The moon is in a moon phase

But... uh... that’s actually not how alot of animals work. :/

Funny, I’m really interested in moving south from liberal metropolis Portland, mostly due to how tired I’ve gotten of the bullshit spewing here. Something seems a little easier about facing up to people I just plainly disagree with, than the crowds of “I know what’s best for you" hipsters here who bemoan…

Hey I’m seriously considering a grad program in NC. It’s a beautiful state (and I really want to hike the Appalachian trail) and I’ve met great people from there, but also- ugh.

It’s definitely a matter of how you move. I come to NYC fairly regularly to see family so I can’t claim to know what I’m doing all the time, but I sure can spot the tourist who is going to get bombarded by the hustlers- moving like a snail, looking around all glossy eyed and confused. If you keep up in foot traffic…

Born and raised in Portland and desperately trying to get out. My parents recently sold the house I grew up in (we were fairly low income, lived in a big old drafty craftsman house in a mixed racial neighborhood which had some crime but was mostly amazing and full of kids) for an insane amount of money to a pair of…

Ugh these stories. I’ve suspected it twice myself, too. Once in a club in Japan when I was with a group of girlfriends thankfully who looked after me as I completely fell apart into a delirious mess. The other time I was on a third date with a guy I was feeling luke warm about. I started feeling really off and…

I feel like my “I don’t believe it! “ was waisted on the his bringing up his dick in a debate. This is really going downhill fast.

I’ve got something I’m irritated by I’d be up to get some opinions on. I live in a state where someone else has to pump my gas and over the last few months I’ve been really put off by the guy working at my near by station. It sucks because it is the closest and cheapest gas station (and in my budget that matters) but…

I have a good friend who is a conservative Christian and she is so upset. She’s a good person and we do a good job of generally avoiding politics, she was holding out for Carson with the “at least he had good values” argument, but even she hates all the Republican front runners at this point.

I nannied all through undergrad and part time in grad school. I learned early on not to work for the rich. I’d rather work a couple part time jobs throughout the week for chill families. Middle/upper middle class people pay what I need to live on, and are way more sane. What the nanny did (if true) was inappropriate…

I, while old and uncool, actually think this is really adorable. Teens messing around/teasing while being nice and having everyone enjoy themselves is a nice thing to see get a little Internet popularity. I’ve worked with teens and they are weird as Fuck, so while I don’t GET this, I do sort of appreciate it and think…

Oh right, if only we have him everything he wanted in life he wouldn’t have had to forcibly take advantage of women. The entitlement is never ending with some folks. Cry me a river.

I noticed this conspiracy theory in the content section of news articles right away when the news broke off his death, so I figured it was just a matter of time.

Yep. And much of our other conversation was his bemoaning his dating trouble and how it must be so much easier for me. I so badly wanted to set him straight, but I didn’t precisely out of fear/discomfort essentially because of what happened to this young lady.

I met an extreme “nice guy” for the first time recently and it was easily one of the most stressful interactions of my life. I’ve dealt with bits here and they’re but when dudes take it to an extreme that entitlement gets scary quick.

I’m busy in life right now and not only am I actively not dating, I’m actively not making eye contact with strangers. I like men, I’ve dated some good men, but right now I don’t have the time, and I like being not murdered.

Got it two months back. Getting it placed sucked ass, really painful for me but I’ve got tender bits and I’ve had friends say or didn’t hurt them as much. Aside from a day of cramps and an uncomfortable period following is been completely fine for me. It’s nice not worrying about a pill. Biggest con is there has been…

Yeeeah, how bout nope. What about women who cannot handle hormonal birth control? These insane “risk” suggestions get thrown at women all the time, it is exhausting.

This totally caused one of those light bulb moments for me in reference to an semi recent ex. Any time we’d try to discuss things he’d pull the “we both made mistakes” crap, sure but my mistakes were things like raising my voice, and his were using my money to pay his rent and then refusing to pay me back, or sticking…
