Haha. Nope. Couldn’t wear them even when I was thin, can’t wear them now. I don’t know why clothing manufacturers insist of making stuff that’s unflattering on 99.9% of the population. Even if you can squeeze into some of these, they’re just going to stretch out after a wear or two and then you’ll be hiking up your…

Haha I’m glad I’m not the only one who insults my cats for not financially contributing :-) When they yell at me for treats (they always have food available, but that’s not good enough for my spoiled babies) I always say, “You guys need to start pulling your own weight around here!” Yup, crazy cat lady - I know.

Yeah it’s crazy how normal very abnormal things become!

You need to find what’s right for you. Not slipping back into disordered eating is way more important than losing weight!

I think it will. Cis people, in my experience, aren’t so supportive of those who are transitioning or have transitioned because they just don’t “get it.” Not particularly proud of it, but after my very sheltered and religious upbringing, it took me getting to know a transwoman to “get it.” If millions of people can…

Myfitnesspal is the only thing in years that has actually helped me lose weight. I tried regular calorie-counting, Atkins, Weight Watchers, South Beach, you name it. But I do occasionally find that I have to take a “day off” from it every now and then so that I don’t get too obsessive. I like that it yells at me if I…

I’m happy to hear that about Matthew Lillard! I’ve had a crush on him for forever :-)

I have no fun celebrity stories because nothing terribly exciting ever really happens to me but I know others who have met Johnny Depp and they said he was very pleasant.

Stuff like this pisses me off to no end. My family was very poor while I was growing up and here’s the thing: being poor fucking sucks. Nobody wants to be poor. In good ol’ American bootstrap culture, poor=lazy and being poor is humiliating and dehumanizing as it is. Now these people want to dictate what type of food…

Aw man, I know how you feel. I have certain foods that I can avoid to avoid symptoms, but it took me a long ass time to find those certain foods. Also, if you’re in a medical marijuana state, cannabis can help calm your colon muscles...or so I hear :-)

I don’t know if her being young has anything to do with it. I would feel the same way about the power dynamic if it was a young male professor and an older woman, or an older female professor and younger men, etc. It’s the professor-student “I have the power to fail you, which could affect your GPA and your entire…

Mmm...if it was nudity in front of the class and everyone had to do it, that would be one thing. But students having to get nude in front of the professor to pass an art class? Yes, it’s an elective, but a failing grade can really fuck up your GPA. I’m all for stepping outside your comfort zone but this, to me, sounds…

Pro-choice folks don’t really need to get people to take us seriously. Abortion is legal. It’s been legal for 40 years. This is, I’m guessing, a way to get the media to pay attention to the fact that these cute little “crisis pregnancy centers” pass themselves off as clinics and medical facilities and then lie to…

I’ve heard from other women who know that if you consult with someone at a “crisis pregnancy center,” then decide to have an abortion anyway, they will continue to call and harass you about having n abortion. So yeah, really awesome people running these places.

Yup. My male coworker has mastered this. I am literally sitting and working for 40 hours a week, at a minimum. I regularly bring work home too and I am ridiculously productive. My male coworker spends maybe 4 hours a day working and the other 4 hours surfing the internet or chatting with other people in the office -…

Sally Hansen worked for me for about a year. Then it just stopped working. The last time I tried, I left it on the full 8 minutes and ended up with burnt, still-hairy skin...

I suppose I see your point.

I like how we’re so brainwashed that we think it’s “fucked up” to grab the baton of a police officer who is assaulting you for no reason...
