My wife is an adoptee and had her DNA tested. She had perviously identified her birth mother; they do not have a relationship.

Here is what I don’t understand:

He’s a grade-A American asshole. We make the best assholes in the whole world. Hands down.

My mom is now a therapist, my mom spent most of my life in therapy. I think about this often. But I also think she is probably really helpful to a lot of people, just not me so much.

FYI Spike directed both this and the commercial.

Peanut Butter, Oatmeal, Chocolate Chip Cookies

Women at all levels get this shit. Though also I’d suspect women in positions of lower authority have more barriers to discussing the harassment they experience due to less job security.

As a senior manager, if one of my employees initiated and pursued sexual relations with me, that would not absolve me of my responsibility to not take advantage of the situation. The dynamic between us inherently puts the onus on me to act responsibly and professionally even when the other individual isn’t respecting…

This sketch was wishy-washy bullshit. I hated it. “Oh it’s so hard to talk about!” No, it’s really easy, actually. What’s hard is that men tend to get called assholes and that, apparently, is far worse than the sexual assault that masquerades as dating for, well, most women at one point or another in their lives. I’m…

If you pull your pants down in public, you waive the right to be insulted by observations.

I had the most interesting discussion with a pro-Trump guy about this today. He’s very much anti-DACA as “immigration reform”

And also, it’s going to put off the Norwegians.

That poem touched a raw spot in my soul and made me want to cry. But I’m done crying. I was done crying at 7 years old when I told my parents. And I’ve been telling on these abusers ever since.
