Thank you for this awesome response! It is definitely something I am going to come back to when I am having an “oh fuck what have I done, what if (insert future worry here) ?” moment.

That’s awesome that you’re taking on doing the changes yourself! It must feel great to make it exactly how you want it.

Thank you! Yes, I love my agent. And I thankfully have a really great attorney, too. I’m an attorney but know nothing about real estate and have asked all the questions, even if they are probably dumb ones. It’s definitely the kind of purchase that any money saved by hiring a not great attorney might end up being…

I love Tommy, too! I think he might actually be my favorite. He gets so earnestly angry (but I also loved Lovett’s description of him as a boat shoe in human form).

Yesssssss. Yes, please. To add to the proof of relationship comments below: last winter a lot of his travel woes were en route to New York, where Ronan lives, and there was one story where he slipped and said something that indicated he was going to see his boyfriend. And the other guys have occasionally ribbed him…

Those don’t look like Indochino suits!

Oooh I am so excited to watch this! I am in the process of buying for the first time. It’s my literal dream place and is within in my budget, but I am having such anxiety* over what if I get an amazing job opportunity that pays less or what if I meet someone (or get more serious with the person I’m seeing) who doesn’t…

This seems to be a common sentiment in these threads. I’m in a non-monogamous thing and we have the reverse situation: I’ve had little luck in meeting people I actually want to sleep with and he has multiple dates a week that are quality enough to lead to, at minimum, a one night hookup.

I read another article about this today and it included a bit where she discusses how everyone was depending on her, she couldn’t get the job done and she’ll have to live with that for the rest of her life. I’m guessing there is more of that in the book.

I don’t think that’s entirely accurate. I wrote down below about how poly and cheating aren’t mutually exclusive, but I also think poly is sometimes seen as a quick fix to the work and pitfalls that come with monogamy when it comes with its own set of work and pitfalls.

This. Very, very much this.

This echoes some of what others have said, but there can be some serious misogyny involved when a straight, cis guy cheats, especially when it is done in the ways Joss apparently did it. And I say all of this as someone who has both been cheated on and been the other woman (something that I consider to be the worst…

Illinois might be a somewhat conservative state, but we have four school districts with official trans supportive school policies - including Chicago Public Schools - and others that don’t have official policies but operate following best practices models. The southern part of the state is largely conservative but one…

What’s with this “we need to be a family” garbage? And this is not some magical way to pick up seats in the House. People care about jobs and they care about health care and if the Democrats don’t have a strong message about those things it won’t matter where a candidate stands on abortion. Also, if they would pull…

I do legal work with the trans/GNC community and already field a ton of questions from active service members because the military is a bureaucratic clusterfuck. Daily life in general for so many service members can be highly unpredictable.  To announce this with no directive, no plan and no heads up to the Pentagon…

The idea of that giant group of boys/men being inspired by the leader of their country to boo a woman who was his political opponent and is now a civilian is blood chilling. The Dirtbag Left/CTH crowd likes to act like misogyny isn’t at play with anything in regard to Hillary. It’s been six months since he took office…

I’m so excited to see this. Hot tip, Rough Night: it’s possible to be funny and financially successful without relying on killing a sex worker for your punchline.

This thread is giving me so many sensory flashbacks to high school! I totally sat in dark bedrooms with incense and candles from Candleman listening to Hole, only it was Pretty on the Inside and Live Through This (one of the best albums of all time). I wanted to marry Daniel Johns from Silverchair. “Stupid Girl” was…

OMG Toad the West Sprocket!!! I totally forgot about them. I was so obsessed with them in high school.

Yessss. I still love her too. Boys for Pele is my all time favorite record.
