Well now I have Tony Danza’s voice going “Moner! Angaler! Oh jeez!” stuck in my head.

What a terrible interviewer. You’re not there to insert your unsolicited, close-minded opinion, Wendy. You’re there to let your guest showcase their work. “I don’t need to see that.” UGH, so don’t look! And don’t lecture her! Have some fucking couth.

She has a point. There is a tendency to go after the wife or partner of an abusive man as if she failed in her duty of policing his behaviour. She didn’t abuse anyone. She almost definitely went into marriage pragmatically instead of because she fell in love, but that was her choice. For all we know she was one of his…

She is sublime. Quite honestly, every time I see her in a new role or interview or photo shoot, she just becomes ever more gorgeous over time. Her face is unique—and that only serves to make her a more striking and memorable beauty. 

I had a dream about an ex where crowds of people kept telling me to get away from him. Modern day people in malls, people dressed in renaissance wear around Olympic style pools, his friends, my friends until finally his father (who died before I dated his son) rode up in a horse and told me he was an asshole and I…

When I’m single (most of the time) I’m told it’s because I’m too picky. On the rare occasion there’s a man on my arm, I’m told I should get rid of him because I can do better. People are stupid assholes who talk shit because they like the sound of their voices.

Yey, the whole ‘relationships take work’ excuse for jerk behavior doesn’t fly with me. Those are the words of people who are too cowardly to speak the truth. And the truth is the best relationships are as easy as breathing. I’ll probably get flack for saying that, but eh...whatever!

Maaaannnnnn.... I DO love myself. I just hate everyone else.

Relationships do take work, doubts are normal, and bad stuff often does make you stronger AND.YOU.SHOULD.STILL.TRUST.YOUR.GUT.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I’ve also been going through a cycle where past trauma seems to be revisiting, so I know how hard it can be to deal with, especially around the holidays. I hope you get the comfort and therapy you need to move past it.

I totally get where you’re coming from and sympathize with your point, and you’re right that there’s a problem with people discrediting women’s intuition, but also, I’ve got a lil’ bone to pick with it. As someone who has a lot of unresolved chidhood trauma/attachment issues/ptsd, it’s practically in my DNA to bolt.…

I was just talking to my mom about this today. Girls are supposed to be accommodating. When I was in school-grade one- our teacher did a lot of leasons around inappropriate touch and how if any toucn makes you uncomfortable it is not ok and to tell an adult you can trust. I remember the example was a grandpa who was…

These last couple of months have been brutal, but the last few days especially so for me. I’ve been remembering more and more incidents and ‘run-ins’ with the fellow that assaulted me prior to the actual event, as well as the immediate aftermath and the chaos that ensued for me. I’m sick, I’m stressing, I’m not…

I can think of times in my life when my gut failed to pick up on danger, but I cannot think of any time when it warned me and I was wrong.

It helps* to remember that anyone who tells you to dismiss your gut is someone who makes the world accommodating for abusers and criminals.

We (as women) are so socialized to disbelieve or dismiss our guts. Even now, as a grown-assed woman, if I state a ‘nope’ position based on what my gut tells me, I get pushback from women as often as men. “I’m sure it’s not so bad!” “Give him a chance!” “But he’s Faaaaaamily.” You don’t even need to ask how often my…

But...but BLACKS AND LESBIANS ARE IN SHOPPING LINES, man!

He could just have killed himself, why did he had to go to that school and kill those children?

“The saddest part about this information you’re about to read is that—when you first read this post—I bet you said to yourself: ‘Oh yeah, there was a school shooting last week.’”
