As a foreigner living in USA I just do not understand why you put pumpkin to everything once autumn arrives.

“Can I have a name?”

Bobby? I’m disappointed?

I have no idea how “bad” your divorce was, but, yeah, devastating is the right word. My divorce was completely amicable, but it doesn’t matter how good of friends you remain afterward - watching your life fall apart and everything you thought your future would hold turn to dust is the worst thing ever.

Not to mention that it’s the gift that just never, ever stops giving. Would that it was a “one and done”-type thing. I have kids with my ex and it seems I end up reliving the divorce about once every 2-3 months. Fun stuff.

One of the things that sometimes bugs me about the writers across all the formerly-known-as GM sites is when some of them show how incredibly sheltered and naive they are. That “darkly enjoyable” bit is the epitome of that naivete.

Thank you dearie! Here’s to no more heroin ever again!!

Right? I didn’t hate my ex. It was painful and sad and I was angry at him at times, as I sure he was at me. But to look at this person you used to just love unreservedly and see it all falling apart is nothing less than fucking brutal.

My thoughts exactly as I read the “darkly enjoyable” line. There is nothing remotely fun about divorce. It was the second most stressful, painful period in my entire life. The first most stressful, painful period was when my husband was busy blowing up our marriage. If I hadn’t had a very, very good therapist, I…

Hi Major Lazer! Guess what? I picked up my two months clean keytag last week! Yay!

I think people that haven’t been divorced or maybe even married seem to think it’s fun to legally go after someone you hate. They ignore the fact that divorce is horrible because oftentimes the hate is so mixed up with the love that all the “fun” of being bitchy is removed. It’s just flat awful.

I hope you never go through a divorce. Maybe I did my divorce “wrong” but there was nothing enjoyable about it. Not even “darkly enjoyable.” Devastating and tedious? Sure.

I can tell you divorce is not “darkly enjoyable.” The past 3 years of teetering between let’s do it and we can work it out have been torturous in my experience.

I saw the debate. I know what one looks like.

It’s really, really easy for cis people to ignore the abuse of trans women. In every circumstance.

In the hierarchy of which types of lives are “valued” in this country, trans lives are pretty close to the bottom, just above queer/ trans people of color :(

I’ve met horse anti-vaxxers so I’m sure that cat ones are already out there.

And how many of those 22 murdered women are women of color? Malcolm X said that “The most disrespected woman in America, is the black woman. The most un-protected person in America is the black woman.” But in 2016 it seems like it is trans women of color who are most vulnerable to our society’s toxic combination of…

This is how serial killers get away with it. They target those who lack the social capital to defend themselves, who society ignores, and so they pass under the radar. Whether it’s trans women or sex workers or homeless people or drifters, when society ignores or demeans a certain populace, that’s exactly the set of…

For fuck’s sake, people. Cats don’t carry the UGT1A6 gene. In plain English? They can’t metabolize plant toxins. You’re going to trash their liver or kidneys and that is NOT a nice way to die. I’m not saying we shouldn’t investigate alternative forms of arthritis relief, but don’t impose your uncontrollable pot habit…
