I want this!

Yeah, my parents grew up dirt poor in Eastern Europe (where everyone was poor and communism=no designer brand shit) and worked their asses off to emigrate to the west. By the time I was in middle school, they could afford to send me to a private school and, even though we sure as hell weren’t poor anymore, we were…

Probably Indiana, as they put a woman in prison for miscarrying. Don't be pregnant in Indiana either.

i know! This is one thing I love ever since I first came to New York. I mean, smiling and saying hi to everyone is all well and good (but kind of weird I think) but what good is that if people don't help you out. I found the same thing in Paris... Arrived during a strike and had a tiny old woman yell at a giant dude…

I didn't tell anyone and I was in denial for many years until I finally told my best friend about the first time. The second time, I told a few friends months after it happened. I never reported either instance. Seven of my friends have been raped (that I know of) and a few more sexually assaulted (but not raped).…

This is the best thing!!! Omg i love this!!! Thankyou

Not vaccinating against HPV really infuriates me! Ive had the beginnings of cervical cancer a few yrs back. Luckily, it was caught before i needed serious surgery and a simple biopsy got it all. I know the HPV vaccine doesn't work against all variations of HPV but why wouldn't you want to lessen your risk??? I've…

in Nyc, it's totally free. When I started college here, I needed to get an MMR booster as my bloodwork showed I was no longer immune. Even as an international student, I wasn't asked for any insurance paperwork, just my student id. A lot of schools also offer free immunization programs so there's really no financial…

word!!! Me too!

from my experience men VERY MUCH DO make passes at girls who wear glasses! I get ALL THE NUMBERS AND FREE DRINKS when I wear my glasses! So, yes, you're right, fuck that noise.

I love my eyeglasses! In the cold, windy NYC winter, they keep my eyeballs from freezing AND I just got brand new ones from Warby Parker and wore them out to a bar with some friends last night. Well, they were a big hit! Who says you cannot be sexy with glasses??? A friend of mine said I look like a "sexy teacher of…

it's a tie between the finance bro who still lived with his parents and so we went to a by-the-hour hotel on St Marks Pl. He was too chubby for me to be on top, so we had some logistical problems. He then tried to give me money for a cab home but I refused to take it. A few years later, he tried to get back in…

That gif is mesmerizing.

There is actually quite a large community of Australian expats living in NY and CA mainly because our governments have a visa reciprocity agreement, making it easier for Americans to get Australian visas and we are eligible for a much easier work visa to the U.S. I've been living here for so long that I have lost my…

I know it's helping me too... I've only had the guts to talk about my rape to one of my best friends and strangers on the internet, but hearing these stories are making me feel stronger and helping me heal. I'm glad you're doing better.

Unfortunately, that is the problem in my social circle too... more women have been sexually assaulted then not. But I've noticed that many of them have opened up about their assaults in the last year... this might be because I became closer to them in the last year, or it might have something to do with the greater…

I didn't know I was pregnant is so bad but I can't stop watching! I might watch some tonight! Anyway, my friends dad is a gastroenterologist and some girl came to him with some mystery abdominal pain and then oops he delivered a baby... So it does happen which makes it all the more terrible and terrifying.

my thoughts exactly... Which is why I wanna turn it into a book! And then maybe it can become a movie... Do you know people who can make it into a movie?

I don't want to give away my historical discovery which will obv. becomes best seller and make me exceedingly wealthy! But for you, I will.

"Spain and it's world" by John Elliot is a good one :) John Elliot is THE guy (Empires of the Atlantic World is a good one too). Jonathan Brown at NYU's IFA focuses on the art of Habsburg Spain.
