I’m on opiods for chronic pain and I recently moved to a new state and got new insurance. It was a bitch finding a new doctor because my insurance was approved at the start of June but didn’t kick in until September 1st and I had to call about 30 pain clinics until I found one that would let me self pay. I still don’t…

My boyfriend has chronic pain and humiliating is the right word when it comes to trying to get his prescriptions filled. One time he lost an entire bottle on the plane and the pharmacy refused a refill because he could be lying. He was afraid to ask his doctor because he didn’t want to have a bad reputation as a…

I was chronic pain patient as well for a decade. Cracking down on opiodes is really scary for people who need those meds to live a bare semblance of a normal life. It is humiliating and frustrating getting your meds depending on the state regulations.

Yeah, and for some odd reason, this hurricane is simply resisting the existence of prayer’s power.

It’s a libertarian paradise.

Because Obama did it or liked it. And because so much of GOP politics and Trump’s in particular begin and end with “Fuck Obama”. They really got put out by those eight years of a black man running the country and actually being really good at it, they need to screw over his legacy as much as possible.

Yeah, no kidding. I’d say they look great on just about nobody.

I imagined her gaggle of lawyers hitting Etsy shops with cease and desist letters, and I think it’s completely plausible.

Added to this: the trademarking of ordinary sentences? Is this the apex of greed? It puts her in the same class as Trump.

And it’s okay!

Amazon Smile is the best thing ever. I support the Elephant Sanctuary in Tennessee through them.

She is a performative feminist who doesn’t REALLY care about rights for other people, just cares about what people think about her. She is a champion for causes that are convenient to her, not because of any moral or ethical decision to try and improve the world. Which is fine, she has no obligations to do so, but at…

No, I’m talking about Taylor “there’s a special place in hell for women who bring down other women” (because Tina Fey made a joke about her), “It’s unlike you to pit women against each other.” (because Nicki Minaj thought she deserved a nomination over her), “I’m doing this for all women who can’t speak out” (after…

This. Also, denouncing white supremacists for using your image isn’t asking for a lot. She sues every other time her image is used without her consent (including suing her own fans), yet this is the one she lets slide?

If those men use feminism as their brand they would get as much scrutiny.

The lawsuit was one of the first times that I actually remember Taylor doing something that was definitively political, rather than “Oh it could be, maybe it’s not.”

In this particular case, it’s because Taylor Swift herself makes a BIG deal out of being like “hey look at me I am a feminist I am all for girl power yay women!” and uses the feminism movement for her own personal gain. If she didn’t try to co-opt feminism, and in the process present a bastardized twisted form of it…

Yeah, don’t think calling 75% of your customers entitled, clueless racists is the best marketing ploy. Or saying your employer is full of crap for giving you a job. But kudos to her for standing up for what she believes in. I think my employer (and many of our clients) is pretty clueless and evil too, but food’s gotta…

I can’t remember the one I tried to watch - I think it was a UK version. I hated them all during the damn promo/lead in. Couldn’t do it.
