When I had to choose between medicating my anxiety or my ADHD, I never realized how shitty things were about to get. I might have chosen the Klonopin.

You are definitely not alone in this. I’ve been unemployed since last December and even then I was making less than a quarter of what I was making in 2010. I made near 6 figures back then. Now I’m on SNAP (until January) and Medicaid and despite crippling and debilitating depression (Medicaid currently pays for my…

I refuse to watch him speak. Even the quick blurps on morning news, I mute it. I also try to change the channel. He reminds me so so so much of my father at the height of his alcoholism. I also refuse to let my impressionable toddler see him on the television (or any of his circus clowns) or hear his voice. He’s only…

Seriously, what absolute unadulterated HORSESHIT. And from Mother Jones and LA Times to boot?!? “Check out these cute guys, ladies! They think you should just lay off that feminism garbage. I mean, wouldn’t you rather get out of the workplace, make some cookies and not express any opinions on anything ever again?”…

This is really fucking disgusting

Sorry, the media are too busy showing us how cool Nazis are.

Sending you some bipolar solidarity. I feel you on the crying. The hilarious twist to all of this is that he’s exacerbating mental illness and then he wants to take our health insurance away.

Y’know... I have bipolar disorder, which comes with a fair amount of depression in the winter. I struggle with it every year. It’s not often I go more than a day without breaking down into tears between November and April, and that’s in a good year.

I am boycotting his speaking. I didn’t watch the victory speech. Didn’t watch 60 minutes. I didn’t watch this video. I won’t watch any speeches of his, because I know they are all bullshit. He means none of what he says. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about and watching his crap will do nothing but ruin my day.

I can’t bear to hear (and/or see) him speak anymore. I turned off the TV mid-victory speech and that’s it. That voice burns holes in my heart and soul.

This is.....not normal. We’re fucked.

We need to begin the formation of independent, local progressive news rags so we have even the most rudimentary of independent, progressive news sources in case things go full 4th Reich. I mean, even if we all just, locally, write about what we see/hear/read we’ll have some sort of collection of independently written…

They probably thought they had to tell him given he clearly thinks they’re something he should ditch all the time. You know, when you think you’re helping out a classmate who didn’t study to catch up but really he just wants to mock you for being a nerd.

What the hell is wrong with these people. You don’t have a meeting with the President-elect to discuss what the press pool is. That’s ridiculous. At most you’d meet with the chief of staff or more likely the press head (if there is one yet, maybe not). This is so bizarre, I can’t understand how they didn’t know they…

One would HOPE that the main stream media would finally get angry enough to do their damn jobs and go hard after Trump for his scandals and his corruption, which is only going to get worse once he is sworn in.

Yes. The kids who most need non-parent adults to confide in would be robbed of that option and their safety threatened. What the hell is wrong with people?

I am trying to figure out how this conversation even starts between teacher and parents. Does everyone get a letter at the beginning of the year? “your son/daughter presents as male/female at school. We legally must tell you that.” I had conversations with teachers solely to flesh out *how* to talk to my parents about…

For people opposed to the “nanny state” they sure are keen on government interference in people’s lives.

Parents. Don’t. Own. Their. Kids. Aaaaaaahhh!

He tells The Advocate that he would have preferred being “politely” informed that the cakes were “disrespectful” rather than being cursed at by Peterson.
