OMG, I have been trying to find a stream of Thinner for YEARS. I remember watching it when it came out (I was 9). And I have often wanted to re-watch it, but didn’t want to pay for it. THIS IS GREAT. Made extra great by the fact that this is apparently not going to live up to my expectations.

So much of my pre-teen awkwardness/hideousness was just the horrible glasses my mom picked out for me because of insurance and my terrible vision. The day I got my own vision coverage and learned that I could pay extra for gorgeous, handcrafted frames was the day my life changed. Of course, now I have a new annual…

Who knew a thumbs-up could be so sexy???

I just posted about Philadelphia’s Mobile Crisis Team. A wonderful resource. Probably overtaxed everywhere, but I’ve never heard of anyone killed by a Mobile Crisis Team.

This hits so close to home. When he was a mentally-ill teen, my husband’s parents would call the cops on him constantly. But he was able to grow up into a normal life because police don’t execute middle-class white boys. They just give them a ride to the psych ward. Every time this happens to someone, it breaks my…

Your comment just gave me the biggest laugh of this month. I think I love you.

I love her glasses— they’re ridiculous and I’m sure that’s what she’s going for! I’m a funky glasses-wearer and on Tuesday an optician at my favorite eyeglasses shop tried to “tone me down.” It was super offensive. I went in for white, yellow, or red frames and she would only show me black or brown. V.v. rude. LIVE…

Yes, definitely. Typing notes is like a direct pathway from my ears to my fingers— completely bypassing my brain. When I write by hand, for whatever reason, the words actually have to pass through my brain and potentially stick there.

I love Barbara Kingsolver so much! One of my favorite essays of all time is her “High Tide in Tucson.” She does everything I wish I could do with words.

In-head you sounds a lot like in-head me!

My jaw is on the floor. What a monster!

Definitely. I mostly wear leggings under fit and flare dresses, and I have gained and re-lost 25lbs in the past 2 years without having to alter my wardrobe at all! The only thing I’ve had to buy is new bras because those don’t stretch as much.

Happened to my husband, except bipolar with psychotic episodes. In general, I really do think pot is less of a public menace than alcohol, but in certain cases— particularly with adolescents — I do believe it can cause temporary and permanent brain chemistry issues. On the bright side, no psychosis reported since he…

My parents were divorced and had completely opposite approaches to money. Now I’m a jumbled-up mess! I have my dad’s propensity to spend all my cash on restaurants and entertainment, with no thought toward the future, as well as my mom’s frugality when it comes to literally everything else. I won’t think twice about…

Never be afraid to look deranged. Even though I can’t think of a single occasion where it would be appropriate, I just impulse-bought this dress.... and then, once the floodgates were opened, this necklace to go with it. (they uploaded in reverse order, but even if I bought the necklace first, no part of this look is…

Hahaha! Yes— I’m always at or near the limit, so I’m “forced” to take a random day or two off each month or lose them. It sounds ridiculous, but it’s true for those of us a little too strapped for cash to travel extensively at the moment.

That does sound fantastic! My bff suggested the same thing. I do love lazing around with the pup all day! He’s my best buddy.

Oh no! I missed the lulz. :(

Jeez! I didn’t say they’d die. I said their hearts would break (total hyperbole) from missing me.
