This week has been amazing and I hope you don't mind celebrating with me. :) I just got a job offer on Thursday for a permanent position back in my home province! I'm super excited about the job and being close to friends and family again! I really like the job I have now, but it is only a contract and the most the…

Normally I enjoy my celebrity train wrecks as much as the next gal, but as someone celebrating my two-years-without-a-drink anniversary today (yehaw!), this just makes me sad. Girl, I see your bloated, pasty face, sad eyes and strange bruises. I know them well. Maybe I'm projecting, but I doubt it. There is a better…

The nice thing about the zero rule of multiplication is that I still don't have to pay shit for them.

This was my mom. White, married to her husband (not my dad) when she gotten pregnant, and when he left her with three kids. He never paid a lick of child support and never even worked long enough in his life to qualify for social security. She not only managed to get a bachelors degree in her 50's, but became a civil…

The thing is, we don't know that she didn't try to escape before that day. We don't know much of anything besides the information about what lead up to the crime and some basics about her home situation. Maybe she tried to leave but didn't have the resources or any type of family/community support. Maybe she tried to…

And I'm sure there's someone out there who would look at your friend and say 'he shouldn't have been where he was' or 'he shouldn't have been dealing with those people'. I'm sorry about what your friend is dealing with but it doesn't change the fact that you're doing pretty much what people would do if they look at…

I'm all for lengthy sessions of oral sex, but if it takes hours it sounds like it isn't being done right or you are abusively forcing someone to do something for extended periods of time.

Interestingly, battered woman syndrome doesn't often hold up in court, since it hasn't been shown to be a real thing.

I have a hard time with women that are in abused relationships staying in their abused relationships. And if they have children, that's a whole new level of awful. There justh as to be a point when a person can take a look at what's going on and get the hell out of there.

There is literally nothing that makes a Jezebel commenter more furious than suggesting a woman should be held accountable for her own choices. Good luck, with this one.

Yes but was she there when they were kidnapped? Did she call the police after?

Is the only proof that she was held at gunpoint her own testimony?

Caffeine vs Xanax, I just can't. ........ its atrocious. ...

It zipped by pretty quick — he was doing the teasing-but-not thing.

Came here to say just that - Chicago has bested NY in both the first cupcake vending machine and pizza.

There was a time when the phrase "real life Carrie Bradshaw" would have seemed aspirational.

Anyone else rewatched that show, lately? Eeek, ten-years-ago-self. Eek.

Nope. Nope. I've checked, and the creepiest part was definitely the part where she tried to murder a woman and kidnap her baby.

If the day ever comes that I get married, two words: City. Hall.

I was in a shop the other day looking at magazines, and it amazes me how many magazines are devoted to one day of your life. Surely women will only ever buy one or two? Surely a book on how to plan a wedding would be more appropriate? How can the market for this be bigger than all the special interest magazines put…

It is so, so satisfying to see someone actually flip a table.
