Exactly! I do not have any paid leave, 0 days, 0. But I make good money and my in-las and mom will move closer to where we live to help when I have kids. I am saving to afford the 12 unpaid weeks (I should not have to but thanks America). But I can save. Lower wage women can't save and they may not have the benefit of…

Working class always gets. im seriously ready for some french revolution in my life

This. What are the demographics of each unit? White supremacy is an insidious motherfucker.

Ever since I got engaged, and now that I’m married, I feel super awkward when someone flirts with me. It’s really weird to me. I used to love getting my flirt on with randos. Last year my local fish monger stopped me and was flirting, it made me feel so weird. I told my single friend and she scolded me. She said…

it’s not just you. as an autistic woman i can relate to this on a couple of different levels. i feel you, girl.

She would like it to be her friend, but it keeps making strange noises!

Wow in love? I have no idea if anyone’s every been in love with me... god that’s pathetic to write. At least you know now? You do not deserve to die alone!

Definitely not the only one. I’m so weird and uptight the only time I know I’m being flirted is after we’ve walked away and the person I’m with says, “they were flirting with you!” and I’m like “huh?”.

This is perfection.

Be there. Do not let her abuser isolate her. She may try to leave, and end up going back, even a few times. You may be very frustrated, and want to just cut her loose. Don’t.

Today’s was “Serenity Now... Insanity later!” in Vivaldi font taped to our side of a showcase. She kept running her hand over it every time she walked by.

I wish I had you on speed dial for when I need a good, jolting guffaw.

Aw Yiss, mothafuckin Tina Turner, the original Private Dancer

I have no idea what this means but it makes me happy and reminds me of the Laura Marling song Little Love Caster- “I’m no one’s tiny dancer.”

When I worked at the domestic violence crisis line, we talked to people in all different stags of DV relationships - not just those ready to leave - maybe a hotline would help her? Normalize/validate her feelings as much as you can - let her know you don’t think she deserves those things. Sometimes just hearing that…

I’d say reach out to her as best as you can. I, personally would take her somewhere private and discuss. I remember I invited one out for dinner to talk about this, and also as a chance to get away for a bit, and to see if my suspicions were confirmed. I do recommend that if she really needs help, get the Hotline…

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL?

My boss literally did a spit take when she read yesterday’s sign.
