hi! this: “The good news is, there is no way to do 135 crunches a day correctly, if by correctly you mean “in a way that will make a goddamn bit of difference,” particularly given your diet, so I think you can probs relax about them. The only restaurants in New York required to post calorie counts are chain… Read more
It’s interesting how I hear the marriage isn’t feminist thing and I think “maybe you should understand how things evolve though history and in there are a myriad of social contexts you aren’t considering... also maybe stop telling this to a FUCKING LESBIAN YOU HETERO NORMATIVE PIECE OF SHIT.” Read more
HI YEAH WELL THE DUDE I’M CURRENTLY GOING TO THE BONE ZONE W IS RELATED TO MARTHA AND I JUST REALLY NEEDED TO SHARE THIS INFORMATION BECAUSE I THINK IT IS SUPER COOL Read more
Why is MY choice YOUR problem? Read more
Seriously. Good for you, but don’t humblebrag. Read more
My small wedding was planned on a Sunday morning just so we could have the “reception” at an all-you-can-eat champagne brunch that I love at a hotel. You gotta do you on your special day. Read more
No kidding. This is my dog (schnauzer mix). The only person he’s ever bitten is me, but we’re terrified that he’s going to bite someone else. And this is a problem, because this poor dog NEEDS to be socialized with humans (he wasn’t when he was a puppy, surprise) but we don’t know a lot of people in our area and it’s… Read more
Cue anxiety attack. I am officially 1 year and a day from my wedding and have literally $70 to my name. I have cut back on all expenses (buh-bye, Netflix, I will miss you!) and don’t splurge on anything and it still looks like I will need to get another job to contribute anything to our wedding. Budgeting for the… Read more
Yep, if you spent more than $40 on your wedding you are an idiot who cares more about pageantry than your actual marriage. That’s how that works! Read more
Agreed 100%. Your wedding is yours, and if you know what it costs and have the means to pay for it without starving or ruining your credit, there’s no shame in celebrating as you want to. I’ve been to weddings up and down the price spectrum, and what matters is that the couple is happy and in love. You do you. Read more
This is great. There’s so much shaming now about wanting to have a “nice” (whatever it means to you) wedding. Humblebrags from brides who held a bouquet of organic lentils in the courthouse and couples who chose to buy a house/go travelling instead, or those who spent $5000 on their wedding in 1970 with zero… Read more
wait, what? Read more
I think it’s partly just due to people not noticing your ring. I noticed no decline in street harassment after getting engaged or married - they aren’t looking at your hand! Even guys who speak to you often don’t notice. I worked 2 weeks at a new job wearing my rings every day and many of my (male, some quite sleazy)… Read more
my headline? “i thought my giant pregnant lady belly would act as a shield against men. nope.” Read more
It didn’t fully hit me that harassment... I mean “compliments” had nothing to do with me (but everything to do with power) until some guy hit on me all day at a seminar as I was 7 months pregnant. My belly (with wedding band) wasn’t a deterrent. A ring won’t do shit. Read more
When I lived in Ireland, a radio DJ did a survey where he asked girls who weren’t engaged or married to wear a wedding/engagement ring when they went out one weekend, and email in if their experience was the same as usual, or if they got hit on more or less than usual. It was almost 100% more. Read more
