My husband moved the last of his stuff out this weekend. It’s been a month since he surprise announced his intent to divorce and it feels like he’s been moving at lightning speed. The house feels empty and it’s really beginning to sink in that this is happening and I’m going to be progressing through life without him…

You are doing a great service. May your work prove fruitful.

If people are so busy curating their lives, how do they have time to actually live them? All of this is so performative, because you know they only post “the good stuff”.

Lately I’ve become really disgusted by the number of people I know who are living such “curated” lives. I don’t partake in social media, but during the rare occasions that I peruse other people’s accounts, I’m amazed by how phony everything feels. Everything is about presenting a certain image of yourself that fits a…

Thanks for advocating for us poor greys! I’ve also been commenting here since long before the Kinja days, and it’s so frustrating not being able to participate in discussions the way I used to.

That “honey” tweet above? Go ahead and click on it, folks. If you scroll all the way up, you’ll see that Claire Willett actually went to the trouble of writing out a 28-tweet thread in order to lay out exactly What The Problem Is, starting with this:

<3 Barbara Pym--vastly underrated and talented writer. <3

Obviously it was held over until today in celebration of my birthday. I’m 48. Yikes.

Hurrah!

Younger Democrats also really like to ignore Obama’s drone wars and nickname as The Deporter in Chief.

Good lord.

I went to the matinee children’s show at ABT last weekend and on stage there were more male roles than female even though most of the kids in the audience were girls. The final number was three sailors chasing women outside of a bar on shore leave. One of the little girls I was with asked her mom why they wouldn’t…

This just in: Men in Every World are protected by a ‘boys club’ mentality.

Never forget that letting perfect be the enemy of the good is exactly how we ended up with Agent Orange in the White House.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t remember his presidency. The “losers” you speak of are people who lost the social safety net, lost protection from monopolies, lost the regulation of banks, and lost their union rights, all under Bill.

Bill has always been the “sweep it under the rug” secret of our side of the political spectrum... he was the white Obama of his era, charming and charismatic, used as a follow-up to a curmudgeonly old republican. He worked well at the time, in a climate where democrats shamed Anita Hill just as much as republicans,…

I think if they are sane, they realize that any real person she ends up with would just make things worse.
