So I’ve finally decided to quit my job. Most of my work is done in a volunteer capacity and it’s too much stress for almost no money. Now the soul-crushing job hunt begins! I’m disabled and can only manage part-time work and I live in a very economically deprived area so... yeah. This is going to be fun.

Still in New Hampshire visiting my family basically waiting for my dog to die - she’s had a bad couple of days, so I think this week is it and we’re going to have to put her down on Monday or Tuesday. I’m kind of mad at my dad because my mom and I both think she is suffering (she has barely eaten today, mostly lies…

My life is finally getting its shit together. I’m taking a VISTA Leader position in Vermont, my finances aren’t on fire, and my summer project absolutely rocked. This is a weird feeling for me.

This pretty much says it all about this guy and his ilk:

Planned Parenthood gave me a referral for breast imaging for a lump when my regular doctor wouldn’t.

One time when I was really poor and didn’t have health insurance, a PP nurse practitioner gave me antibiotics also appropriate for an upper respiratory infection when I originally went in for a UTI (I was really, really sick). They definitely saved me from having to go to the hospital pre-ACA and incurring impossible…

So being a rich and famous teen means you don’t get the protection and support you need from the adults around you. That means it’s okay for an older man to take advantage of you, because you are special and different. Nevermind that wealth, fame, and exposure do not make you inherently more mature or capable of…

What happened to Khloe? One moment she was saying that men who go after minors are disgusting, now she’s condoning her teenage sister going out with an older man because she’s a “special case”? Just because she’s a rich and famous teenager doesn’t mean she should be living her life like an adult. Amber was right. The…

I love the open chair at the end of the line. It’s silently implying so many things. Because you KNOW there are more out there. And more women that will be raped by others. It's almost an open invitation to other victims to feel like they could step up and join those women who were able to come forward.

My wife and I try hard to respect each others little pet peeves. It seems minor, but makes us so much happier. You have to be polite to each other. We always say please and thank you and treat each other with a lot of courtesy. It sometimes freaks people out. Numerous people have asked if we are always so nice to each…

No. The lid always goes down. There is a lid for a reason, and that reason is to contain microscopic bacteria that spew all over the place when you flush the toilet. That is the only correct answer.

Has anyone ever tried “text-based” therapy? Did it work well, or no? I’m considering trying it because I think I really need to do some introspection into relationships. Most seem to be priced around $25 a week and I was just wondering if it was worth the investment.

So, question for my fellow Jezzies. My sister is in what I can only describe as a horrible marriage. The hubs makes decisions (big, life-changing ones) without consulting her, then gets mad at her when they don’t work out like he thought. He moved her away from all her family and friends, tries to control all her…

My neighbors an elderly hoarder and after discovering a rat infestation in her house, she left her door open for the hot summer night and I saw rats crawling up her walls eating the frame of the house, I called social services. We live in a triplex so it’s a house split in 3, I’m in the middle. Girl in the first house…

I’m considering applying for a job as a prison librarian. Does anybody have insight/experience with prison libraries? Helping the incarcerated is appealing to me but I am a little worried that I’m not “tough” enough for that kind of work.

My kid’s bestie was planning to stay the night, but went home after starting her period. (We are neighbors, nbd) The girls are 8. Me and my kid have talked about it, I got her the American Girl body book, And her dr thinks it’s a ways off, BUT, I’m slightly freaking out, because all my internal girl parts were…

Just finished reading The Royal We. It’s basically Will & Kate fan fiction but it’s actually a well written page turner.

so, I got a lot of likes on this post: http://jezebel.com/alternatively-…. I don’t know what it says about me that I remember this, but i’ve been thinking about it a lot. I think the reason I felt that way, and still do, is that I cannot ever remember a time when I had any self-confidence about the way I look. I know…

I’m taking a read-eye to the east coast tonight. I love flying and I’m mostly looking forward to going, but. My spouse wears hijab and since converting, flying has been fucking awful. Nothing triggers PTSD fight-or-flight like “enhanced” patdowns.

Where do you guys see the feminist movement going from here. I guess i feel like the movement isnt Really movong foward. I feel like feminst spend too much time worry about famous people calling themselves feminsts, instead of worrying about people doing the work. If someone is doing the work and fighting for equality…
