Mostly it’s simple stuff. My spouse is obsessed with Chipotle and if I know she’s having a bad day, I’ll grab her regular order to take home and surprise her. The closest Chipotle is 35 minutes away (one way, it takes an hour an half total per Chipotle trip) so things like that are what she thinks of as “gifts”. I…

Look for all the other ways that he shows love for you. I’m more like your guy—my family is all fucked up around gifts and I just suck at giving them as a result. My spouse is from a family of thoughtful gift givers and the way she deals with my fine yet functional and boring gifts is to remember all the things I do…

We matched them by “category” so we mainly raced ones of the same kind, but the shitty hard plastic vibes dance around the table and eventually land over the finish line at some point.

My coworkers and I would race them.

Yes, thank you!!!

Damn, I’ll have to wait to see it. I live in Nowheresville, Oregon and we don’t have any theaters nearby that are playing it. I’ll keep an eye out for it streaming, and I’ll check out the Lobster!

I’ve been wanting to watch that! It’s not available for streaming, is it?

Yes. I moved to a tiny town to go to school and it’s Guns and God country. I can’t deal.

As someone married to a Muslim lesbian who wears hijab and occasionally niqab, thanks for being a voice of reason here.

My spouse is a Muslim lesbian who wears hijab regularly and occasionally a niqab. She wears the niqab specifically to prevent men from objectifying her. If a man comes up and starts a conversation with her while she’s wearing niqab, she can be pretty certain that he isn’t doing so because he wants to fuck her. She…

I think E! was trying to reference a line from his new song that mentioned shade, which makes their tweet even more hilarious and try-hard-y.

My dad tried to force me to watch Jessica Jones, despite knowing that I was raped and am in therapy once a week to deal with it. When I got up to leave the room once I read the Netflix title, my dad asked why I was leaving. When I said “I don’t have therapy for another week because of the holiday” he said “You really…

Same but I’m the same age as JLaw and I definitely wouldn’t date him, tho.

I’m really over all the holier-than-thou Facebook posts from privileged assholes about how they don’t care about other people’s politics and they won’t be unfriending people over their views. Like, I’m sorry that I don’t want people who voted against my worth as a human being in my life? ugh.

I’m training to be an ASL-English interpreter and Canada is our back-up plan. We’d love to meet your family and be away from all of this. I hope your family is okay and finding a new lease on life. Much love. <3

I have numerous pre-existing conditions and I’m right there with you, without the ACA I’d be completely fucked with my multiple chronic illnesses. I’m sorry you’re in this shitty boat with me. 

Much love to you and your spouse. solidarity from your family to mine. ❤

I’m so sorry. My spouse also avoids going out and avoids places where she’ll be alone with strangers. it’s not for the same reason, but I’m so sorry and solidarity. Hugs to you.

As I’m comforting my Muslim spouse as she sobs about what this means for her, I don’t have time for nausea. I just want her to be okay. I want to live in a place where an interfaith lesbian couple with disabilities aren’t seen as the enemy. I’m tired of our lives hanging in the balance every goddamn election because…

Hey, congrats on starting therapy. I’ve been in therapy for two years after being raped 5 years ago and I don’t know how I would have made it through this election without therapy. I hope you and your therapist click and you’re able to heal from whatever you’re dealing with.
