“Wait’ll they get a load of me.” - 2017

The mental disconnect is unreal. When fucking Ted Cruz and his cronies shut down the government a few years ago, my cousin (who lives in his district and loooooves him) ranted on FB about how this was all very necessary to stop Obamacare, which would be the DEATH of us all. Four days later, public opinion has firmly…

I can’t believe 2016 is a real year that we’re all living through.

I don’t know why, but that sounds like something Kanye would rap.

Yes, removing the religious discrimination aspect from this (which is huge obviously) it is deeply unsettling to me that there are basically laws mandating a certain amount of “undress” for women in certain public places. It is even creepier and more patriarchal that laws demanding a certain amount of “modesty.” Will…

Please dismiss the troll.

And if a woman is wearing a t-shirt and pants on the beach, will she be forced to change into a bikini? This is complete fucking garbage. And the ‘burkini’ isn’t religious wear. It’s just an article of clothing women can wear if they don’t want to wear a revealing bathing suit. I’ve seen plenty of women who aren’t…

A few weeks ago the morning DB was delayed so I just went home sick. I can't be expected to work under those conditions.

even if she is bi i don’t think she’d be dating bella—this sorority girl at nyu i know is best friends with them all and she (bella) was posting photos with her boyfriend and all of them pretty recently. HOWEVER bella just deleted her private facebook soooo the plot thickens

...boyfriend Gregg Sulkin (who he is isn’t important)...

One of the details that stuck out to me from the article was when Gypsy said that she feels happier in prison than she did living with her mother. I can't even fathom the level of misery I would have to feel to make prison a good place.

None of my cats have ever been this adorable. This is Masie, tho.

It’s easy to point at the doctors: I get it. But MBP is characterized by the mastery of manipulation. You have absolutely no idea how convincing these parents can be. They look like saints, they are devoted to the needs of ‘medically frail’ children, and they jump ship if they sense anyone getting even slightly close…

Jesus Christ. If there is a good reason to have your mother murdered I think we found it.

No, it isn’t nearly as prejudicial in the USA. Most Americans probably don’t even know we have gypsies here, too. I doubt there are any debutantes with the name; it screams lower class, but it isn't an epithet.

I also found it noteworthy that the mom was 24 and the dad was 17 when she got pregnant. Not sure if it ~means~ anything in this, but it definitely seemed not okay to me.

I was reading this while Mr. Cheese was watching Stanger Things in the background and it all contributed to a very creepy evening. That poor child went through a lot at the hands of her mom :/

The article goes into this better than I can, but, essentially, doctors usually operate on the assumption that a parent is telling the truth about symptoms- and because Muchausen by proxy people usually have a medical background and are very good at regurgitating the right language, and really good at appearing…

I’m going to have to disagree with you on that one. It sort of justifies it. I’m not saying she should go free, but 10 years sounds about right to me
