Ok, so I totally agree with everyone’s comment that his statement—“I mean, it’s true, bro. In film school, life, whatever, they’re equipped to do this job, in many ways, better than us. They’re infinitely more complex than we are. Stronger and sharp”—while potentially flattering is extremely naturalistic and damaging.…

as a former nanny, teacher, and coach of 13 year olds, and the aunt to a few of them. Yes. Yes, and more yes. This is a much more appropriate push present.

Yeah my ex boyfriend shaved his head before disappearing to commit suicide.We think it was so he was less easy to identify because his biggest feature was his red hair

ugh this in interaction reminds me of my in-laws.

In situations like this I just want to always say... “let me google that for you.” but no one seems to ever get my sarcasm.

UGH this DRIVE ME CRAZY. The damn copier tells you how to fix it! JUST FOLLOW THE PICTURES ON THE LITTLE SCREEN. Sorry the yelling is not at you but at my co-workers.

already replied that this is pretty much my husband, but I was reminded of an occurrence when the importance of this all clicked for him. I’m a teacher and a club volleyball coach, so I often have like no time to do anything during the week or the weekend (volleyball tournaments take up like all day one or two days of…

THIS so much. All these things. I keep trying to convince my sisters-in-law of how important all of these are.

Yeah, my mom can’t really talk about it. The only thing she can is “both my children needed help and I didn’t know what to do.” She then also kept telling me as a teenage how my brother was a victim too because of all the court case stuff... which was a huge problem for my self esteem and stuff long term. But…

I was molested by my brother as a pre-teen. Sexual assault in the family s so freaking complicated. And my family reacted in relatively healthy ways, and it’s still a freaking mess. My parents found out about it when i tried to kill myself at 15. I was in the psych ward for a month, and my psychiatrist reported it to…

You’ve pretty much described my husband. But I think I got really lucky. Plus since he was the youngest of 7, he just kind of had to learn to take care of himself. And I think having 4 older sisters helped him to be more emotionally in-tune (although that has also improved through our years of couples counseling).

In all honesty I did not watch the debate (because DNC, saturday night, really?), and now I can’t because we forgot to set the DVR to record it.But this comment just reminds me of this...

I liked Gatsby when I had to read it again for my English degree in College, but I read it the first time as a 15 year old and did not get it at all. Mostly because my teacher really just gave us reading quizzes and had us write a poem based on the book’s cover, and then I think we wrote an essay? But there was…

Ahh when I heard Gatsby Themed party, I was thinking it meant that at least two people would wind up dead and that everyone else would end up disillusioned with the gilded, lonely lifestyle of excess and consumerism.

Kylie looks like a shrunken head here.

this is my favorite gameday sign ever

this would be my gameday sign.

This was about.... 6 years ago when my now husband and I moved into our house, and two of his fraternity brothers were visiting for the week. The morning after I had been their DD, Mr. Tangle and I were getting busy in bed, and I gave him a blowjob, after which literally every muscle in his body contracted and he…

yeah this is often how they would have students refer to me when I substitute taught and student taught. Although it was how the higher ups would introduce me and not at all how I would have wanted to be called by students.

Growing up usually we referred to people’s parents as “Mr. So and so” or really just like “Hey Becky’s mom!” Generally if they were close friends we had a more friendly nickname for them. I don’t think I ever actually referred to people’s parents by their first names until I was in my 20s, and if I’ve known them since…
