I wash my feet. But I don’t wear socks like 90% of my life and I’m also a dancer, so my feet are gross.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. I am able to see other perspectives on this, but this point of view just seems fundamentally contradictory to me. Not getting married will not spare you from the emotional trauma of ending a long-term relationship. You can choose to remain financially autonomous, but even…

I think divorce is often financially devastating, so I do see why people who have shown themselves to be bad at marriage are leery of doing it again.

Like, you don’t have to have a wedding. You can just go to the courthouse. I get not wanting to do the ring and the dress and the big party. But that’s not a marriage.

Ok,but...if you’re willing to file legal documents to, for instance, give your partner the ability to make healthcare decisions for you should you be incapacitated...why not file marriage paperwork for the same (and other) reasons? What’s the difference between that paperwork and a marriage license, if marriage really…

Whaaaaaaaaat. Just. What.

I like her, too. Which is why I am cringing so hard at that post.

Josh Tillman (Father John Misty) has a writing credit on Hold Up, too.

Get outta here with your rational sense-making!

To be honest, my mom was one of those mothers who basically made her whole identity about her children, too. But credit where credit’s due, she’s done some self-reflection as my sister and I have grown up and realized she has to have boundaries and let us live our adult lives on our own. She still pushes sometimes but…

unable to comprehend your grown children as adults

Right?! Even IF you believe in Invisible Sky Daddy, God’s not supposed to give a rat’s ass about material things. This guy’s got his own ridiculous ideology ass backwards.

THIS. I used to live in a community that had a substantial black bear population. There was no curbside garbage or recycling pick up because it attracted bears and bears who wander into human communities have a tendency to get shot, even if they never attack humans. It made me SO MAD that people would be so lazy and…

I wonder if this is something similar to my old GP, who was notoriously unsympathetic to his patients toward the end of his career. I hated going to him because he made me feel like a crazy hypochondriac who was making all her symptoms up, so I would avoid seeking medical care even when I really needed it. I had this…

I had a ruptured appendix when I was five years old. I was camping with my family and my parents didn’t realize how sick I was because I was being really quiet about it, so they didn’t rush me home or to the hospital. When it became apparent I was really sick, they took me to emergency but the attending doctor was…

Yeahhh, sports bras are the bane of my existence. Pretty much the only ones that fit me are hideous granny bras, which is a problem when you are a belly dancer and everyone just wears bras to dance in. Shopping for sports bras is an exercise in humiliation and frustration and I hate it.

I hate this mentality that sportswear manufacturers all seem to universally hold, that the only women who are active are women with A and B cup breasts. It’s like, hello, I wear a 30F and I dance, do yoga, run and want to support my boobs while doing so.

I laughed in the face of a salesperson who tried to convince me their “D-cup” bra (the condescendingly named Ta-Ta Tamer) would cover much more than my nipples. Lulumeon gives approximately zero shits about making clothing that fits actual human bodies.

I’m a frigging belly dancer and this made no sense to me. All that unnecessary fabric covering up my arms and making me super sweaty? No thank you please.

I can’t believe I didn’t watch this show until the second season, but I am really enjoying it for this reason. I love that Kimmy’s strength this season comes from admitting it’s ok to feel her feelings. Reminds me of the message of Inside Out (which made me cry on an airplane on a recent trip back home, btw).
