I was on tinder for a couple of months, 2 years ago. I still get PYMK recommendations of guys I hooked up with/texted with during that time. It has to be pulling from my phone contacts; that’s the only thing I can think of. And I find it incredibly annoying, but it had never occured to me that it could actually be…

She didn’t stand a chance: child star, shitty parenting, surrounded by predators. Even if Weinstein didn’t touch her, I can’t imagine that she was never sexually harassed/assaulted by anyone, given how vulnerable she was (is). I want her to get a good therapist and get clean and sober, but she hasn’t seemed interested…

I think one is his niece, who he has raised since she was little and referred to as his daughter in at least one song (“Mockingbird”). My source is my incredibly guilty love of his lyrical ability and knowing all of his early albums by heart, as well as a hardcore junior high crush. What can I say, I find super…

I used to have a friend that legit looked like a Ken doll, and had the brains to match. I told him all of the time, “You’re lucky you’re cute”. She knew exactly what she was saying.

Just...why?

I have worked in the service industry and retail for my entire adult life. Nearly every job I held had “that one guy”. “That one guy” who just has to touch you. “That one guy” who constantly asks why you don’t have a boyfriend when you have a body like that. “That one guy” who makes jokes about what it would be like…

Yeah, there is a need for a whole bunch of education and policies that mandate punishments for players who perpetrate violence... none of which will happen because heaven forbid we make a star player sit out a game or three just because some bitch felt like lying. /s

My issue is that October is also Domestic Violence month, but that gets no attention. Football players in pink for a disease everyone is aware of and trying to cure? Sure! Football players in purple, recordings PSAs telling men that domestic violence is not okay? No, thanks, we’d rather talk about tits. SMH.

I can’t hate him...my parents are farmers and “Amarillo Sky”, one of his first singles, always makes me think of my dad. And cry. Because farming is a horribly unreliable source of income and the song is about that.

I grew up in SD. It’s like a competition to be the most obnoxiously “conservative” part of state government.

My boyfriend decided we should watch the series together. We are maybe a third of our way into season 2. He very cautiously asked if most people really liked Carrie and was quite relieved when I told him no one likes Carrie. He also said he can see why I identify with Miranda, as the things that annoy him about her…

Tweeter and the Monkeyman is one of my top-five songs.

I would agree with you that a diverse reading list is a great start to developing empathy. I guess when I classify books with a blanket “inappropriate for children,” I think of it as if the book were a movie. So, Flowers in the Attic, for instance, is definitely not a movie most people would show to a child if filmed…

I wouldn’t say I’m maladjusted, but I do ascribe a lot of my sexual preferences to things I read about at an age in which most people would agree was too young. I think of it like this: a lot of the scenes I read would have been considered hardcore porn and completely inappropriate for a child. Obviously, that was…

My brother and I frequently discuss the completely inappropriate books we read as children. We could only listen to Christian music and for a while couldn’t even watch Disney films due to some weird church beliefs. In their defense, keeping up with our voracious reading habits would have been nearly impossible, but…

She did include a list of more modern books for children, which I thought was a much more constructive part of the letter.

My ex was perfectly content to substitute porn for me...I filed for divorce and substituted a guy who fucks the shit out of me for the ex. I definitely came out on top.

It’s moving to Hulu! Which literally made my week.

It’s almost like being a generically pretty blonde woman with a hint of talent is only a reliable career path at one network...

This quote amuses me in a way that may not be healthy.
