Lifelong integrity in the fight is something important Bern has over Warren. It’s hard to trust politicians, so it’s hard for many to get behind someone who changed her views sooooo drastically

YES

 She didn't credit him... she said he was fighting for single payer while she was on chip

Thank you so much, Ashley. I had nearly written off Jezebel in providing decent election coverage, but this is bringing me back in.  Keep it up.

I don't think he's ever single ?

ha this is also my take

well I prefer money going to makeup than gun lobbying and propaganda, I guess

Meh. Let’s not praise people for doing the bare minimum.

isn’t that book called Full Surrogacy Now?

I always feel thongs and I don’t like that.

“Does that mean we should stop pursuing relationships or families, and instead check on all of our married girlfriends, to see if they’re okay? Of course not—and any single, childless woman who wants desperately not to be either knows that wishing and hoping can get pretty stressful, too. But what Dolan is suggesting…

It’s awful how much romantic love, marriage and kids are heralded over any other type of lifestyle or family formation. I want kids but I find romantic connections to be so... fragile. Like I can be in complete love and then 6 months later it’s meh. And yet my friendships are strong AF and don’t waver. So I’m…

Exactly. I think people who like the attention can’t imagine not liking it, but I really dislike the feeling. I’ve had birthdays celebrations because friends pressured me into it and I’ve never felt comfortable. Agreed on the big wedding thing. That’s a nope from me, dawg.

Yes I can see how it’s nice when it’s your birthday ... I just don’t (always) like going to them. This month I’m just tired because I have 3 parties to go to and I’m old and tired.

Yes, but we do need people to say the term to make it more common. I suppose you could say “platonic partner” or “platonic wife” haha. Some people use QPP, but yeah... not a lot of people know it so it usually has to be accompanied by “a friend but also life partner”.

Countercounterpoint: Do all of your friends want to hang out with people they don’t know and barely get to talk to you? (I suppose it depends how your friend circles work, but I have scattered friends in a big city)

I am honestly really surprised/confused that people think not celebrating a birthday well into adulthood is weird/handwringy! It’s fine. It’s normal. A lot of people don’t like being the center of attention. We aren’t sitting at home sad.

Let him have a birthday by himself. It’s what he wants. It’s not really “fucking depressing”.

there’s quasi-platonic partnership ?
