I have always wondered about the origin of the contempt that men have for women (over generalizing). I got no answers but I suspect it has something to do with women’s control over reproductive biology. Also, they want to find us completely contemptible in their big heads, but their little heads really, really want…

Off topic, but my little tiny pay it forward thing occurs only at Chipotle, because the one near my house has horrific lines and asshole (difficult and rude about it) customers, and the nicest employees. I keep track of how many minutes I wait in line and then tip them that many dollars. You people do gods work, and…

Do the things you do now that make you feel powerful. Rely on the routines you’ve established since him to bring you back to the present and the you who has moved on.

So, today I went outside without makeup for the first time in literally four years. It was just to get coffee and a bagel, but still. I’ve been on spironolactone for my hormonal acne for three months, and it is finally COMPLETELY GONE. I obviously have scarring that I am dealing with, but it’s slowly starting to fade…

As a hermit-level introvert, I have a mantra I keep repeating in my head during days of heavy social interaction: “fake it till you make it, fake it till you make it, fake it till you make it”. I know it’s lame, but it gives me the perspective that 1) sometimes I need to be sociable and people can’t really tell that…

I like to hide in a bathroom stall or step outside when i need a break from people. I pretend i have to make a phone call but then i just play games on my phones for like 5 minutes.

OMG, the Starbucks secret menu is the fucking worst.

If they’re posting it, it’s not actually a “secret menu.” That’s just an attempt by a restaurant to take advantage of this eyeroll-worthy trend.

Christ, that used to drive me insane. I haven’t worked there in years and I still curse whenever I see those articles pop-up. I mean, I’d happily (okay, grudgingly) put whatever flavor syrups you want in your frappicino, but you gotta tell me what they are.

YAY YES THANK YOU

Also, I should not type rants on my phone. Damn and smite.

A thousand times yes. Domestic violence plus guns equals a literal war on women.

She is so right. Guns in America are a women’s rights issue. I don’t know why we let men get away with turning our country into a real life kill-or-be-killed video game.

They do a pretty good episode about that in Modern Family- Gloria wants to hire a manny and what’s-his-name (her husband) gets really upset and threatened and doesn’t want to let her hire him.

Oh, hahaha, I just did some quick research. I could have SWORN I read about that not too long ago! SHE STILL WAS MARRIED TO GOD AND GAVE THAT UP FOR SOME COMMON HUMAN MAN. Maria Von Tramp™, am I right? Huh? HUH?

I purchased that TopShop bralette and I'm 5'5 on the petite side but the tall has the length of a long line bustier so it fits amazingly with high waisted anything. It's a thicker crepe fabric as well, nicely made with a heavy duty zipper. 5/5. Definitely recommend for $6 - I paid $15 from the last mark down. - I…

I am irrationally obsessed with that lamp....it’s like that Jordan Knight “Give It to You” song...the perfect blend of raunch and whimsy.

I feel compelled to share this bit of wisdom by David Foster Wallace everywhere I read anything about suicide in the hopes that it can help people - even one person - understand. (Kinja screwed up the formatting and won’t let me change it, but I feel like it’s kind of appropriate for the message.)

Agreed. Depression is an illness, and illnesses don’t discriminate for class, education, social success or beauty.

“Suicide is tragic enough, but it’s particularly bewildering when young people who appear to have it all take their own lives.”
