I have this distinct memory of reading one of these 80's high school prom books when I was a teenager, and the only part that I really remember is that all these teens are at the prom, and one of the teens had had a baby with her high school boyfriend who was now off at college, but they gave the baby up, and for some…

That whole interaction is literally giving my day a total lift. The fact that he texted back in a timely manner, the fact that he was ALL about going to the club with JLo to make her feel better, and that he called her boo boo. Absolute perfection.

I lived in Belgium for a bit. My friends live either outside Brussels, or right there, next to the EU. As a New Yorker I always arrogantly felt like if I was going to experience terrorism (again) it would happen in New York - not sleepy ol Belgium. Horrifying. My heart goes out to everyone in Brussels and Belgium.…

Gonna be hard to go to Antwerpen when Belgium is on lockdown...

I’m willing to bet it’s a year served with a full and final order of protection. Not that that matters *at all* and he will be right back to his old tricks. She can call the cops and have him picked up on violation of an OP and probably criminal contempt, but he won’t spend that much time in because of this. Our…

I discovered I had no idea how to pose in photos when I went to my dude’s sister’s pool party and all her friends posed in a “hand on the hip one leg bent with my body slightly angled” pose and I just...hunched in close to my dude causing me to look at least 3 months pregnant and slightly humpbacked. I have now been…

This whole thing is majorly fucked up. First off - the roll right up and start shooting. How the fuck did they yell “Show me your hands” in the span of time between the door opening and the first shots? Also, isn’t Ohio an open carry state? Even if he had a real gun, *he legally is allowed to have said gun in public

I got really excited when I read about this place and I am 100% heading over there. I’m a decalf drinker (caffeine makes my heart beat wrong) and this sounds divine.

I have an ex (we’re still very friendly so I can’t talk real smack) who used to pull his guitar out and sing and play while staring at me. It was so awkward. WTF am I supposed to do during this unwelcome, not requested onslaught? I used to use that time to clean the room or start dinner, because I legit didn’t know…

There we have it - thus the years before the trial. There’s normally a reasonable excuse (except when the DA’s are being dicks)

I don’t know the specifics, but I bet she was being 730ed (competency evaluations) as well as all the pre-trial exploritory stuff. It shoudln’t take this long, but I can imagine there were a few attempts to prove she was not sane when this happened, which tend to eat up time. (she also could have been found…

Her sign about the tweet was a specific sign about a specific time she was slut shamed. I have no real feelings about her or her event, but I feel like if anyone is attempting to erase the experiences of others, it’s you. You’re basically stating that she doesn’t deserve to discuss her experiences because she can (and…

She’s not evan Canadian? Really? So the Slut Walks that happened around the world didn’t count because they weren’t in Canada/weren’t put on by Canadians? Never belonged to her? Oh, so, it doesn’t belong to...all women? Huh.

I am confused as to why this is problematic. Can you explain it to me?

What, and not eat pizza? What kind of monster are you!?

Nah man, it’s totally adult like to accept what was given to you and then make it how you want it - most folks I know who work in kitchens roll their eyes at requests and huff about it (this is another story all together), so it’s just easier to pick out the peppers, or tomatoes, or scrape off some of the mayo, or…

Fuck it, I don’t want a mouth full of grease/oil. That’s why I blot that bad boy, not because I want to delude myself into beleiving I’m some how saving myself calories.

Ok, as a person who has hurled on planes, I can say, it’s no damn picnic as the person who is doing the puking. I once was able to make it to the bathroom every time I needed (international flight and I was right next to the bathroom), but the other time I wasn’t able to and had to use the puke bag. Luckily my parents…

I have a very normal “girl” name, and was called by a nickname my whole life, until I turned 25 and finally admitted that I hate that nickname. My parents refused to accept the nickname I chose for myself (another actual name, but a more unconventional name for a girl), and told me that they would rather call me by my…

If you listen to Undisclosed, they’re reviewing the actual case against Adnan, and they announced that they will do another season of the podcast focusing on another case like Anan’s - so if you liked Serial for that reason, totally keep an ear out for Undisclosed.
