Just want to throw some support your way. This thread is such a great example of what you said. You even said you try to be a “courteous smoker who doesn’t smoke around other people,” and people can’t even be chill about it. I really hope the people that are so offended at having to walk by a smoker who is trying…

God, yes. Sing it, sister. Took up smoking fairly recently to replace my binge drinking habit and I’m getting called out in public pretty frequently. I’m a super-considerate smoker who doesn’t hover anywhere NEAR people, will take into account where the wind is blowing, etc., and I can’t imagine why people still feel…

I love seeing smoking in film. I fell back into smoking after quitting for a little bit and goddamn people treat you like fucking shit if you’re a smoker. Even if you’re a courteous smoker who doesn’t smoke around other people. If they have ANY idea that you smoke they immediately shun you. I think people hate smokers…

Who was her handy man?

When I was on Wellbutrin (to quit smoking) I loved how felt (almost “bouncy”), my skin had a very very faint almost itch... and I wanted body contact, not sex per se, it felt like a the lowest possible dose of MDMA to me. And I had dry mouth.

If anything Wellbutrin caused my sex drive to skyrocket as Wellbutrin is not an SSRI, it is a drug that affects dopamine and norepinephrine receptors instead of seratonin which I believe is where the sexual dysfunction occurs in SSRIs.

I’m also an old married but back in the late 2000s when I was single, I was DEVOTED to condoms. I was on the pill, too, but I was a kid during the HIV crisis (and the comprehensive sex-education of the Clinton years) so I insisted on a condom every. single. time. I didn’t have sex without one until I was 30, and that…

Personally speaking, it is upsettingly difficult to get many men to use a condom. I have a Mirena IUD and don’t disclose it so they feel they “have” to wear one for birth control. Even then it can be a struggle. Le sigh!

Time for a remake of Kids but this time with untreatable gonorrhea.

Wrap it up or fap it up.

I am beginning to feel uncomfortable with what seems like an attempt to erase women, or biologically female humans, from things that only biologically female humans do. Biologically female humans have the babies, and we can’t pretend like there is no such thing as a female human or a male human—even if people who are…

Someone who obviously loves Honeycombs so much that she needs her own portable Honeycomb Hideout.

I might be a little biased, too, because Arya is my favorite character in the books and her time in Braavos is some of the best character and mythology development, in my opinion. Instead, they made it a bunch of action sequences, made the Waif her sworn enemy for some reason, made her blindness a punishment instead…

The entire way the show handled Arya in Braavos and the faceless men in general made me angry every week.

I’m knock-kneed, so there’s a wholllle lot of thigh on thigh contact going on. I basically just hunkered down in the Old Navy dressing rooms with one of every single cut/inseam/material of short they offered, each in 2 sizes, and catwalked my ass up and down the little hall until I found a pair that didn’t ride up too…

I have the same issue. I even had the problem when I was fairly thin. I think it has more to do with the very tops of your thighs and how wide set your hips are. I have inner thigh fat and my legs are naturally close together so I can’t for the life of me find shorts that my vagina doesn’t eat.

My first Melissa Etheridge concert was at The Greek in Los Angeles. The ratio seemed to be, at least to me, about 80% female, 20% male. We were walking to our seats and these two guys, early 20s, came barreling through the crowd and one of them slammed into me, almost knocking me down. I shouted “Hey!” like you do…

Yup. I think that’s an impression that’s unfortunately widespread in Europe... The one time I was groped over there the guy responded to my anger with “But you’re American, American girls are sluts!”

As an ex-pat to Sweden, I generally find the Swedes here to be cold and introverted. Never once been cat-called in the 5 years I’ve lived here, which is nice, but also the average person is allergic to saying a simple “excuse me,” so... I will say that they tend to have a much more...casual attitude about everything…

“Could you imagine the outrage if there was a male only festival? During White History Month!”
