I take muscle relaxers during the first day of my period. I usually end up sleeping through it but it also relaxes all the mini-contractions. :D

I witnessed my parents go through a brutal divorce from age 13-16. It was the ugliest thing but for the best. Before they filed, the hatred was so palpable between them; our extended family didn’t even want to visit our house or come together for holidays. So you can imagine what the divorce was like lmao.

Thanks. Yes, it is pretty concerning to me the high levels of substance abuse and mental illness among lawyers. I guess it really depends on how much time you have spent cultivating good coping skills.

Omf, yes I’m in a group right now with a man and 4 women. The man hasn’t done 1 thing; his job is to find grants for us. Actually let me be fair: he’s emailed a link to a page with a list of grants that we don’t qualify for or are out of date. Naturally, he can’t stop bragging about how smart he is yet he can’t write…

As shitty as that is, it’s true. I’m getting pretty extensive surgery to fix my jaw for functional reasons. But the surgery has positive aesthetic side effects. Throw on a nose job and I’m ready for law school in 2017. I know that more attractive women are given better opportunities and I’m not trying to undo a…

I am interested in family law but find it kind of terrifying because I know how psycho people get when you are helping to “take their families away”. I know family law attorneys have a high rate of victimization by their client’s spouses. Maybe I’m just a worrier. Your thoughts?

I was just given some feedback from a male coworker who said I was too confident. We are part of a small cohort that focuses on leadership development. He said I needed to be less opinionated and more respectful. That it would make me seem more intelligent. My head almost exploded.

I’m applying to law school in the fall and I’ve definitely been warned about this. Even a male friend of mine kept asking me “are you sure you want to go...it’s so hard!”. Like yeah dude I’m sure.

They have the Dead Boys in the commercials but like those songs weren’t written until ‘77. Fuckin posers.

Richard Hell (who was actually there and an integral part of the scene) feels the same way. http://www.stereogum.com/1859526/richar…

Same with my parents. My mother became a neo-conservative talk radio fan over my high school years. It was terrifying. I tell her, “you are the grandchild of mexican illegal immigrants - why do you hate immigration so much?” She has no response past “It’s illegal!”. It’s the fear that comes with being more physically…

I mean....if you’re into single dads who are into radical politics....

Thank you thank you thank you

I keep saying this but the past 8 years of a black man as president has thoroughly freaked these bigots out. I cannot handle 8 years of a female president. These fuckers will just start throwing acid on women going to college. I really see it devolving to that point.

I am one of the under 30's and I haven’t a clue how to inspire people to vote. EVERYONE I know supports Bernie but they don’t believe in voting. I’m losing my mind over here in Arizona. It’s like the state is so red, no one bothers. I need strategies!!

Trust me, many well-educated social justice oriented young people I know are planning on moving out of the U.S. if Bernie isn’t elected.

Only men do this in my experience. Literally had my roommate tell me that he shouldn’t have to clean the floors because he only walks from the front door to his bedroom. Seriously.

Let’s just shorten that to “Clean like you are an adult”.

Same with my roommate. He seems to think that I clean the house just so his life can resume. He will stop cooking or using the kitchen as soon as he’s used all my dishes and it’s dirty as hell. Then within 12 hours of me cleaning everything (after waiting 2-3 weeks for him to lift a finger), he’s cooking again! It’s…
