Good for you. I got rid of my uterus in February due to huge fibroids (had to unexpectedly give up one ovary as well because the biggest fibroid basically ate it). I had the old-fashioned bikini cut surgery and recovery wasn’t as bad as everyone made it out to be. So far my remaining ovary has compensated for the loss…

My husband would fucking love it, and would probably demand that we do this if we ever met him. 

God, Awakenings is such a beautiful, moving film. In my opinion both DeNiro’s and Williams’ best performances.

Damn, this sounds like me and my husband exactly. I feel your pain. It’s definitely one of the reasons why this time of year drives me nuts.

I remember seeing pictures of her when i visited Kilmainham Gaol in 2016 (so glad my mom and I got to finally travel to Ireland during the anniversary of the Rising). She seemed like an incredible woman.

As someone who’s eyebrows have never recovered from the trends of the late 90s/early 2000s, your caterpillars are fabulous.

Best Christmas song ever recorded.

I’m amazed at how often grown adults know nothing about how bodies work. I recently had a hysterectomy (uterus and one ovary removed). Around 75% of the women I know have been amazed that I no longer have periods.

I’m so sorry. I replied to you previously about your friend (my dad lived with Primary Progressive MS for close to 30 years before dying of lung cancer). It’s such a bitch of a disease, and affects everyone in different ways. Please know that it’s ok to feel good for your friend for no longer having to deal with it…

I’m so jealous. I think if Trent Reznor ever looked at me, let alone gave me a compliment, I'd spontaneously combust.

I wish I had a dollar for every “wife of” and “mother of” identifiers I’ve seen. I’m married, and honestly I never think of myself in terms of being a wife. I’m interested in sociology, and if I had the time I’d do some deeper research and write a book about this bizarre hive-mind. 

As I said above, I’ve never had a social media account-this website is the only place I’ve ever posted anything online. But as an outsider, it almost seems like all the millennial women got together and decided that only one personality/set of interests/fashion style/way of speaking was acceptable. They seem like…

Lately I’ve become really disgusted by the number of people I know who are living such “curated” lives. I don’t partake in social media, but during the rare occasions that I peruse other people’s accounts, I’m amazed by how phony everything feels. Everything is about presenting a certain image of yourself that fits a…

A million stars for "Barttthelona."

I watched my dad suffer with primary progressive MS for 30 years. When he was diagnosed with lung cancer he said he was more than ready to go; he could barely move by that point, and like your friend was having issues with things like swallowing. He passed away within a month of his cancer diagnosis, and as sad as it…

Or once a month. I have a short pixie and relatively slow-growing hair, and every four weeks works just fine for me.

This is brilliant advice, thank you!

This was actually one of the better ideas that I’ve been considering. I could go on and on about artists/albums I love all day long. 

Good advice, I’ll look into it. She recently wrote a piece for the New York Times about self harm that I considered bringing up; I don’t have personal experience, but it was inspiring.

Honestly, my husband is probably more of a feminist than I am, and I’m pretty hardcore. It’s not forced either; it just comes naturally to him to treat women as equals in all aspects of life. Every day I ask myself what the fuck I did to deserve such a wonderful partner.
