I find direct commends with a ‘please’ gets shit done. And if it doesn’t, then, with a large smile on my face, I let them know I wasn’t asking and then thank them for getting on it. The ‘thank you’ ends the conversation nicely.

I can’t deal with men lately. I work in an office by myself and it has made life far more enjoyable. But yeah, doing shit gently is pretty pointless. The only reason people want you to ask nicely is because it’s easier to ignore.

I liberally use the word fuck and own several Emily Post books. I promise to be a very…

WHITE HETERO CHRISTIANS ARE THE LEAST PERSECUTED PEOPLE IN AMERICA

Seriously, Christianity is FULL UP on martyrs. NEXT

“I’m an old redneck hillbilly, that’s all I’ve got to say. Don’t come knocking on my door.”

There was little risk of anyone assuming otherwise, sir.

Agreed. I give 0 fucks but am entertained.

But if you want people like that to come around, you have to give them credit when they do get something right, not just tell them they’re bastard coated bastards because they didn’t make a complete 180 in the time you’d like. Still advocate for those issues and push leadership and keep the conversation going, but…

That's my student loan debt. I'm trying to keep it under $4000. My previous marriage was a fancy to-do and it was under $10000 for sure.

I knew it. There was no way. Between all the obvious fucking questions with the foundation and everything... Just fucking sick.

Um, you were at BWW. That’s to be expected. They’re an indoor, sit down restaurant that serves food out of paper receptacles. That’s where they’re at with effort.

I am 99.9% sure that as soon as they were informed the kitchen was running behind and it would be awhile they thought, “Awesome, gonna save money on tip. Eat up, kids!”

They also don’t get that we can’t tell who is a rapist and who isn’t until they try to rape us or have a history/record/reputation, and even then we’re usually expected to give people the benefit of the doubt.

Oh, I'm so sorry!!! I didn't realize I had replied to you instead. I really appreciated your comment!!

I thought this was covered in “money, support, resources.” I had no insurance or access to services, despite working three jobs. Like I said originally, I’m not apologizing for my decisions because they bring up icky feels for you. My situation ultimately ended best case scenario for ALL parties involved.

Because life isn’t as easy as celluloid would have one believe. You have to have money, support, and resources to leave. In fact, it’s only because of my affair and someone telling me that I had value and wasn’t a disgusting, cold-hearted, fat cunt, but actually someone who had value and things to offer and could do…

I used AM after telling my spouse for 6 years that if he had no interest in fucking me that I would eventually find someone that did and may or may not let him know. When I finally left him, he admitted he’d never been attracted to me but that I was the type of person to settle down with. If you expect someone to…

I cackled and snorted.

I belatedly give Ke$ha props. I've come to appreciate her.

My dad is in the Ranger Hall of Fame. When I commented to my parents that this was so meaningful to me because as a little girl it wasn’t an option for me to follow in his footsteps I was told my generation thinks we should be able to do anything we want regardless of if we can. Ouch.
