Don’t apologize Bella, after a tough week at work, sitting on my patio, sipping wine and reading obsessively about the Fyre festival has really made my weekend.

“We’ve done Coachella, EDC, Ultra, everything.”
Even when I was 20, this statement would make me want to punch that person.

If one of my kids had typed that, I would have seriously thought about where I went wrong and whether or not cutting them out of the will would scare some sense into them.

Whenever I read stories like this in the world, I wonder how on earth people my age or younger can just go and willy nilly drop $2000 on something like this. Our household income is twice the median and anything over $200 is a ‘is this ok? Can we do this?’ type of purchase. I always wonder what these people do for a…

like, this was my rent, which I just spent on this thing that’s not happening.

I’m so sorry for your experiences. If I had a dollar for every person who told me “Just snap out of it. Happiness is a choice!” About my mental illness or “You just need to be stronger about resisting my addiction” about my drug use, I’d be a rich lady. Fuck every person who said that shit to me, and to you, and your…

Yeah and I’ve had friends die of an OD. A lot of times they’re using drugs for their undiagnosed and untreated mental illness. So knowing that makes it even more disgusting.

This is a disturbingly common sentiment. After Carrie Fisher’s death, I found an old friend on Facebook talking about how no one should mourn her because she was an addict and the same goes for Prince. And then he went on to add that suicides similarly do not deserve our compassion, citing Robin Williams.

Exactly. That jumped out at me too. What an awful person. He exemplifies the lack of compassion of conservatives.

Ugh, that’s what got me too. As if one can only be deserving of compassion if they died of an “acceptable” disease. Died of an addiction, depression, suicide? Oh well, they did it to themselves. Fuck ‘em.

I’m a compassionate person. I’m very heartbroken over her passing, especially since it was cancer.

You kids and your Tweeters and Instaspams and Fumblers and Book of Many Faces. I my day we AOL instant messaged like the good Lord intended, I’ll tell you what. Why, we’d have to be at our desktop CPUs and sit for hours to LOL and BRB ourselves into oblivion.

I really appreciate that you posted this article—it’s something few people talk about.

Thank you for this! One thing I wanted to add is that while you won’t be protected from all risk of postpartum diastasis recti occurring, one thing that can help prevent this is to make sure you take postpartum convalescence seriously.

Maid Marianne was a lucky lucky lady fox.

Please, everyone knows the heart throb in Zootopia is the tiger on the bus.

I’m 43 and until a few years ago I had zero idea just how many women of my generation were into Fox Robin Hood. It’s a little hilarious.

I do not understand how Billy Eichner keeps getting work. Easily the worst part of a bad season of Parks and Rec.

I would really like a _My Super Sweet 16: Where are they now?_ with all the original spoiled brats.
