I just got home at 6 this morning. I was returning from a work thing in Jacksonville. Was in the Jacksonville airport since 4pm on Friday, my 6pm flight to Atlanta was delayed 2 hours. My layover was three hours originally, so I was okay. I’d have to sacrifice my planned airport dinner, but that was okay. When I got…

Hey, when I was learning programming, one of the male programmers patiently explained to me that I could never learn to code because women’s brains fundamentally lacked the ability to understand logic. Women, he explained, were biologically incapable of employing logic and thus could never be programmers. He’s…

Having fun isn’t hard, when you’ve got the nuclear codes.

“It’s not easy, but I don’t miss myself anymore. Sometimes my biggest complaint is that I am way too much here. But I know I have found the right person to allow close when I stop worrying so much. There is no coercion needed. No complicity drug required. The whole internal battle fades and gets replaced by a fine…

It’s fucking depressing for sure. I’m in my 5th year teaching now and I still make less than 40K a year. Add 80K still owed in student loans, a mortgage and daycare payments and there’s barely enough left to live on. Meanwhile my friend who graduated high school a year late is making over 60K a year as a UPS truck…

Okay. I’m going to confess! I tried this! I googled where they prescribe Addy and I only found ONE place. So not very convenient. But you only live once, so I made an appointment and went for it. I found it to be such a huge weird shaped pill that it was VERY hard to swallow! And it just didn’t do anything for me.…

I saw a form someone had from a school that let parents opt out of a lot of stuff, don’t want to go to the bake sale or bake anything? cool give $20. Don’t want to help sell cookies and candy bars? cool give $35. so on and so forth there were about a half a dozen things you could opt out of during the school year. I…

“You’re not handsome, you’re not cool”

No, it was just a poor choice of words. I’m sure that she doesn’t think any woman who has had a pregnancy is unsuccessful. She probably should’ve worded it more like “I successfully avoided pregnancy thanks to PP.”

Yes, terrible muggers. That’s not how you choose targets, either. The best mugging targets are families rich-looking couples with children are usually the best. You want to corner them on the way home from the theater or the opera, because they’ll be distracted and dressed up. You definitely want to take any jewelry…

God, this. So much this.

I've learned the best way to loan money is to not consider it a loan - consider it a gift and only give the amount of money you'd be willing to/can afford to give without getting it back. That way if you don't get it back - whatever it was a gift - but if you do get it back it's just a nice bonus

Eh, I agree that some things should be private and obviously everyone has a right to decide for themselves what they’re comfortable sharing, but I think anything that makes naked breasts a little less scandalous is a good thing. We as a society think of naked breasts as automatically sexual, when they’re not. Outside…

I sort of agree with her. At the gym or at the pool or at the beach, the type of woman who usually tells me to cover up more (regardless of what I am wearing) tends to be overweight. I'm not happy with the "ghetto" part but I definitely get more crap from overweight women than thin or fit women.

As a resident of the great state of New Jersey (uugh), last week was stupidly, unrelentingly hot and that kind of soupy humid that feels like you’re drowning with each breath. I wouldn’t have left my worst enemy in a car last Tuesday let alone a defenseless small dog. Those assholes should have their dog taken away…

I wasn’t aware coffee tasted anything *other* than bad.

I never understood her obsession, but she does do the subject justice most of the time. I guess it was just a reality of the time for women, and to exclude it would be dishonest? I do...appreciate (wrong word but I'm failing to come up with another) that a man experiences sexual violence and that it turns the…
