You’re not. I wasn’t (and am not) suicidal or depressed when I watched it, but I was as a teen for a lot of my 20s. I came away from it feeling very grateful that I made it through all of that. I have other friends in my 30s who were had a similar reaction, and absolutely loved it.

Glad it helped you come to the answer. I was a suicidal teen/young adult, and watching the show made me feels so grateful I survived that. I’ve heard others my age have the same reaction. I really think those that insist it glamorizes and romanticizes suicide haven’t watched the full first season.

I don’t think so. I suspect a lot of the people that think that it glamorizes suicide/revenge fantasies haven’t actually watched it (or at least not more then the early episodes). I can see how you could think that starting out, because it initially looks like it’s going to play out as a straightforward revenge…

I’m in your age range and I couldn’t even find any babysitting opportunities until I was 18 and in college—and then it was babysitting/tutoring a 9-10 year old. As an adult, the kids I’ve babysat (who are close friends’ kids) are only entrusted to close friends or family, OR an extremely well-vetted babysitter or…

Camping is so much fun! It’s not for everyone, but the best thing about it spending time in nature and completely getting away from the normal routines and pressures of life.

Clothing provides protections against elements and insects. Same goes for tents. Both are functional when camping.

I swear, some Americans actually camp instead of “glamp”

I’m still wondering “why” wear makeup while camping. It seems completely out of context to me. There’s plenty of times and places for wearing makeup, but wearing it when you’re attempting to get away from it all is... taking a whole bunch of societal and physical baggage with you.

Why wear makeup while camping at all? It’s just going to create more trash you have to haul out, for the benefit of no one but the wildlife, perhaps your camping partners, and the mirror you brought solely to do your makeup.

What an adorable doggo! Omar looks like such a sweetheart!

What a handsome guy!

You should get back into it! I just started riding again recently, and it’s been great (and walking into the barn and smelling it is just amazing). My instructor was someone who rode as a kid, stopped for years, and started it up when her kids were taking lessons.

They were evaluating based on subtle signals, such as how much they were looking out of the left versus right eye, and signals of relaxation versus nervousness.

And also, around the same age (maybe a couple years older?), there’s a KUWTK episode that has Kylie and Kendall dancing around their mom’s stripper pole...

I think Mary Kate and Ashley have a line called Elizabeth and James... it sounds like she couldn’t even think of an original names (and yes, sure they all named it after loved ones named James... but if you’re going to give your kid an “uncommon” name like Saylor, why not “uncommon Saylor?”

The only reason I know her name is because she wrote a really shitty memoir about her gap year in Africa, with all sorts of problematic white savior tropes and a story about narrowly escaping violent rebels... in a country that doesn’t have violent rebel groups. Basically, she completely made shit up, and was called…

YES! This site has definitely had a huge role in its “cool girl” attempts to put down HRC (as it has done countless other times with other women).

I have this bathing suit, and it’s probably the most flattering suit I’ve ever had. I wish the cups had a bit more structure, but it’s been sufficiently supportive for lounging around a pool/casual swimming (I’ve worn it at when I’ve been a 34DD to 38D). I probably would wear a swim bra under it though if I wanted to…

These two books are the last in this series (though I’m bummed they didn’t start with the first book), so hopefully they won’t re-do the stories of the later wives.

After seeing what friends have gone through in custody battles with abusive men, I find that myth bizarre. It seems like the courts will go to great lengths to preserve a father’s access to a child, even if that father is abusive to the child and/or mother, and is using the legal process as a way to manipulate the…
