I think I got negged for the first time a couple months ago. This guy I hadn’t seen in years was like, “Wow, you look a lot OLDER. But it looks good on you. You really look like a woman now.” Which was funny because I was thinking, ‘Damn, he looks old. Maybe I should cool it on the drinking and smoking and drugs so my…

HOW

Maryann Johanson has some THOUGHTS

“Clothing with names is the #1 thing that leads to kidnapping”

I couldn’t agree more. My hubby and I actually find sleeping on it can really help. Staying up all night exhaustively hashing it out makes for delirious crying and breakdowns.

You guys probably won’t believe this but there was a time this guy was taken kind of halfway seriously as a journalist.

The fact that I’m being PENALIZED for being HORNY FOR JOHN KRASINSKI is an absolute DISGRACE and this is WHY Gawker needs to UNIONIZE

Jesus Christ, what a bunch of butts. I don’t have kids and I don’t want kids and I don’t really like kids but I do my best to nod along supportively when people talk about their kids or show me pictures or whatever because that is basic human courtesy and also I guess it’s really nice that people love their kids? It’s…

It’s not just that the prices have skyrocketed, it’s that the quality has tanked. In college I would splurge on one of their cashmere v-necks a year and gradually built up a nice little collection that lasted most of a decade. Two of the last three sweaters I bought there arrived with holes in them. Also 98% of their…

Do you get similarly het up about people posting pictures of themselves with a glass of wine? Because let me tell you, alcohol is a fucking poison and is causing far, far more agony and death than cocaine is. It’s wonderful and comprehensively deadly.

Wow. What does it say that I’m honestly not even surprised by this? When I first heard of this story, I actually imagined the minutes after the shooting consisting of officers smiling and yucking it up with one another, with a sprinkling of attaboys and back pats thrown in for seasoning. I know that there are people…

I wish I could identify every single bystander and make sure they were punished. Sickening. Utterly sickening.

As the mother of 4 sons, I would be all over this shit if he was my kid.

No one says this on threads about straight PDA. Even if they think it, they don’t say it, because they get that PDA is part of being in a relationship. It’s really demoralizing to constantly hear even so-called “allies” say that expressing your love for your partner is “gross.”

Dunham has a pathology of being and choosing the worst.

Holy bananas, just the first quote on that link gave me a mini rage stroke.

I have a lot of military folk in my family including vets of the recent wars. My brother, who has done a few tours in Afghanistan and is a pretty conservative guy, tends to have a much more nuanced view of the wars than say, my mother, who is also conservative but obviously has no first hand experience of the war, so…

First of all, a reminder that you don’t have to do anything you’re not ready to do. Don’t want to kiss a guy? No problem. Your body is yours and you shouldn’t feel like you have to do anything, from a kiss to the sexiest sex of sexing.

Obviously I am only one woman, but I think that is a very acceptable and respectful way to go about it. You’re not putting any pressure on her on the spot, you’re not expecting anything in return, you’re just offering her the choice. Sounds good to me.
