I’m conflicted, though I see a lot with your view as well. There is a scary future for the young, but I have a hard time giving late 30s - mid 40s Joy a pass on this. Most people aren’t evolving endlessly once they’ve fully formed and knowing she was still pulling shit as of last year makes it seem as though this…
“She gets tired of men sometimes.”
I don’t care how crass or bat-shit her blog postings were. If nothing genuinely current and disrupting is happening with her leave her alone. People want this Black woman to lose her job and career. I don’t.
This is me right now.
I agree that it’s important to acknowledge the pain of adolescents who are struggling with mental health issues and trauma, but I don’t think shows like this are an effective way in which to do that. Without the appropriate tools and real-life supports to process shows like this and cope with whatever they’re going…
Epidemiologists can literally map the spread of suicide as if it was an infectious disease. Sharing graphic images and glorifying those who commit suicide via depictions of everyone focusing on them and having cathartic emotional breakthroughs triggered by their deaths is statistically the same as coughing on them…
My friend’s school system embraces the “know the child” philosophy, but I have reservations about this series (and the original book) because of the “reasons.” While they may be relevant to teenagers (I’ll kill myself to spite all of you) but the way it places blame is really dangerous, in my opinion.

(Adapalene, the active ingredient in Differin, is actually more photostable than tretinoin, not less.) The fact that you’re using it under sunscreen, however, mitigates that to some extent. The…
I’m a social worker and I watched both seasons.
THIS! Retinoids can HUGELY increase your skin’s UV sensitivities, resulting in *increased* sun damage! One of the very things you’re trying to prevent/reverse!
Cheers, darling!
Please refrain from insulting the developmentally delayed by associating them with Roseanne/Trump tweeters. That’s vocabulary Roseanne herself would use and then be disingenuous and claim her nephews son was a retard so how could not be anything but a joke, blah blah. It’s gross. Do better. Just because you find…
There’s a WaPo article about a new sociological study that found that white racial resentment drives negative attitudes towards welfare and, SURPRISE!, this attitude shift started in 2008. Golly, gee, what happened in 2008 that whites felt so resentful about?
It me.
I love Jennifer Garner, but I can’t support this. It’s conservative propaganda masquerading as an action film.
