I’m so sorry for your loss. This was such a moving and beautifully written piece; it made me cry. Pets occupy such a special place in our lives, and having such a non-judgmental source of comfort makes the hard […]

I do love this song! Growing up, Peter Paul and Mary was on constant rotation in my mom’s car, along with Cat Stevens. I knew the song was sad but I still thought it was pretty and I’d always sing along. On the […]

YES. 90s pop is all I listen to when I’m working – it strikes the perfect balance of making me happy and not being too distracting. I can listen to it, sing-a-long, and write articles at the same time.

I loooove this movie! But my heart belonged to the Disney channel original movie Brink! starring Erik von Detten. It’s about competitive rollerblading. I had no interest in rollerblading as a youth but I did have […]

Cool! I just started listening to the show – I think I’m on episode 5. I’m glad to hear that it gets even better. I wouldn’t say I “love” it yet but I definitely like it, and I like the idea of listening to a […]

I don’t think I’m a full-blown “death hag” but I have been known to get lost in a WIkipedia wormhole of serial killer history. I just find it horrifyingly interesting. I hate horror movies and slasher films and […]

Greeetingz. I’ve been a long time reader/lurker of Persephone and also Jezebel, especially Groupthink, After certain controversial posts on Jezebel a year or so ago I started reading Persephone,,. And then today I […]

Looks delicious! I also recently became vegan and chili is one of my favorite meals.

Oy, this post left me quaking in my boots … one of my best friends is getting married in a few months and I am a de facto bridesmaid. I’m not actually allowed to be in the wedding party because I’m not Korean […]

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I signed the petition. I’m always surprised when someone I think of as progressive/liberal says or does something so overtly transphobic … I guess there is still a lot […]

My little sister. She possesses all of the qualities I like about myself without the negatives, and she hasn’t been trod on by life yet and just has so much potential. Watching her grow up and become even more […]

I try to always have menthol cough drops on hand for when I’m sick. They taste nasty but for me they really do help with the coughing without having to take any medication. I’m currently sick and live in LA where […]

Edit: A really old episode of This American Life, which is *on* NPR :)

It’s so crazy to see this posted – yesterday I was listening to a really old episode of NPR (“Get Over It”), and one of the stories was a woman talking about how she would get the tingly feeling in her head after […]

Congrats! I believe that’s what they call “killing it”

Thanks! I’m trying to ingrain it into my schedule so exercise becomes just a matter of habit, as regular as taking a shower or eating lunch…that way getting out won’t seem like such a monumental task!
