When I was in highschool we would go out to a 16+ nightclub. It was a queer 16+ nightclub to boot, but also the ONLY 16+ nightclub. It forced some diversity on our boorish stereotypical jock male friends at the time. I’m a bit confused, in retrospect, how it all worked, but I remember it being a whole lot of fun and…

I don’t mean to frighten you but mine got progressively worse over time. On the flip side, once they hit a certain amount of awful (the story above, in combination with having 10+ migraine days a week) my doctors got proactive with me about fixing it. Once I took steps, medically, to do something about it, I did get a…

I get migraines that are often accompanied by intense vomiting and sometimes fainting. For this reason my doctor has told me to stay at home laying down in the recovery position when I get them so I don’t pass out, vomit, and die. Well I don’t do that really because it would mean I’d have no life. So one day I wake up…

Well Ted, thanks for giving me some fucked up reason to look at this barf-fest of a situation and chuckle a little bit.

I side-eye a little bit at her assertion that “the experts were wrong.” If she would have followed this advice earlier on and not waited until her child understood all the social processing involved it very well could have worked. I’ve worked with tons and tons of kids in a variety of circumstances and I don’t think…

I moved to freaking North Carolina from Portland (born and raised there, hippie parents, loved the Portland of the early youth) and I do not miss it the tinniest bit. Everywhere has their bullshit but at least where I live now the things I disagree with are clear, and people don’t try to to claim it to be what it is…

This is not at all happy conversation but has anyone seen the story out of Portland about the guy who posted to facebook that he had sexually assaulted a woman and was praised for being “brave” and “upfront”? Another woman (who is a acquaintance of mine) then came forward to say he had raped her years before and it…

Oy why did I read through that? All the infuriation with enough self control to know better than to toss myself in that mess. urgh.

My mom is obsessed with DWTS and I just called her up to ask if she was aware of this and she screamed into the phone with some mix of rage and excitement. She is always in competition with our relatives in England about who can have the silliest cast on their dancing celebrity show.

It is beyond fucked. All the comments on the last article were “how could she let this shit slide” and I’m not surprised at all it took so little time for her to respond with “FUCKING NOPE”

lololol “me”

Trying to send dirty pics with your kid snuggled up next to you is next level skeevey. I respect that being a woman in politics, Huma is in a delicate situations, BUT FUCKING GOOD FOR HER OH MY FUCKING GOD.

What a fucking mongoose.

The Liberal North Carolinians are coming for the state government. I hope there is enough support for down ballot candidates this election. I know there are a lot of backwards ideas here, but this state is also becoming very well educated and attracting a lot of young professionals. Seeing them panic and try to…

This was right now the street from me and I DID NOT KNOW. Honestly, though, just looks like another evening at Catawba, there is almost always a harmonica involved. BUT STILL.

Fuck. Yes.

I feel like we (women) all have some kind of experience. I told a guy on a bus once that I didn’t want to talk to him and he continued leering at me telling me that he “Had a right to look where he wanted and say what he wanted.” I tried to refrain from upsetting him because it was a scary situation, but I wanted to…

For men, sometimes, yes. This is a very real issue. One of my best friends is Japanese and waffeling between where to live. We’ve had lots of talks about the experience of women in Japan. There is definitely a reason many women there are choosing to be single, unmarried, not have children.

I can’t imagine how that poor woman feels. I hope she finds some peace someday.

Yes, who gives a fuck about the actual living, loved, cared for human child here? We’re discussing the much more important fetuses.
