Don’t despair! It takes time for exercise to have noticeable affects on the body. If you can, mix up what you’re doing, and try to incorporate more weights. Not only will taking different classes/doing different exercises keep your workouts fresh, it helps your metabolism AND can give muscle groups a good rest. Weight… Read more
Meanwhile, when I’ve said I wouldn’t get married without a prenup, the guys in the conversation are always SHOCKED and SO IMPRESSED that I, a lowly woman, would want a prenup. Those guys are always the ones who are unemployed, so idk what their deal is—it’s like a delusion that they’re at risk of attracting a gold… Read more

I’m in a long distance relationship that was formerly full of (really, really, really) good sexting. Then it just... stopped. Now my grimmest sexts are the constant rejections of my stextual advances. THERE ARE SO MANY. :’(
Oh god, when the one friend mused “I hope she doesn’t sink!” somewhere off camera, I wanted to scream YES YES EXPRESS YOUR CONCERNS MUCH LOUDER PLEASE
Goddess. That is all.
I’ve always had a miserable body image, but when I was 22 I started having panic attacks—full on PANIC ATTACKS—about how “fat” I was. The anxiety wasn’t new, but the vitriol towards my own body was. Like, I started hating my body when I was 10 or so, thanks to my naturally-super-thin mom’s constant remarks, but my… Read more
Maybe she can't eat nuts because they're too hard for her teeth, but ground is okay? I just want to believe that people with potentially life-threatening allergies are aware of what causes allergic reactions. I WANT TO BELIEVE.
30 minutes in, my dad asked when they all started playing baseball. He watched the whole thing and liked it, but said if we had told him what it was actually about he probably wouldn't have watched. Way to go, misleading titles!
Oh my GOD, I just burst out laughing and terrified my roommate. Well told!
It's a shoe-shine stand. See them all over the place in Turkey, too, not just Istanbul!

Hi, sorry, unrelated: I'm on a Fulbright in Turkey currently. Just a hunch, but if you were, I'd love to connect! :)
As someone who got very few scraps of body-positive messages as a child, and most of them were from going to the opera and seeing the diversity of body types... my heart is hurting so much.
