My grandma had a surprise baby at 52. She just assumed it was menopause. A lot of the symptoms are similar. Then, the same thing happened to my aunt (at 50). Her first grandchild was two years older than her youngest daughter. This is why my Mom is still on birth control, and why I will probably never, ever stop using…

Oh my. It’s not that hard, people. If a person doesnt want to have sex, whatever their context, and you make them have sex, then you are guilty of rape. That’s it.

I’m married to a shorter guy (he’s 5’6, and broad as a bear) and I have to say that most negative reactions come from outside of our relationship. Family. There is definitely a height/status correlation in America that isn’t at all present in the UK. My family are southern and dominance is a pretty major thing for…

Nope. Not at all. Entitlement makes fantastic armor.

I’d like to, but it’s only been in print journals and my American collection. Here’s a link. http://writingknightspress.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/the-go…

This is probably the worst thing that I’ve read in a long time.

It’s only been in print journals and anthologies, but it is in my American collection: http://writingknightspress.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/the-go…

I’ve posted about it on Jezebel before, under my old screen name. Needless to say, I think about it a lot.

That fact really lowered my opinion of humanity. Even if only one in every fifty people tries something like that, it’s still far too much.

Yes. I was so upset that I actually threw up after yelling at her. I made it out of the catacombs first, though.

My husband and I toured the Paris Catacombs. It was one of the pivotal experiences in my life - I emerged with a profound acceptance of my own mortality, along with some insight into the darker side of human nature. While we were in there, we saw a woman (an American, sunnysunny-blond, moneyed, extremely entitled) pry…

We dissected worms, fetal pigs, and owl pellets. I was scarily good at it. Which served me well when I started (illegally) working or a veterinarian (at 15) who had me (also illegally) perform surgeries on animals. I was scarily good at that, too. Somehow, I did not grow up to be a psychopath. I promise.

The child will soon be adopted by a shepherd, and then he will found a city which will spiral into an empire.
Seriously though, this is awful. I hope that both mother and child get help, and that somebody gives that dog a steak.

Some of these are pretty but HOW WOULD YOU WIPE YOUR ASS?

While you should, without a doubt, publish stories like this, you absolutely should not have posted the video of the murders. I won’t watch it (I’ve got PTSD, and ethics) and the only reason that anyone would desire to see it springs from sick, entitled curiosity. It is enough, for us, to know that they are dead,…

Before I got married, I had good luck in London. They take bisexuals seriously, too. No one accused me of doing it for attention, which was nice.

I’m a Christian and I don’t think that I can take much more of this. These people care more about outside perceptions, about their hierarchal standing, about money, power, and their personal status than they do about the lives of actual flesh and blood children. I spent three years in a ‘Presbyterian’ orphanage and a…

No use arguing with a troll, but I’m a glutton for punishment, so I’ll say that if you are willing to throw away two more lives for the sake of vengeance instead of getting them psychological help (which is no walk in the park) then you are the monster.

‘Women Betrayed’. No kidding. I see what they are trying to do, but really they couldn’t have picked a better label if they tried. Vote for the GOP and women will indeed be betrayed.

I actually think that this is a fantastic idea. Out of death, comes new life. Maybe I’ve been reading too much Jung (or watching too many episodes of Ask a Mortician) but I love this idea. There’s also the fact that here in the UK the churches are full of dead people so you are going to be walking over corpses on your…
