Good point. As someone who has always listened to indie and punk, Tidal never appealed to me because of what you said - does Taylor Swift really suffer from streaming? Does Beyonce suffer from not being on Spotify? I just couldn’t really care about their plight. If it were independent artists, I would probably feel…

I think he’s cute.

Thank you for writing this out. I’m so over these “my grandparents got married the day they met and they’ve been together 100 years.” Cool, great, good for them. First of all, I’d say that if they really are in a happy marriage, then its mostly just due to dumb luck. But mostly, in this case, Davidson has a…

Fair, but anecdotal experience is not data. Honestly, most of these quickie engagement success stories just boil down to sheer luck.

I...feel a lot lighter and carefree all of a sudden.

Trolling as in, its not as scary as everyone says?

I think you summed up a lot of it in your last paragraph. I just saw the movie this afternoon, and I’m in the camp of “it wasn’t that scary.” I wasn’t laughing, and it was definitely a creepy and unsettling movie, but I went in thinking that it would emotionally destroy me and I wouldn’t sleep for the next few days,…

This made me chuckle. I don’t know why but those little anecdotes are gettin’ real annoying...cool so your grandparents who were probably waiting to have sex until marriage and it was the 40s got married a few weeks in and then just put up with any possible red flags because divorce was frowned upon back then. Cool…

My biggest fear is that I would have only sons with no daughter, and I was thinking more along the lines of like two boys. This looks like pure nightmare to me.

Oh man, this resonates! I started dating someone who is extremely stable and reliable, and it feels good. Very comfortable and steady. Last night, I pulled out some old journals from my college years and I wrote extensively (cough, obsessively) about my boyfriend from that era...and it was pure chaos and insanity. It…

I was on the way to my students’ graduation (high school teacher) and I got a text from my mom just saying “Anthony Bourdain?! I can’t believe it!” and at first I thought “oh no, it must have come out that he’s sexually harassed women not him too” but then I googled and saw the terrible news. I am really shattered by…

As a native Floridian, I feel that I must read this book. Also, she’ll be speaking in my town on Monday, so this gave me the encouragement to go see her!

Hey! I’m 26, just a couple years older, but wanted to just chime in and tell you to hang in there, and that everything is going to work out. My early 20s were surprisingly difficult, and while I had some boyfriends, none of them were really serious material (never brought them to family gatherings, withheld details…

Insightful comment. Lately I’ve been thinking about this a lot, and I feel like the reason being single sucks is because society has made it suck. I told my mom the other day how conflicted I feel because on the one hand, I’m happy with my life and not super lonely, but on the other hand, I am CONSTANTLY inundated…

This is actually super insightful and as I was reading your comment I realized I totally am in the same boat! I started dating someone recently and its going in a serious relationship direction, but I was single for a while as everyone else paired off. But I was always extremely confident, financially independent, and…

I’m assuming children wouldn’t be watching The Deuce anyway. Are you lost?

I REMEMBER THAT.

Are we the same person? I love Gilmore Girls and I’ve been a hardcore Ty Segall fan since 2009. He’s an absolutely incredible musician, a rare talent. I HIGHLY recommend listening to Marc Maron’s WTF Podcast with Ty Segall. Maron totally nerds out over Ty and its glorious.

I wanted to be a music journalist, so I started off as a journalism major in college. I didn’t really like it so I switched to history during my Spring semester of freshmen year. A year later I decided to add an education minor and be a high school teacher. I am now a happy high school teacher. But I didn’t know for…

Because now that transgendered people are getting attention and people are starting to talk about gender being a construct we need to remind everyone that PENISES=BOY AND VAGINAS=GIRL AND THE WORLD WILL STOP TURNING IF WE DON’T FIT INSIDE THOSE BOXES.
