I'm crying and I'm not even sure why I am crying.

IF!!!!!????? IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND? Is there another writers room in hollywood that isn't the other way around?

i don't wear jewelry but my parents pierced my ears when i was little because they're filipino and it's standard in their culture, and i find my "permanent scars" to be NBD

I was 8 years old when I went into my parent's bedroom one morning while my parents were still asleep and saw my Dad had a boner. I totally freaked out, woke my Mom up by dragging her out of the bed, and called 911 because I thought it was a chestburster from Aliens.

I can't use things with sulfates because my scalp breaks out in hives. Same with toothpast. Having bleeding welts on your scalp or gums is no bueno. I will stick to my sulfate-free shampoo, thanks. A number of people are legitimately sensitive to ingredients but that doesn't mean everyone needs to stop using them.

As a curly-haired girl I can attest that not using them on my hair has made it much shinier and less frizzy. It's not a matter of them being unsafe, just that they don't agree with my hair. (co-washing forever!!!!!!)

I quit wearing bras entirely about 2 years ago, and I feel so much better, now. I get some stares and occasional comments, but fuck 'em. I'm not in pain all the time, and I don't have red marks and bruises from wires and straps gouging into me anymore! I'm definitely coming out ahead, in my opinion.

Does anyone out there remember Sue Johanson? When I was in university, we would all congregate on Sunday nights to watch her sex advice show. Absolutely brilliant. This article reminded me of her.

The last thing I want to do is give this giant and troubling waste of our goddamn time the acknowledgment that is clearly so desperately craved. But the fact that I must suppress my pride and bring attention to this in a plea for support from my own employer makes it all the more ridiculous.

Common knowledge that you have to declare more than 10,000?

My husband was offended that I thought he would be embarrassed to buy tampons for me. I'd seen it so often, I just expected it from all guys by the time I met him. It's ridiculous how common this trope is.

Back when I smoked, I had a male co-worker I would often share cigarettes with. We both were cool with each other going into the other's desk drawer to grab one.
