Today I graduated with a B.A. in Sociology. It only took me 15 years to finally get a college degree, but I did it. I finally did...something with my life.

It’s approx $58,000 for a private tour of less 3000 people for the permanent collection which is what they did, not counting the pyramid. I’m sure they just dropped a cold million or two and the Louvre was just like whatever just don’t touch anything.

Everything’s better with Bill Hader in it.

Let’s call this what it is, yeah? It’s emotional abuse. That is, intimate partner violence. I see nothing funny here.

I’m still trying to process it. That was really one of the worst days of my life. I was so sad after he passed, and then the emotions of going through his stuff brought up so many memories, and then my brother showed me the paperwork. It felt like my soul just dropped out of my body, and I didn’t have any idea what to…

Managed to defy my low battery:

No matter how a man murders us, it’s our own faults.

I had a very similar experience recently. It was horrible and took me weeks to recover from. I nearly walked away from a lot of money, because fuck that. But I didn’t. I was lucky in my case. I did something about it. Maybe it helped. I’m not sure. But I know how she feels! It sucks. Men who bully women in the work…

To give them a target for their hate and anger. This is not going to end well. Traumatized children grow up to be damaged adults. The fallout from this will go on for decades. Many of these children will grow up to be healthy, well-adjusted adults, but others will carry the psychological scars for the rest of their…

Somehow that message reminds me of “Arbeit macht frei” German for “work sets you free”. They put the words above the entrance to Auschwitz.

I know that many aren’t really fans here, but I loved Anthony Bourdain. I read his book many years ago and related to him so deeply. A person that also struggled with drugs and depression. This makes me really sad.

Also, in the absence of books to give all of you that address your own insecurities and terrible auto replay brain messages and the scars you’ve had to heal on your own, I will tell you two things I told both of them (and an extra):

“Bedazzled Hefty bag” was my first thought too! I’ve never been into this type of construction — it always reads to me as some bullshit on QVC where they’re all “OMG YOU CAN WEAR IT TEN DIFFERENT WAYS!!1! Twist this part and then wrap it around your head and tie the other nonsensical trailing piece to your foot and…

And as if from our mouths to god’s ears, insane requests just rained down on me, and I was expected to forego lunch to do them, which I’ve explained about a thousand times, that I can’t and won’t do that, because I’m hypoglycemic, and missing meals seriously messes with my health. So I took the time to eat and relax…

This is spectacularly cruel and stupid. Fuck off.

Please know we care, deeply. And don’t let that wretched monster in your brain try to make you feel guilty about it, either.

Artist/designer here as well. I currently work in kitchenwares/household goods and in this industry especially, it is basically expected to make it all look effortless. I do work for brands that are well known, and in one case, is over the top famous, and known for their effortless, rustic, chic, yet approachable…

Many of the most successful, self-possessed, vibrant, independent women in my life struggle mightily with depression and anxiety, and go between wanting to put it all out there — listen, if I can live through this, so can you — and wanting to keep it all hidden, because showing weakness will ruin her capacity to be a…
