Also Liz Phair’s Exile in Guyville. Oh, and if you really want to ruin yourself, Fumbling Toward Ecstasy by Sarah Maclachlan.  Tori, Liz, and Sarah were my 90s break-up girlfriends. When I was ready to rebuild myself, I turned to Ani.

Simple. He tried to vote in a way that protected himself. The Trump voter voted in a way that let the wolves in. You’ll counter with “But they thought it would help”...to which I just note that there was plenty of information out there to tell them otherwise.

OK dude, stop it with the Daniel Patrick Moynahan act (google him if you don’t know who he is - he shares your fake “concern” about “Black matriarchy”)

If anything, having many female headed households has made Black men stronger - it’s probably part of the reason that Black dads are more likely to be involved with the…

I don’t know if this will help at all but I imagine what you do as an immigration lawyer means so much to your clients, now more than ever. It’s okay not to feel okay, even with ridiculously cute kids. I hope you do feel okay soon, and then more than okay.

It hit me like that too. I am in a dying marriage and reading this made me long for something that’s so rewarding. Reading it made me think that it is possible. There’s some hope.

I read that essay before I read the byline, then saw who it was written by and found myself struck dumb — by a fluke that has nothing to do with anything but luck, I had dinner with Amy Krouse Rosenthal and her husband in their home. He was indeed terribly handsome and they did indeed seem to be utterly delighted by…

I decided yesterday that I am finally pulling the plug on a marriage that has been pretty awful for a long time. I am glad that you have found hope today. I honestly don’t feel like I will ever feel hope again and I’m just so irrationally angry that this lovely-sounding woman passed away and that her family is left…

“then folks in the workplace will avoid and/or refuse to engage the transgendered in an effort to not accidentally run afoul of any interpretation of the law.”

I just commented this on a transphobic post that was all like, “In a sexual species, females have two X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y, I’m not a bigot it’s just science.” I’m a science teacher so I responded with this.

I’ve never gotten the Chris Martin/Coldplay vitriol. I mean, I don’t care about their music, but the hatred that it gets baffles me.

Wow.

And he shaped it like lipstick and fucking named it Mensez.

It’s not good for you to be miserable and really not good for your kid to see you miserable, unloved, or treated badly. I stayed for 10 years for my kid. I really wish I had left sooner because she is so much happier with us apart and she was really damaged by the dysfunction she lived in. Best of luck to you.

I assume it’s something more along the lines of “CEO’s have an important role in an organization, but are not worth 200x the average employees salary”.

skipped the article and came down here just to say HOLY CRAP CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW SNATCHED SOLANGE LOOKS HERE?! She looks like a freaking ethereal post-modern fairy princess in that geo print dress.

At my mother’s memorial mass, her therapist (!) of 12 years said to me, “I’m glad she wasn’t my mother.” All I wished is was I could have said the same.

This was the backside of one of my women’s march signs:

All white women certainly aren’t the enemy but it’s exceedingly easy to lose sight of this fact when even the progressive white women, who should know better, are so often identical to their conservative peers.

Yeah I mean that is totally possible. We don’t know anything really so anythings possible. I guess I just get reminded of that Ask Alice (??) post a while back on Jezzy where someone asked what to do if your boyfriend is friends with a creep and you keep getting told you’re crazy for wanting to get rid of him.…

I’m talking about all the people who say, “I know I’m a white lady so this isn’t for me, but I’m gonna say a million self-indulgent things about it anyway so I can feel good about myself”. Nobody cares about that shit. I do care about people who have interesting things to say about the art.
