There are lots of people who take lower paying, even dangerous jobs, in the service of our country, who never see a fraction of the benefits we offer veterans. If you are a veteran who can keep it even remotely together, get a college degree, the world is your oyster. If you go into the service, I believe you get debt…

“Vote Republican: And I will screw you like I do my wife; the same old position with absolutely no chance of satisfying your needs.”

Totally! Most people I worked with lived with their parents too, even though a lot of them were in their mid twenties and had finished their associate’s degrees or higher.

I’mma try this tonight and report back. I have a lot of homework this weekend. Read Forever. Breathe sensually in the bearded chef’s ear.

That there is something nobody talks about! The discovery of sex and arousal through literature. I would bet if you did a poll, most women first heard of orgasms and female pleasure through reading of romance novels. I know I did, and thank God I read those way before I was exposed to the porn world’s idea of sex and…

That’s a pile of hot, steaming bullshit that you just spouted right there.

I think Mykonos pulls it off but that’s probably it.

Exactly. Like how an outbreak of HIV in a rural Indiana county happened because the state defunded various Medicaid services Planned Parenthood provided, notably STI testing.

I found out over the summer that my close friend’s ex-boyfriend’s parents are scientologists. They sent him to a Scientology straight camp when they found out he was gay.

That sounds fun! My post-wedding event will be a girl-bonding exercise where me and my five closest gal pals bury my husband’s body and clean up the crime scene. I’m thinking we’ll all shoot at him so we’ll never know for sure whose bullet did the killing and share equally in the blame (and maybe guilt? Have to wait…

i have been married to the same man for 15 years, together for 19. we have two children and a good life. i don’t believe all people are monogamous or suited for permanent pair bonding or that marriage is necessarily working overall or that polyamory is the answer or that married people are or should be best friends or…

My partner and I are in our late thirties / early forties. We’ve sorted through all of these issues except the last: the inevitability that things may still change. It’s what scares me, even after almost six years together. Having spent 13 years solo before we got together, I still feel a little unsettled and…

Go read Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson if you haven’t already. It is hilarious and all about her fairly difficult struggle with depression and anxiety, but written in a way that makes you feel good about decisions. Solidarity always makes me feel better when I get sucked in by depression.

I adore babysitting all of my friends’ noisy stompy crazy children. But I don’t want any for myself. I think when you know you’ll never have that crazy permanently, you can enjoy it temporarily. The fact that you are picturing it in your own life may be what makes it so hard to tolerate.

MM was on an episode of How to be Amazing with Michael Ian Black and she was hilarious and charming (obviously) and talked a lot about how in love she is with NO. They are just the best.
