I was watching the episode on Dominique Crenn at the gym- cue trying to (somewhat successfully) hold back big heaping sobs on the treadmill. Such an amazing show!

I am so glad and also so devastatingly sad that this document exists. That was extremely informative, and I’m glad I read it, but goddamn I need a drink and some kittens right now.

Thank you for saying this! This is absolutely what I got out of the video, and I think it’s pretty brilliant, but seems like the point flew over most people’s heads.

She might not have had anywhere else to go- they were together since eighth grade, and if the relationship was abusive for a very long time (which, sounds like it probably was) she was most likely very isolated. Even if the court said “You can’t”, what else was she supposed to do? Nowhere to go and psychologically…

That was my first thought as well: “please flee the state, please flee the state, please flee the state”

Thank you SO MUCH for recommending that read. It’s fascinating reading, I’m reading all the replies on MF now, and have also found Nora Samaran as a result who I am also loving.

You single-handedly pointed me towards something that is going to make me a better feminist and person. Thanks!

Yeah I don’t get that either. What do they “do”? They make money. Isn’t that what we all are doing with ourselves 40 hours a week anyway?

The Kardashian clan has a net worth of over $300 million, Kanye’s net worth is $145 million... you can’t tell me you wouldn’t fake drama for the cameras and throw frozen OJ…

That’s a perfect description for what’s wrong with him- I saw him complaining today about Beyonce bringing the Mothers of the Movement with her and how wonderful the police force was when he was mayor and blah blah blah and thought “there has GOT to be an even more pointed name for his issues than Asshole”

No oh my god I HAVE TO have my cookie cutter house in Ashburn don’t you dare suggest otherwise!!! [/sarcasm]

I would hate on Great Falls residents too but we all know they drive/ are driven to work and don’t dare set foot on Metro.

Someone downthread commented about how they made a list of pros and cons with drinking and their pro list was half a page and their cons list was two pages, and it was a serious lightbulb moment for me because my pro list is about half a page and my con list is “I am older so I am more prone to get a hangover” and “I…

“I don’t know what to do or which steps to take, but I’m so fucking tired.”

“I need to get drunk to feel good about myself.”

“I think each person has to know themselves and the role drinking is playing in their life.”

Thanks for this. I go through periods where I really love drinking and then my anxiety kicks into overdrive and I wonder if I’ve developed a drinking problem as a reaction to recovering from binge eating, and then I un-anxiety…

I think it originated as a way to show off your shoes + funky sock combo, so if you have plain shoes and no socks it just looks super weird.

Manbun plus the pantsuit that is decidedly gender-neutral (seriously, omg I need those little dots for work!) = I DIG IT.

Yup. Crying at my desk at work now.

Write Chelsea Manning: I saw this link first on Jezebel and I’m posting it here again because I’m sure Chelsea could use as many words of encouragement as possible:

Short, fine, thick hair here- every day. Always been that way, even when I had long hair. I turn into an oil slick if I don’t wash it every day.

Ok my mind immediately jumped to wanting to bang someone that you really, really CAN’T- like a boss, or your best friend’s man, or something. Because she’s saying yeah, if I didn’t have to THINK about it, I’d totally jump your bones, but I CAN’T, and that SUCKS.
