“I respect women incredibly.”

It was one woman’s birthday and she asked me how old I thought she was. I didn’t even have a chance to deflect

I’d find a new dentist. If someone believes the best part of life comes after you die, they aren’t someone to trust with your medical care.

My great grandmother (1899-1998) hated kids. HATED them. Had 7, because that’s just how it was back then.

That right there is the best parenting advice I’ve ever heard. Can I steal it?

Partly, it’s visibility. My family has been fucked up for generations- But it wasn’t until the 70s or 80s that things like self-help books and psychotherapy being trendy and 12-step programs at every church let people start talking openly about stuff.

Also, therapy. Find a therapist. You might need to go through 2 or 3 before you find the *right* one, but get into therapy. It’s a ton of work, and can take a couple years before you start seeing real change, but so worth it.

I would rather be stuck in an elevator with 6 cigar wielding chain smokers and a guy literally shooting black tar heroin right there on the floor than be in the same building as someone that uses chewing tobacco.

Fat free bacon?

If it were really a white people tattoo, it would be in Mandarin, which they thought was Japanese.

A depressed partner can cause stress in a relationship. So can a death in the family, money troubles, or disagreeing about whether Firefly is good or not.
