how can you combat such ignorance? seriously. how can someone like her become anti-racist?

"The problem is white women, who objectively have it pretty good, often drown out women of color and transgender women, who objectively have it way fucking worse."

Do you also tell them that a disproportionate number of yoga related injuries are from doing Bikram, since the heat makes it possible to stretch further than you actually should?

You can dance to U2?

Bless my SO for reminding me of his worst. He's a highschool teacher, so they got to the bar by 3pm for his holiday party. I was in grad school, didn't show up until 5pm, and it was like walking through the looking glass, they were all WASTED. 5 pm, and they had already done like 3 shots of tequila, that they…

My birthday is exactly a week before Christmas, and as such, is almost always the day that my office chooses to have their holiday party. This has happened several times over the years with various jobs, and it is generally uncomfortable and has occasionally gotten weird.

The most memorable, however, was several…

Well, this story isn't from a holiday party, but it was an office party, and I sure as hell did make an ass out of myself. It was my first big party at my first real job; I was in charge of planning the day's activities, so naturally I was in panic mode for an entire week straight before the event. I wanted to impress…

OMG these Youth Asylum guys totally gave a suprise free concert at my middle school. We got a free demo on cassette tape LMAO. All I remember is one of them took off his shirt and rubbed his nipples and us kids were like "wtf is going on". There was also some weird older dude that sang too, he gave a rose to one of my…

Oh, you misunderstand. She's doesn't want transparency because it's a report about Bush War crimes. If they were Obama era policies, she'd be tap dancing naked with the report playing on the largest TV in Times Square while she asked everyone she knew if they're read it yet.

my grandparents have been married for 50 years but my memaw almost left my papaw in the late 60s because she found out he was gambling all of his money away. she got a job and started saving up to leave; he realized what she was doing and begged her to stay and quit her job, and said that he would quit gambling. she…

I can't stand all the weird spellings. My eldest will be attending private school, and there are so, so many weird spellings of names. I don't get it, you're just asking for your child to have to spell their name to everyone for their entire life.

lol my mom was "mad" at her friend for stealing the name brendan from her. i mean, she had a girl, and i was born 2 or 3 years later so it was a relative nonissue. but when i asked her what my name would have been if i was a boy, she said that she always liked brendan, but her friend stole it.

I think the closest I came to wanting to look like Barbie is wishing certain outfits came in my size.

we used to steal our brother's gi joes and other boy dolls to have sex with our barbies and other assorted dolls.

I came here to post something like that, because my sister and I had many Barbies, but we used them as characters in various grand adventures that we created. We were crazy about horses as little girls, so our most common script involved Barbies who captured wild mustangs and trained them to become show horses and…

Right! When I played with dolls, it wasn't "passive". There were plotlines. There were adventures. My favorite Barbie was actually my ugliest one. I named her Misery and she was a fully flushed out character.

I can see this, I guess, but I also sort of think that's missing a lot of the point of Barbie. My sisters and I had, like, 26 Barbies when we were kids. Our favorite ones weren't the ones that were doctors or race car drivers or movie stars or whatever; in fact, that stuff stops mattering the second you get that doll…

Nobody should be told about Olive Garden.

I love all these pieces conplaining about Millennials because they're really complaining about Boomers. We're spoiled because our Boomer parents spoiled us. We're materialistic because older generations marketed shit to us relentlessly.

Also that no one our age can afford to buy stuff when it's NOT sale because economic legacy of the boomer generation mmmmmm thanks, guys.
