This business refuses to serve alcohol. That business refuses to serve gays. Obviously it's the same thing because I can use the same words to describe the two situations! /s

Rape and assault in the military are pretty bad problems for women, not just in Nk but in the US as well. I realize you were probably trying to be funny here, but having worked with former comfort women, I don't think it is appropriate to make light of an oppressive system of sex trafficking that involved the forced…

I feel like your brain is kinda my brain. The only thing about having fairly effective treatment for bipolar is that I can't tell if my insomnia is now mania or not — well, maybe I can, because mania is delicious and the best drug on earth and sometimes I just can't sleep. So maybe it's the PTSD, or maybe it's the…

Sometimes talking to your relatives makes you feel the most grounded/sane/normal. Some of the shit they try to "prescribe" for you is flat out insane.

Yeah, I always wonder if the antidepressants made my condition worse (especially the seizures I've had). But I try to not think to hard about it anymore, because what can I do?

No one LIKES "Bad Bipolar". I've been able to dodge that bullet for a few years now by TAKING MY MEDS and avoiding alcohol. The mental health system in the rural areas of Pennsylvania is a complete mess, but it's better than losing your mind and winding up homeless because you can't cope without your meds. Bad…

I don't think my depression holds a candle to bipolar but it took me upwards of 15 years to consent to going on medication because of all the people around me essentially telling me I just needed to try harder and not resort to chemicals. Now I'm furious at myself for those 15 years that feel wasted in comparison. …

I tell people that to sober 'em up when they get too passionate about "well, *I* don't know any rapists, so therefore that '1 in 5 women' statistic must be made up and inflated"... "Next time you're in a room with 5 guys, consider that the likelihood is that at least one of them has raped."

I was a stay at home mom raped by my spouse multiple times. The fuckers who deny it make it so hard to feel like you count sometimes. His mom told me it wasn't possible before and after she knew.

Are women strong enough to take care of themselves, or are they not strong enough to take care of themselves?

White people as a social group have gone insane. It's like they feel the reins of power slipping away and are digging their claws into the oppressed as a last fuck you.

I give it to my soon to be US History students in their last grading period. They are soon to be high school seniors. A few do very well. They are often the children of immigrants.

Roorda told KMOV that he was trying to get out in the aisle when Currie "elbowed" him to keep him from leaving, and that "two or three other anti-police radicals" then rushed over "and things de-escalated — I mean escalated from there." He flatly denied grabbing or shoving Currie.

NO! WIRE! HANGERS!

An Open Letter to My Ex's Wife:

She weaves them into a charming basket, adds a handful of locally sourced seasonal flowers and perches it artfully on the toilet paper dispenser.

Reading this post like:

I wore my mom's dress. As she handed over the box to me, she said, "I'm sure you will have to take it in A LOT. I was very chunky in 1968." Cut to me trying on the dress a few weeks later at the alteration place. Dress fit me like a glove. That was like delayed shade.

I blame the glorification of thuggishness that pervades white culture...a level of disrespect that is too often passed down from white parents (especially white single parents) to their white children.

You see, he's not for hypocrisy, but he is for cognitive dissonance.
