Hi, biological anthropologist here. Yes, reproduction after 40 is hit or miss, but the human body doesn’t ‘fall apart’ after that point. We’re cooperative breeders who benefit tremendously from alloparenting, typically provided by older relatives. Providing care to a relative’s offspring enhances your own reproductive…

He is perfect in that film. The whole film is great esp the gown.

You can’t have seen Atonement then because....yeah, it makes you feel something. I want him to bang me up against a bookshelf while I wear that stunning green gown. Actually, I’d take just the gown tbh.

I noticed that it got easier to accept my changing face and body the older I got. I was clawing desperately backwards when I was 30, but now at 41, all hope is lost and that has actually helped a lot. Hope is the problem, as usual. Wrinkles were never actually ugly, and now I’ve caught up with that fact.

WORD.

I was very very into Jenny and Chris until it started to look like she left her husband for him and now I don’t feel so good about it. It just doesn’t feel fair. You already have a husband. You don’t get to upgrade mid-marriage to Captain America.

Try to be positive. My last boss made me feel insecure and shitty, so I went into my new job feeling insecure and shitty, and that hasn’t helped me win over the right folks. All of their many voiced disappointments just hit me right in the gut. It doesn’t help that it was a career change, so I was legitimately…

Holy hell. Please take over my life 4 me. I just wrote the most ambiguous text messages of all text messages in the world ever in which I seemingly, proposed to buy my friend’s ticket to Scotland for her.

I feel you. April has been a rough month for me, too. Here is Veroncia sleeping next to me.

I need some moral support. Sorry for the forthcoming rant :(

We’re going to our friends’ house in about 20 minutes for their 22nd annual Beltane party. I will drink pretty much everything: prosecco, mead, beer, idk. Then we will drunkenly run around a Maypole clotheslining each other with the ribbons.

And when it became clear she wasn’t going to win, she folded up her tent, and spent the next 5 months working to make sure her supporters voted for Obama. Bernie is at that point now, even sooner than Clinton was, and he should buckle down and do the right thing.

THIIIIS. I’m totally pro-Bernie, but will totally vote for Hillary in the general. Like, the Sanders supporters who somehow think that a Republican president will in any way be better for their goals than she will are delusional. Like, even the areas where I don’t agree with her, the Republicans are waaaay worse.

She probably meant to say “test the taste of the tea by smelling” and misspoke. If someone judged my intelligence based on the amount I misspeak they’d marvel at how I even got out of bed in the morning.

At Starbucks, I am Jessica. It’s just easier for everyone.

Did she have a brother named Pterodactyl?

People like Dick Cheney will live forever out of sheer spite.

I’m only 43 and I’m “feeling it.” Not physically, but psychically — everything starts to REALLY speed up after 40, and shit just gets real. The next 40 years are not going to be like the first 40, that’s for sure. For all the “90 is the new 25!” talk of the 21st century, there is still a massive shift in thinking when…

Me, too.

66 is pretty young. Life is short, people! RIP, Garry.
