My boyfriend works in criminal justice and really doesn’t like all these new documentaries/docu-series that just relay murders and crime as they happened. He says he finds it unethical to use real crimes and murder cases as pure entertainment. He differentiates between the genre of true crime - for example, novels…

I am going to Paris in a couple of days for just under two weeks. This is my first time out of the country and I am so stressed and anxious I don’t even feel like going anymore. I only know the very basic greetings in French, I’m nervous about terrorist attacks, and the thought of just not being in America is really…

A printer/scanner. As a young adult I realized that I didn’t have easy access to a printer (like I did in college) and doing normal things were annoying without it. With a printer and scanner I’m able to take care of documents, tickets, passes, anything with ease. 

That is literally one of the dumbest things I have ever heard in my entire life. 

Phenomenal article that perfectly encapsulates my early 20s. I was so used to moving forward, succeeding, doing well, and progressing that when I graduated college and embarked on my first job search, it was downright soul crushing. For the first time in my life I felt like a genuine failure. I eventually got a job…

How do you sift flour? 

IIRC Jezebel did follow this story while it was unfolding. 

I too am getting really tired of the incessant “wine this and wine that” surrounding (mostly) white hetero womanhood. 

This isn’t usually my style, but I would honestly consider taking this to the press. 

I think this is a good example of how truly niche this show is, though. As someone who saw and loves Grey Gardens, Sandy Passage had me in stitches. I was hooked from that point forward. And sure, this makes me sound like an elitist, but I like that its so niche and specific. 

Kunuk Uncovered was side-splittingly hilarious...I think its time for a rewatch! 

This is how I feel when people say “ummm...you know its all fake, right?” about Bravo reality shows. Is it really so hard to believe that wealthy people who have no job, put all their validation into their physical appearance and/or fame, drink alcohol all the time, and voluntarily signed up to broadcast their life on…

I’ve been on the Pump Rules train for about two years now. I started watching when I was in the midst of graduate school, full time work, major questions about my life and where I wanted to take it, and intense social isolation and loneliness. No joke, binging Pump Rules by myself literally made me feel better and…

Yes, exactly! I internally eyeroll whenever someone starts off a story with “my boyfriend...” I guess it’s my single days kicking in, haha.

I thought Mercury was bisexual, but it was Mary that couldn’t really ever fully accept it.

I feel like a basic bitch when I say “my boyfriend” so I kind of just avoid talking about him overall. 

When I first started teaching, I had to tutor on the side to make enough money to support myself. It was a lot of work and a huge time commitment. I was always tired and stressed. Now, five years into my career, still teaching but at a better school with better pay, I don’t have to tutor in order to afford my…

I really dislike LVP. I think she has an outsized and undeserved ego. She is manipulative and pulling the puppet strings, and as far as I’m concerned all she did was marry a rich man and inherit a bunch of businesses via him. I HATE when she acts like she’s this hard-working run down business woman. 

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend remains the definitive anti-romcom romcom and always will be. 

I hope I never become a Boy Mom.
