Topically irrelevant: when I was in the hospital and on a high dose of steroids, I started hallucinating and thought my IV machine was saying "gulag" over and over.

as a taller lady I can not fit in the window seat. I feel bad if I'm sitting on the outside and it looks like I'm trying to keep people out. I'm not. Just ask to go through.

Re: the empty window seat, assuming you're referring to the 2 seats that are perpendicular to the windows on older R trains, I have an explanation for that! I always sit on the outside seat of that pair at an angle so that people can still get by me to sit in the window seat. I have avoided the window seat myself ever…

If me, my large handbag, my gym bag, and yoga mat can all fit in one little fucking Bloor line seat, THIS BITCH AND ALL OTHER SUBWAY ASSHOLES CAN FUCKING DO IT TOO

People who think their shit needs its own seat on the subway should be rounded up and placed in camps that have half as many chairs as they need.

Can we also talk about old ladies who think their purse needs the window seat? Or anyone else who thinks the window seat next to them is best empty? Oh, or dudes who feel that 'The doorway' is the best place to stand to ride transit? Or 'Shit head sitting in the accessibility seats and doesn't see the person with…

I wish we could just go into Daylight Saving Time and stay there. Forget all this back and forth shit.

I work weird hours now, but when I had a *normal* job there was nothing that aggravated me more than leaving work when it is dark.

So with you on this. While losing an hour is uncomfortable at first, I'll totally take it since it means that I have more daylight in the evening. I just wish we had it all year round, as darkness at 5:30 in the winter is fucking depressing.

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION: I don't mind Daylight Savings Time! Because that means it's the unofficial start of Springtime! And it's light out later in the day! There is nothing wrong with that.

I agree. But every third Tuesday she's on Twitter talking about how it's "over." She's had many public declarations over the years, and so has he. That's what leads me to believe that while she may be hurt, I doubt she's truly "done."

Sure. It can be. However, it's been their pattern to take to the media to declare they are "over" and then be seen later dealing with each other. It would take her doing something different altogether for me to believe she's not open to going back. Sure, initially no one wants to deal with a child that was born while…

I think you've also brought up the caveat of time. Like, if my ex from 6 years ago moved into my area, sure, we could probably be friends now - but also we haven't talked very much over those 6 years. And also, 2-3 years ago, that would not have been an option, because I at least still had very strong feelings for…

I think around 75% cannot reach orgasm from intercourse alone, and I would be surprised if that full 25% achieved orgasm regularly from intercourse alone. I have a few friends who rarely have orgasms from intercourse, but I've yet to encounter anyone who does consistently.

I've never understood why we have to TRY to be friends with exes. I mean, if you want to, fine, but there's no reason to try if someone was a dick to you or if it hurts. Even if you were friends before

I bet the Muslim woman is telling her friends, "I was at an event the other day and this creepy white woman would not stop staring at me."

Like, I think she's confusing them with basilisks or some other thing that turns you to stone.

One time, I made eye contact with a black lady at the gym. I even smiled a little.

Racism is over!

"Before reading your blog, I never would have even made eye contact with someone wearing hijab. But I was at an event the other day where I saw a Muslim woman and I did make eye contact with her'."

In 2015, if these experiments are useful in increasing political empathy, they are useful only to people who have a troublingly low level of it to begin with.
