She’s right. I watch Friends every day, just about - I turn it on before bed as kind of a comforting background noise. Over the years I’ve realized that they are all insufferable, with Chandler and Rachel being the least insufferable of them all, but still pretty damn bad. They also became caricatures of themselves as…

I get it, because I too have crippling anxiety. But I can tell you, as a person with anxiety, that having this done to you makes you feel so horrible - you can’t stop focusing on what you did, how you can fix it, why is this happening. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

I talked about this in the last article, but I had a friend do this to me. We hung out, I gave her some clothes, we made plans to see each other next week, and then BAM, no contact. For over three years. I texted and emailed and called her a few times over the span of a couple of weeks before I realized what she was…

The Wakefields was my favorite...the genealogy one.

Margot!

Why not both?

Nope.

When I lived in NZ everyone said it all the time, usually as a term of endearment. So when my friends get all ragey over it I’m just kind of like, “meh”. I’m not saying I want to be called that, especially not by a guy - I’ll kick him in the danglies real quick - but I don’t find it personally offensive at all. I…

I’m irritated by this. I’m a genealogist and I live for Finding your Roots and Who Do You Think You Are? (the latter of which has been suffering since it moved to TLC, big surprise). Finding Your Roots is by far the best.

I kind of figured we’d see a huge surge in them now.

Well, I AM a writer...

I kind of figured it was me, that I’d done something (another close friend of mine is currently starting to “ghost” me, unfortunately) but after reading this, apparently it’s a thing. With a common time period and everything.

And also misspelled the name for half of the article.

I was ghosted by my former bestie - she kind of started fading out, not wanting to talk as much then just cut me off and never replied to anything ever again. She didn’t speak to me for three and a half years and then one day out of the blue started going on a “like” spree on my FB. I straight up asked her why she’d…

I’ve never had a boyfriend do it, but I’ve had more than one friend do it and it is the most evil thing you can imagine.

I ship Stewart with the fire of a million suns, but it was Wilmore’s rage and frustration that got me teary eyed when I watched this morning, more-so than Jon’s speech.

Rachel Maddow, while not a comedian, is one of the very FEW people that I feel like I can “trust”, meaning she acts as a balm and a touchstone when things like this happen. Larry Wilmore, I feel, could become that, too, if given a chance. But damn, I’m going to be gutted when we lose Stewart. I do understand why he…

Georgia dweller here. God, I was so glad when they finally changed that. It was so godawful and they dragged their heels for way too long.

Apparently there is another guy in the same town with a similar name who is already getting harassed all over the place on social media, so folks need to be careful.

I’m not very well versed in white supremacist language/names but a friend of mine said it’s a nod to the KKK?
