I watched The Babadook a couple of days ago...and it is amazing! There is a severe lack of good horror out there, so any time I can find one, I latch on to it for dear life.

It could just be that you’re not physically attracted to these particular guys. I was a late bloomer-ish. Didn’t go out on my first date until I was 21. I went out with this one guy, and intellectually we had a great connection. The second he tried to kiss me, I threw the car door in between us. I didn’t even realize…

I hate that you’ve experienced this as well but I do feel comforted to know I’m not the only one.

Wine. Drink a lot of wine. Or consider whiskey.

The way you’re describing it seems a lose-lose, because you feel bad if you use it and bad if you don’t. Make it about you, not them.

Romanticizing the past- especially in a blatantly misogynistic way (yay for internalized misogyny!) is probably my #1 pet peeve. The vast majority of the past was fucking barbaric, like what is wrong with people?!

To me makeup is warpaint. I work in a sexist environment (IT) and my cultural background is also sexist. Red lipstick plus bitchface makes people fear you and lessens BS. On the weekends however it’s only sweats, no bra and chapstick.

I wanted to share this with you guys last week but missed SNS. Anyway, here’s a really fun conversation I had on Facebook the other week. I’m green, the original poster is red, and her friend is blue.

“...there’s nothing more emasculating than a woman pulling out her credit card. I don’t care how women’s lib we are.”

So if I'm doing the math right, he got married at 18 or 19 depending on when he turns 29. He got divorced at 27 and has only been dating for three years and he wrote this article??? Bless his heart.

My mother hates Mad Men because her parents are basically Pete and Betty and it reminds her too much of her WASPily awful childhood.

My dad won't watch it either, for similar reasons, though he was only about ten years younger than Don. He says that he finds the show unbearably depressing, and "why would I want to go back there?!" I thought it was interesting he felt that way.

If abstinence-only education made teenagers have less sex and therefore get pregnant less and get fewer STIs, I would still be opposed to it on moral grounds (like, it's wrong to impose your morality on people in public schools, and it's wrong to make teenagers who are having sex feel bad about it.) But it doesn't…

Im using a burner. But I live my GD stepkids as much as my life. They are my kids. MY KIDS, TOO.

I have 4 and also empathize with my childless friends. Because if you have MORE than 2.5 kids, here come 8 million horrible personal questions you'd never ask anyone else. (Including being asked in a business lunch if all my kids were planned. Thankfully my boss shut it DOWN.)

I have a zero tolerance policy for people who tell me I would love my biological child the most, or implying that you can't love stepchildren, or that your feelings change when something is ripped from lions and/or loins. I'm adopted. What they're saying is that my parents didn't love me as much as their "real"…

Being a step-mom can be such a shitty job. Sometimes, you grab on to something to help you get through all of the shit. Lord knows I've done that a few times.

People often said to me "who will take care of you when you're old if you don't have kids?" Having kids is no guarantee a) that they will outlive you and b) that they will be willing or able to take care of you or c) that you will live long enough to want or need care.
