Are you goal oriented? I think I figured out that the reason that I’m frequently jealous of other people’s successes isn’t because I want to be pregnant, get married, write a book, etc., but because I envy their ability to set a goal and then achieve it. I own a house and I have a job. But I don’t really have any…

“You’re in a cult, call your dad.”
For the sake of convenience I’m just going to not refer to him at all for any reason whatsoever.
Sometimes I feel that Miley made some sort of Faustian bargain. You get to be rich and famous, but the “Achy Breaky Heart” guy is your dad.
Based on that pic I will refer to him as Clairol Shag Mullett and nothing else.
The fact that they can sit around and discuss how terrible Rob and Chyna’s relationship is (even though it is) really confuses me.
THIS. Literally all of this. Fuck, with the way I was bullied, rejected, called worthless and ugly, etc. at 13? I probably would have been honored to be victimized by some creep. I STILL MIGHT now at 17. I’d like to think I know better now, but if I could fall wildly in love with someone who showed mild interest in me…
Excuse me while I snort my birth control off my desk.
I guess its all relative. My mother has diligently preserved the family capital to pass on to the next generation. And she likes her children to know and appreciate this. Then, once in a while, she intersects a little tidbit into a conversation with us about how her dear friend Maude left all her money to the church…
I’ll go anywhere with Mike White leading.
Those who find it so urgent to yell, “Don’t forget this is a privilege!” strike me as people who first started seriously engaging with activism sometime between November 8 and January 21. And that’s fine, sort of, but you don’t get to shift the narrative of resistance and peddle ahistorical arguments because your…
I think this is great news. Oprah is good at finding the humanity in people and stories. I think she’ll do really well.
My halfway-to-70-and-I-never-miss-60-Minutes self is pleased with this development. And now I’m off to listen to that podcast.
Here’s the twist to Survior: Jezebel...when you are voted off the island you get a Pontiac Aztec and you are contractually obligated to drive it for 5 years. Aztecs and pt cruisers are the best warning system to the general public this person is not someone you want in your life. No one wants a pt cruiser. If you have…
Sebastopol was the worst though for this kind of shit.
But according to its founder, Isis Brantley, homegirl is a real deal advocate. “She is a supporter,” Brantley told the Cut.
Folks, in case the gore troll from last night shows up again, I tried to cover what options are available for dealing with that sort of thing here. If you weren’t sure how dismissing or flagging works, I went into those.
Hi all, hope you’re having a nice weekend so far. Warning: body-related rant.
I’ve been thinking about relationships and how many people move in and out of others’ lives lately. Friendships, lovers. You always say the same things: “I love you, you’re my soul mate, you’re my family” etc etc. Then poof. They’re gone. They leave you, find someone else, die. I sound really naive, but honestly, when…
