I started a new job 2 weeks ago. I was doing fine, then on Friday I could not get anything right and I felt like an IDIOT.

God love you for taking the time to type all this out. This is so helpful and reassuring! I have heard tale of these konbinis and they sound like heaven. I tend to push myself way too hard when I travel—you are absolutely right that the better way to experience a new place is to leisurely observe and see how I feel in…

Thank you! :)

I leave for Japan in 3 DAYS! Ahhh! I am SO nervous! I don’t speak any Japanese and am going alone. I’m going Tokyo > Matsumoto > Nakasendo trail > Kyoto. I’m ready to have my mind totally bent by how amazing it is, but scared about the inevitable awkwardness of eating out alone and using the subway when I don’t speak…

First, you should absolutely not write yourself off. Idk which bar you are taking, but the pass rates in most states are very very high. Odds are, you will pass.

What an utterly dumb take all around. To the girl who received the diet bar: everything it not all about you. You got a snack. It’s mass advertising and you were not singled out.

sinking feeling of realizing while I’ll measure up to be someone somebody could potentially admire, like, or love one day, it sure as fuck wouldn‘t be today.

And these kids have been warned over and over again about the eternal nature of Social Media.

Parkland teen Kyle Kashuv’s acceptance into Harvard has been rescinded in response to the fact that he was quite a flagrant racist while in high school.

Yep, we are on the same page. He was pretty spineless at times. 

This guy is a troll. His response to you was totally uncalled for. He did the same to me. He is obviously a miserable human being. Please ignore him and have a lovely day.

Oof, that sounds rough. I completely sympathize—my mother and sister are similar. I really don’t get it. In my experience, it is like they feel personally injured when people criticize Trump. Instead of admitting that he may be wrong about something, they double down.

This will sound silly, but try to find a water bottle that you enjoy drinking out of. For instance, I hate those aluminum bottles. I also dislike small-mouthed bottles. Upon reflection, I realized that I had positive associations with 32oz, plastic waterbottles with wide mouths. I have now acquired a large mouth…

I agree that certainly clothing is appropriate for certain situations. I think most people would agree with that. But that’s not really the conversation being had here. This is about telling girls that they are responsible for the actions of boys, that their bodies are inherently sinful, and that they should be…

That’s interesting. Do you have a link to the study? I’d like to read more.

I agree with that, and I think you have articulated it well. I think that is largely consistent with what I have written above. Again, I agree absolutely that the school handled it poorly.

Whoa whoa whoa. If you want to have sex with someone and you dress sexily, then that’s great! The quoted above assumes that I am showing up on the date with the expectation that sex is not on the table.

Yes, I agree with that. A woman who is at a beach wearing a bikini is absolutely respecting herself. What else should she wear?

I’m going to play devil’s advocate on this one. I agree totally the school handled this incorrectly—some of the quotes above are super cringe-y (the “blame is on them”?? Good lord).

RBG has made these exact comments on previous occasions. This is not exactly news. IMO, the handwringing about Kav in this article is a little. . . overwrought? Post Kozinski, the judiciary is hyper aware of abuse. Kavanaugh is no dummy—he’s not going around hiring all female clerks to assemble a harem of attractive…
