Hi Jezzies! I wish I had been here for the last SNS so I could tell you all about it, but last week I went to an admission conference at Yale! It was a bit daunting at first- we had to drive to New Haven the night before and stay in a hotel, which is why didn’t think to check SNS last week, but overall it was really…

And if you’d read my comment, you’d see that I’d Googled it and gotten insufficiently clear answers.

(DISCLAIMER: I have nothing against anyone; I am genuinely asking because I do not know. Please don’t jump down my throat.)

Hi, 17 years old with social anxiety and trouble keeping friends here. I’ve done a lot of stupid shit to get attention. The most potential harm that could have come from any of them was someone losing their job, absolute worst-case scenario with 0.0000001 probability of happening. And that was six years ago, at rock…

I feel the same way about this as I do about women being drafted: yay... shitty things that should not exist now apply to both genders equally! 😖

As an answer to your question, oftentimes I find them to be barely distinguishable from each other. For example, I was doing research for the writing class I’m starting at the senior center where I volunteer. I showed my plan to the site coordinator and she asked me what I wanted the seniors to get out of this class.…

That’s not cute. It’s fucking horrifying. That thing is going to haunt my nightmares.

Hi Jezzies. I couldn’t find a post to tack this story onto like I usually do, so I’ll just scream into the void of the greys and hope someone hears me.

I saw a video online explaining the truth about hymens. Then I realized that the reason I’d never been able to find mine was, surprise surprise, I didn’t actually have one. (Not entirely sure why- considering that I was born premature with an underdeveloped everything, it could’ve been that it just didn’t form because…

I realized that you know. I was expressing my exasperation at these people’s backwards thinking in general.

“Surprise hymen check?”

I’m still in school, but this is sort of career-related and I don’t know where else to share it: I got rejected by a summer program at Princeton University. The instructors are writers/reporters for various big news outlets, and the program supposedly helps place alumni in journalism internships once they’re in…

Oh goody a thread that I can tack a rant onto as a grey!

I’m 80% sure that was sarcasm.

Oh God his face. It’s so punchable. I want to punch it.

They could hire 19 year old pre-law majors. *That’s* how blatant this is.

I’m so sorry 😢 The same thing happened to my grandfather. He was 47 and my dad was 11. My dad has been concerned about heart issues ever since, an anxiety that he passed on to me, especially because I was a preemie and preemies have weaker hearts.

I love how her name went from “Mrs. Jason Jones” in the 1910s to “Samantha Jones” in the 40s to “Samantha Bee-Jones” in the 70s to “Samantha Bee” in the 90s... and then back to “Mrs. Jason Jones” in 2018 under President Pence. That was a *little* too real.

I see what you did there, but... is Putin supposed to be hot?*

Isn’t a safe space just a place where those who are oftentimes persecuted (minorities, LGBTQ+ people, etc.) can speak about their issues without fear of judgement or harassment? It isn’t actually the “room with pastel walls and soft music playing and kittens to pet” that people characterize it as, right?
