I have noticed this trend more and more online, people referring to themselves as “LGBT+” and, I have to admit, I’m confused by it. While some of those identities can overlap, not all of them can (like, bisexual and lesbian can’t), and the term is generally an umbrella term that refers to multiple communities with…

You told everyone you curled 100 pounds when you’re actually curling Padma Lakshmi crowning the new winner of Top Chef.

And we’ve got our wedding cake sorted!

Chocolate zucchini cake!

And multiple things can be misogynistic at once! You are doing a bang up job here.

Ask! I had a date recently where I liked the other person on a friend level but wasn’t feeling romantic chemistry. She asked if she could kiss me and I was able to politely decline her, rather than having to deal with an unwanted kiss.

I never wear mine because the cut is just a bit weird and the fabric somehow shows every contour of my bras, giving me weird lumpy-looking boobs, despite the fabric being relatively thick.

Fucking gross. Eat the rich.

I think what is often missing from these conversations is an understanding that the disease model of addiction is just that: a model. And not one that everyone subscribes to (and not one that is perfect). For example, 80+ percent of people with substance use disorders have a trauma history. To me, that challenges the…

Generally speaking, few addiction treatment approaches (even those that are evidence-based) have a 70%+ success rate.

The best estimates for AA “success” are about 5-15% (I work in evidence-based addiction medicine). Basically, it works for the people it works for, but it doesn’t work for far more people.

How do you “ensure they are truly contrite”? The very fact that they feel they can come on back without changing much if anything about their lives and the shit they’ve done seems to indicate quite clearly that they don’t.

I hear you so hard on the PCOS + ED + people praising disordered behaviours as healthy if you’re not thin.

Oh man, not-really-recovered eating disorders are so fucking rampant with RDs. I went to one (I have a history of disordered eating and was needing support to navigate medically-required food restrictions without triggering disorder stuff) and she gave me calorie counts that were so low I basically had a two-day long…

I feel like this article did not clear up anything for me, it just made me more confused about the particulars.

I heard her on something—maybe Death, Sex, Money--and she struck me as really thoughtful and funny and quite clear eyed on her missteps and what’s been required of her to survive in a toxic industry.

Why?

There are queer women—many of them—who have some level of attraction to men. In fact, bi/pansexuals make up far more of the LGBTQ+ community than any other letter.

Why? There are multiple queer identities for women that don’t being and end with lesbian.
