Thank you for this. I’m not sure how I feel now but I know life is different than before I saw it. 

thank you! i do not know why we are both still gray and kinja doesn’t notify me of things! but i am happy for you as well, in the way that only someone who has been there can be.

respect. mad respect.

best. feeling. ever. amirite?

this is also me - should we start a club or something? - i stayed with mine for 15 years and kept lowering the standard of what i expected from him - ok, he’s not a romantic guy, i can live with that; ok, he’s not going to work; ok, we don’t parent the same; ok, he’s not considerate of me; ok, he doesn’t really even…

after i was raped at 14, i became promiscuous and actually sought risky sex often in public places with disposable partners. i ridiculed boys who objected, because wasn’t that every man’s dream? immediate sex with no strings, no attachments? i dissociated to make all these things happen, instead of drinking. for a…

re: international do pakistan, india, etc. count? because they could have their own file, methinks. india’s off to the races:

their wikipedia page includes a note that on may 1, they deleted their entire web presence, with the telegraph cited as the source. the header of the article notes that editing of it is locked until may 3. interesting... :-)

i know, right? i feel terrible for having done that to you, just now, and i’m so sorry. but here’s where i’m at right now: i’ve survived childhood abuse, domestic violence, rape, sexual assault, unplanned/unwed pregnancy (twice), a bitter, nasty divorce, and my own daughter’s sexual assault. at 40, i’ve found my soul…

i always put a lot of faith in animals, too, but now i realize it’s still just a product of faulty human training. here, have a big dose of horror with a side of WTF: http://www.policestateusa.com/2013/innocent-…

Topamax is the drug that has worked wonders for me. it has vastly improved the quality of my daily life and addressed symptoms i didn’t even realize were from migraine, like watery eyes and mental fog. i do have more vivid dreams than before, and occasionally tingling/burning feeling in my hands, feet, and the tip of…

ah ha ha. i see what you did there... ;-) (btw lovelove your name)

it also happens to significant others of musicians while watching them perform. other people get to dance together while my husband is on stage, and i have to sit alone, which is tough. so i text him naughty things until the show is over, and we have our fun after ;-)

thank you for saying that in public. i am glad to know i am not the only person this has happened to. as a side note, there is such a thing as a sex migraine. please don’t ask me how i know that because i won’t tell you.

ok, i don’t watch these videos anymore after the eric garner one, because i just can’t anymore. so, full disclosure, i haven’t seen either the dashcam video or the one from her cell. and based on what i’ve read, i’m pretty sure there’s a lot that is NOT COOL going on here, with this cop. i’m not sure what went on at…

based on my personal experience (unfortunately, i haz it) from a few years ago, there is a printout literally a half inch thick of infractions which can land him back in front of a judge who can then send him straight to jail - pretty much any law they break puts them in danger, is how the ADA comforted me with it. i…

It costs $10k-18k to divert a flight; when a passenger expires en route, it also causes irregular operations and invites unfavorable press, complaints, and lawsuits. Seriously ill passengers should travel with a letter of certification from their doctor. Having it in writing on letterhead is the best way to protect…

99% conviction rate?? for rapists? for serial rapists? for cases with video evidence? for everyone ever charged with any crime? i wish that were a bit more specific. if it's 99% conviction rate of all people for all crimes, what the fuck is wrong with japan? if it's 99% conviction rate for all rape cases, what the…

various abuses taught me early in life that my choices about what to do with my own body didn't really matter. i dissociated during sex and initiated it early, so i could at least have control of -when- it happened. i got married when i was only 21, and we had lots and lots of sex, because it really meant nothing to…

H-Town, too, please. (Not that it's said in Sonic Highways, but just in general it's stupid.)
