Ok skin experts, I need help. I was actually using this stuff for years and just stopped last week to see how my skin changed. I have combination skin and am in my late 20s. I swear that my t-zone is getting oilier and everywhere else is getting drier as the years go by. I was using the scrub in the shower and then St…

Nope nope nope. HIV is no longer the death sentence it was. It is now more treatable than diabetes. Folks need to be responsible for their own sexual health. Prosecuting HIV+ people for having sex is a slippery slope — what if someone’s partner turns against them and claims they did not know? We need to STOP the witch…

and being catfished or scammed, unfortunately :(

thanks! what social work lacks in pay is supplemented by gratitude like this :) and just the general feeling of doing something worthwhile.

a lot of my clients have physical or intellectual disabilities and/or mental health diagnoses, so i tend to refer them to programs catering to those populations. some of these are run out of churches, some are run out of community agencies. sounds like your friend doesn’t necessarily fit that population, so idk! i can…

As someone who works with many people who are on disability, I will say this: in some circles, maybe you and everyone you know is on SNAP and/or SS(D)I... it’s the norm. So you don’t necessarily think of it as being related to “Big Brother”. Also, this article just makes me think of why I encourage my clients on SSI…

that picture! y’all are the worst

“...because I’m... hungry”

I just spat out my tea laughing so hard. I needed this.

I work in healthcare (as a social worker), and find it insane that any medical professional would want to cut what is available (in terms of health insurance). Then I remembered this NYT diagram showing political views of different types of doctors. Sure enough, he is a surgeon! I work in the HIV field, so the doctors…

Was waiting for someone to reference this!

Ewww why did I look?!? This reminds me of the Mutter Museum, which has human specimens in jars. Somehow out of all of the weird, creepy things there, nothing has ever haunted me more than the foot in a jar. Oh, that and maybe the jar of skin flakes. And yes I have been multiple times, but mostly just to appease…

People who should lose their qualifications: Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, and Dr. Drew. Unethical, dishonest, and profiting off of others’ misery.

Thanks to this post, Mexrrissey is now my favorite thing. Their version of Boy With the Thorn in His Side is damn good too

re-watched that episode last night with my partner, it was 100% needed!

what state? I didn’t realize that was a thing

Voted in Point Breeze, Philadelphia around 7:30 AM. Fight nearly broke out behind me, but did not seem to be election-related. I think it was more so someone feeling like their personal space was being invaded in line. It was super crowded, could have been better organized, and tension was high!

Meh. He chose to run for president. Whatever. Fascists getting booed doesn’t feel too bad to me.

ahhhhhh I just read all of these and then found out that my partner has to go out of town for the weekend. here’s to a few nights of me scaring the crap out of myself in an empty apartment :(
