I (19F, 25F, 23F, ???F) accidentally killed my mother (5000F). My husband (25M) says it wasn’t my fault but now I have the overwhelming urge to put another guy inside this knife I got from a bunch of murderous spies. WIBTA if I don’t tell him about it?

My (25M) father (51M) is mad at me because I murdered his ex-best friend (49M) in a secluded hallway in our mountain fortress and hid the body. I only did it because he repeatedly took advantage of my father’s trust and tried to kill him on multiple occasions. AITA?

My (22M) therapy patient (35M) won’t listen to my suggestions, any advice?

Edit: Yes I did once kill him, but his soul is mostly reattached to his body and we were both just keeping our oaths at the time.

Do you think “What is it with men and asking for erections” is too wordy?

There’s a reason my favorite Sondheim work starts its finale with

“Be careful the spells you cast
Not just on children
Sometimes the spell may last
Past what you can see
And turn against you

*Be careful the tale you tell
That is the spell*”

Well, Jane Austen did say something about someone bring in possession of a good fortune needing ravioli sauce, isn’t that how the quote goes?

RFK Jr: Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol.

Trump: There's a tremendous amount of of proof or evidence. I would say as a non-doctor, but I've studied this a long time

I read the article so you don't have to.

From one writer and Swift fan to another, I get that subjectivity is the name of the game with music, but genuinely if you assert that "Bad Blood" stuck more in the cultural zeitgeist than "Blank Space", you probably don't know enough to be writing this

“The Life of a Showgirl” is the sound of an overworked entertainer reaching the mountaintop to find something worse than disappointment: burnout. Spencer Kornhaber on Taylor Swift’s latest album:

Taylor Swift’s Burnout Era

The singer has everything she ever wanted—her new album suggests that it’s all sort of a drag.

Went looking for this to save because I was applying for jobs last night and after an hour of scrolling through websites and only applying to three jobs total I cried myself to sleep, all I could see was the corporate liturgy of "required qualifications" and feel like I had nothing of use at all

There was a grad school scholarship I was not remotely qualified for & I decided to apply.

In earlier years, I’d avoid hard classes because I needed to maintain my perfect GPA. I didn’t apply to things I wasn’t qualified to apply for because failing was so brutal I couldn’t.

I wouldn’t even try.

If by “help” you mean “demand a level of detail that only a fellow creative writer would appreciate” then I am right here
