DaphI still get this awful feeling in my stomach whenever my boyfriend and i run into his ex while out and about.
CyanicenineVox had an interesting piece about the wage gap a few months ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13XU4fMlN3w
Also if you are trying to cram in more vlogs, news, etc, into your life, I've discovered that you can listen to most people speak at 1.5x and sometimes 2x and still understand everything perfectly fine. Just hit the gear icon on youtube to change the speed. I've upped my consumption of lecture type videos due to using this, works really well for slow talkers.

taylornickyYou know that feeling when your heart is so warm and you're so in love with life that it almost hurts? Like I want to take in every second of the day and breathe it all in. Listening to the birds chirp and enjoy the shade for the sky even if it is gray. That's me. I'm feeling extra grateful this morning. I'm not sure exactly why it's moreso this morning, but I love this. I'm so excited to turn 22 and to graduate from college. Everything is happening, and rather than fighting time, I'm coasting with it and appreciating it.

dkirsewow when you're cute as fuck
I think you love life cause you're friends with me ;) anyway, stoked for hot springs this weekend, stoked for your birthday, stoked to celebrate your graduation with ya and stoked to see where you go in life. keep coastin'. proud of you, my friend!
DaphThe Great British Baking Show is seriously the most quaint, awesome cooking competition I've ever had the pleasure of watching. Now every time I'm in the kitchen I'm gonna be talking as british as possible.
CyanicenineAnyone else here sometimes wish they were a snowboarder just for the community of rad snowboard ladies? I went to a ladies day event last week and we actually had a pretty large park posse of about 10 women who were all cheering each other on, it was awesome. Except... I was yet again the only skier. All the skier women always choose to go with off with the all mountain skill groups and never the park group.
Anyways I'm breaking out the snowboard tomorrow and gonna see if I suck any less from the last time I tried it 3+ years ago. I'm sure I'll get frustrated and go back to skiing quickly but at least the spring slush is soft to fall in.
dkirseI really want to get into snowboarding for so many different reasons! I never thought about the fact that there is a whole community of other rad ladies out there. I feel like all skiers will be good at snowboarding but a lot of snowboarders don't even want to try skiing....why is that?
Anyway, good luck with breaking out your board. I'm jealous, I wish I had one!
jaimegilfishGuys. I need some help. HAs anyone been on the birth control YAZ or Yasmin???

ErikaaaNo but I remember a big commercial about how bad that bc was for you when I was younger and then offering compensation for shit that went wrong if that helps. :x
little_booI take generic Yasmin now (Ocella), I have taken 'normal' yasmin though when my normal pills were out!
jaimegilfishIts really fucking messing with me, I'm taking myself off them now. I already had anxiety and depression (minor) but i have a feeling it was Yaz stopping me from being able to deal with feelings and thoughts or even when people say things to me i often took it the wrong way etc
little_booThat blows, I'm sorry! I've been lucky enough not to have any of the side effects, but none of my girlfriends can be on it because it plays with their emotions SO much
taylornickyThis is the first birthday I've really been depressed about. I feel really old. Like my life is supposed to really start now and I'm supposed to get married and have kids and a 9-5 job? Fuck that. I'm not ready. Can I go back to turning 20?? Fuck
little_booWhyyyyy is it so difficult to find cute shorts that fit. I have a smaller waist, but apparently some beef chunks for thighs- half of the shorts that are small enough for my waist get stuck on the thunder thighs. I found an amazing pair of hemp shorts from Patagonia, but even they were too tight... Fingers crossed the larger size works. Otherwise I give up and I'm living in Lulu shorts and spandies, noshame
safarisamHave you tried KAVU shorts?? They work for me!!

panoskisI'm new to this and figured what better place to make my first post than to all the ladies !! Currently thinking of all the dogs I can pet and how pumped I am to meet all of u
DaphThe Handmaid's Tale is fucking terrifying
CyanicenineI really enjoyed the MaddAaddam series but I can't bring myself to read The Handmaid's Tale. It sounds like the kind of book that could really mess with a person. I learned my lesson with Cormac Mccarthy's The Road;
"Just remember that the things you put into your head are there forever." he said. "You might want to think about that."
"You forget some things, don't you?"
"Yes. You forget what you want to remember and you remember what you want to forget."

solid.sevenmy boyfriend and i were snapchatting and I sent him a photo of my butt, which is admittedly average, maybe below average, idk. it was mostly a joke. but he suddenly stopped opening my snaps so he hasn't seen it yet AND THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME. OPEN IT AND PRETEND IT WAS FUNNY PLEASE. AHHHH.
panoskisI'm dying for an update when he opens it

el_mn_opI'm drunk desperately trying to finish a final project for tomorrow and I sliced LARGE junk of my finger off with a fresh exacto blade and freaked the fuck out and now I'm not really sure what to do with all this adrenaline and the project isn't done yet and I'm still drunk and fuck
It went deeper than skin, like, you can see all this weird stuff bulging out of it. Is that bad? Is it ok if I just wrap it the fuck up with bandages for a few days? Or should I see someone about this?
