you are literally the nicest person ever, and i do not deserve such high praise!

yeah, after my dad had an organ transplant and was on heavy immunosuppressants, he wore a mask and sanitized his hands when he went out. he didn’t expect everyone else to....

beat me to it.

nah, i am just really not into hassle, and i learned a few things after a short lived relationship (me running after a dude who just wanted to fuck around) when i was 18. i learned that you gotta figure out what you want, not go after what you think you want, and that it’s a lot of work, and more than a little…

yeah, i generally don’t like referring to my law degree, because i work at the same job, at roughly the same responsibility level and pay, as i did before law school, nine years after graduating.

i’m sorry that your friends didn’t.

dude, don’t use that word.

hm, so i wonder why the cops weren’t called on all the bored dads and husbands waiting in the target parking lot when i stopped in a few days ago...oh wait, they were all white.

hey, i’m pretty bummed to learn i am not an english professor, russian, or lawyer.

yeah, and it’s often hardest for those of us who believe ourselves to already be virtuous. just because we’re “good,” it doesn’t mean we’re good enough.

and the jaw.

my husband has a phd in philosophy and was a professor for several years before deciding to go to law school and be a lawyer.

and while you’re at it, kick some rocks!

Yep.

my mom is a nice white lady in her 60s. she’s on the progressive end of the spectrum when it comes to most things, including race. because we’re white, we don’t have to think about race all the time, so when we talk about race, it’s usually political and social, not personal. so i knew she confronted and yelled at her…

i figured out what i liked and pursued dudes who had those characteristics.

i wish that 24 year old me could’ve had this article in hand to present to my friends who fucked around with dudes that didn’t have any of the traits they said they wanted, because it made my mid-20s friendships super boring.

thank you.

when i learned about felony murder in my first year criminal law class in law school, i could not believe that it was the rule in most (all, maybe? this was 12 years ago) places.

so i live in western PA and i know more penn state alumns than i’d like.
