My friend is religious, and also very seriously ill. Since she got sick, loads of church members have been pushing books onto her about ‘The meaning of suffering’ and how it's all a gift from God. I find it deeply distasteful.

Huh. If money really is that tight it is incredibly sad (not that it wouldn’t be otherwise). The thing that hit me the wrong way was her tweet. Admittedly, I’m an atheist, but it seems so awful to me that she has to be positive and thankful to god when she is sharing such devastating news.

This has nothing to do with the post, but my boyfriend and I just decided to elope in Zanzibar this summer and I’m too happy and excited to not tell *someone*

It's great when the right people find eachother! Congrats!

Mazel tov! Your description of falling to your knees in happiness full out brought tears to my eyes and I’m crying a little over how beautiful your story is. And the ring is gorgeous!

OOOOO BEAUTIMOUS.

Your ring is so beautiful! Congrats!

OMG CONGRATS!! Your ring is gorgeous too!!

Brilliant. I wish I could star you more

How is that car even worth $90k. I wouldn’t pay a dime over $35k.

“But the main takeaway for researchers, and us, is simple: Why marry the cow when living with it will do just as well?”

I feel the same way (although I’m not in a serious relationship). If I’m ever in a relationship that is that serious, I would be completely happy with not being married, but I can understand the societal pressure to be married (along with the convenience). Plus, it’s so much easier to say, “he’s my husband”, than it

I pretty much didn’t change my name after my marriage out of laziness, but I lied to my husband and said I Felt Strongly About The Patriarchy And My Name is My Name.

I know it can be an imbalance of power and it’s gross for that reason, but I found myself in a situation recently where I was the person saying my boyfriend “let” me do something. I have super long hair, and I was getting it trimmed and I said “my boyfriend won’t let me cut it super short.” My Stylist felt the way you

Chief restructuring officer? Is this a thing?

My god is this what MRAs sound like?
