Every year since 1989 I have cried on December 6th, as that was the day of the massacre of 14 women at L’ecole Polytechnique in Montreal. Today was the first time since I was 13 that I have felt hope behind the sadness. The choice Time made to proclaim these women Person of the Year, is amazing to me. Abusers are…

I was a serial monogamist for about a decade. Then I spent a few years being pretty slutty. While being slutty, I met this guy and then I married him. I wouldn’t have met him if I was stuck in yet another mediocre relationship, so I am 100% pro getting off the wheel of serial monogamy.
Sorry. Be kind to yourself.
My boyfriend of 7 years (we met when I was 19 and he was 21) broke up with me a little over 2 weeks ago. We’d been living together for 4 years and it came out of nowhere and I’m fucking crushed. I’m in the same boat as you - I really want to stay single for a long while, but I’m worried I will slip into a serial…
I dunno if you have these where you are, but Gameworks and Dave & Busters might be a good place to start
As a nerd, I recommend going to a star wars debut night party. There should be one near you, maybe at a local arcade or nerd bar. I’m lucky that in Vegas there’s lots of those sorts of places around, but even one might be a good place to find a nice bunch of girl nerds to hang with and forget about men for a while? XD
I’m here for any venting you need, hun. Do you live in a city where you can go out and do anything fun alone?
I coached a bunch of middle schoolers at a robotics competition today. Seeing all those kids giving up a Saturday for science and engineering makes me optimistic for the future.
Congratulations, you have contributed to why people don’t come forward!
Oh wow, I’m so sorry. The *entire college* is on strike? I’ve never heard of that before. What for?
I went to Rhinebeck last weekend so I am FULL UP on gorgeous new yarnies but I’m forcing myself to finish my WIPS before I cast on anything new (let’s see how long this lasts).
Right now, I’m working on a pair of self-striping socks that just look SO COOL, even inside-out (too bad I had to frog these because I didn’t…
Happy Halloween weekend everyone!!!!!
Job thread:
A few weeks ago I posted about my dog, Buster, who was just diagnosed with a degenerative spine disease. After a week of trying to keep him on bed rest, it became painfully clear that there’s no way I can do it properly (I live on the second floor, and he refuses to poop anywhere on our block, let alone the apartment…
Craft Thread!
Poor Donal Logue. As a dad myself, I can only imagine what this poor guy is going through. Not knowing where my kid is or if he’s safe is the stuff of nightmares. I really, really hope there will be a happy ending and he gets to hug Jade again. I really hope she’s safe.
My racist boss (who claims not to be racist because is wife is Mexican) burned himself on a trip in Hong Kong and tells his “hero story” of how he just wrapped up his hand and flew back to the US before having it looked at. I told him that Hong Kong has an excellent healthcare system and he looked at me like I was a…
Yes, it’s scary. Yes, I worry about the world my kids are growing up in. Yes, I worry about them being able to breathe air and not die in a nuclear attack. But this is life. It’s been horrible - and wonderful - since the beginning of time. We just have to live.
