The color in the photo in this post is called “Silly Putty”

We call it a War on Women precisely because assholes like you think forcing a woman to make a man wear birth control is preferable to giving her control over her own body after private consultation with her doctor.

Of course, he’s a guy who thinks we should protect our country by forcing other countries to wear our…

Way to double down Lady MacBeth.

After I colored my hair black and had straight across bangs, my mom said to me:

Yeah, but...you already have freckles, right? I’ve definitely heard of already freckled people who get more/darker freckles with sun exposure, but OP seems to be implying that most non-freckled people can get freckles with sun exposure and I’m pretty sure that’s not actually a thing.

My freckles do darken with more sun exposure.

Am I the only one who fuckin HATED Kim, no matter how ‘nice’ she was to Lindsay at any random second?

Elie Weisel, author of the legendary Holocaust autobiography, Night, once reprimanded a letter writer by saying, essentially, “ I do not give you permission to compare your suffering to mine. Our suffering is relative, and fills our own cups up equally.” Which I think is the essential lesson here. Our lives and our…

The entire world is looking to the White House.

I don’t at all intend to make light of what you deal with, but I have to say it made me feel vaguely cheered up to hear that someone else had the “I cannot even deal with touching clothing that’s in any way associated with my trauma, let alone wearing it” experience. It’s just sort of nice to feel less alone and…

Ugh. I already have anxiety and ADD. Do these things come in a cluster or something?!

Yeah. As someone with severe OCD, I just don’t have the energy to get very angry about this at the moment. It garners an eye roll, sigh, and a glare.

I used to have to touch nearly everything in a new room I entered and if I didn’t touch something properly the first time, I’d have to keep going until I did. I remember visiting my boyfriend’s parents for the first time and standing in front of the VCR and tapping it repeatedly, nearly in tears because it just wasn’t…

I get that people who don’t live with OCD probably see this as yet another example of overinflated outrage. And as one who has fairly debilitating OCD, I’ll admit that I’m offended and exhausted by this stupid sweater but not necessarily furious. The question I’d like to ask those telling me to just brush it off…

I had severe OCD from six until recently. It’s horrible. Not being taken seriously makes it even harder. The sweater is not the worst thing ever, but it’s part of a bigger issue: Not taking mental illness seriously. And that’s something that kills people.

I think it would be ok, if it were just the sweater. It’s more the sweater in the context of a world where every clean and tidy person happily announces ‘I’m like so OCD’.

It always bothered me how casually people talk about OCD. Everyone is “OCD” about something (which doesn’t even make sense) and say it very seriously. No, you’re not OCD if you like your bathroom counters clean or you like your clothes in color order. Wish there were a way to get people educated on more things.

and so was Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind.
