Prude Shaming
There’s nothing wrong with having a lot of sex. There’s nothing inherently wrong with polyamory, open relationships, or casual, random hookups. Sex positivity is a wonderful thing. However, there IS something wrong with acting as though that is the “right” way to be sexual, and it is not okay to insist that there is something wrong with someone who doesn’t want those...

Haircut Rant
I’m grateful for the work hairstylists do. Really, I am. First of all, it’s a service job and one where I’m sure they have to put up with a lot of difficult people, I try not to be one of them. Second, I can’t cut my own hair worth crap. So I really don’t want to sound like an ungrateful brat when I say what I’m about to say.
But seriously, when I tell the...

Too many play what I call the stoplight game. Traffic signals, of course, have three colors: red for stop, yellow for caution, green for go. Good drivers are taught to stop on “red,” which functions as a “no.” But of course, even at the busiest urban intersections, no light stays red indefinitely. If you wait long enough at a stoplight, every red will become green. And when all we do ...

Allison's Bad Day
My phone was set for 9, but I was awoken around 8 when my friends’ next door neighbor kept yelling “you motherfucker!” and “get out!” at someone.

This is not a call for institutionalized censorship, you ignorant jack-asses. It’s a call for self-awareness, empathy, kindness, and possibly even **gasp** self-censorship.
You have the right to say whatever you want. However, I have the right to think you are an asshole.
For fuck’s sake. Why is this all so hard?
I swear, people will fight harder against being a decent...
