I’m doing this thing where each week I make dinner from a different country and I was basically Ally when I went to the Asian market for Myanmar week. “Um, I’m looking for, um, water spinach?” *Google a pic* “This, I need this” *store employee starts speaking a different language and laughing at me* “I’m sorry for…

I don’t think anyone can say with certainty that chronic Lyme doesn’t exist yet. There are too many unknowns about it and autoimmune disorders. My brother is suffering from chronic Lyme, or at least what people mean when they say chronic Lyme and it’s the best guess we have in a world without successful treatment and…

I love your explanation of Chronic Lyme asbeing permanent damage from past Lyme disease. It makes a lot of sense to me. I have fibromyalgia, so I empathize with these individuals with this long term condition and know how awful it is to be in pain and be greatly limited. But I think calling the condition ‘permanent…

Said every newcomer to America ever.

If my rich father just ignored my pleas for help I would shit on his silver platter, too.

Star Wokes Episode VII: The Bae Awakens

Superbae

A new Bae has come.

Women are told the same things- that our bodies are inherently sexual and for men. Internalized misogyny can really do a number on us.

I’m doing great. Believe me, I will not be leaving my bedroom. I feel like I am on a bed of feathers.

I do it, too, totally without realizing it. From hearing it so much growing up, I guess. One time I said that to my boss as we were getting out of the car for a client meeting, and he gave me the weirdest look. His car is so fancy it’ll basically come to life like a Transformer, chase you down the street, and politely…

Whenever my mom drives somewhere with someone, after everyone gets out of the car, but before the doors are shut, she will ask the driver, “Do you have your keys?” because she locked herself out of the car once in 1979 and vowed that it would never happen again. I think it’s mildly annoying, but sweet; a sign of…

I was mostly with her until, “We are all Becky with the good hair. Every last one of us.” Um no. Not all of us sleep with married men. I’m not even saying you’re a bad person if you do, I’m just pointing out how inaccurate the statement is.

It should also never be confused with "Beck With The Good Hair."

Don’t people understand anything? Beyonce never really talks about the other woman, she doesn’t rage at her or confront her. She doesn’t degrade the other woman. This album is not for them. It’s not for the side-chick; it’s not for the cheating spouse; it’s for all the women who’ve been cheated and lied to and had to…

I am a straight, cis-female with severe polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), which has the effect of giving me a full face of dark facial hair. I am also unfortunate enough to live in NC. On the way to get my face waxed 2 weeks ago, I stopped in a DSW to look at shoes for my upcoming wedding (to a man, which I am not).…

Fuck.

It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that that bar's bathroom is safe for four year-old girls.

The singulars and plurals are all over the place there. If he’s going to say it at all, it should be: “Wives are to honor and respect and follow their husbands’ leads, not to tell their husbands how they ought to be better husbands.” Or, alternatively: “A wife is to honor and respect and follow her husband’s lead, not…
