He said “no thanks” 3 times. “No” is a complete sentence. I felt awful for Kesha there, but she’s lucky he didn’t say “get the fuck out of my face”.

The man has stated that he hates this type of attention. Please stop. It’s gross and discredits us. I’m sensitive about my chest size, and the idea of a feminist website chuckling over my tits while I make a braless run to the coffeeshop pisses me off. Grow up.

Thank you. As a progressive Memphian I don’t take kindly to the stereotyping of the South. I work hard to be open minded and open hearted. It’s not adorable to use words like that.

I’m still mad at my very reputable, very lauded massage school for putting us through a rotation on “eastern medicine”. Like seriously, I just took a test on the entire human skeletal system. We studied pathology, anatomy, worked on a cadaver and then you have me sit through a class that includes crystals and circling…

“I don’t know why, also saying, you know, my father respects families is controversial, I mean he’s probably hired a ton of fathers and mothers and children”

I recall reading in a Martha Washington biography that George was considered very very handsome, and that portraits were never really able to convey that through paint. I had a girlfriend in school who was an indirect descendant of GW and she looked eerily like him. Not a good look on a 9 year old girl.

I understand your well intentioned reply.

My boyfriend has terminal stomach cancer - so he has a good 10 years left and then 5 rough years after. He constantly suffers from nausea and its hard for him to handle food. Neither of us like the idea of smoking, but does anyone have any personal experience with edibles for calming nausea?

That’s the best reply? As a human and nanny that adores kids and needs them in my life, but does NOT want bio babies I usually say “I spoil my nieces and nephews and I volunteer and work with kids. And then I get to go home and take an hour long bath with a glass of wine while watching Netflix. And then I sleep in…

Thank you Arkansas for making us in TN feel somehow less terrible. Meanwhile, we can at least both crack jokes about Mississippi.

I was attending a concert for peace benefiting Planned Parenthood yesterday and my very republican, very old school white dad who once stated to me “You know Santorum has some really good ideas” donated to OUT Memphis. I was so surprised, I was afraid to make any noises or any sudden movements, like scaring a wild…

My fucking father who voted Bush into office, and quietly not so quietly lost it when Obama was voted in - lost his ever loving shit every time Obama was reported to be in in Hawaii on vacation. I wanted to throw my hands in the air and stare him down and remind him about the lovely vacations we took as kiddos because…

I’m sure wherever you’re from is lovely and perfect. Unless it’s a Swedish prison, or Canada, be gone honky.

Racist Tami can’t even get her shitty racist memes right? I imagine her terrified that a ninja was going to try to tutor her child in calculus.

Looking into “that”? Seeking advice from a society that is well versed in finding safe options around an autocratic government? I don’t think this person was suggesting shoving hot sauce into the cervix. And what if you don’t drive, don’t have bus fare, you’re scared to ask a family member for a ride, can’t get off…

It’s because I make them ask for something if it’s like junk food or a treat or soda. So they’ve for some reason just gotten used to asking for everything from water to trail mix to yogurt. This was born out of an incident where the kids snuck nacho cheese from the fridge, ate it in the backyard by hand, and then left…

Yes yes yes. I love to tell the story of being a Girl Scout in 1989 during 2nd grade selling cookies. I’m deathly shy and all sorts of socially awkward so this was my Waterloo. I was sent off by my parents with a packet of cash to make change out of and a red wagon full of cookies to go knock on strangers doors…

This makes me feel so much better. I’m a nanny for two school ages kiddos, and I’ve been frozen out by the moms at playdates and those awful fucking birthday parties where the adults are expected to stick around (I do not remember ever having a bday party growing up where the parents didn’t drop off the kids!). The…
