I went to a reunion where it was 3 days of non-stop socializing. I was even sharing a room with a friend. I'm normally a huge introvert, and I need my quiet time. A friend and I had made plans on the last night, but she neglected to tell me it wasn't just her and me - it was her and me and 11 other people. In her

Oh shit I almost forgot my best meltdown...

I was stuck in bed (up four flights of stairs) with a hip-to-ankle cast on my leg after dislocating my knee. The girl in the room next door went out for the afternoon and left her CD player on. Top volume. Just one song on repeat.

My meltdown was over food too. My junior year of college, I was so in love with a guy who was in love with me too, but in a three year relationship. He would later dump his girlfriend, date me for six months, dump me, and then get back together with his original girlfriend. They later got married.

Eighth grade: my class is putting on some stupid play for our religion class and I'm doing the costumes because 1) I'm known for that kind of thing and 2) I'm not popular enough to be in the play, or have friends. While working in the "wings" (eh, poor school, shitty facilities), three classmates come back and decide

The time when Depo was the hot new thing on the market, and my gyno forgot to tell me that it isn't recommended for people who have depression before she stuck my ass with 1 years worth of estrogen (back in the day it was an annual affair).

One of my last semesters in college I had let my roommate talk me into renting an apartment at a really weird apartment complex in Austin called the Metropolis which was painted psychedelic colors and housed a lot of artistic and obviously drug friendly people. I was a middle class kid from a small town and a huge

Hmmm

Ok, so this whole thing started after a bad breakup (natch. He broke up with me by telling me hid new girlfriend had "eyes like the sea after a storm" I know where that's from motherfucker! I know." So a bunch of my friends take me out for drinks and dancing, and one of them is dating one of the party bus drivers and

I'm pretty good at meltdowns, but my most messy? Interesting? Laughable? Would have to be a few years back.

I'm normally a very nice person who values politeness and kindness- until this one day. I had just moved from a pedestrian-friendly city to one that required a car, and was still adjusting to car culture when I got really sick and had to go to the doctor. The office was in one of the busiest areas of the city, and I

My first semester of law school, final exams. I was so stressed, I wasn't eating. In fact, I weighed less then than I had since middle school.

Screw them. After all the discussion in the past couple years about cultural appropriation they should fucking know better... Like, surely someone on the team must have been like "umm, this didn't go over well for VS. Maybe we should reconsider if the backlash will even be worth it at this point?" Or am I giving

Racist, sexist, economically exploitative, racist, historically ignorant RACIST pieces of shit. Given the context of First Nations Canadians' multiple simultaneous crises and white Canadians largely unaddressed legacy of exploitation and abuse toward them, this is incredibly cruel and disrespectful.

IT IS REALLY NOT COOL TO GET SPIKE INVOLVED IN THIS MESS, KARA.

I'm so proud of these women for coming forward and sharing their stories. I hope all of the "where were they with their accusations 30 years ago????" people can begin to see that rapists usually TARGET victims who they are most likely to get away with raping. Cosby didn't go around drugging just any woman he felt
