What makes me crazy is that the critics don’t address the actual issue that not providing abortions is cruel and barbarous. They go straight for “look, they’re picking in Catholicism!” Address the actual content of the video! Sorry someone just who had an amazing skill for deflection just broke up with me, so I’m a…

I guess I’m a bit of a self racist. I’m white, mostly, a little Jewish and some other Mediterranean mix, but I look all northern European. I am sooo not attracted to white guys - especially if they’re very fair, blond or ginger. I’ve always thought it might be the latent Mediterranean genes expressing or just…

Yeah, this is me. I LOVE sex. I’m great at friendships, but for reasons I haven’t quite figured out, terrible at relationships (thank the gods for a brilliant therapist helping me untangle attachment issues). The raging, sex-crazed being who lives between my legs is often in conflict with my desire to be in a loving…

There is a Free People retailer in my town and I excitedly went in because I too LOVE their web site and clothing line but am reluctant to buy clothes online. I’ve gone into the store 3 times, hoping that all those cute, adorable boho styles will work for me. Nope. Not at all. Ever. I’m a petite size 8 who is fit for…

As a former server and a current olds who is dancing her way through perimenopause, I’d like to acknowledge that many of the horrible, no-good, awful customers embodied in these stories are middle-aged women, who sound to me like they’ve forgotten their daily dose of HRT. Sisters, I beg of you, do not take your…

This is so fucking beautiful. Thank you.

Yes. This. I ghosted someone who had been a *good* friend for a long time because on a cross-country car ride, she said some horrible things to me, in casual conversation (Nothing like being in a car with someone 12 hours a day to really get to know someone!). I was so stunned that I couldn’t speak and yes, I wish my…

There is more and more scientific evidence that all disease can be traced to childhood trauma, and/or maladaptive coping strategies, and stresses later in life. There is a new medical field devoted to this study. It’s called psychoneuroimmunology. Just one of thousands of articles tying life stressors to chronic and…

I was in Israel 2 weeks ago for a dance class, Gaga. I left too soon, it seems. I can’t wait to go back!

I’m in grad school too and lonely as hell. Ugh. This movie was the absolute reward for a week of working through my comp exam. And what a reward. Oh my god. My cohort is all women (psych program) and I’d love this played on a loop, on the large screen, when we do our walk. I’m cheering you with my imaginary 10 oz…

I’m leaving for Israel soon and I’ve been worrying/wondering about how to access my favorite pain killer/anti-anxiety/chill herb. Fortunately I’ll be traveling with friends who are weed friendly and Israel savvy. Thanks so much for this article.
