Even though neither of us would have been able to support a child anyway, my ex was really great about bringing me anything I wanted when I was laid up miscarrying. So much Taco Bell.

I had a miscarriage and that’s about how it went down for me, too. I would have opted for abortion, but it took care of itself. Me and my then-boyfriend didn’t bang for like two weeks, I bled a lot and got several days off work (it had started at work) so I just borrowed a bunch of my roommate’s pads and would hang…

I want to be a professional hand holder

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — most of the cases of people feeling regret and loss after an abortion are cases where the patient didn’t want the abortion, and was either forced or coerced by other people into getting it. I grew up in AL, church city, and for a long time I thought it was just a given that…

Nice to see you’ve joined us, Magda! News flash, this writer doesn’t owe you shit or shinola about the personal details about her time there, yet she wrote about them anyway — she was in the process of getting her citizenship. Also, I’ve never heard of someone “getting what they deserved” for being naive by working…

I agree — I did miss the point because the comparison didn’t make sense, but I also agree that when you’re tipping like 50% or more on the reg, you know something’s up. Well, most people would know but try to cover up that knowledge by tipping more.

My friend screenshotted a tinder conversation last night. Girl asks him why he’s up so late. His response? “RABIES”

This entire story is a bit grim, but it’s so bad it’s hilarious.

I decided on a whim, during a bout of post-moving depression, to take myself downtown to one of the nice spas and spring for a pedicure. Most pathetic pedi ever. The guy was texting when his hands weren’t on my feet, and apparently losing contact with your client like that is a big no-no and I kinda see why, and was…

Dude, I loved Julep polish until the time came to remove it. I’ve never had a polish leave such permanent stains. I mean, that mani lasted over a week which is a miracle for me, but spending a month growing out gross looking orangey nails is not worth it.

.....doctors and lawyers go through years of professional school, and are not a marginalized and oppressed group unless you count the sentiments of student loan offices. one of the core issues here is that these women working in nail salons are VERY oppressed both by their “employers” and the system at large. I just…

hueuhuheuhueuhe

I don’t really understand why people need someone else to do all this for them.....just one woman’s opinion. The times I’ve had a mani or pedi aside from going to a nails-only salon in 8th grade, it’s been subpar to what I can do myself. Practice makes perfect and saves money.

I haven’t been to a nail salon since right before my first 8th grade dance where I got hideously wonderful UV-flourescent level acrylics. But I still wonder if you would get kicked out if you handed them an immigration lawyer’s card who had an interest in pursuing these cases pro bono along with the tip, kind of on…

IMO that’s just human nature. We immediately assess what a situation has to do with ourselves without thinking about it. But there’s a big difference between thinking “yes, I get my nails done, am I a part of the problem?” and whining about how white people can’t have ONE THING (?????) (white people have all the…

mine is regular velvet and satin but it does have an effect on people

I can get the 90 day but I’m not sure if it’s because of the schedule or if my doctor filed me as a special case due to how far away I live from his office. I know I started getting them 90 days at a time for my first trip abroad and we just never changed it; I also don’t have insurance, but diazepam (Valium) is…

Stealing jokes is some bullshit, like shoplifting from Macy’s, but stealing a bad joke is something else entirely, like shoplifting from Ray Ray’s Discount Clothes Bucket.

It is, sometimes I feel like they just scoop what’s available that fits their brand, because not everything they sell is by Torrid. Their 1,2,3,4 sizing is pretty standard, but beware the numbers. Go up a size, two if you have a big ass or chest.

Torrid still jumps between US and UK sizing. it’s a problem and they refuse to hear criticism of it.
