right, so they just get murdered instead of tortured.  Yay, I guess

Meat may be murder, but down is torture. Imagine having all your hair pulled out, only to be stuffed back into a pen until it grows out again. Repeat until death.

Winnipeg?

Am I the only one who’s over those expensive (US$1,000+) Canada Goose jackets?  I see them everywhere.  Meanwhile a friend of mine is begging people through social media to donate sleeping bags so that homeless people in my city don’t freeze to death on the sidewalk.

Mean? You haven’t seen mean until you’ve been in a relationship with a borderline. Sorry. The *world* is cold and mean. I desperately wanted this not to be the hard truth, but it is. If you read the boards, every story is damn near identical. Partners try to be supportive, and sacrifice every piece of themselves, only…

Except that BPD often comes with abusive behavior. It’s very different from, say, depression or anxiety. It’s not a chemical imbalance. It’s who they are. It makes them hurt people, emotionally & physically. It’s fine to be sympathetic, because it’s an awful existence, but it’s also important to validate that…

I mean, this is fairly standard for Hollywood, women expected to put a ton of effort into their looks and the men can slide on buy because real genius can’t be stage-managed or some bullshit.

Ugh, like, why are we causing so much drama over this? That’s like, her most comfortable going out dress and she could toottttaaallly, like, run a marathon in those heels. This is why she hangs out with the boys. So. Much. Drama.

Right? I don’t know why Jezebel is going through the motions with this cool girls Olympics thing, because Jennifer Lawrence is like Michael Phelps in that regard. Bless her.

Birmingham swooping in for the save. I felt tears in my eyes when I saw it.

I voted for Jill Stein too and I’m glad I did. So many of my friends were willing to overlook her treatemnt of all the women Bill raped, it was so disgusting. So many women are willing overlook the suffering of other women if it’s inconvenient for them politically. It’s easy for them to point at Drumpf and say Look,…

He just called many of his accusers liars. In his goddamn resignation speech. The champion of women who just happened to harass 9 women. Try to keep up.

Not fucking touching women who DO NOT consent is “a moral ideal”? Man, fuck you. It gets you fired in any fucking job out there, including retail but we can’t possibly ask it of a goddamn US Senator? Fuck everyone with this hot take today.

We didn’t throw away the seat, though, as a Democrat will take his place, and quite frankly, it’s seriously debatable whether Franken could have defeated a Republican in the next election with this hanging over his head.

And what’s the point, James, of even acknowledging that? Because of course we are. We at least try, sometimes, even though other times we sure as heck don’t (we still haven’t had a reckoning in the Democratic party about Clinton, for instance). And that makes us the better side.

YOU ARE BRAVE. (And you too, OK to be C). Witness me, sisters: Your bravery has nothing to do with reporting your rape or not. Nothing. Don’t you let our messed up culture tell you that shit. You survived it. You kept going and you keep going now. You move in the world. What is braver? I can’t name anything.

It’s ok, you don’t have to say anything. It’s appalling that this happened to you, and other women. Are you ok now? Do you have a support network?

Thanks. I don’t really want to get more detailed for fear of doxxing myself but safe to say it was an awful experience. Was also denied a restraining order the first time. Had to go back and say i felt my children’s lives where in danger to get it. Spoke to a few female friends who dealt with the Nypd for similar…

OK, maybe some of my New York-based Jezzies can suss this one out. I have been approached MULTIPLE TIMES near Lord & Taylor/NYPL by normal looking gals in their 20s who seem like they’re about to ask for directions and then ask me, “Have you heard of the female image of God?” and then I get weird, yell something about…

I read this today and thought it was very enlightening, and why sex addiction is a bullshit excuse in this case and Anthony Weiner’s case.
