Oh hi, I see you’ve met my inner child who is waiting for her father to be less of a dumb fucking baby that enables abusers.

This song is my summer jam! I wish I’d had it when I was younger and felt worse about my body.

What an incompetent fuckwad. You deserve better care.

Witches? IDK, even when I was in college and at my lowest adult weight, I had thighs that rubbed together. Body Glide, though, is bae. It allows crazy people to go on long runs (ON PURPOSE) and lets me live my life in summer.

Also: ice cream sandwiches! They are a classic for a reason.

I can never get those to break evenly!

THANK YOU. Cotton candy is trash and everyone should know this.

This looks ridiculous and dumb. I CANNOT WAIT!

I’ve written 11 pages. I only need to discuss my four major scholars (1.5 pages each, 6 pages total), areas for further study (2 pages), and a conclusion (1 page), plus my bibliography, which already exists because Zotero is bae. I am SO CLOSE, I can taste it. I just need to leave my house tomorrow morning and grind…

Oh, he wasn’t particularly skinny—he’d been fat as a kid and teen, lost the weight, still had a fuckton of emotional bullshit around that he never dealt with like a real adult. Add in garden-variety straight male misogyny and entitlement, and you get...this guy. I have spent far too much time in therapy to carry his…

That is a really helpful set of suggestions, thanks! How did your other half get a card like that?

The other kind, unfortunately. It is...no fun.

I’m so glad that worked for you! Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure that CBD would end up running afoul of my clearance requirements (gov’t job), but this is one more in a long list of reasons I think legalization needs to happen at the federal level.

Thank you so much for the response! Right now, my only real methods were peppermint oil capsules and always having a stash of Immodium in my purse. I think I’ll give myself a little time before trying an elimination diet, since I’d need to research how to actually do one, but this really helps. My PCP wasn’t too…

Oh, thanks for the recommendation!

Ew, what a total garbage monster. No one deserves that bullshit.

Once it’s Tuesday night, everything has to be turned in, so I’m just holding on to that knowledge. Also, I’m nearly on page 10 of the paper, so it should be done by Monday night. Then I can go to my favorite bar and get irresponsible with some of my besties. I just need to stick to my writing schedule.

Evening, all! Hope everyone’s week is going well. My question tonight has to do with IBS: for those of you who have it (or other intestinal No Fun Times), how do you handle it? And how did you figure out what things caused flare ups for you? I tried to go to a coffeeshop on Friday to work on a paper, but once I left…

CONGRATULATIONS! That is seriously amazing, and you should be so proud of yourself. My achievement for this week is writing a piece for money! My alma mater’s alumni magazine hired me (!) to write a short essay about my study abroad experience for a retrospective issue they’re publishing in the fall. It’s a lot of…

SQUEE! What a cutie pie.
