I’ve been on a monocyclic birth control for over a decade, and about 2 years ago, my periods kind of...disappeared. I get maybe 2 periods a year (light ones), but usually, I may see a tiny bit of spotting or nothing at all. I checked with my gyno, she said it’s totally normal, but I still freak out whenever I don’t…

When I was in college, there was a creepy older guy that started working in the office where I did my work study hours. He was always flirty, but I would just respond politely and walk away, figuring I’d be able to put up with his comments because he never said anything explicit. Until the day that he decided to tell…

Yeah, it’s really unfortunate, and it happens a lot at the bigger, busier airports. Whenever I fly through smaller airports (even ones that are still international), the vibe is completely different, and the staff there treat you more like a human being. But at places like JFK, Newark, etc, there is an astonishing…

And it’s highly unlikely that any other victims in that town are going to speak up now, knowing how much support the town has thrown at their attacker.

Right? Also, JFK is an INTERNATIONAL airport. There were absolutely, without a doubt, people who spoke Italian inside one (or all) of the terminals who could have helped him. Fuck you, JFK security.

Seriously, thank you for taking the time to write this so clearly. I say this all the time, but not nearly so eloquently.

I believe that is the point that OP was making — the asshats who lobbied to strike down the equal rights bill were the fuckfaces who equated trans women to child rapists, not the OP:“ Opponents said the measure would allow men claiming to be women to enter women’s bathrooms and inflict harm, and that simple message —…

So here’s a bit more from the quote from the PP rep:

Well, corporations have more rights than people. Especially poor, marginalized, immigrant type people :/

I have cousins who were forced to get married because they were “so pretty they would get in trouble” — code for rape, or at least pre-marital sex — at the age of 12, 13, 14. But this was in Afghanistan. Guess there isn’t a huge cultural gap between the US and Middle Eastern countries, at least not when it comes to…

Oops. I sometimes greet delivery guys bringing me delicious food sans pants — but always in at least boyshorts...am I being a creep? No one has seemed to be too surprised or shocked, but I dunno? Maybe the delivery guys draw straws and the poor bastard who draws the short straw has to deliver food to the weird chick…

mystery solved!

Hugs to you. I’m glad you are no longer trapped in that environment.

A+

I just came here to say that I love Liam Neeson even more than I did before.

I heard about “spice” earlier this week from a PSA that’s airing on ABCFamily (yes, I sometimes watch shit on that network...don’t judge me). They did NOT mention that stripping naked and attacking a Subway was one of the possible outcomes...it’s a shame, it would have made for a much more engaging PSA.

I was in Mississippi and New Orleans this weekend for the first time so I have been drinking coffee w/cream & sugar or cafe au laits with sugar for the past 4 days... now my taste buds are sad about being back at work and drinking coffee with unsweetened almond milk, but my intestines are much happier. (Oh, this only…

Truth. Skim milk in anything makes me sad - coffee, cereal, desserts(!?) — anyone who tells me they subbed the milk or cream in a recipe with skim milk to “make it healthier” immediately gets defriended from my life.

Yeah, all my friends were making fun of me a few weeks ago when I turned 30 (it’s funny b/c I’m the youngest in my friend group), saying things like, “time for social security” and “one step closer to the grave” and other such nonsense. I came home last night to find something addressed to Mr. & Mrs.…

“so i look like an onion” just made me snort laugh so hard that half the office turned to gape at me...thanks for that.
