So my boyfriend and I started dating 6ish months ago after years of being friends. I think because we had been friends for so long, and there was a little bit of adjustment to dating, we just naturally started doing this (periodically breaking the fourth wall and saying: “so how are you feeling about this. is there…

I had a few big parties, but it was way more likely for my mom to say “okay, we’re gonna do X thing, so pick a friend or two, and that’s your birthday”

I’ve had lots of exes that I stayed tight with, until we both fully moved on (and in some cases, physically moved away) - and I’ve had other exes where I cut the cord, and then became friends later - and I’ve had one ex that I needed a clean break with. As long as it works for you (and you aren’t kidding yourself…

ALSO: Stars may not have been strong on color, but people working in Hollywood (which this movie seems to involve a lot of behind the scenes) certainly involved a lot of people of color. If there’s any musical number (and the Scarlett Johannsen/aka Esther Williams character seems to suggest that is likely), then there…

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

Butterick9000 Human: Cut along pattern lines

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...
