If you get an accidental teddy bear vagina cake to enliven your christening, you have been given a GIFT! A gift! Write them a nice thank you note and chill.

I’m from Chillicothe; I knew Tiffany and Charlotte from high school. People have their opinions of the town—I even agree with a lot of them. It breaks my heart, though, to hear the constant narrative of “Yeah, it’s such a tragedy, but they were drug-using prostitutes. The town’s riddled with poverty, what do you…

Can we talk about the real tragedy of this piece, which is that it is so hard and scary and difficult to get yourself to go to therapy in the first place, that the absolute last thing you need is to worry about your therapist judging you and your clothes and appearance, talking about it with his coworkers, and writing…

Dude, what the FUCK? That just amazes me. I went to my therapist earlier today in baggy jeans and my boyfriend’s plaid shirt with my hair in a messy bun. Who dressed up to see their therapist? How on earth could he think that he sees the whole spectrum of her looks?

I’d put a caveat on that—talk therapy with no defined goal and end date is a scam. A good therapist will help you define goals, develop a timeline for meeting them, and frankly will push you out of the nest if things linger to the point where it’s clear they’re not helping.

The piece summarizes a decade of therapy with Greta,

Ah okay. Just as I expected: it was a custody battle. I know there are dudes who sincerely love their kids and want like hell to spend more time with them, but honestly, what I see way way way more often among my divorced friends is dads who blatantly give zero shits about their kids except as ways to control or get…

If I were the recipient, I’d spend about a grand on as much kitschy rainbow shit for my yard as I could ($1000 can buy a lot of crap) and donate the rest to a local LGBT group. I love the idea, but rainbows can only go so far and $30000 could do a lot for a small nonprofit.

I just looked at the GoFundMe and it now has $31,000. I’m gay and all for people gaying up their yards as much as they want, but it really irritates me that people will give so much money to people in these situations. How about donating that money to a charity for LGBT youth instead of to someone to make their yard…

You leave Emily Dickinson out of this!

Good.

I know it might make people feel better to think she killed him...but honestly, if you take even a minute to look into Kurt and the type of person he was, and what happened to him in life...you’d see he was a man who has been in pain his whole life. Both mental and physical. It’s noo stretch of the imagination to see…

June 19th 2015; Rachel Dolezal appears on live television to announce that she now identifies as a colony of highly orginized single celled organisms. The audience is shocked as she divides into two separate bodies. The new bodies reform into two new Rachel Dolenzals. The two new Rachels speak in unison. “Join us, for…

They actually have done this a few times in my hometown as a fundraiser (I think it used to be an annual thing back in the day?), I want to think as late as 2010, but possibly more recently. I grew up in rural Southern Baptist Kentucky, and a lot of men from the church I grew up in and throughout the community…

i agree with this and i think it’s unfair in a lot of cases—like, i don’t think an employment history that includes a year of stripping (or a pinterest board that talks about loving booze, or something) has any bearing on a teacher’s ability to teach. but this strikes me as something that would very obviously prevent…

Man, FUCK dudes who pull this “no one will love you like me” bullshit.

So- his whole thing is just ridiculous. Because the truth is this, humans working closely with other humans will sometimes fall in love. Not all scientists are straight- for one. So his little gender segregated lab idea wouldn’t do anything for people with same-sex attraction (which is a higher percent of people than…

Forget the ridiculous third reason for a moment. Why do there seem to be so many otherwise intelligent people who don’t seem to understand that the vast majority of the time it’s not appropriate to act on your sexual impulses? Literally everyday of the week I work with and walk by women that I am attracted to,…

People don’t seem to get the give-and-take that comes with tattoo artists and clients. You can get exactly what you want...but it’s still their work. Their art, part of their repertoire! They have every right to refuse a job, just like as a photographer I have every right to refuse a job that I don’t see fit for me. I…
