Do you have to disclose? Or you just want to explain? If it were me I’d just say that I have a chronic illness, I’m receiving treatment, but will need to use sick days. Because stigma, unfortunately. And also it’s none of their business just like crohn’s or diabetes or anything else.

Having a lawyer write a letter (whether or not you actually plan to do anything -empty threats are a-ok) may help light a fire under their ass?

Hugs.

I’m so sorry. I can’t imagine how much that sucks. Short term therapy is pretty good for bereavement - our culture is so uncomfortable with death that it really helps to have someone to talk with about it without having to worry about their feelings. I hope you have a nice bath or snuggle with a kitty or something…

Baking soda makes my skin super dry and tight. I use it when I’m having zitty issues but otherwise I feel like it makes my skin not hold moisture or something. But just like anything else, what works for someone else won’t necessarily work for you. Have you tried moisturizing right when you get out of the shower? I…

I don’t have any advice on the irregularity, but magnesium helps a lot with cramps and bleeding for me. There’s this stuff called “Calm” which is a slightly sweet fizzy powder you mix with water. I drank it before bed every day for a month or two and my periods chilled out a lot.

Sexual gratification doesn’t require genital orgasm. Is this really a new concept for you?

Gosh I feel for him. And I wish she’d put this in the hands of an attorney. I’m pretty sure I’m making my bitch best friend my executor because the thought of my poor partner having to wrangle my batshit mother is just... My best friend would probably enjoy it.

Even if they were just friends (they weren’t) who kicks out an elderly person who’s lived in the place for 55 years?! I don’t give a shit if you just bought the building and you’ve got every right to do so - just don’t. Hard hearted terrible people.

No. The average is a lot closer to zero, because most rapists are never prosecuted or convicted.

None of those things say “cannot donate to political campaigns or PACS”.

If he was convicted for 3 women I bet it’s more like 15

Life. Whether they go to college or not.

6 years???? Why are sexual assault sentences so small?

Hey I just want to tell you that I think you will find your way back. Investing that much into something that isn’t making you happy and isn’t validating you will naturally cause burnout. I resonate so much with that feeling of “who am I? Why did I do this??” I finished a job I’d poured everything into without success…

Wall to wall coverage with no fact checking? You mean like what he’s had from the media for the last year?

They’re not legally barred from giving money to politics.

I mean I don’t think there’s anything wrong with not getting the life story of a dude you pick up to bang at a drinking festival. How much are you expected to know about a person you literally just met? Was there some kind of dishonesty involved - did you pretend you were in love with him or something? I guess I don’t…

That’s ridiculous. What podunk place do you live in that they have time to do that?

What an asshole. If he thought you were that drunk to not know his name he shouldn’t have fucked you. What a dick - benefitting and then trying to make *you* feel bad.
