Save it for your column, Mr. Couch.

are you mad on the internet

Well, there was that time he played a Nazi sympathizer...

Thank you. There’s been a couple phone calls to crisis response and my therapist this week.

I’m so sorry to hear this. I am so sorry for the pain you feel. From the bottom of my heart, I know that this world needs you. Sending you much love and strength!! <3 I’m sure you already know, but you can always call 1-800-273-8255 or text 741741 if you are having thoughts of suicide or need to talk about mental…

Yeah. I have to second your info. As someone who has attempted suicide in the past with moments still of suicide ideation, this week has been kind of rough avoiding as much mention of his death as possible.

I don’t know, I’m kind of conflicted about Mark Salling. Sad for his family and friends. Sad that he was so desperate that he killed himself. Sad that it was only 4-7 years and I am sure with good behaviour most likely released early. Sad that he could have been someone who had the fame to talk to others about this…

As a suicide prevention advocate and a suicide loss survivor, I urge you to follow guidelines about reporting on suicide, which include not including method of death, especially in a headline: http://reportingonsuicide.org/

Large organizations move slowly. I work for a company in the mid-200s on the Fortune 500 list; we’re one of the nation’s largest investor-owned utilities. You have no fucking idea how slowly things go, even ones that aren’t subject to regulation by our state’s Public Utilities Commission go.

Cannot stress enough how funny it is reading the “please retire, Federer” piece you linked to from 2013. There are lots of reasons why random sportswriters have no right to tell athletes much better than them that they’re done being successful, but at least sometimes you get extremely amusing hindsight reads like that…

The balls on this woman. Who gets denied three times and still brings their freaking peacock to the airport?!? Who aided and abetted this woman’s tomfoolery?!? Did she drive herself, and if so, how’d she get her peacock to the terminal?!?

Samuel L Jackson is not a fan of taking snakes on a plane. I owned a snake and people were freaked out when I even mentioned it in conversation. I am severely bipolar and kept dogs as pets. I understand the therapeutic value of animals. That said... taking a peacock on a plane is manifestly silly.

My sister worked with someone who had a service mini-horse to help with their visual impairment. That thing was awesome. It wore little velcro sneakers inside. It was smart as a whip and so well-behaved.

Emotional support animals are not service animals. Service animals have to be trained to perform tasks for a person in their everyday life, like guiding them or opening doors. An emotional support animal is just whatever critter you can get a therapist to write a note saying it makes you feel better.

Pretty much all service animals will pass that standard. Emotional support animals...not so much. The tricky part, legally speaking, is that there is a distinction between a service animal and an emotional support animal. Service animals go through years of training in obedience, essentially learning tasks that they…

I’m hurt because I couldn’t bring my emotional support blue whale.

Although, I would be very miffed if they told me I couldn’t bring my emotional support Bengal tiger with me.

Joke is on the airlines, I carry billions of emotional support bacterial organisms with me on every flight.
