Ugh, fucking THIS. You want to have kids and motherhood is an important part of your experience as a woman? Cool! But don’t shit on anyone who doesn’t want (or can’t have) that. Being a parent is not and will never be a part of my experience as a woman, and that doesn’t make my womanhood any less valid than someone…

Can I pre-register for this event? Because FUCK YEAH.

Thank you so much for being a clinic escort. The world needs more people like you. <3

Good for her for seeking the help she needs and for being willing to go public about it.

Yessss, actually treating myself to a nicer, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner has done wonders for my hair. I haven’t had a cut or trim since last November, which would usually leave me RIDDLED with split-ends, especially since I tend to briefly blow-dry most weekdays. With the nicer products I’ve been using,…

My hair sounds exactly like yours and I’ve been able to cut down to shampoo+conditioner one day, only conditioner the next, repeat, and I think it’s actually been great for the health of my hair. I haven’t had a cut or trim since last November, which previously would have meant I’d have split-ends GALORE by now, but…

THIS. My federal loan is manageable, but my private one is costing me the same as my rent every month. Ridiculous.

I’m just choosing to believe he’s a cover for the fact that she’s a closeted lesbian and this is all to distract from her relationship with Karlie Kloss.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this entire series, but especially this piece in particular.

Congrats on your sobriety and engagement! <3

This. I’ve only just very recently realized that in my last relationship/fling, I was drunk or high as hell every time we had sex, because I felt like I had to be inorder to actually be comfortable with it, or because it removed any inhibitions or control I had over myself. As sex-positive of a person as I’ve always…

I am so, so sorry this happened to you and you are so, SO brave for sharing this story here. For whatever it’s worth, this internet stranger hopes you’re doing well, and is sending you all the love and positive vibes in the world.

For some reason, I read “Nicolas Sarkozy” in the headline as “Nicholas Sparks” and was very confused.

What the hell kind of restaurant gives kids raw dough to play with?

Exactly, he needs a talk show, which is not what TDS is or should be.

This is perhaps the biggest reason I will never allow a gun in my home. I’ve been suicidal several times in my life before getting on antidepressants, and I’m 100% positive that I wouldn’t be here right now if I’d ever lived in a home with a gun.

You and TheGuardLlama just helped me finally put words to why I don’t care for Trevor Noah. Yeah, he’s not terrible, but I don’t feel like he actually cares about what’s coming out of his mouth. It just feels like “oh, hey, this thing was terrible and hilariously fucked up, ha ha, moving on”. Stewart, Oliver, Bee, and…

Yeah, I gave it a good try and watched for a good bit after Stewart left, but Noah just doesn’t do it for me.

Thank you so much for sharing this!

Medication was a literal life-saver for me. I got on Duloxotine, the generic of Cymbalta, and it’s insane how much of a difference it’s made for me. However, I have had to learn that since I dealt with depression for so long (from at least age 13 to 24) that recovery from a mental illness is certainly a process and…
