What makes me angry about the entire “incel” thing - outside of the obvious entitlement and objectification of women - is that these assholes claiming that women are just picking high-status men are the same assholes who won’t date “beneath them.” It’s not that they CAN’T get laid. They just don’t want any woman who…

I get it pretty bad. One time my entire body was covered, my hands are breaking out right now. Sunscreen makes it worse, so I try to limit my time outside during the worst part of the day but that’s hard. My doctor prescribed a steroid cream and you can’t use it all the time but I’ll use a little bit here and there…

I don’t know about salvaging your relationship, but if you just want him to help out there is a way to make that happen. Men, especially if they are the breadwinners (or see themselves that way LOL), sometimes don’t understand that if they want a relationship with their kids they have to start building it in infancy.…

I think people have gotten frustrated by being in the greys eternally. Some consistent commenters were out of the greys and then got banned for petty reasons and they left. I feel like very few new people are out of the greys lately so people get bored of commenting and never getting any interaction with anyone due to…

Several things: I always loved Gunne Sax and derivatives. I’m a Little House on the Prairie girl at heart. Also, I am eczematous too, man, and I don’t like it as an insult. >:(

New manicure!

I’m going through perimenopause now. Wasn’t sure until a few months ago when my periods abruptly got wonky. I’ve been dealing with insomnia for 9 months, it’s THE WORST. Increased random anxiety. Now periods from hell. I want a switch that flips it all off rn.

I just started this! It’s no fun but my sleep symptoms were helped by drinkable magnesium. Ginsing from Asia is great for hormone stabilization too. Mostly, I’ve become used to waking up at 3 and reading for an hour. All of my Peri aged friends have this same annoying sleep cycle.

Evening beautiful Jezzies...Craft Thread!

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.

Don’t touch us without our consent. Listen to our voices. We’re not second class citizens who need old white men with fake piety telling us what we can and cannot do with our bodies. Which you’re not allowed to touch without our consent. Hearing me, legislators? #commonsense #respect

Hey you guys! I’m a biochemistry PhD student who’s involved in a science writing blog. We’re trying to start an associated science podcast, and I need a bit of help.

I’m 36 and I bought this dress.

In the morning I will be baking a cake to bring to Mr. Pie’s family’s house for Easter dinner.

Get on an HRT plan (hormone replacement therapy). It works. When your estrogen drops, you get hot flashes. Transdermal patches are where it’s at for estrodial replacement. You put a patch either over your ovary on your front or your back. It doesn’t go through your liver. Completely bio-identical and completely safe.

My brother was killed in a wreck on Wednesday. He was 29. He was a good man, with a big heart. He overcame a lot of obstacles and had gotten his life headed the way he wanted to go, and then he swerved to miss a dog in the road. Just like that, one thing, and he’s gone.

Hi everyone! It’s been a while since I updated everyone. Several months ago I started posting about my abusive marriage and really appreciated everyone’s support as I prepared to leave. Now I am here to update everyone that I have been gone a little over 3 months. I am in my dream apartment. It might not be much to…

Yeeeup. This was what Gloria Steinem was trying to say (in my opinion) when she explained why young women were voting for Bernie. I didn’t disagree.
