I’ve lived with pretty severe bipolar disorder I since I was 14 (diagnosed only at age 28, but the symptoms set in far, far earlier than that). I know the pain of being so depressed you can’t get out of bed for days at a time, so much that even the thought of showering is too exhausting to accomplish. I know how it…

How come women can’t go sleeveless when Paul Ryan is allowed to go spineless?

I would love the chance to feud with Susan Sarandon, to throw a drink in her face and tell her to sit her privileged ass down and stop telling me that it’s great that I’m now so “energized.” Our feud would most definitely start with me saying, “Fuck you, Susan Sarandon,” and it would just all go downhill from there.

This is not an April Fool’s story but my brother and I are Irish twins (a prank unto itself) and one summer night when we were both 7 for a few weeks we had a very nice teenage girl babysitter. Her teen friends typically thought they were funny and were going to prank our sitter by coming over after dark and tapping…

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Most of the women in my life don’t have the luxury of being able to take off work. My mom and sister have both said they will participate by not spending money anywhere tomorrow. I plan on doing the same. I have class tomorrow night that is taught by a woman, and 9 of the 11 students are women. I am bringing coffee…

Fun fact: the people who will be pissed off by this skit also think the girl Ghostbusters ruined their childhood. 

Trump should not be allowed to nominate a Supreme Court Justice in the last year of his presidency #MicDrop

Same!

Mentally adding “...but in a good way.” to all horrible news I read this week.

This was my first full calendar year of sobriety and there is a Sephora near where most of my meetings are so yup, VIB Rogue this year and I don’t know how to feel about it. Pride? Disgust? At least it wasn’t booze?

Hygge? Easy. Don an elaborately knit sweater, eat herring ‘til you drop, and repress all your emotions beneath a neutral smile.

My husband used the word shade around his parents, so I felt the need to give a 10-minute explanation of the word, its origin, and correct usage— specifically throwing shade vs. a read. Near minute nine I realized I misjudged my audience and no one cared. I still finished strong and feel like I made the world a better…

He didn’t attend his grandfather’s funeral—the same grandfather he once called before every game.

Things could be okay if we’re using that sentiment. Elle Woods didn’t do the reading for her first day of law school, she got kicked out of the class, found the love of her life, stood up to sexism and sexual harassment, won her first case her first year of law school, and then she was the elected speaker at her law…

“This buffoon is going to be the puppet of Kusher, Pence, Bannon and Preibus.”

Oh ya. It’s us coastal elites who need to watch our language and tone. BE NICER GUYS 🙄

Can anyone explain to me why dumb people think people who aren’t in the country legally can get on welfare? It’s already too hard for people who have never even left the country to get government assistance.

Thank God this change happened. I’m more than elated Trump got elected, by white, brown, and black men and women. Hopefully we can return to a civil society where rule of law and self sufficiency are the order of the day.
