I have to pin him down to kiss and hug him. He hugs me by almost painfully slapping my back. But he is a loving and fiercely loyal sibling. If I get a kiss in, I’ll do it in your honor, Benjamin. Brotherology is the shit, and I’m extremely proud of him.

Your brother sounds amazing. Kiss him on the cheek for me :)

I am a mother and let me tell you, self control is all that stands between me and jail when it comes to the kids.

As the father of two young girls, I cannot imagine. I do not want to imagine actually. The first thing that came to mind reading this (envisioned it really) was running a sword through Howard Lotte’s chest.

Unfair, unbalanced power-dynamic will probably be the answer everyone and their sophistry will give you.

I can’t even imagine. My husband is the safest place in the world for me. My haven and my home. That the attack deprived you both of that treasure is immeasurably sad. I hope that as time passes your struggle eases. I’m sure you love each other very much and love can do a lot of unexpected things.

Thanks. My husband is who I feel sorry for—I regularly struggle with it. The night terrors are the absolute worst. I’ve given him a black eye and not even recognized him. I’ve elbowed him so severely in the face, I thought I broke his jaw. That’s just a byproduct of not trusting.

The hardest trust for me to regain, after being raped, was trsusting myself and my judgment. 13 years later, I haven’t been in a long term relationship since and have made a very limited number of new, close friends. So, I guess it’s a question I’m still searching for the answer to.

For me personally, it took years for me to trust anyone that wasn’t close family. My parents, my brothers, my Busia and step-grandfather, a couple of aunts and cousins- they were the only people I ever felt safe around. Years and years of therapy has gotten me to be able to trust others, though that circle is very…

I love the open chair at the end of the line. It’s silently implying so many things. Because you KNOW there are more out there. And more women that will be raped by others. It's almost an open invitation to other victims to feel like they could step up and join those women who were able to come forward.

Kourtney graduated too. She has a degree from the University of Arizona in spanish and theatre. I am sorry that I know this.

fighting on Twitter is like fighting via Morse code

“ because I believe it” is not a valid argument. Just thought you should know.

Yeah, I’m confused about this. It is a medal given by the president. At some point some president made up the criteria for awarding the medal. And at this point, this president can make up a criteria for revoking it.

“No mechanism?” MAKE ONE UP.

Breastfeeding was a challenging, painful time. I have no urge to remember it via jewelry. Who are these people???

“Why do you have the #28 in roman numerals on your shoulder?”

“It’s how many men I’ve killed.”

make up different stories for each person who asks. get increasingly bizarre with each one.

cause in the end, it nun they damn biznaz.

Will donate my next bonus check if they promise to send one to every dude I work with. Boners EVERYWHERE. Like, can you put that shit down it’s just coffee and donuts.

Wow, really? No. Even us poors allow our children to keep the money that they earn themselves.
