Ugh I had a similar experience! Literally the only time I felt unsafe in a cab in DC it was an overweight white guy who kept adjusting the mirror to watch me and asking inappropriate questions. I was playing with my hair, pulling out strands, leaving fingerprints on the door, thinking “if I’m going to die tonight, I’m…

Oh my god. This story wins the contest for me. I can’t believe you went back for a second sleepover!!!! Everything about this story is TOOOO CREEPYYYYYYY!!! My goosebumps started when you described the dad crouchING and peeking out from behind the wall. UGGGHHHHHHH NIGHTMARE FUEL.

Ok, here goes. Writing this out makes me want to barf. 

Around five years ago, I was a TA for an undergraduate literature course that had 300 students; there were two TAs and our job was mostly to do grading (sigh) and hand out exams and set up PowerPoints and stuff of that nature. Basically, assist the professor in all manner of tedium while she lectured. Due to a…

So, in her life, my mom has gone through some shit. Sometimes, she’s not the most reliable narrator, but she tells this memory so consistently and with such emotion, that I believe her. She grew up in the late seventies, and eighties. My grandma was (still is tbh) a disaster. Grandma was part of the California…

WHY DID I READ THIS RIGHT BEFORE I HAVE TO WALK HOME ALONE IN MY SAFE-SEEMING HIPSTER NEIGHBORHOOD.

Well I’m not a raging alchoholic and I don’t smoke 2 packs a day so I think I’m good, talk to me again in 8 years, if I respond I broke the curse 😉

We had squirrels in our attic a couple years ago (took a couple weeks to trap them all). One thing you touched on that I learned from the experience was that, while I’m not normally afraid of squirrels, it is unbelievably terrifying to find one IN YOUR HOUSE. At one point during the ordeal, I opened the hall closet…

Reposting my tale of my almost-murder from last year.

Then they have the gall to tell me not to complain about being tired because I don’t have kids and its a luxury that I wake up 7 am on weekends and can’t go back to sleep and chuckle while saying “I wish waking up at 7am on weekends was considered sleeping in”, well fuck you, you chose to have kids. I will complain…

Don’t worry, you’ll change your mind

I hate to rain on the Taylor Swift will not attack a white woman theme, and I hate myself for even commenting on a pop singer’s beef, but Taylor certainly has not had any problem with attacking Katy Perry, who is a white woman. My interpretation as to why she attacks Kanye West instead of Kardashian is that Kardashian…

my favorite part is the wording: “suspicion of resisting or delaying an officer”

And every goddamn bit of the officer’s account (of accosting, threatening with animal attack, detaining, assaulting, and allowing an animal attack on an innocent woman) is written up to imply guilt, of something, on the victim’s part, right down to describing her act of ‘trying to go home from the store’ as fleeing…

Let’s be real, the only part of the description these fucking pigs paid any attention to is the word “Black.” Age, shape, size, gender, none of these things man a thing so long as whoever they grabbed was Black. This is not a case of mistaken identity. This is the cops not giving a fuck who they target and aren’t even…

MOAR HATS PLZ KTHXBAI

Hats are soon to be trendy. Think not? When you see street vendors selling them in New York City that’s your clue.

I moved to a hat-wearing Euro country three years ago and at first, I made fun of the hats. Then, I got a pink hat as a “haha, look at how Euro I am” ironic wear at my first day at the races. Now I own multiple hats and can’t imagine going to a wedding without. Hats. Are. My. Thing. Now.
