I got married last year and chose to keep my name, and the reactions have been interesting. Growing up I didn’t know anyone whose mother kept her maiden name after she got married. All of my now-married women friends changed their names. I don’t know any married couples who have hyphenated their last names or created…

Perhaps this will be good for him in the long run. Depends on him. You mentioned what he did was illegal, so I think he might be getting off really fucking easy if he’s not under threat of going to jail or prison or getting fines. What little info you’ve provided makes it seem he’s in danger of being being an entitled…

Is anyone else watching The Terror? It seems very different from the book to me, but I did read the book a year or so ago.

Anyone else in academia have constant doubt and frustration? I have had a few months of being constantly attacked, ignored, and condescended to by collaborators and I really don’t know how much more I can take.

Girl scouts sell cookies other than tagalongs and thin mints? I did not even notice.

Samoas are garbage, tagalongs are the best, and savannah smiles are decently good lemon cookies I can eat a whole box of in one powdered sugar covered shame incident. Fight me.

Who the fuck even are you people???

Teen suicide has a wide range of different causes. Many of which get active support from thousands of people. It isn’t a singular problem such as this one is.

Did we hurt your gun’s feelings?

Fun fact: since Columbine, the number of times armed militias used guns to prevent government oppression is zero. The number of school shootings since Columbine is 212. #FREEDOM

Is this a really sarcastic joke?

It infuriates me how the old Republican dudes in the Senate know nothing about babies/motherhood while at the same time obsess over restricting abortion rights, the availability of birth control, affordable healthcare for babies, etc. From an article about passing the law to allow Duckworth’s baby on the floor:

I really think you’re stuck on the idea that men do all the initial legwork. That just doesn’t hold true in my lived experience. I, for instance, literally networked among friends to meet my husband. He was at home gaming, feeling vaguely sad he hadn’t met anyone. Real life. I cannot think of many men who actually ask…

Ask a generous and trusted female friend to let you read some of her dating app messages and you will quickly see that most men do virtually no emotional labor. That’s why women are talking about this.

Are you having sex with this person?
Yes?
Would you be having sex with this person if they weren’t paying you?
No?
Ok then.

I feel like you are being purposefully obtuse. The relationship between a mother and her newborn is built on love and trust it has very little in common with this new glamorized form of gold digging that boarders in prostitution. He paid my tuition so I’ll fuck him tonight is not the same as a mother caring for her…

My own observations of this life:

The slide shown in the main graphic says, “How did show him you’re a serious business person?” Maybe by proof-reading your PPT?

Like where do I even start with this asinine question...

I’m so full of emotions. Amazing work, and I’m still reading through it. But I just wanted to stop and say:
