Are you me? Ugh, I have so much sympathy for you right now! Here's hoping summer brings energy return and we get back on track.

Most of them aren't that cute. Like once I was sitting at the bar in a small, neighborhood pub with my friend and Winona Judd an dher husband came in and sat on the other side of my friend. She turned to him, stuck out her hand and said, "Hi honey, I'm Winona." He was sort of stunned and said, "Um, yes, I know." She…

As girl with a boy's name George Fayne was everything to me as a child.

Some times my coworker and I hang out in the office kitchen at lunch and watch as the women come in and put their items in the dishwasher. The men just leave their's on the counter or the sink. Some will feel uncomfortable that we're watching and will rinse their items, but never much beyond that. I know it's mostly…

I'm sorry what? What am I cherry picking? What other claims have I made besides that Lee did not know of the manuscripts existence until it was discovered? This information is in every article about the announcement of the book. I'm simply pointing out that according to the record she presumably did not keep a copy of…

The manuscript was found in Lee's deceased sister's files. Lee was reportedly unaware of it's existence until it was found.

Are you my brother-in-law?

Sized for people with non-cartoon character bodies!

Well sort of. Recently everything I've bought (and returned) has been huge in the waist and skinny everywhere else. Jeans at least two inches too wide for my (not slim) waistline and then oh what, the calves are so so small I can barely get my leg in. Sweater, giganitic huge, sails of knit fabric, swimming around your…

In practice it is much smaller, yes, and pickiness isn't the only reason. People say "Oh by being bisexual you've doubled your dating pool!" Well, no. Not factoring for preference or compatibility, you'd think a straight person's dating pool is approximately 50% of the the population. Assuming high side statistics,…

Rowen's answer is right. It basically covers all the edges now as a "reclaimed" word. I identify as queer. Basically because I could say "I'm queer" or I could say "I'm an androgynous, non-binary with female secondary sex characteristics who is homoromantic and pansexual" (meaning I present as androgynous, my gender…

Right before their first album dropped Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit called my house looking for the roommate I had just replaced the week before. He didn't believe me at first when I told him she moved to Alaska, kept insisting I stop the joke and put her on the phone. Then he proceeded to hit on me, over the phone,…

If someone offers me a bowl of M&Ms and tells me 10% are poisoned, am I going to take any? Women lie about having boyfriends because we don't know which clueless asshole is going to try and physically hurt us to try force his way past a polite rejection. Yep, it's small subset but some of them are fucking dangerous…

because no one on this show is ever right about anything except for me.

Burt's Bees Cuticle Balm is the best thing ever. Accept no substitutes!

I am the hangnail queen. Burt's Bee Lemon Cuticle Balm is the bomb-diggity. I apply it after I shower and every night before bed (so sometimes twice a day, sometimes once if I shower before bed). It is a MIRACLE. Like I have lesbian-short, works-with-her-hands nails and people compliment me on how strong and good…

I love her, though admittedly she really reminds me of my mom.

When my youngest sister was born I was in the room with my mom. At some point she grabbed my hand and said to me, very earnestly, "Please just make one promise to me. When you have a child, make sure they give you the drugs they just gave me." (P.S. The best birth control for teenagers is having them watch you give…

I feel you on this. I'm a writer and I don't trust any feedback that doesn't tear down what I've done so I can build it back better. I have two readers now who do this for me but it isn't enough I want half a dozen smart people to to tell me what needs improvement so I'll know the end result is even better.

As everyone has said, costumes are horribly inaccurate and some facts are off, and it's very much a soapy teen drama, but! It really treats women's sexuality pretty respectfully, especially for a soapy teen drama and I find the women in the show have much more agency and depth than anything comparable.
