Too bad the word migraine is thrown around by people who get headaches from stress, caffeine withdrawal, or another stimulus. The lay use for a really bad (subjective) headache probably is why few look at unique characteristics of migraine as legitimate. This is includes SS.

I am so fucking tired of all of this. The lack of willingness to try something, ANYTHING. It’s like ok, you don’t want to blame guns because they’re just the tool. Fine, I’ll play.

Whatever, as long as the stress kills him, I don’t care how it happens.

A few years later, BF and I had broken up, and I was doing online dating. I got a decent message from a guy, look at his profile...and it’s the shitter himself. I say something neutral back, like “You look familiar, are you friends with [BF]?” Dude finally figured out who I was and immediately blocked me. Good…

Hey no fair, I didn’t know we were having a contest! How about Beck-teria, or Broch-itis?

When I was a kid, people in my parent’s generation were immediately suspicious of anything that came from the internet. “Don’t meet anyone from the internet in real life!” “You can’t believe that, it’s just on the internet!”

The first fundraising call I got from my alma mater was about 6 weeks before I even graduated, with no job lined up, despite muptiple visits to the sad little “career center” - which consisted of a couple shelves of binders with internship listings printed out 5-7 years previously. Other “career coaching” events…

You know what they say, there but for the greys of God go I.

I went to one event to try it out, get out of my comfort zone, and not judge the people who rush. I went in with an open mind. It was insane madness. Batshit crazy. Reminded me of those Scientology gala clips. They divided us up into smaller groups at one point. I walked in and a rush coordinator who would be our rush…

By looking at that photo, I would say that the real reason revolves around the absolute crushing need to be accepted by someone, ANYONE. Regardless of the cost to one’s soul.

yah its 100% something for rich white girls so they dont have to slum it in the friend department and then they have access to the alumni network to get those sweet sweet rich white girl jobs after graduation.

he politely insisted that I stop using it immediately

“Demisexual: A person who does not experience sexual attraction based on physical characteristics, but may develop sexual attractions based on an emotional or mental connection with another person.”

So “demisexual” means that a person doesn’t want to fuck someone until they decide that they want to fuck them? Still sounds like the vast majority of the population to me. Not caring about looks isn’t a sexual orientation, for Christ’s sake.

As a gay person, I HATE DEMIS. They are the worst. They constantly yell over actually LGBTQ people while almost entirely consisting of cis, straight people.

MWAHAHAHA I’m glad you asked.

This is extremely well-written and so damn true. I’m a white woman and when I read the author’s line, “For some reason, my mother has always hated Hillary Clinton. I don’t know why.” Oh boy. I did. It’s just misogyny. One so internalized, memorized and fetishized that they don’t even know what it really is. Just…

I had a coworker who cut her parents off right after the election. She’s white, a lesbian in an interracial marriage (her wife is Latina). Her parents voted for 45. She was like “No, we will not be coming to your house for Thanksgiving, and I see no need for us to speak further.” She has 3 or 4 siblings who are like…

OR they could consider that becoming a billionaire on the backs of people that can’t afford to eat in their restaurant is a soulless enterprise and take the hit of their increased but still not sufficient wages without raising their already preposterous prices.
