Thanks to PTSD I also suffer from this. My husband was initially hurt (it was hard for me to verbalize what was going on; I cried violently after each sexual encounter) but quickly understood when I explained that I was terrified of sex and that the responses were automatic. Look, it’s vital that your bf understands.

I saw the movie and was really disappointed by it. I was ready to see a woman kick ass on screen and be the hero I wanted to see because as a female comic book fan, I almost never get to see strong female super heroes in lead roles. That said, this movie seemed to make a lot of compromises. Chris Pine’s insistence

I’m not surprised that he attracts a crowd of blowhards incapable of admitting they’ve made mistakes. Over and over the press asks if Trump voters regret it and they never do because if they did, they’d have to admit they got fooled. And if Trump admitted that any of the critiques were right, he’d have to admit that

Well amazon stock fell something like 5 billion in response to Trump’s anger towards them so I guess they are just cozing up to this decayed fart bag for better press....of their press. I hate 2017.

I’m honestly stunned that Trump has such a bad relationship with the press. They don’t *really* call him out on his 1) racism 2) sexism 3) complete lack of knowledge of this area 4) dictatorial behavior 5) stupidity 6) etc. etc. etc. They also constantly assure us EIGHT MONTHS IN that he’s a totes new president who

I’m so sad this only has 18 stars. It’s so beautiful.

I loved the ending of the show, and I was glad it didn’t go down the path of other shows (Mad Men, HIMYM) that pissed off fans in the name of being cutesy. I’m sad to see it go, but damn it had a good run.

I love NPR so much. But goddamn, the last few months I haven’t been able to listen in. Their coverage of Trump’s presidency: all the fact-checking, the incisiveness, the analysis guts me because it feels so out of place in 2017. The people who need to hear that kind of journalism don’t believe in facts anyway and it’s

I know that I’ll get hit with the #notallboomers or whatever, but I have to say that my granparents’ generation is so profoundly selfish at times. My great-grandparents, some of whom I was lucky enough to know, were so thrifty, so charitable, and so selfless, as the Depression forged them into people who understood

Oh man, they are obsessed. It doesn’t help that he got on stage and kept moaning about how he was gonna make all their dreams come true. They fell for a crock of bullshit and keep thinking that he’s coming to save them like he’s come to bring them to some economic second coming where they’ll be taken up and given

Yeah, at the rate that he keeps building military vehicles/planes, I’m not sure how the debt will be erased. And really, I don’t get why it matters. So many economists on NPR argued that, really, it has a low impact on everyday life.

Melania is so basic and boring and stupid that she doesn’t even spark interest except among those who just hope she and Barron aren’t abused.

I have no idea why the anger persists. And the delusion is terrifying. I read an interview, I think on the Guardian, where a Trump voter and his kids were set to lose insurance if they approved the health care reform and he didn’t care because it was better than “having a huge national debt.”I was gobsmacked. These

Those Republicans, definitely the political party that loves families.

1) FUCK THEM

I’m pretty sure he once wrote that he felt no sympathy or empathy for people in North Korea and that the North Koreans were at fault for their own atrocities. It was awful to read and stunningly privileged.

I never understand why some actors are ridiculed on this site. If some male blogger made fun of a different celebrity who then “clapped back” or whatever the fuck that means, then we’d celebrate it. But it seems like this is just picking on a random person. Also, speaking from experience, having a toxic mother is hard

My (non) favorite is clap-back, which can alternatively mean that a person gives a really witty and cutting remark OR someone just explains something in what seems a totally neutral, helpful way.

Not to mention that autism didn’t spontaneously arrive right when vaccinations became widespread.

There seems to be so many possibilities and so many studies coming out that really showcase that range of possibilities. I think that a lot of anti-vaxxer/autism parents just want a simple answer: I don’t just that need—don’t we all want one about something?—but the not vaccinating kids just breaks my heart and makes
