The fuck is wrong with people? It’s not enough that we are routinely accused of lying and trying to ruin dudes’ lives, our trauma is also openly mocked. So way to go, world, we get it. You hate us.

Others replied that I was being a dick for not thinking it was funny.

Nicki Minaj is only wrong about one thing. It isn’t this generation.

It’s really annoying when you point out something is offensive and people get all defensive and say the world is getting too PC and you need to get a sense of humor. In what world is rape funny? I can’t find one single aspect of rape humourous. People suck.

Someone posted this damn picture to fb a few days ago. I made a comment about how moronic it was (I think I said something about how the only thing worse would be a Sexy Jared Fogel costume). Others replied that I was being a dick for not thinking it was funny.

A rape costume will never be funny or acceptable, so I’m leaving that alone here. That said:

You know, there are a lot of people who really look forward to this every year, myself included. I can’t speak for all of them, but I’d really rather you put your creative writing assignment somewhere else.

Also, electroshock therapy isn’t primitive. The fact that so many people don’t know ECT is still used today is a…

My car snaked up a jagged road until an impressive Greek revival building with fading whitewash came into view.

Yes, it did and my dad left the monetary arrangements for him to be buried - cash, atm, banking info with his longtime partner, the ex-wife blows in like the wind, with the kids they had together (7 of them, all adults) and terrorizes this woman, who, her dad just died 2 weeks prior, at the time of her dad’s death, my…

I’m SUPER sure it was just some misogynist 19 year old dickhead kids who saw a single young woman get into her car at the nearby shopping centre and tail me for kicks, cos obviously i’m none the worse for wear... but when i turned that corner to the cul de sac, I was seriously ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME and looking…

Bobby Jindal could find a way to take services away from ghosts.

I don’t want to unsettle you, but, you have more than one spirit. There are clearly four in that photo. Possibly five. I did not fuck with the actual images at all, I simply added more light to the strange area. Do you still live there? I am a medium. Oh, and free if you need me.

Poor Uncle Bennett.

A dear friend died of natural causes a few years ago, leaving behind three daughters. The middle daughter started using her mom's phone since she didn't have one, and on her birthday she got a voicemail that was just the sound of a party - talking, laughing, glasses clinking, but only women's voices. She's convinced…

OH MY GOD. THIS ONE IS A WINNER FOR SURE.

I used to work in a French Quarter house museum, and had a similar thing happen. I was working a party where we were all stationed in different rooms of the house and people came through in waves. I was in the dining room that had a door that opened onto the scullery and hall into the kitchen. I was keeping the door…

I have been there! Only for about ten minutes, because I felt super uncomfortable. I wasn’t afraid, but I was pretty sure that someone was watching me with disapproval. All of a sudden I got a very clear thought in my head that I should not “call” on people when “inappropriately shod.” (It had rained that day and I…

I was scared until I got to the part about a basement in Louisiana. Pffft....

I have a very gentle ghost story. I volunteer at the Merchant’s House Museum in the East Village. It’s known as the most haunted house in NYC and weird things happen there all the time. I truly adore the other volunteers and the museum itself—it’s the city’s only original brownstone and has all of the contents of the…

The only spooky knocking is from our 1920s radiators as they turn on. And the only scaredy cat that the radiators terrify is our actual cat.
