“White people dont really have their own culture.”

IM NOT DEFENDING THIS GUY. WHAT HE DID WAS FUCKED UP. However-

Maybe just, like, don’t stack an alcoholic’s dressing room with booze?

I just made an agreement with my husband... if I’m ever diagnosed with a degenerative brain disease, I’m going to have it put into writing and made official... But if I get one of those diseases and it’s been two weeks since my last “good day,” I want to be put down. My brain is gone, let the body go. For real. No one…

Maybe there’s something wrong with me, but i relish breaking that particular silence. However, from my earliest memories people have said things to me like “you’re a bull in a china shop.” Etc. (Though when mythbusters put and actual bull into an actual China shop, the animal pranced around delicately and didn’t break…

My stupid parents named me Stephanie. I had the same thing in elementary school- 3-5 Stephanies in every class. My last initial was P, which was an added bonus (her name is Pee! Hahaha!) The worst was one year at camp, 5/12 of my cabin was Stephanie. Hated it so hard. The story that I was supposed to be a boy, named…

Yeah... I do yoga and I know many goats. Goats shit a lot. Why this is considered a good idea at all, let alone a good idea while travelling is beyond me. Imagine being trapped next to someone reeking of goat shit on their connecting flight. Ugh.

I’m 33 and still get carded for booze in a place where the drinking age is 18. On a recent visit to the doctor, the receptionist asked to see my student card. I run my own business, im often taken for being my own intern if I show up in person. My husband says I age backwards. I do have a child, she’s a very…

That’s true. In the early aughts I would have worn feminism shirts but they didn’t really exist. I did, however, have one that read “on the rebound, you’ll do” and “fresh juicy Florida oranges” (with orange halves over my tits). That’s just the sort of crap that was available... #feminism is better even if it’s just…

He was really young, at the peak of his self destructive phase that he’s publicly apologized for and distanced himself from. He was barely out of a traumatic childhood. Obviously he doesn’t have any deep seated nazi ties, it was poorly conceived shock-value for a party.

No, the establishment made me read that godawful book in ‘01.

It was required reading in my Ap English class in 2001. What a bore of a book, I noticed it spoke to the souls of the douchiest most tiresome nerd boys among my acquaintance. The real phonies.

Agreed. I also like that in the story, holly disappears. Her phantom haunts the writer for decades and he seeks out scraps of info on her. She didn’t suddenly decide to domesticate with Paul and the cat; quite the opposite! The novel kinda ruined the movie for me for a while but i appreciate them as being separate…

That movie gets darker with every viewing for me. The novella is even darker and more ambiguous, I’d pay to see a good version that’s truer to the original story, doesn’t tie it all up in a weird little bow at the end.

I was date raped, drugged, by a friend. He wasn’t even a powerful exec, he was another college student.

Not medicine advice, sadly I’m an extremely anxious person who can’t take anxiety or depression meds. They have a very bad effect on me..

My husband used to think like you, and also hated cats. Then I got a cat, who has become his fluffy wuv wuv baby because she’s the best cat ever. And he’s recently befriended a very spirited and clever mini schnauzer and said to me “Some small dogs are really awesome!” Which both shocked and did not shock me. Cause…

....and cats. When I was a teen, my brother brought home a very cute stray kitten. She was spirited and affectionate. Mom decided we found keep it, and sent it to the vet to be fixed/vaccinated. And declawed. I hadn’t understood declawing was removing their fingers to the first knuckle. Poor kitty was not the same…

I went through this and have, off and on, my whole life. I used to think it was tied to stress/depression, but during a recent phase I had extensive blood testing. My vitamin d was so low the doctor was surprised I didn’t also have flu symptoms. Ive been on high doses of D as well as iron since then, and my hair has…

Yes, very much so. Tight lacing for young women was as common as calorie restriction is today, and similarly had impacts on the health which some people disregarded and other people railed against. But yes, spend any time at all with a female reenactor worth her salt, she’ll tell you. In fact I have known many…
