I’d been with my on/off-again boyfriend for about two years and we were in an off-but-still-boning phase. We were both in grad school and Valentine’s was on a Wednesday, so it felt like we should do something since we’d been together-ish awhile, but not anything too fancy since weren’t technically together. He…

Is there such a thing as a megachurch pastor who isn't a piece of shit? Serious question. I've met plenty of nice clergy but they've all been of, you know, regular size churches.

Her genre of music isn’t my thing (country or pop). As such, the extent of my “Swift exposure” is the stream of think pieces dissecting her every move (on lack thereof) and the resulting comment strings. I watched the dock out of pure curiosity about how this woman will talk about herself. It was creepy and surreal.

Hot take: Billie Eillish’s “look” is trash and so is her music. 

It’s scientifically proven that we can hold psychological trauma in our bodies. This is why yoga and massage, for example, can be so effective. Allowing tissue to release breaks the stress feedback loop between the physical body/nervous system and the mind. Just the act of physical touch, which is also scientifically…

Reminds me of my favorite joke:

Three men walk into a bar because it was set so low. 

[New revision to a very old joke]

People are incredibly suggestible. Every age has had their hucksters and snake oil salesmen. Social media just makes it easier and cheaper to reach a wider audience.

No, I bought ‘Visions’, she used to be a pretty big deal and I think it’s kind of sad that this relationship will eclipse her work in the public eye.

I dig her early stuff a lot 

I loved grimes’ early music very much. Great for dancing and doing other flow-y active things. Beautiful music videos.

Her music is great, especially her early low-fi stuff. Somebody doesn’t have to be talentless to be annoying.

I am a woman (female from birth). On the hole we’re just as nutty and cruel. How humans have been around for so long stuns me.

I used eHarmony for a while. I didn’t have a picture on my profile. I had three guys (not all at once) who I ended up exchanging emails with and we seemed to get along really well and just before we would decide to meet up, they would ask for a picture and I would send one. And every single one passed after that.  I…

Madonna has clearly always preferred particularly young men; that’s nothing new. But she never seems to learn how to get the media on her side in these matters. She should learn from the all-time queen on the subject...

Great work! Understanding that the values of things/pursuits that society deems valuable are, in reality, meaningless/unnecessary is an important step towards enlightenment. Doing nothing is far more admirable than participating in the lie that this “reality” is. As humans have gotten further away from the truth,…

Well, at the time, she was ridiculed for wanting to better herself intellectually. I think she was quite bright, but poorly educated. And I hate the contempt people have for her — she was smart enough to create a persona that has survived well past her death. That isn't the work of a stupid person.

To be fair, a lot of humans on this earth are motivated by the same feeling.

Me too, but I also wish I could believe it was intellectual curiosity and not a constant attempt to overcome a sense of never being good enough, which is heartbreaking.

I really wish she got a bit more credit for having intellectual curiosity.
