And it’s not like LaBeef isn’t charismatic or attractive. If he wasn’t he wouldn’t have had the career he has despite his myriad and chasm-like personality shortcomings, to say the least.

It isn’t petty; I was wondering the same thing. And, as armchair psychoanalysis as this is, perhaps LeBouef represented traumatised aspects of herself that she believed she might heal in him. And that Patterson’s lack of psychic wounds represented superficiality to her. I’m totally projecting, I know, but I have seen…

I’m 60, we were Kennedy Kansans who never encountered Black people in our day to day. I vividly remember my parents watching Charley on the TV, and commenting ”He’s a good Negro.” I can’t imagine what caused him to pursue success in that genre, but he busted ceilings all alone. Ballsy, handsome, plus the musical…

EVERY YEAR I get this on Christmas cards. Mrs. HISLASTNAME. Gee, thanks. You know that is not my last name. You also know I’m a doctor. Some of these people even attended my dissertation defense.

I.HAVE.NEVER.BEEN.A.MISSUS.

Not so fast. Juan was cool as shit.

I got a tip from a friend of mine to use a gold reflector when on Skype and Zoom meetings. Get a cheapo gold foil reflector or filter, either pop it over a desk lamp (I’ve got an anglepoise for this purpose), then shine the light off the nearest wall and, hey presto, you look a bit fucking healthier than a quarantined…

For me it was Neko Case and her Make Your Bed:

Wait, what? Didn’t understand??? What the hell did he think you were doing, spending money and getting shots in your butt for fun?

Single mom here—going it alone is awesome! Be a control freak! Do it all yourself :)))

Mmmmhmmm; I had a friend like that, and for your own self-preservation you have to cut them out of your life. She actually lied about having cancer to a mutual friend who had cancer, because she didn’t want to get one-upped in anything.

I know it’s shitty right now, but for what it’s worth, at least your partner is honest. A worse person would fake being on your team and hide his apprehensions, which could result in you ending up alone at the worst time, when you expected to have his support. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with having and raising a…

Late to the party as per usual. I broke up with one of my best friends for the second time a few days ago. It’s complicated. She has both Bipolar disorder and BPD but definitely with some narcissistic traits. I do not blame her for either thing. Mental illness isn’t a choice. I had rarely heard from her since I left…

I’m in the greys and no one will ever see this, but I just want to rant a little. It is fucking hard raising hormonal and horny teens during the pandemic. I walked in on mine and his girlfriend (both 15) doing stuff that I swore to the girl’s mother (bad move on my part) would not happen becasue I’d never leave them…

I’m so sorry. I don’t know shit about this, but while I imagine having a partner who wants to coparent is easier than going it alone, I’ll bet that having a partner who’s not into it (but is still a parent) is a lot worse than doing it independently. And emotionally damaging to the child. Have that baby, though!…

Oh no :( That is horrible, I’m so sorry. Good for you for proceeding with or without him.

I would love anonymous feminist support tonight.  Having period cramps for the second time this month thanks to beginning fertility treatments.  Bonus - my partner claimed he didn’t understand what I was doing, and mentioned he might back out of participating. I spent a grand so far.  And am on a path with my…

This is about my first visit back since we lost the sub-blogs, in my case GroupThink, and I hope everyone is keeping well.

Money always corrupts.  That's my main issue with "Big Bisexuality".

Gifted amateurs are the very backbone of bisexuality, keeping the discipline pure. 

Someone from Boston being racist is not news.
