Kubrick abused her to no end on the set of The Shining and would not allow anyone to comfort her. He did this as a twisted directorial technique.
I really wish that Oprah had never brought Dr.’s Phil & Oz out of the grays.
I clean my prep dishes and such after putting everything on the stove. My girlfriend only then has to wash the pot/pan/whatever and tableware, which works out fine.
“If you know that someone else is handling the dishes, you’re less motivated to clean as you go and use as few dishes as possible.”
I vividly remember an incident that happened over 20 years ago, when I was in my early twenties. I was sitting in a train, on my way to Christmas dinner, in a nice velvet dress, and a guy with very bad skin sat next to me. I felt super uncomfortable, and was chastising myself for it because I had no reason to feel…
My husband expressed the same shock. He knew the big stuff that had happened, but I had never bothered to mention the “smaller” stuff. He suddenly stopped and said, “Are you just unlucky or does this happen to all women??” I told him to ask him mom if he doubted me.
What is so striking to me is that something that can be traumatic and have such lifelong effects on the victim can not even be a blip on the perpetrator’s radar.
After this latest Trump nastiness, I casually mentioned to my husband how often men had gotten handsy or creepy or even slightly inappropriate with me over the years, particularly when I was young, and he was shocked. And I don’t feel like I got an unusual amount of attention for a reasonably attractive woman (but not…

As of today, I am two months clean and sober!
Should have started this earlier in the evening, but....anyone interested in an Anxiety Thread?
Home alone here, yay! It’s a cold, rainy night. I made Abuelita earlier and have been watching Luke Cage. Then I got hungry and said OH HMM IMA MAKE SCOTCH EGGS and so I did.
Just wanted to let you know you’re not behind. I think plenty of us 30 somethings are still trying to figure out what we want to be (or where we want to be)when we grow up. At least you can take this moment to reassess and move onward.
Here’s a few of my inexplicable experiences, some creepy, one really sweet:
I got my kitten spayed today. I took a picture and she could be on a poster for animal abuse.
Whew, I was worried there for a minute. Yay SNS!
Ok, 14 days in solitary confinement (which has been proven to make inmates suicidal) to punish an inmate for a suicide attempt. Makes sense.
Starting a brag thread this week because I’m so excited!
