Ooof. Yuck.

I’m a 6'1" tall woman and ages 11-30 were pretty shitty regarding public and private mockery of my height. Shorter women often say “OOHHHH I wish I were that tall!” but most other tall women could tell you it has as many disadvantaged (though different) as being short.

My sister found out she was pregnant while at the clinic to get her IUD. Whoopsie!

I think about That 70s Show a lot. It was a huge success that utilized nostalgia. I was a teen who watched it with my parents; my mom was the exact age of the characters in the 70s. If a show was made today with the same time gap, we’d be looking at a family from ~1998. It’s weird to think about because That 70s Show…

The juxtaposition of youthful car sex and middle-aged car sex is... *chef’s kiss*

This is hilarious! What are the odds!

This one should win.

Gettin’ frisky with my high school boyfriend off a rural dirt road in middle-of-nowhere, and a cop shined a flashlight into the car and caught quite a show — he hadn’t turned on his lights or knocked or anything. He told us to “get dressed and get the fuck out of here.” A few weeks later that same cop caught us on a…

Yeah, I think no matter one’s education or intelligence, if you aren’t a Master Gardener, Herbalist, or a Botanist, it can be very difficult to differentiate between very similar plants. We have “wild strawberries” growing in our yard, but I did my due diligence researching them and discovered they aren’t poisonous,…

I had never even heard of it before that moment!

Tangentially related: I’m a highly educated and trained healthcare worker and educator. I didn’t receive mystery seeds, but I did have some carrots start growing in my garden that I didn’t plant. “Wow!” I thought to myself, “volunteer carrots!” One day while my then-boyfriend was at work, I harvested some veg from the…

A few years ago I had a 21 year old student tell me he was going to spend his summer following the Chainsmokers on tour. At that point I think they had 1 album out. I asked what was appealing about following that band around, in particular? Are you a roadie? Do you know them? Do they put on amazing shows with new and…

Abortion worker sister, here! Thanks for all the work you do. Also, you didn’t always used to be gray, right? Why are you now??

Would love to also see more coverage of all of the hard work abortion rights advocates are doing, and the many successes we are seeing. More people support abortion than not, would be great to see coverage reflect this!

The “might need it later” is for real. When my spouse and I merged houses he wanted to donate anything that was a duplicate. For example, we each had the same nice immersion blender.

I tried to cheat on a test in college once. It was 2 days after the Bush/Kerry election and I’d just been distracted (and drunk/hungover) from that huge disappointment, as I’d been an intern at the local Dem office. I think it was a psychology class where we’d “Pick 5 out of 10" topics and have to write blue book…

HaHa, the last 2 weeks just had topics relevant to times i actually have stories about. Looking back, I think the theme of my stories is my parents, and how quirky they are, and their reactions to very odd pickles I got myself into. Our family bonding time is also sitting around retelling stories we've lived through…

I wonder if it is because at 10 years, it feels like time has passed but the attendees are still relatively young and insecure, focused on the old high school dynamics. By the time you’re in your 50s-70s, you’re just happy to be alive and can have a good time with pretty much anyone.

I want to see a short indie film about a sit down brunch class reunion.

Life is short, why not join? Could be fun. If it sucks, you have a story and only wasted 30 minutes of your life.
