This cover and story reek of some PR blackmail/trading favors nightmare. GQ just lost my respect.

Awesome stuff, thank you!

That definitely sounds up my alley! Will definitely check it out.

Totally love your system! What I love about it is that it stems from a positive place. Asking “what foods do I love to eat?” and going from there sounds like a hell of a plan! :) Thank you!

I’d love some feminist/body positive perspectives on healthy eating/living. Backstory: I was always a chubby kid and my mom (who is mostly wonderful) always had me going on Weight Watchers and Atkins and other diets with her. Each time, we’d get super pumped, buy a huge haul of healthy foods, look up recipes, start…

My roomie/good friend is having a bday party tonight and a bunch of her friends are over pumping “getting ready” music and I hate this. Why do I hate this? I honestly like the bar we’re going to later — it’s got a chill vibe and a good craft brew selection, but damn if I’m not really fucking bad at this whole going…

Today I essentially quit my job. My colleague and I sat down our bosses and told them that it’s not working and something big needs to change. We’re independent contractors on a high profile project not attached to any larger company or entity. Wrote them an email saying we needed to have this discussion instead of…

So most nights I end up falling asleep with the computer next to me, still open. It’s lousy, but the idea of not falling asleep to the Gilmore Girls theme song (or Bob’s Burgers theme song,…

That’s a great point. I’ve used this trick before on myself — a couple weeks ago I went straight for a meeting to a friends bday party even though I looked like crap. Had I gone home to change and freshen up I would have never made it out. Part of what contributes to this overall challenge though is that I most often…

You’re right. Its something you gotta make time for. And I much prefer having “scheduled” social time where I can mentally prep for it anyway. Meeting for drinks with one or two people or going to see a comedy show — those are things I actually like and can handle. Big epic nights like giant house parties and holidays…

Glad to have stuck-at-home-with-work-for-Halloween solidarity!

Coming back to SNS tonight with a new handle after a long time away. In some ways returning here feels like returning to who I was three years ago. I’d just moved to a new city and felt incredibly isolated. I was calling my mom in tears all the time, pining to move back to family and home. SNS was my savior then — a…
