My (reformed Jewish) sisters tried to keep kosher once.

Ah the luxury of having never bought an item from Walmart. You obviously have never lived in a small town with poor parents, and the only place for 30 miles is a Walmart. In rural areas, it’s a necessity.

Really badly photoshopped hands, obviously trying to make it look (after the fact) like Martha wasn’t drinking wine alone.

I’ve found shoes that were comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, but they generally fell apart within weeks. I found it better to just spend more money when better quality shoes were on sale when I started working at my current job some years ago.

As a white woman married to a South Asian man, I LOVED this show. It was like our life was being played out on Netflix. Except my in-laws are somewhat insane, not funny and cool and understanding like Aziz’s parents. I also have other white friends who didn’t quite get the show, though.

Maybe your white friends just have terrible taste, because my pasty-ass loved it and so has every white friend I recommended it to.

i think his fear was that your ideas would get traction...if he was all about control, then the last thing he would want is an empowered you.

I’m BPI (wrote an essay about it on Gawker a few years back) and I’m writing to tell you about Lamictal if your husband is not on that. Since I was diagnosed in 2009, I’ve been on Ativan, Risperdal, Lithium, Seroquel, and Klonopin. I only take Lamictal now (save an occasional Ativan if I can’t sleep) and I feel…

Or for your kids. Or so you don’t seem as fucked up as you actually are, or because in some cases it’s like you’re complicit with your own abuse by Mr. Socially Awkard But Seemingly Nice Guy. :(

I am covered under Obamacare and was diagnosed, finally at twenty six, as ADD. I am taking a medication which has no generic. I must have this medication especially considering I finally understand why I have never felt any kind of psychological integrity. You and I can’t survive without our meds!

This sounds like a great idea. And since one I live literally 2 min away from CHQ and two I work here, I will pass this suggestion along.

I always wear a bit because I really hate the “are you ok?” comments. #complicit ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A male coworker 12 years my junior when I showed to an early am meeting without makeup: “Oh wow sweetie you don’t look older at all with no makeup! You just look...like... more tired, that’s all!”
He got a big laugh from me and learned that “tired” is exactly what aging looks like.
I’m in my mid 30's —I’m not fucking…

Life is short, and I want to be weird.

“In my world, having HR in the room isn’t good.”

no makeup look: “you look soooo much better without makeup on”

Exactly. I have zero patience for takes that are all “Here’s what adults should and should not do.” If you are paying your bills and rent on time and making mostly responsible decisions, who the FUCK cares what you put on your face, how you wear your hair, or what activities you choose to do in your spare time? Like,…

This grown-ass lady made herself a goddamn unicorn dress. And wore it to work.

Cheryl Wischhover nails the trend’s “infantilizing” tendency for Racked: “Reconciling being a grown-ass lady who pays rent and buys her own condoms while also enjoying wearing holographic lip gloss that looks like unicorn tears can be tricky, but who doesn’t want to be recognized as magical, I guess?”
