Totally agree on the “use accurate pictures of yourself.” Around this time last year I wanted to get on the dating apps, but felt like I wasn’t at my hottest and didn’t have good pictures. Eventually I just kind of thought “screw it” and made a profile with a handful of normal pictures of myself. I found that I got…

I think AOC is handling the GOP absolutely beautifully and I really hope she keeps it up. She claps back but doesn’t necessarily stoop and get nasty about it, she points out their own absurdity and then explains her ideas using facts and logic. She’s got a great attitude when it comes to responding to their attacks. 

I think I would have popped the f**k off. 

The dressing room at Ann Taylor at which a little boy crawled under the door.

I try very very VERY hard to be patient but the sound of children screaming is so aversive to my ears, it puts me in a dark place. I can’t handle it. I think its really cool that some places don’t allow children. I feel like the whole world caters to families, so its nice to have a place just for adults. 

!!!! I had a severe phobia of dogs when I was little (I grew out of it around 10, cynophobia, its a real thing!) and looking back, I was always so embarrassed about it. I remember feeling ashamed that my friends would have to put their dogs in a separate room when I went to visit. I would hate if there were photos of…

I just don’t go to these things. I’m on a budget and am very serious about what I spend. I get very anxious when I end up spending more on something that I already had a set amount planned for. I also never drink much and usually only order an entree, so I really don’t like paying a huge bill at the end when its all…

I remember my mom laughing at the “orthopedic” cat beds in Target. Of course, she bought two for the cat. 

My boyfriend taught me this and it has been a total gamechanger. I get TERRIBLE hangovers, and now if I drink a full glass of water before bed along with two advil, I feel okay the next day. Sometimes, if I really drank a lot, I’ll feel a bit out of it and dazed, but definitely able to function and not in pain. 

I am so excited to see the story behind the printed out iMessages. 

I’ve never understood why people stigmatize only children. I grew up with a pretty terrible older brother and I would have avoided a lot of emotional pain and physical pain if I had been an only. I’m still unsure if I want kids, but as of now I definitely don’t see myself having any more than one kid if I do decide to…

Same experience here. I’m 27 and every year the holidays get more stressful. I’m starting to understand weird family dynamics and tension a bit better, I’m more aware of sensitive issues involving family members, I feel like the family gatherings are getting bigger and less organized every year, the longer I live away…

I haven’t seen the movie, but as a straight woman with a bi boyfriend, that makes me so sad! I definitely know that it can be a little bit of a surprise at first, but I hope we continue to progress and evolve so that bi men don’t have to face so much biphobia and misunderstanding. 

I thought the movie would have been perfect, five stars, if it hand’t been for the convoluted local politics plot. Still loved it but wish the plot had been a bit more clear in that regard. 

I hate action movies, and so I only agreed to go see Widows because my boyfriend really wanted to see it and because we have AMC Stubs so we didn’t have to pay (monthly subscription). It barely had any action and I felt was mostly a character study. Tense, well-acted, sleek...I was riveted. Loved it. 

I cannot tell if you are being sarcastic or not. What I am saying is that only NOW have trans issues become specifically politicized, meaning in America it is now seen as a liberal/conservative issue, which is new. So now, bigots can use their conservative “belief system” as a crutch and as an excuse to be intolerant.

It is so important. I’m a high school teacher and when kids know which teachers are their allies, it can make a world of difference for their sense of safety at school. 

I made a comment similar to this in another thread. Trans people have been around forever. Sexually fluid people have been around forever. Playing with gender has been around forever. NONE OF THIS IS NEW. Its just now become hyper-politicized because of modern conservatism and culture wars propagated by our Fake…

I really encourage you to drop “Mrs.” and start with “Ms.” unless your child is told by the person to call her “Mrs.” “Ms.” is for both married and unmarried women, and as a teacher, I get really annoyed when my kids call me “Mrs.” knowing that I am unmarried and want to go by “Ms.” And plan on going by “Ms.” if I do…

What really gets me is that transgendered people are not new, people have been trans since the beginning of time. But now that everything is hyper politicized, we have intolerant people like this guy saying that it goes against his beliefs.
