Completely with you. Even Satanism is too Christian for me. Hahaha.

Actually it has already worked. In Oklahoma (I believe) they sued to be able to put a statue of Baphomet next to the statue of the 10 commandments and won. I think a Hindu group is putting up their own statue too. It’s literally how the laws work, and that’s the point. They’re written with the intention of excluding…

Not to mention that when women go above and beyond or try to take control to make a project the best it can be, they’re frequently shut down and shunned and people just get alienated. To which I say FUCK THAT!

Wow!! I’ve lived in a northern tick-infested climate my whole life (more or less) and this is the first I’ve heard of this stuff! Fascinating. Thank you for sharing that!

Hahaha!! Slam dunk.

Ah! Wow, I think of myself as a pretty perceptive person but that had honestly never occurred to me! Makes perfect sense though. I read the Harper’s article about Morgellon’s this morning (someone linked it above) and in some ways it resonated. Like I had really bad migraines constantly for a while (turned out to be…

What IS the deal with the lyme disease thing? I have an old friend who is constantly documenting her “lyming” journey and all her crazy homeopathic treatments — I never considered that she didn’t even have lyme’s in the first place. What?! And if she DOES have lyme’s, what on earth is so bad about a single course of…

I broke out in a full-on crazy face rash when I was having really persistent anxiety. Doctors gave me hydrocortisone. Took me forever to go to the therapist. Gah! First time is the worst though. Now I know what’s happening and can get the right help.

I think it has less to do with living together prior to marriage than it has to do with getting married at a later age. Back in the day people lived with their families until marriage and literally had nothing of their own. Not so today as most people move out after highschool and get married in their mid-late 20s.…

I feel like if any of the original production peeps/writers are involved this will be excellent — they did so much with what they had to work with back in the first couple seasons. With today's production values and budgets I feel like they could do something amazing!!

And there are probably lots of religious women and people in general who think "just because I don't personally want to use these services/medications, doesn't mean others shouldn't be able to if they so choose." Hardliners just yell the loudest and drown out the reasonable people who make up the rest of the world.

As a book-reader, I never divulged a single tidbit. But I did make a super smug face at my friends when they were shocked by basically anything.

Oh god — he's the real-life Dandy from AHS: Freak Show!!

I'm not going to start an actual conversation with you as you clearly aren't here for that, but I do want to clarify, since you seem to be missing it, that this is along the lines of what I was saying. I have money and access to participate in whatever type of entertainment/culture I want. That doesn't mean that my…

Totally agree. It wouldn't be such a powerful expression overall if it was one-dimensional.

I've thought a lot about what it means to be a not-black fan of this work and of Kendrick. Which speaks volumes of what it's capable of maybe. To me it feels like a much deserved and needed confrontation, and like experiencing an alien culture in a pretty uncomfortable way - being shown very clearly that there's a…

Ahhhhhh I love seeing her get mentioned. I grew up reading the Moomintroll series and it fills me with twee Scandinavian joy (very rare combination as we are a dark stoic people).

Man. Most of the things listed here are stuff I do all the time with my husband around. I'm disqualified via total shamelessness combined with the most indulgent spouse on Earth. Luckily he knew I was like this before we got hitched.

I am married and I do all that stuff all the time. Does that mean my husband secretly resents me? Though my self-indulgence is met with his love of indulging me. He's like the superego and I'm the Id and together we make one high-functioning person.
