I totally agree. If that makes you an asshole, I’m one, too.

My first thought, too. Welcome back, Measles!

I don’t recall her ever tolerating bullies on Twitter (or anywhere else for that matter).

Yep, those are definitely the only two options parents have. As evidenced by the totally reasonable “4 bites” rule outlined in other comments

My approach

No they don’t! They’re just picking on men! Ladies have it so easy on the subway (and everwhere!) CAN’T A GUY AIR HIS BALLS OUT ON THE SUBWAY ANYMORE?!

great. My bf insists he doesn’t have to rinse his dishes even though my dishwasher sucks and they come out gross if he doesn't. WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO RUIN MY LIFE, MARK?

Also it's not like period blood is straight blood. You’ve got the uterine lining in there, too, and I feel ok about the fact that I’m not about to stick that in my mouth (or whatever).

this is going to be my new mantra whenever i feel shitty about crying over something. “i can do anything after i cry about it.” god, i love you. can we make out?

I was traveling alone the semester after some really shitty things happened (like losing a friend and an ex-boyfriend in a car accident) and found myself wandering into various churches, sitting in the back in the dark, and just LOSING MY SHIT. i’m not religious by any stretch but it was so nice to have somewhere to…

Settle down, Travolta

Ugh, I’m so sorry about having to get the 3rd resection. All I can say is I feel you and I hope it helps <3

Agreed, a lot of it is just ignorance. But there’s a tactful and sensitive way to be ignorant, I think.

Also I literally think all it takes it a smidge of sensitivity. I am happy to talk about all my weird food restrictions just a) believe me when I tell you about them and b) try not to make me feel like a freak. Then you can ask me anything

I KNOW! if they ask and I start to answer something about colon surgery they (sometimes) will be all “ewww colons! We’re EATING!” well, maybe you shouldn’t have interrogated me about exactly what I can’t eat and why and we could all just enjoy our meal! Also poop! So there!

Why do people who don’t have allergies/dietary restrictions feel the need to play the “what would happen if you ate this” game? i have had two colon resection and there’s a bunch of shit I’m not supposed to eat. I probably won’t die if someone slips a little flour or dairy in my food but too much can be very painful…

Can’t a girl reduce, reuse, and recycle?

This whole article made me giggle like a schoolgirl. Thank you.
