Absolutely believe this. When I was married towards the end we had separate bedrooms. My ex was in second bedroom and became really really depressed. That wasn’t unusual so I didn’t think much of it. She asked if we could trade rooms and I said sure. A couple weeks later I was hugely depressed. I had no history of…

She had work to do. Do not fault her for not retiring on anyone's schedule but her own.

It wasn’t safe for her to do so near the end of Obama’s term. Scalia died in February and the senate wouldn’t even hold a hearing for 12 months. How early would she have had to resign for them to allow Obama to replace her?

oh i’ve been creeped out by her since she first arrived. something about her always just felt...off, and wrong. I’ve never listened to her music or much cared about her until recently, which led me to discover all sorts of shit i’d missed. Fuck this woman! *holds up champagne flute*

I especially liked one of her earlier comments proclaiming her music would herald a “third wave” of feminism. Considering that the third wave has been described as far back as the 1990s, and even a fourth wave as far back as the mid 2010s, it seems apparent to me she knows fuck all about the history of feminism.

Exactly! And you can’t make people participate in your bullshit. I spent so much time, and created so much hurt for others, in thinking I could just keep inserting myself into other peoples’ lives to try to “repay” or “make it up to them” after I did stupid, hurtful shit. I then felt like the victim when people would…

Came down here JUST for that... on my life, this appears to be the hardest lesson of that early adulthood transition - some things don’t get re-dos.  Some decisions you make are fucking permanent and there is no scripted resolution where everyone lives happily ever after and things work out.  Reasons why it’s all the…

This crisis you’ve been suppressing isn’t meant to be resolved, it’s meant to be endured.

“When you love something, aren’t you supposed to let it go?”

It was laughable to me when Jax referred to it as “his show,” but even more egregious was Lisa claiming it as “her show.” Her name may be in the title, but no one watches this show for Lisa. Plus, she is the creator and executive producer and will still get paid whether she’s in it or not. When you love something,…

I had a similar situation. I’ll go into detail in a different post. In summary: We were best friends in junior high, lesbian rumor (I’m straight, and she is, supposedly), she thinks I swing that way?

Those “one sided homo erotic best friend senerios” are a drag. So cowardly, so dishonest.  

every tournament, we end up with a boring winner. maybe this time it’ll be different since we’re voting for the things we dislike instead.

I’m entirely confused about why we would want to cancel “feelings.” Having feelings is good, talking about feelings is even better.

I’ve caught myself singing my own version in anticipation of the plush’s release...

They did such an AMAZING job on this, it’s insane.

I was managing to control my fangirl FOMO on the Disney+ front until the BY memes started. I lasted less than 2 weeks before I caved. 

these are so great! I really enjoyed this year’s submissions. If you’re looking for an archive, here you go:

By acclaim, Sorcia McNasty’s story about the haunted truck would go in there, and I’m still going to stand by my contention that the freakiest story I ever read on here was IndianaJoan’s story “911 Calling.”
