My worst roommate ate through ALL my food (literally everything, including condiments, leftovers, food my parents made for me for my birthday, etc) and replacing a few select things only when confronted. She would get drunk with her coworkers and be carried into the apt projectile vomiting and I would put her in…

We’re snapping at each other a bit more, but it’s minor and easily apologized for. We’re also very lucky in that we seem to be taking turns having our meltdowns—one person has a horrible downward spiral and the other talks them through; then switch.

I’m with you—things are good with us. Then again, we’ve been through shit before and while this is different, global shit, we’ve already been tested and established decades ago that, for us, marriage is easy—it’s life that’s hard, so our jobs involve getting each other through the stresses of life. One of the things…

Came down here JUST for that... on my life, this appears to be the hardest lesson of that early adulthood transition - some things don’t get re-dos.  Some decisions you make are fucking permanent and there is no scripted resolution where everyone lives happily ever after and things work out.  Reasons why it’s all the…

This crisis you’ve been suppressing isn’t meant to be resolved, it’s meant to be endured.

Point of order: without attempting to slut shame in any way, no one who has any kind of anxiety about disease transmission has unprotected sex with a porn star they just met. I’ll be the first to say that porn stars are people too, and they deserve to have a sex life outside of their job. But they also understand,…

$20 says the second that kid turns 18 he changes his name to Chris, or Nick, or Matthew, or something else equally benign. 

To steal a line from Jim Jeffries’ gun control bit: “Jeez, you think a lot of yourself if you think everyone’s coming to murder you.” 

You just know Grandpa Cracker would lose his shit if he saw a girl wearing a hijab open carrying...

Just in case you wanted the honest answer to the question...

This is what radicalisation and White Privilege looks like.

Yeah we’re all very unreasonable to be concerned about a small child carrying deadly weapons around.

Why on earth would you use a semi-automatic weapon to kill deer? 

I am so sorry you are going through this.

Here’s the problem- there’s an old joke: How many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one, but the lightbulb has to want to change.

I’m watching the time limit expire on the protection order I have against a dangerous, unstable man. He knows the police won’t arrest him for doing things like driving on my street if there is no order in place and thinking about it expiring makes me feel hopeless. On top of the trauma that comes from him threatening…

<— double laminectomy here; you are correct.

As someone who relies on a rolling walker (the kind with a seat), something struck me as very odd when I first saw HW using one, besides the fact that he was suddenly using one in court. Because I’m recently disabled, I’m a bit sensitive to the idea of questioning anyone’s disability issues, BUT if he’s using a walker…

“When pressed on the issue by Twohey, Rotunno claimed that the blame should “rest equally.” Men should be held accountable for forcing themselves on women but women must also accept the blame for not being careful enough, or purposeful enough in their intentions, or stronger.”
