I have C-PTSD with primary symptoms of major depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.  Every day that I remain alive is something I literally fight for.  I’m seriously disgusted with Candice McDuffie and The Root in general for posting this.  This website has majorly declined over the past year but this is just…

The tone of this whole article is a big nope. Shame on you.

Yea this is some clickbait trash headline. As someone who suffers from mental health issues I have some things I’d like to say to Candace but I’m trying to be a better person so I’ll forgive her ignorance but I sure as hell ain’t clicking on another goddamn thing she writes.

This headline - and the entire article - has a very unsettling tone. Why are y’all making fun of someone for seeking health and wellness? Kanye won’t stop saying that Pete should basically die, and he encourages his fanbase to tell Pete as much - and to harass him. Really, McDuffie, what are you getting at here?  Why…

Poor Lil Pete? Seriously what’s wrong with you? Are honestly making fun of someone that has said they have mental health issues for seeking mental health treatment? That's disgusting. 

What you are failing to note is that while Michael is making a point about a systematic problem, mayo Pete is discussing things as though Black people are the problem. That's the difference between understanding the problem of systemic racism and believing in the false notion of American meritocracy. 

How many chiropractors does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Just one, but it takes 17 visits.

I would just like to say that your attempt to compare a rich white fan/owner shoving a player, who had zero interaction with him or his family, because he felt entitled to do so, to a well known black GM being stopped by a cop, supposedly because his visible credentials weren’t visible enough, and then allegedly being…

And as I’ve said before, I can’t help but scream when the national media invalidates their own transphobic reporting with the (clueless) realization that gender is a learned set of behaviors and visual motifs that can easily assign new meanings to pre-existing concepts.

“If white privilege explained everything, please tell me how 7 out of the 8 of the recent national spelling bee example champions were Indian Americans.”

“Have I dealt with everything? No. Has it been better since? Yes. I still do this once or twice a year when I feel everything building up and it’s so much better than being prescribed meds that I don’t feel work.”

It is important to report the story accurately, especially when the content of the accurate report is still pretty outrageous.

I hate the deboarding process on a plane. I’m usually in Comfort or at least above row 15 or so and I love the window. So when the plane lands, I just don’t move. I keep my headphones and my head down looking at my Kindle until my peripheral vision or my seatmate gets up so I know its my time.

Unions do a lot more than negotiate health insurance. 

Maybe consider leaving the hot takes for people who do have skin in the game. Those of us who are struggling with fertility issues don’t need this opinion.  We’ve heard it and it’s more complicated than you think. Instead of saying this, you could have not said it. That would have been better.

Feels a bit...freedom paper-y. 

Some people care about happiness above and beyond other considerations, especially when you already have 100 million in the bank. Not everyone cares about the same things that fans do. Haven’t you ever switched jobs because you had to work with or for someone you hated?

I have a diagnosed case of BPD. The behaviors your sister shows are the exact same ones I exhibited. Add on, inability to form healthy relationships, dramatic and violent breakups, and excessive spending. My ex, a psychiatrist, actually was the first person to have the balls to tell me that something was wrong and it…

I go to local coffee roasters wherever I travel to. I figured I can experience the place I went to by drinking the coffee. It come out pretty well. When I drove through the Southwest, I came back with 22 bags of coffee.

I hate to say it, but that’s not how privilege works.
