When I was in college, I drove through Prairie View every time I went home. My dad (who had gone to the same college I did) warned me on my first drive to never speed through Prairie View, while also noting that it would be worse if I were black. (Spoiler, I’m white.)

It definitely has a reputation...

My mom uses hers as a sugar holder. It looks very cute on the counter next to the coffee maker. :D

10/10 would buy, wear and do my best My Fair Lady impression

Haha - zomg, i also gave my bf a really fancy pocket watch back when we were just bffs and I had a not insignificant crush on him! Filing this idea away for the future :)

This is one of the cutest wedding photos I’ve ever seen, and hands down the cutest cake eating wedding photo I’ve ever seen <3

My high school boyfriend got married a few years ago. There was no jealousy or crazy or feeling like I missed out - but I still got sad. Because even though the door was closed and you didn’t want to open it, now it’s locked. If it was a decent relationship and they shared a lot, it can ache. I spent a night feeling a…

i’m envisioning more at the end of the night, in the parking lot hanging out with friends. Light it up, then disappear in the smoke like batman

Oof. That’s awful. No matter what the reason, I think you can pretty much guarantee that by throwing the bouquet, you are making at least one single friend DEEPLY uncomfortable.

I definitely know what you mean! But fortunately, this friend was more concerned about the hazards of blowing something up, than the tradition being ditched :)

I told a friend of mine that when I get married, I want to stick a firework in the bouquet at the end of the night. And just let the flowers explode.

........am I the only one who finds the words “dadbod” like really unsexy?? Not the idea, but the term. Like. Please can we call it anything else. Shlubbod? that’s fine

I know a lot of others have been on this theme - but teach them awareness of the bad stuff, but also that other people’s actions are not their fault or responsibility. It helped me not only to know how to react, but also how to avoid getting so angry that I couldn’t function. I learned to stop it when I could and…

Weirdly, it was preceded by a conversation with my grandmother when I was probably 11 while on vacation in a big city (maybe NYC?) and she warned me to stay close to her and my sister because I was getting to an age where men would be interested and inappropriate. All of a sudden, I started paying attention to whether…

Vancouver and/or Whistler in the spring, summer or fall! It's woodsy, and there's good hiking and river rafting, but not too cold!

Adding “editorializing” to “satire” on the list of words that people don’t seem to understand anymore...

Sigh. Sometimes it’s just about people wanting to be applauded, regardless of who is applauding.

Depends a lot on your relationship with the person doing it. I’ve never straight up confronted like, “Would you say that to a MAN?? EH??” In general, I find that the HRHDuchessNapsalot method works, where you show them by your reaction (blank or quizzical look and/or a gentle explanation of things, ex. “I don’t drink…

I’ve gotten negative feedback (from both men and women) for not being enough of a cheerleader in meetings. Not that I am negative on people’s ideas — but because I say “that’s a really interesting and cool idea! Now lets talk about how we could possibly do it” rather than saying “yay! that’s great!! I loooove that…

Neither is huge, but both sucked.

it's not for like, huge burns that break the skin - for instance, when your wrist grazes the edge of the industrial popcorn popper. You run cold water over it, put a little mustard on it, wrap it with a paper towel for a bit
