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.

Rhett, you’ve made a rather confusing mistake with the year of the 7.2% increase in total motor vehicle crash fatalities - it’s 2015, not 2014 that reported that increase over the previous year.

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…

Hey Jezzies!

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.

Poor Southern farmers still fought to uphold slavery. And they did it explicitly because they wanted to continue to be above black people in the social order. So fuck em.

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…
