I don't have it in digital format but if I did I would happily submit a truly adorable photograph of me, aged five, wearing the Ghostbusters jumpsuit, armband, and proton pack that was my Halloween costume/daily wear until I grew out of it. I still have the little plastic proton pack and PKE meter. Tiny chick me was…

I fortunately was not in a sorority in college, but two of my best friends were. It seemed like such a constant source of stress for them. We went to a small private school where Greek life was only a moderately big deal, and because of some weird zoning laws, they weren't even allowed to have their own houses. All…

My parents are both technically boomers, but my dad was born in 1950 and my mom in 1961. I think there's a big, big difference between boomers who experienced the 60s and those who didn't. My dad was a pot-smoking hippie in his day, and although he'll never win any father of the year awards, he never lost that streak…

Ahahaha are you my sister? Cause that's my mom, too. The denying of bad things that happened and the refusal to accept any responsibility for anything negative and the accusations that I've been brainwashed by my father and my other relatives, on and on, forever. My mother has severe mental health issues that she has…

I can actually totally see how it could happen. Pretty much all brownie mixes require you to add oil. Dye-free, fragrance-free laundry detergent is the same color and consistency as vegetable oil. You're doing laundry and baking brownies at the same time. You use a measuring cup to measure out your laundry detergent,…

Oh, that's not the worst. A cafe where I used to work, where several of my friends are still working, was shut down by the owner the day after Christmas. No warning, nothing. The employees, some of whom had been working there for years, were given one day's notice. The reason? Not some sort of financial catastrophe,…

Fucking hell, I've eaten Chinese in Ohio on no less than five occasions since last summer.

I definitely fall into this category. All the sex I've had since I was 17 (I'm 30 now) and I've never been able to orgasm with a guy. Not from fingering, not from oral, not from fucking, it just doesn't happen. I think it's important to note that it isn't that we sad freaks don't ENJOY sex; I do, very much. It's…

Cento actually carries San Marzano tomatoes. It's a kind of tomato, not a brand. I get them at Publix, but they're always hidden way down on the bottom shelf.

Eggnog is such a paradox. The flavor of eggnog is a good flavor; creamy, sweet, rich, goes well with a fuckton of rum or even whiskey! However, actual eggnog, what eggnog actually IS, what it is constructed out of, is fucking disgusting. IT HAS EGG IN IT, FOR CHRISSAKE.

It's no mystery. It's just that Taco Bell is delicious. McDonald's isn't delicious. McDonald's SMELLS delicious, but actually tastes like garbage. Taco Bell DELIVERS. It delivers those strange, spicy, cheesy, Mexican-adjacent flavors that you just weirdly crave even though you don't otherwise eat any fast food and you…

The guy I lost my virginity to, my first serious boyfriend, is now a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard. He's also totally ripped. And married. To the girl he dated after me.

I broke up with the guy shortly afterwards. He wasn't a bad guy, but I knew there's no way we had a future considering what his family was like. I didn't go back to that restaurant for years afterwards, I was too embarrassed and afraid the waiter would remember me. He's still working there, actually, he waited on me…

Oh god, that story at the Japanese restaurant….oh god. I had a really similar experience at a Chinese restaurant once. It was my then-boyfriend's birthday, and his parents wanted to take us out to dinner. They let him pick the place, and he decided on this semi-upscale locally famous Chinese restaurant. This place has…

My mother's boyfriend is an MRA. He was always one of those 'man's-man' types, but in the last ten years or so he's really deteriorated into a straight-up unapologetic misogynist. He's also horrible to my mom, but they've been together for 25 years and she's totally financially dependent on him. He's a shitty,…

I think a lot of women don't realize that you can? My midwife is a one-stop shop; she delivered my son and now does all my gyno care, and she's fucking awesome.

I want to star this infinity million times. SO OFTEN the vag problems are being caused by dirty dicks. The only time I've had trouble with recurring (and I mean CONSTANT) UTIs and BV was when I was dating this one guy with….questionable hygiene. I dumped him after a few months and LIKE MAGIC, my stuff went back to…

Fuck's sake, thank you. Japandroids, White Denim, I could go on and on. She's trying so fucking hard to downplay Grohl's musical talent and the influence his bands have had on rock.

I'm sorry, but this shit is just so utterly tiresome. Dave Grohl's lack of women in his documentary is erasing women in music? Are you fucking for real here? It's not a 'ridiculous oversight'. Not every single thing made about rock music has to include every single artist, ever. He's not making a documentary about…

This a hundred million times!! SO MANY PEOPLE here don't know this! It's also actually ILLEGAL in many states for CNMs to attend home births.
