It’s less about obligation and more about self preservation. We know those guys will attack us if we reject them the wrong way. This total shit adage about “hell hath no fury” should be about a man rejected, because they’re the ones creating hell on earth.

I hope that this poor girl gets the professional and personal support necessary so that she does not drown in guilt. Because, of course, it is always women’s job to rescue these poor lonely men before they turn bad. You see, they all start out as great guys, but the cold heartless bitches of the world—the ones who…

Indians, horses, and dogs. The three things that are categorized by blood quantum in the US. I’m half Indigenous, with the half coming from two tribes that are referred to as sister tribes. The two tribes speak the same language, have the same traditional foods and dress, we harvest the same wild foods, and our…

Quyanaqpuk for this essay!

I don’t have any hard and set rules, but I do love buying an ornament as a souvenir whenever I travel. When I decorate the tree it brings back a lot of nice memories of fun times past :).

I was thinking about Spy while reading this article! SO great.

Melissa McCarthy in Spy remains my gold standard for fat protagonists.  I also have a big soft spot in my heart for Archer’s Pam (although I could do without all the overeating gags).

Going back even further, Livejournal served the same purpose.

Poor Pete. Social media can be a disaster. Even on this site I have commented and been slapped in the face y another poster. Something like “you should just kill yourself”. It stung for a second, I can’t imagine what it would be like if it was hundreds of people a day, every day.

Mini Pie asked for a Hatchimal last year and my reply was something like “lol NO that’s $65. Never going to happen.”

whats with all the gross AF games out featuring every bodily function. there’s Pimple Pete, a game where you pop pete’s pimples. Theres a snot one, a dog poop one. its so disgusting and obviously my kids think it’s hilarious.

We should have just kept everything. I've seen those ugly platform slide sandals going for $80 on fashion sites :\

I know this is a corny ass comment but for my tree in my home i like the ornaments we’ve collected over the years, the tacky ornaments the kids made at school, and a few simple strands of white lights. I don’t need my tree to have a “theme” or look like a holiday display in the lobby of Macy’s.

THIS. They’re nerdy musical theater kids who MADE IT doing music. They’re campy and glammed up and over-the-top because they’re MUSICAL THEATER NERDS! What do they have to be embarrassed of?!

I used to work in a psychology department at a university and back in the day, the head of school used to give nearly everyone in the department a fresh goose for xmas dinner. Why did he have so many geese? He purposely selected geese for his animal studies so he could gift their carcasses when the study was over. 

It was because of stuff that happened at the party, although that also means that most of the people participating in that meeting were tipsy to hammered including the bosses.

Ok, so this is just a weird story, and it’s funny now, but at the time (5years ago?)it was all kinds of wtf. My husband works in logistics and runs a huge warehouse full of fancy electronics. Contracts with the armed forces, schools, etc. They throw an annual holiday party, and go heavy on the drinks- open bar. I…

A colleague died at our holiday party. Major coronary on the dance floor. 

Sure, we could just.... not do it.

My department (like most, at my company) doesn’t even have an admin asst. They’re only for VPs or up. So a bunch of us regular people are getting stuck with this, too. Sure, we could just.... not do it. But it isn’t even about holiday parties. It’s the same women making coffee every morning or loading copy paper.
