As someone who had one parent cheat on the other, I wish my parents hadn’t told me as much about it as they did. I appreciate that they did tell me what was going on, because it was obvious there was something wrong, but it does end up putting kids in an intensely awkward place where they have to reconcile their anger…

It sounds like she actually didn’t know he was cheating on her until much later when he confessed and they got divorced.

I dunno, would you say the same about the groupie that lost her virginity to Bowie when she was 14 and he was in his 20s? She doesn’t define her experience as rape or sexual assault or abuse or anything like it, but many people look at Bowie as taking advantage of her. At a certain point you have to balance respecting…

I remember seeing a bunch of stuff posted a while back about MLK cheating on his wife as though that somehow makes him less admirable as a civil rights leader. People are complex. They can be very shitty in some ways and very good in others. My dad cheated on my mom. But he’s still a good dad. Just hasn’t always been…

What did Nathan Fillion do? Oh god I probably don’t want to know

He lied about the Boy Scouts calling him I have no doubt he’d lie about this too

People who were murdered to have their bodies sold for medical research? Yes, that is indeed horrific.

Grave robbing though, I mean yeah it’s not the most ethical way to conduct research, but experimenting on a dead body, even if that body was gotten via grave robbery, is in no way the moral equivalent of conducting…

The experimentation was specifically on slaves who he ‘borrowed’ for the purpose. If it was purely providing experimental treatment to women who needed it and consented to it, why were no white volunteers experimented on? The condition impacted white women, but the treatment was offered them when it was perfected -…

“just segregation” like that isn’t an idea that in and of itself perpetuated violence when we tried it the first time around. Their ideas are inherently violent and abhorrent.

I work at a mental health clinic. The program I specifically work in is supported employment. We help folks, in whatever way they need help, find jobs. Once a coworked asked me to come by and speak to one of his clients about her hygiene and appearance. He said she always looked slovenly and her hair looked greasy. I…

Ugh, fuck that guy. What on earth. But your mother sounds lovely and I’m glad that mattered to her and that she helped.

To me, the drama of it is just a touch overwrought and it misses the wit and humor. I find that’s the case with most adaptations of Austen.

It doesn’t fall under the umbrella of anorexia. Anorexia and bulimia have specific diagnostic criteria and often co-occur with other behavioral health disorders like anxiety and ocd. But eating can be disordered without a full blown diagnosis, and it’s important to not let restricted eating get out of control. If your…

A bunch of my friends are doing this “whole30" thing where for 30 days you cut out everything you just said and more. And you’re not even supposed to eat substitutes, like gluten free baked goods or stuff that replaces dairy with like, coconut milk, because you’re still ‘feeding your craving’ and therefore not…

We already know this. She faced a ton of shitty sexist bs when she was running for senate. Politicians are ALWAYS more popular when they’re working instead of running, and that’s even more true when the politician is a woman. The instant she runs for president we’ll get treated to a dissection of how annoying her…

What’s baffling though is that the republicans haven’t realized that Trump’s base is loyal to *him* specifically. Whatever cursed object or devil deal protects him from any negative press impacting his poll numbers does not extend to anyone else around him. The political calculus that says “well, Russia doesn’t bother…

I love how people defend rape in media because “it happens in real life we have to include it” but when you have real life allegations of rape those same people are suddenly skeptics.

What mistake did Castile make.

A black woman in Seattle called the police because she believed she had been robbed and she was shot and killed. It isn’t unheard of or probably all that uncommon. American police are trigger happy.
