Apparently, people have decided this news confers in them the magic wisdom and authority to become the marriage police, as well as free reign to be wildly homophobic! Wow! Very cool!

Please, oh wise one, enlighten your people with the gift of your list of legitimate reasons to divorce.

(I’m being facetious, your comment is dumb, and wtf does finding out marriage changes things have to do with being “self-centered”? So fucking judgmental.)

Although there is a lot to criticize Goopy on, her inability to remember who her coworkers are is less about her and more about how many Avengers movies there are. Seriously, there are so many comic book movies out there that they’re all running together, and the market is saturated*. I hope that bubble bursts before…

Well that’s close-minded! She was German-American, and it was (quite famously, mind you) pronounced “Mar-Lay-Nah,” crabby.

What’s Dietrich got to do with it? Marlene stayed married to her husband Rudi for 50 years, though after just two years,their relationship became more like brother and sister; she bought a California ranch for Rudi and his mistress (that word trivializes the woman who was really his 2nd wife) and she had a series of…

Given the life she’s led so far, and compared to her peers, she seems to have a good head on her shoulders and a strong sense of her identity.

Rock concerts in the center of Belgrade as NATO bombs fell. Wearing the ‘TARGET’ T-shirts. Buying the ‘Sorry we didn’t know it was invisible’ postcards after we downed the F-117. Reading propaganda fliers dropped by NATO. Watching the American Cultural Center being desecrated and graffitied. Playing Civilization II as…

1999? Mostly I remember watching the first two seasons of Sailor Moon, every day after school, broadcast on UPN.

Good joke as always, but seriously how is “dancing to Prince on New Year’s Eve” not the go-to answer? “Auld Lang Syne” didn’t stand a chance.

YALL. I took the Ohio bar exam this week. It was 100% one of the most exhausting things I’ve ever done but I did the damn thing. Likely gonna fail because I barely studied (have posted before about getting dumped by my partner and having to move out in June so it was a rough summer). But I did it, I have the…

Today is the 6th anniversary of the death of my dear first cat. Her brother passed away in February. I’m missing my babies extra hard today :-(

Don’t go on THIS trip. Express your concerns, but make it about you being uncomfortable with the idea. Tell them that you love the idea, but you’re just not ready, and that maybe they could plan a future trip, which would be shorter & closer to home, around your concerns. 

I don’t have kids, so I don’t know about the normalcy or whatever of leaving your child with your parents for that long, but I suspect the real issue is that you’re uncomfortable with this and your husband and in-laws seem not to be. I think you have to go with what makes you comfortable.

Oh wow, I was reading this assuming the kid would be coming too. To be honest, it’s totally up to you and anyone who tries to shit on you for it can take a seat.

Peri-menopause is fucking with me. No period for three months. Then the prom scene from Carrie for three days, then nothing, as if a tap was turned off

Hi Jezzies, I had a lovely gift this week. About 3 weeks ago on twitter Good Reads had a subject called name a book that’s helped you through a difficult time. I tweeted that when I was in the homeless hostel I used to escape to the library to reread all of John Connollys Charlie Parker series. I received a tweet off…

Robin McKinley is still one of my favorite authors, and I totally agree with your assessment. I think that where this article falls short is that all of this is from Beauty’s view of herself and her world (since the book is in the first person). She judges herself for not being beautiful, but there is no sign that her…

I love Beauty, but I think you are underselling both the Blue Sword and the Hero and the Crown. I have read those several times as adults and they cover the same themes of learning to be happy as you are, even if that is not what is expected of you. The Hero and the Crown in particular has a scene at the end where the…

I need some fashion advice, for I am not a stylish person. Last weekend I was at my mom’s house, helping her clean out and sort one of her closets. She found a skirt she wore in college in the 70s, and said I should try it on. It actually fit, and she said you should wear it! It’s kind of an odd length though, and I…

Spending another night alone with the cats. I moved to a new city 2 years ago and still don't really have friends here. Moving to a new city in my thirties was so much different than when I was in mytwenties; I didn't anticipate the difference. It's been very lonely; at the beginning I thought it would get better over…
