Fuck you. I lived in New York, made more than 30,000 and every day was a struggle because housing costs ate most of my income. And before you try the “move to another city” argument, I worked for the City of New York and therefore needed to be where my job was. And I had a roommate. Any place that I could have moved…

I would never blame the victim

If you are unable to understand my clearly written, thoughtfully executed reply, then you are part of the problem

But the golden rule never truly applied to women when women were never considered equal to a man. Men saw themselves in other men and treated them with equality. Many saw (and still see) women as beings that were less than and different from men and therefore, needed to be treated differently. If the golden rule…

If it makes you feel better, my period is heavier, longer, and with terrible cramps with my copper IUD. And I still wouldn’t trade it in

Then maybe this is the one you skip. And that is ok. As long as you are ready to make the leap when you know you need to make it. I believe in you =)

I second the exercise rec

I turned on my computer (instead of just scrolling on my phone) just to write to you and encourage you to go to the job fair.

Happy someone said it because all I could think while reading this was, “why engage when blocking is easy?”

Say it louder for the people in the back

My mother taught me that you don’t have to look poor even if you are poor. And we were/ are poor. This meant knowing how to pick items from low cost stores that were still well cut and well fitted. Or going to discount stores like Century 21 for marked down designer items. I make pennies, but my wardrobe would never…

Who was the other president?

I read that American eggs are washed, which removes the protective coating and therefore have to be refrigerated. However, eggs in the EU are not washed the same way and still have the protective coating and should not refrigerated because the coating will encourage the growth of bacteria in a cool, moist environment.…

Thank you! I hate when I’m in a group of international people and they are speaking English because they all know that is the only language I’m fluent in. (Though I am currently busting my ass to become fluent in another so I can finally leave my current job)

With Trump in office, I can totally see and bunch of departments doing just that. However, when police decide to just stop doing their jobs in New York following the murder of 2 cops, crime rates actually stopped by a rate larger than could be explained by the work stoppage.

I argue that if everyone who could, did sue and cities had to bear the brunt of their aggressive tactics, eventually they will change course and start holding the responsible officers financially liable. I saw somewhere that the infrastructure projects that most major American cities need could have been funded with…

My rage for you is immense, I am so sorry your “friends” could not give you the support you need. Especially the person that said you almost ruined their relationship. Like, your being violated is worse than him actually violating some. Fucking people sometimes

Some people LOVE babies, and actually mourn when their kids get independent. I could see the moms breastfeeding to an older age in this category.
