Weekly Achievement Thread! What have you done this past week that you are particularly proud of? Let us know here so that we can crow about your fantasticness!

First off, the good: That is so exciting and I’m so happy for you!!

Anyone on the fence about having kids? Or maybe you used to be on the fence but finally made a decision one way or the other? How did you make a decision, and are you happy with the outcome so far?

Hello fellow Jezzies! Long time lurker, first time poster! Has anyone dealt with a loved one going through depression? My boyfriend is having a financially difficult time right now and it is not helping his depression. He hasn’t been able to find solid work in a year. He has over 10 years of work experience in…

What else is he supposed to do? Live his entire life trying to make it up to Lewinsky? Isn’t there a point where people can just move the fuck on? Meanwhile, the entire Lewinsky scandal would be considered a good week for the Trump administration but hey, let’s all keep obsessing about the Clintons.

Norman Reedus looks like he does not bathe on a regular basis.

There’s something weird about the way we talk about these situations, like we have a limited amount of “victim” slots and we need to portion out our sympathy accordingly, lest we run out.

Boy, do I know how you feel. (And I’m sorry, which is all there really is to say, right? I mean, it just... really fucking sucks.) So big solidarity hugs to you.

I’m not that into him, though. Which sucks. I WANT to really like someone, definitely who is nice

I read the piece. So here’s my question: What’s the solution?

You will have to give an update on that banana bread! I have never really been in to citrus until this season. I have made blood orange upside down cake, marmalade, curd and salad.

I can share my personal experience: my great uncle, who played a grandfather-like role in my life, was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer when I was 25. (He didn’t last long after the diagnosis.) It was the first time I and my younger brother really needed to step up to the plate as grownups in the context of our…
