The Most Idiotic and Dismissive Thing You Can POSSIBLY Say To Someone Who Is Grieving

2/3/2023

Just because "your intentions are good" doesn't mean you aren't causing harm.

When someone you love, or even just like, suffers a loss, it can be hard to know what to say to them.

Which is silly. There actually are PLENTY of things you can say to them that will help.

And there are plenty of things you can say that basically mean, "Fuck you."

Valentine's Day is right around the corner -- but it doesn't matter! My Eva Via original duet, Year-Round Valentine, is about how, when you're in love, every​ day can feel like Valentine's Day.

Even Valentine's Day.

To all the hundreds of men who say "women will never be attracted to me" - Here's what you're doing wrong.

As anyone who follows my blog or Facebook knows, the two posts that consistently get the most views per month are 

What Men Don't Understand When They Complain, "It's Only Creepy If The Guy Isn't Hot

and

"Creepy" Isn't About Attractiveness. It's About Reciprocity.

Due to these posts, I get a handful of private notes and comments thanking me for my encouragement and advice (some formerly creepy guys even have girlfriends now!)... and dozens of butthurt, defensive incels who are mad that I'd give them some basic advice about how to not come across as creepy.

The BEST (And Easiest) Halloween Costume for 2022? Liar Thomas.

A post shared by Eva Glasrud (@thehappytalent)

Just a muscle man shirt ($20) and a navy blue one-piece ($20-$40) and you're set.

I don't always use my Halloween costume to make a political statement. Sure, I've gone as Sandra Fluke and microaggressions. I even went as the Little Mermaid -- before​ it was controversial! But I've also gone as Bethany Hamilton (a disabled female surfer I admire) and a spoonbill, just because I like them.

But in 2022, women's rights are under attack in a profound way -- and that attack is coming from the regressive left. 

Which is why this is the year to poke fun at anti-woman activists who want to erase women's sex-based rights, sports, and female-only spaces.

I Accidentally Used The Men's Room At Disney. I'm Now Convinced Anyone Who Would Do This On Purpose is a Sociopath.

I spend enough time mountain biking, camping, and surfing, that people assume I'm not a "Disney person."

The truth is, I freaking love Disney. As someone who loves music, art, playfulness, psychology, engineering, and business, how could I not be in awe of the magic of this place? 

But I did have one experience during my last visit to Disney that was ​not quite so magical.
