The word she was looking for was “Egalitarianism”. That’s a lot closer to believing in equality for all, as opposed to Humanism, which has nothing to do with equality and more to do with theism.

My now ex turned me down for sex and said he wasn’t in the mood and was going to stay up and watch a movie.
“Fair enough”, I thought. So I headed off to bed. Only to hear porn blaring on the TV not even 10 minutes later. My partner had started to be a bit mean at that point. I just sat there and cried in my bed. About…

I have now moved my builder’s foam away from my bathroom vanity. It was there because I found a mouse hole behind the sink. Maybe she had a similar experience and hadn’t moved it?
I know I always read what I’ve grabbed to make sure it is the right bottle after having a shampoo/moisturiser mix-up in my youth.

Yeah, this is just sad behaviour.

Oh man, I wish I knew about that last year. Break down of a 5.5 year relationship where he also maxed out my credit card and took off with my savings...
Yeah, there have been many regrettable angry/upset messages and emails.

Thank you for sharing. My sister has become addicted to meth, and watching her spiral - I feel helpless. I want her to get help but she honesly believes she doesn’t have a problem, despite stealing, dealing and taking the drugs. She’s a mother and I worry every day for her and for my nephew. I talk to the department…

This is Yoshi. He is a 6year old crested pigeon who has just escaped from my home. He has never been outside. He has very recently had surgery and is missing a toe on each foot. He has no sense of danger and will more than likely dwell on the ground. His call is a high pitched “Woo”. My heart is aching and i…

Yay!! More Aussies. This is where we hang out. I take a sickie if I want to stay at home and play with my pigeon, never for a hangover. Not a euphemism. I have an Australian Crested Pigeon, and once or twice a year I just want to spend the day with him and play fetch.

This made me do a spit take!

Yes! Same. It always perplexed me how people could be on the toilet so long. Then I’d feel sad for them. My ex would sometimes spend up to 90 minutes on the can, the first time i found this house, he told me he had to go to the toilet “real quick”. I was sitting in his room wondering if I’d been ditched by my…

Do you really not get that a topic about sexual assault will draw together people with similar experiences? Must be nice in your little bubble. Please continue trolling, it looks great on you :/

Yes. It absolutely pulled on my heart strings.

A lot of work, but people have to really earn my trust. At first I could trust my immediate family and partner, but then he lied to me, left me in a new town, cost me my job, home and $40k. So that on top of my assault makes it very hard to trust ANYONE that isn’t my immediate family. There’s a lot of side eye in my…

The guy I am seeing jokes that I must be a lizard overlord. I read that and was like “I still need a cardigan when it is 25°C”. So obviously I am part lizard and must start embracing this. Currently it is 21°c in my office, and I have 5 layers on and I am still cold. However, I do have Raynauds, so that doesn’t…

*snort*

I saw this when I was up in the lighting box for a show. I have laughed every time I’ve looked at it since. A friend didn’t laugh, so I promptly returned them as they were clearly defective.

I’m exactly the same. There are some movie scenes I only have to think about and I start to mist up. Who’s cutting onions in here...

That part slayed me.

Yes! Children stared at me when I went and saw Inside Out and had to try to discreetly sniffle into my Kleenex.

Was coming here to say I am ”Team Fresh Water”, too. I’m now ”Team Dry Land”.
