* that should be conventionally attractive. Auto correct plus commenting while watching tv are a bad combo

Law and Order: SVU has gotten particularly bad about thus in the past few years. I the early seasons, episodes usually started with the aftermath, the victim going to the station or being found or the detectives arriving at the hospital. But now it feels like every other episode opens with the graphic sexual assault…

I felt very similar to what you’re describing before I had my child. A kid sounded fine and all, but I had no strong yen for one and would have been perfectly fine if it didn’t happen for us. I think a parallel universe me is probably child-free and having a grand old time. But since I’m with-kid universe me, this is…

“I’ve broken down I don’t know how many times. Or I’ll get angry about the crying, then sad about being angry, and then guilty, like, Why do I feel so sad when I have a beautiful baby? The emotions are insane.”

Virtual hugs to you. And I wanted to say, feeling alone and sad and scared in these circumstances - you are growing a new person which is hard and exhausting and have very little support at the moment - is completely understandable. You need rest and someone to hold you and circumstances just don’t allow for that at…

Anyone know how to contribute to her campaign? I’m not finding a campaign website or funding page.

This exactly. Look, I would never fault a woman for saying, “I really, really don’t want this accusation against my loved one/friend/colleague to be true.” It’s hard to find out someone you care about, trust, and esteem probably did something terrible. It makes you question your entire relationship with that person…

Can concur.

“IT WAS LENNY FROM ‘OF MICE AND MEN.’

Thanks for this! I’m trying to get more of my regular spending in the hands of POC, especially WOC, but it’s hard to individually identify minority-owned businesses, especially outside of one’s immediate community.

Hello fellow white lady, this is a remarkably ignorent and racist comment.

This is a very thoughtful post and I appreciate your taking up the mantle for us grays. I’ll add my story to the list:

 Did the definition of the word “sexy” change this year and I missed it? I was at the movies this weekend, did every male cast member of Thor and Black Panther say, “Nah, pass?” Because every man in those films, including green, CGI hulk are far more compelling than... what’s his name again? Bland? Egg?

I still remember the Tale of the Hungry Hounds all these years later. Not because the story itself was particularly good, but actress who played the possessed girl was so darn unsettling to 11 year old me. Bonus for fun graveyard inscription causing pre-adolescent musings on mortality: “As I you are, so I was, as I…

How are some companies coping with freely-discoursing women? For one, “game zones” are reportedly supplanting open bars...

This baffles me. I have a strict two-drink-maximum at work parties because the stakes are just too high. Why risk making an ass of yourself in front of the person who controls your salary? Or the people you are obligated to work with every day with whom you may not have any other sort of connection that would allow…

I’ve sat in that very same room twice now and never even made it to voir dire. It’s not uncommon for entire 30-person juror groups to be called and then dismissed without ever seeing a court room. The last time I was there, I think the majority of the jurors were dismissed without being called back to a court room.

Same. I don’t flatter myself that I’m particularly insightful or witty, but I do have an 8 year comment history proving that I am not a troll and that I have a rudimentary grasp on English grammar and usage (I am now guaranteed to make a typo in this comment), yet I am gray everywhere except I09 and a few Giz…

The little girl in the Leia costume is counting down the seconds until she can leave. That face says, “welp. This tuned out exactly how I expected. This is on you dad.”

Question: Why does he need you to be this? Why does he require you to have the same number of friends as he does and socialize just like he does?
