Ah yes. Callisthenics. Nothing says ‘accessible to students with physical disabilities’ like good ‘ol American jumping jacks and push-ups. You sound like a parody. Yoga done with religious/spiritual overtones is generally run by actual religious organisations with educational requirements etc. Other forms of yoga are…

Oh, for fuck’s sake, no. I’ve never ever not once seen a yoga instructor wear a bindi in or out of a yoga class. And I live in Northern California. It’s just an exercise class.
Apparently the teacher offered to call it “stretching for mental health” and the school said “thanks but no thanks, we can’t come up with a french translation.”
Texas did just that back in 2010. It’s now called “Letter Math.”
True. And yet...
Like, I have been on both sides, both ghosted and the person doing the ghosting.
I am REALLY struggling with this right now. I have a friend, formerly close, that I simply don’t want to be friends with anymore. We have fundamental personality differences that I do not think are resolvable. She clearly wants to work things out and continue the friendship. I feel like I am done. And I have NO idea…
So does that make it not count as ghosting if you’ve told them and they just won’t accept and listen and so you just stop responding? Asking sincerely.
That was also because Angelina had a history, though; just ask Laura Dern.
That is exactly how I feel about it! I just checked the lyrics, and I have no basis for feeling so strongly that it’s a song about a woman whose eyes are entirely open to the fact that her partner is kind of a dog but she wants to keep him anyway, but I really do. To me, it’s a heartbreaking moment in the life of a…
I have very little basis for thinking this, but I always felt like it was a song about a woman in fairly dire straits who was depending on a kind of shitty man to keep her and their family afloat. Like, she loves him, but I never got the feeling that she was blind to his faults. It seems more like she absolutely knows…
Exactly. The narrator’s not angry or blaming her. This isn’t one of those Swift tracks; it’s closer to being the Smiths, thematically, the same kind of depressed romantic hopelessness.
I don’t see any indication that she blames her more, just that she is still connected to her ex because of their child, but she has no reason to have her former friend in her life in any way. I’m sure if she didn’t have to coparent she wouldn’t be cordial with her ex either.
Agreed. Its such a beautiful song that I can’t believe its that shallow. I feel like there are many layers to this song. Even the way she sings it sounds respectful, admiring, and intimidated of Jolene - Dolly does not describe her as some hussy. And yes, it reads mostly of the narrator’s extreme low self esteem. Just…
*hugs* Thank you!
Right??? There’s no one in the history of this world that’s heard that and thought, you know, you’re right, I WILL get over it. Why did I never think of that all along?
Over 7 billion people in the world and that so called best friend couldn’t find someone who wasn’t Shania’s husband? That sounds like a tremendous amount of hostility and jealousy on the “friend’s” part, as well as the ultimate fuck you to Ms. Twain. Truly despicable to treat another person that way, let alone someone…
My mother, who was fiercely intelligent, spent nearly a decade of her life in a religious cult, something that affected her until the day she died. The thing that broke her to the point that she was receptive to my father, who led said cult? Her husband having an affair with and then abandoning her for her best…
I work with children in mental health and have had to get a background check for every job I’ve ever had, but I’ve only ever been drug-tested for one of them, which was a summer internship.
