It’s a semicolon, on my left collarbone. I’m planning another one with my sister, that we’ll get the next time I visit; it’s a lupine, from the children’s book our mom used to read us.

I graduated yesterday with a M.A. And a graduate certificate in conflict resolution. It was awesome.

Thanks! And yeah, I am literally so fed up that I’m abandoning a green card in favour of sanity and stupidly high rent, ha.

I’m sure if this counts as an actual brag, but I outed myself to my family re moving home. You know these people who say ‘if Trump wins, I’m moving to Canada’? Well that’s me, but in my case, I’m moving back to Canada. This country has crossed a line in terms of horrific behaviour (I live in Texas, so Patrick can fuck…

I have no helpful doggy first aid to offer, but just wanted to say that you’re a brilliant person for looking after this dog who needs you.

I got dress to wear for graduation that I like.

I’m past the “perpetually going single to weddings” phase and onto the “perpetually single while friends are having babies stage.” That also blows.

Not entirely on my own merits, but after two weeks of flirting with hospital admission for preeclampsia, the doctor put me on blood pressure meds and they started working today. 117/77! We’re looking to make it to June, and this gives us a fighting chance.

BEAUTY THREAD!

They can dictate what you wear. It doesn’t mean they should, at least with cases like this. Set all the rules you want on hemlines and midriffs - but making a rule like this, that was clearly targeted at this particular girl, just days before the prom is unforgivable.

Actually, the slang term is “ho."

Yeah, I’m not really thrilled with the reinforcement of the idea of women’s bodies as an “embodiment of nature” more than men’s bodies. The woman-as-nurturing-earth-mother-figure is not necessarily feminist. When it’s used to suggest that women are fundamentally different from men—more nurturing, more connected to…

It doesn’t actually talk about how she died. It says she had a hidden heart condition. It’s the defendant’s lawyer who makes those crazy ass claims about “consensual fighting” and how beating someone about the face and torso isn’t actually blunt force trauma, which, no, wrong. She died because of the fight for sure.

Is this really normal teen behaviour? Seems to me it was an extreme minority of teens back in my day. How is beating someone up an accident? Oops, my fist slipped. Repeatedly.

I didn’t act like this teenager when I was a teenager.

Um what? Hitting another person repeatedly in the head is not a ‘teenager acting like a teenager.’

It was always the fridges that blew my mind. We never had enough to eat as kids so I couldn’t believe there were people with such amazing, well stocked fridges.

“If women want to leave SSM then they can and they do and it’s supported. Unless a woman leaves all crazy-style and dramatically then it’s kinda like buh-bye good riddance, if you ask me! Some women leave that way and I feel like they’d have to be investing in some crazy crap in order to cut something off that has be…

And you sound like someone who needs to see a therapist, I say this from a really sincere place, go talk to someone who’s an accredited therapist and get an unbiased opinion of your situation. If its not a cult and your doing great there should be no issue. I wish you luck kiddo.

As a mid-20 something, I can honestly say the only time I would expect someone talk like this is if they were a) from Clueless, or b) someone who had learned everything they knew about women from bad 80s/90s media. Hm... Makes her want to vom, indeed.
