Good to know.  I’m still mad at the loss of the shredded chicken burrito. 

My first and in retrospect funny Valentine’s Day story happened in 6th grade. I bought my new “boyfriend” some chocolates at the local dollar store and took them to school, excited to give them to him. Well just as I was about to hand them over he broke up with me. I was upset but more mad I spent my money on…

This isn’t a memory of a specific Valentine’s Day, but it’s something special that was spread over many Valentine’s Days: Ever since I can remember, my dad would give me a Valentine’s Day card each year with a poem he’d written for me. Sometimes a variation of the “Roses are red” quatrain, sometimes a haiku, sometimes…

My sweetest story is not from a girlfriend or a boyfriend, but rather just from a very kind man.

I recently broke up with my partner of 5+ years after coming to the realization (or, as I also look at it, finally accepting) that I am gay.

I am now living back at my mothers house, which while isn’t ideal in the grand life plan, did come at a good time during a pandemic where I find myself privileged to have a secure…

Kathy Hilton was terrible to Paris in that documentary. Objectifying her as a little girl for being pretty and pretty much saying she doesn’t believe her today. She seems pretty terrible all around.

I’ve met quite a few Mormons in my life and without fail they are pleasant, polite, and committed to community work. But there’s a rotten core to it, like Southern manners and Minnesota nice. The politeness is really  a cover for a corrosive church that embodies vicious racism, misogyny, homophobia, and abuse of…

Milk chocolate has a bad rep? The only people I’ve ever heard dissing it are the smug superior health nazis that only eat the 99.999% cacao ultra bitter dark chocolate for its supposed health benefits. But if you’re eating chocolate purely for health benefits, you’re doing it wrong. Milk chocolate is delicious.

He probably makes money either directly from shilling or from part ownership of some sort. Dude is a total charlatan. 

I appreciate the fact that this experience helped you. However, when people say something “saved their life” I’m always a bit dubious.
There’s no way of knowing what would have happened to you had you not gone to this school. You may have had some other profound experience that changed your life for the better. You…

1) it sounds like Trump had an unsteady gait and needed help but wanted to hide it. My gut instinct went there because a handful of old people in my life just grabbed my hand or forearm when they need to get across a street or step over something. Never bothered me, but that’s what it reminded me of.

I have an important pupdate: Thursday was Darwin’s first birthday!

Militias haha, they really look like a bunch of dumb fat fucks who were rejected by the military. Stop making you Jeeps look like they are from a sci fi military movie and covering yourselves with molle, you look like dumbasses. On top of that you believe conspiracy bullshit and you are in fact a bunch of traitors if…

This hurts me because he’s always been my celebrity boyfriend, but it makes so much sense. 

“I’m sorry for anything bad I might have ever said about JoJo Siwa in the past”

This website has shown me 100 times how hypocritical it is, but this literally is the worst.

So before, JoJo was 100% annoying AF to this website, but now.... she’s the best and must be protected at all costs.

Can I support JoJo, her positivity and bravery in coming out in spite of potential fall out with companies and fans, be horrified about the jackasses who swatted her and yet still find the idea of being trapped in an elevator utterly exhausting and only mildly preferable to dealing in the same situation with a FoxNews…

EW!!! People are not my favorite species, I have to say.
They seem to be, in your case, either way too pushy and boundary crossing, or to discount you altogether. That has to be very difficult, on top of going from regular mobility to chair mobility. I’m sorry you have to be as strong as you do.

I’ve never been a beauty queen, but I did used to take for granted some of the attention and favors I got.
Then I turned 50, and became invisible. Which I’ve actually started to appreciate! And I have a better rapport with men now because I don’t worry that they think I’m hitting on them. 

It’s so frustrating isn’t it that in even some fairly mainstream feminist spheres thin privilege and beauty privilege are still touchy subjects. Thin privilege discourse can get derailed by the usual boring concerntrolling about health. And I think people don’t like talking about beauty privilege sometimes as they’re…
