My dad (who just smoked ‘sticky’ for the first time since 1979) assures me that weed is now unrealistically stronger. He compared it to crushing ants with meteors. He was probably still high when he called me to shout about it.

Just that same reminder as always - ModCloth is now a Walmart owned company.

Paula was super upset. I was sitting in the car cracking up because she was like WHAT THE FUCK?? but since it was NPR she had to be professional.

Haha, I got it.

A lack of planning on United’s part doesn’t constitute an emergency on mine.

thank you

Brag thread! What’s a super cool thing you have accomplished recently?

I got my dream job. Literally my dream job. I start in May. I am freaking out. I now have to quit my job and move and start this huge new process but I’m so fucking thrilled and I can’t believe it. Holy shit. It’s not quite official but I’m waiting for my contract to be sent to me (Tuesday) before I announce it but…

If she wants to know what it is really like to be traumatized maybe she should go to a real protest, where the people actually believe in something and the cops show up in riot gear. You know, the ones that look a little more like this:

Thank you for this. I could have written the OP’s post myself!

I don’t care what other people think of my post-baby body. Growing and birthing a human being is fucking bad-ass. I’m proud of my body, no matter what it looks like.

Gross brothers-in-law are terrible. My ex-BIL would grab my ass when he hugged me and would kiss me full on the lips. It was just a big joke among my ex and his brothers. I do NOT miss that family.

The messed up thing is, he’ll talk about how he’s been improving himself and acting better over the last few years! Not in a bragging way, but with the tone of, “man, I’m really glad I grew up.” Still haven’t hit the baseline of decent behavior, dude...

That man is absolutely not your friend and you have no obligation to be nice, to communicate with him, to make eye contact with him, see him ever again, nothing at all. Block his number and warn your other friends.

Hey, no matter what anyone says including that douchebag, that behavior is unacceptable. full stop. You’re not obligated to cater to his feelings or his ego.

Hello lovely people of Jez. In the spirit of keeping you guys posted, I underwent a breast tomosynthesis and ultrasound this week and the doctor said “I don’t see anything I worry about here”. One of the areas of interest is a cyst and the other is a clump of breast tissue. I was advised to schedule a genetic risk…

To bring this little piece of news even closer to home, how about we all share our sober birthday? I know there’s many of us here that are recovering addicts.

Thank you so much for your response and advice. I took the day yesterday to think about what you wrote. I’m starting to accept the fact that *my* grieving, although not what I expected to feel or thought was normal, is okay. Just like you described- in bits and pieces. I’m not sure I can verbally set my boundaries…

Can I pick your brain about how to act in my situation?

I’m so here for this. When you are marginalized, your existence IS resistance. I’m Black, female, and bisexual, and just living my life feels like a protest when so much of society doesn’t want any of those parts of me to exist publicly.
