I watch it, too, so we are the full complement.

I am! It got me to an extremely bad place (via interesting stories I can never tell about people who are currently culturally relevant, were not at the time, and are garbage people). A lunatic dug me out of that spiral and started a new version of it. Finally, I met my husband, changed my life dramatically, cut ties…

Yep. Been there. It sent me into a really damaging spiral, too.

I think it’s hilarious. In fact, rich alternate universe me would buy all these items.

I love them, too. I don’t have a single thing from there that isn’t gorgeous and the champagne flutes are a surprisingly affordable hit as a go-to wedding gift. I would totally buy those cups.

When I took that quiz to see if Trump would allow me to immigrate to the US, I passed. Almost everyone else I know did not. I took it to mean I could probably immigrate to other countries if Trump continues to fuck things up. Here is the quiz if you are interested (I have 36 points!): http://time.com/4887574/trump-rais…

It seems like when people have a problem with “identity politics” they seem to believe in “trickle down social justice”. So, help the white straight guy and eventually everyone else will be helped, too. I think it works about as well as trickle down economics.

They really are. A friend of a friend landed a post-doc in a really prestigious lab. Turns out the leader of the group is absolutely insane. Friend has no recourse—if she says anything, she will be labeled a troublemaker and the field is small.

I have a solid background in GC/MS (actually, and other GC types). I wasn’t about to let them test my breast milk as I hate pumping and am not willing to let any of it go to waste and I know my rights (I had the TSA page on it printed out). Apparently I look innocent so I got waved by but I wasn’t about to let them…

I live in Virginia and these campaign ads are the most bizarre I’ve ever seen. Gillespie is essentially saying his opponent is supportive of child molesters. It’s insane.

Yeah, well, those of us with extreme chronic pain are getting chucked under the bus with this one. It seems like the solution is becoming suffering or suicide because yoga and positive thinking doesn’t fix the fact that my tailbone is currently out of joint, that my shoulder has been dislocated for 8 years, or the…

Absolutely. Absolutely. You have to deal with all the grief of a victim and all the grief of loving the perpetrator mixed together. It’s terrible and different and I’m sorry. I will tell you that if you have someone you can just cry to or rant to—the type that won’t tell you that you should be over it already—do it.…

I check for snakes because I had a friend who had snakes in her toilet (which confirmed what was until that point a seemingly irrational fear).

I had a close family member killed in a rather grisly hate crime about 20 years ago. Murder is completely different to deal with than other types of death. I have a friend who lost somebody to murder and she’s the only one who really gets it. I wish you peace.

I’m glad my husband regularly goes up into our attic because god knows I never would do so. And it seems like something that needs to be checked, like a crawlspace (another place that I will not enter).

I love Daylight!! I was just thinking this list could have used a little Stallone. I had to have my boyfriend watch ahead to assure me the dog wasn’t going to die though.

Did people believe you?

That made me tear up (perhaps because I recently had a baby but still).

He’s an honorary goose.

Oh, come on. That’s just identity politics. If we help out the hetero white man than good things trickle down to everyone else. Because what is good for the hetero white goose is good for all the other geese/[all the sarcasm in the world].
