oh god, this reminds me of when I had just moved to grad school. In an attempt to start a new fun life, I went out drinking and the bars closed way later than in NH (they close at 1 am here-3 am in Indiana, where I moved). I was walking home when a car pulled up and asked if I wanted a ride. I said no and kept on…

the only story i have like any of these on the threads are stories where all of a sudden my body just bugged out from being on a bus or in the vicinity of some guy, like someone was telling me to get away, and any time I feel like that, I always try to listen. Especially after I read The Gift of Fear (which everyone…

I have a baby and he always smiles at random shit over my shoulder and sometimes I wonder...

My mom’s breast cancer was only found because she was able to get preventative treatment through her ACA insurance. When Trump was elected, we begged her to move to another job that she had been offered that was offering to provide non-ACA health insurance because I was afraid of something like this. I am SO SO sorry…

I don’t have anything as dire as that, but my now husband (then boyfriend) literally had a tooth rotting in his head for a year that we couldn’t afford to fix because it needed a crown. We finally paid out of pocket for it-its just fucking ridiculous.

I want everyone who voted for him to suffer. THIS is what you voted for, enjoy!!

Hey she’s not married to Doug anymore so its a start!

Ahhh good for her!

I started reading again. A lot.

I have just recently started listening to NPR again after a very long hiatus (I was pregnant and couldn’t drink so I wasn’t sure if I could handle it).

Omg Courtney!! What is she up to?

As an alumna of UNH (and a librarian) what really irks me about this is that they didn’t even spend it on the most popular sport. The men’s ice hockey team is far and away more important on campus and to the student body and alumni. Its been said down thread-but if you want the money to go to something you care about,…

My mom made my costumes and my best one was the year I was Ariel with seashell bra on a tan colored turtleneck.

That is true!!! You are a hero because I haaated being pregnant and I can’t even imagine having to suffer it with another child running around. i will need to be eternal sun-shined before that ever happens. Enjoy an occassional glass of wine-you deserve it!

It is ok. I sound like a broken record but I got pregnant last August-election night without alcohol was one of the worst nights of my life. I was so worried I had screwed this kid-turns out a baby is a really good way to get your mind off the terrible world and provide you with some hope.

Right? He literally doesn’t know anything.

I was visibly anxious during this scene and my husband was like what is your problem!?

I saw that movie with my dad in the theatre and we both have politely agreed to never mention it

I had a baby FOUR months ago and people are already asking about another. I haven’t even recovered yet from the first birth weirdo!!!

I got pregnant in August during this exam halcyon days-election night was one of the worst nights of my life-couldnt even drink it away. I love my son too but I’m not sure I would have gone for it after November.
