ahhhh! That sounds awful - and agree, the reason I had to stop bartending was because I just hit my limit with obviously fucked up relationships playing out (and intensifying) five feet from my face every. single. night.

you’re the best, you’ll be missed and we’ll all follow your work at the NYer.

My sister had a baby today!! She had a 70 hour labor...you heard me...seventy fucking hours. I was with her and her hubby as their do-everything person for the whole thing (and pregnancy, since we live together) and wow. She is such a warrior. The baby boy is healthy, hairy and strong and his parents are doing…

Yuuuuuup.

wouldn’t you be a little too shy to confront a childhood hero? I know I would.

dude, ambien + vin is nothing to sniff at! My one encounter led to a very awkward night where I tried to convince my roommates that our house was actually a ship and that we were being attacked by pirates. I mean, they were awesome roommates and threw apples out the windows to defeat the intruders but good golly.

Agree - but I did love Yara’s low-key seduction of Dany. I expected it but dang if it wasn’t satisfying to see Dany blush. I guess some fires can burn a dragon. Zing!

Something like this happened to a kid in my highschool - it was a bizarre accident but basically, the car rolled into him in a sloped driveway and he died because he was pinned and had a concussion.

It’s worth reminding ourselves (and our partners! Although maybe Father’s Day isn’t the best day to do this) that we are among the first generations in human history to expect the same person you had kids with to satisfy you sexually until you die.

non-phone movie disruption story: went to see The Return of the King all those years ago and sat next to an older midwestern auntie-type who loudly sighed “Oh geez.” after every. damn. thing.

good plan. also, try to avoid any deep kissing.

ah, well. you’re going to continue to get piled on because most people, having finished this powerful, affecting story, are feeling very raw. Your comment, which is right up at the top, appears small-minded and cruel. I know that’s not what you meant but it’s just how it comes across to many people. In your shoes, I’d…

What a powerful, important story. I’m so grateful to have read it and I hope that because of how honestly this woman articulated her experience, more women can feel empowered to talk about their own. The bravery of everyone from the patient & her husband to the doctors and nurses...it’s humbling and astounding.

I hate when guys like this dingleschnitzel and Trump use the deflection “I’m told” as if that absolves them from the responsibility of knowing the facts of the situation. If you are in a leadership position, you learn and then you know. This man can read, he is an adult, he can make an informed statement without…

ugh - they hide among us. I went on a few dates with this guy who seemed super nice and normal but then I mentioned offhand that I am pro-choice and he was like “I used to be...but then my college girlfriend had an abortion without my consent.” and he proceeded to tell me about how her decision to not carry his child…

Excellent

I’m sorry you’re struggling with this; I admire your faith and the actions you are taking. I agree we need to respect people’s reactions and give them space to find their moral compass but you are certainly among the very few who contribute with deeds as well as feelings.

Other possible allies:

Well that was certainly a bright spot in an otherwise gloomy tuesday morning. Thank you!

Yes - no offense at all but let’s just envision a reboot with Danai and Dwayne Johnson as B&TB. Romance, strength and love. Swoon.
