why, WHY is a victim-blaming and a trolling burner name comment the first comment in the sight, approved and in the black, when the rest of us who make thoughtful comments and have been on Jezebel for YEARS languish in the greys? WHY?

I am sorry; I have been there before, that crushing loneliness. Pets help. They really do. If you can: get a cat, a hamster, a rat, hell even a goldfish. A living creature, however small, that relies on you for food and care daily. It really does help just a little bit to fill the void.
