It’s like he’s a bad person and his eyes are trying to get away.

Heyoooo, Jezzies!
I don’t post that much but I wondered if someone can help me with a very serious health issue.
Ever since my first memories, I would get some kinda nausea attacks and feeling like I am going to gag. If I don’t swallow a bit of water I dry heave for the longest time. I haven’t thrown up in years and am…

Thanks. It's very reassuring to get advice from the great Duke Silver.

I suffer from really bad anxiety, I’ve dealt with it for years but never had a name for it before I sought help. Anyways I had a mini panic attack in my Law school class the other day, crying in the back row etc. The professor asked me a question , I was caught off guard and said I didn’t know the answer, which caused…

Dang it. I’m a little more late to this than I was hoping.

I don’t have any advice to give here but want you to know you are not alone! I have been there plenty of times. Please be kind to yourself and if you can think of anything that would make you smile (ordering something online, getting food delivered, painting your nails, whatever) just do it! I know that the absolute…

When I was doing my Ph.D. I took it as a 9 to 5 job. I had an office at university so I would come in every morning of the week and actually work/attend classes (i only had two a semester) until 5. Then i took the night and weekends off. Most of the time I could make it work if I really actually did work during the…

Hey there, Duke Silver! (Do you have a twin brother?)

Honestly, I was 2-3 years into my Ph.D. program before I realized I was happier and healthier if I just took 1 day a week completely off from studying, class prep, and research. I also had a great group of people in my cohort, though, so even when I was in “working every day” mode, we would still plan day trips or do…

My non-neurotypical son started pre-school this week. He licks random objects and is scared of public bathrooms. I had whipped myself up into a frenzy of anxiety about all of the things that could go wrong. When his teacher texted me a picture of him having his snack, laughing with some little friends he made, I broke…

That is awesome. I’d tell her to go eat her words but I’d be afraid for the health of the baby.

Exactly! I don’t want to be told some Dove commercial bullshit about how beautiful I am in my own way, I want to be TREATED AS IF MY HUMAN VALUE IS NOT BASED ON MY APPEARANCE.

Oh my God I want to hug you. I am an actual ugly person, and constantly getting hit with this sort of double-edged sword is freaking *exhausting.* I have to face the fact that I live as an ugly person in a society that values physical beauty every day, but having any kind of discussion about it makes me shallow, vain,…

I’m a feminist who is constantly talking about the patriarchy and sexist ideas of acceptable femininity. . . but this would piss me right off.

They want us to accept their beliefs and their ways. But they won’t accept our beliefs and our ways.

Fuck it, I’m coming out of my self-imposed Gawker exile because you, sir, pissed me off. WHO gives a SHIT about her fucking moral opinions? WHO is interested in changing this piece of garbage’s mind? All that people are interested in is her upholding the fucking law, as she’s been ordered to do. The law doesn’t give a…

Pfft. Amateur. The pukier of my two cats has recently begun jumping on the bed when she starts heaving. Bonus: I have a white quilt. Well, a white quilt with brown spots...

About the only thing that keeps me from thinking that Meatloaf Woman is my aunt is that she didn’t ask the waitstaff to wash the seasoning off the food.
