As someone who occasionally puts on an ASMR video off of Youtube to help me get to sleep, I hereby affirm and attest that I have absolutely zero legs to stand on when it comes to laughing at other people’s harmless, semi-bonkers actions that soothe them. Totally glass house, right here.

My good friend had EB. He died a couple years ago but he lived to be in his 30's. Keeping him in his own apartment and living independently was really hard in terms of resources. The town we live in had fundraisers to pay his rent and bills so that he could live his life as a man on his own. I cooked for him every…

All’s fair in love and basketball.

what a brave young woman. makes me ashamed of myself - some of the things i complain about.

Thank you. This is a great piece.

The data thing doesn’t bother me so much as the stress and anger it can cause me, personally. Shortly after the election, I took an 8 month break from Facebook. I deleted the bookmark from my browser and uninstalled the app from my phone. It was really amazing how very little I missed it and how much stress it…

I just hate Fallon because he’s unfunny and smug, but to each their own.

Anyone can look like Anyone.

We have nothing to do with the Kinja deals team. (Like, literally. By design, we don’t tell each other what to post, and that’s how we maintain some scrap of ethics in this whole situation.)

What an apt description of Karen. And yes - she is the NeNe of Potomac. Except NeNe’s better because NeNe never gave herself a bullshit title like “Grande Dame” or asserted that she was a heavy hitter in the social scene.

I think the first one is also a reference to the fact that she might have more luck in love if she dates an actual fish instead of a man who just drinks like one. BOOM.

Jennifer Garner doesn’t get enough credit for playing the game. In one post she reminded people she’s single (on a night where she looked spectacular), promoted two of her projects, and showed that she can laugh at herself, making her super relatable. Ben Affleck never deserved her.

I worked briefly as a bank teller when I was in high school so I could afford college tuition, and some of the clientele treated me like absolute garbage, and it’s clear they often took out their personal frustrations on the staff of the bank.

It is an injustice to paint these parents in any other light than grieving fucking parents.

I’m SO GLAD that Get Out won best original screenplay, because that script was one of the tightest, best, most layered ones I’ve come across ever.
