I once had an argument with a friend about this, and it ended the friendship. She was saying something like “I’m so bipolar today”, and I responded with a dry “yeah, I wish I wasn’t”. She lost it, got super defensive about how it was ok that she’d said that because she “gets” me and loves me. It wasn’t her using the

I must have missed reading that while reading the comments on that story yesterday. Thank you for bringing this up. Mental illness truly isn’t a joke and we need more voices saying that to help remind others that this is something so many of us live with on a daily basis.

Ugh. I hate those universal declarations about clearly subjective opinions anyway, but especially with the mental health bit which is neither funny nor clever.

Tons of grist to feed into the Code 45* mill today, folks! Shit.

The GOP candidate in Virginia (Gillespie) is a disgusting turd.

No. Don’t fuck anything.

He thinks he’s Monty fucking Hall (RIP, btw). He thinks a desperate crowd of hurricane survivors are an audience. He thinks he is the benevolent game show host, and that giving out “prizes” will win him the adoration of his loyal viewers. This is actually a horrifying tableau reminiscent of feudal times. The people of

Not to be snarky, but isn’t that how this works? For decades, the Far Right has chipped away at the public good, forcing Democrats to edge closer to center (and into the shallow Right) to stay viable. Perhaps Medicare-for-all isn’t a winner this go-around, but it’ll get a lot of public support, making funding

Imagine the shit fest if Hillary had been president and nominated 41 women (who’d no doubt be qualified). There’d be cries of progessivism and affirmative action and SJW BS (insert tears). And I’m sure you’ll hear the argument that these men were the “most” qualified and that’s why he chose them. Blargh.

Hello, Phoebe. Oh, she is gorgeous! Please give her a hug from me!

There are plenty of people on the far left who prioritize white people, who dismiss conversations about racism, misogyny, and homophobia as divisive “identity politics” used by “centrists” to distract from “real” problems and those people deserve to be singled-out and shamed.

Yes, that horrible, sickening moment when you’ve just eaten a small salad and had a coke because it was the only thing on the menu you could afford (telling everyone it’s because you’re just not hungry), and the rest have had racks of ribs, fancy desserts and cocktails - and then someone demands that ‘we’re not

It’s a friendship, not a ledger.

Are you me, too? If I have a friend who is having financial difficulty, the solution is just to get the check for them. Like, yes, that comes from a position of great privilege, but... well, let it do something nice for once, you know? I want to see the person, and I don’t want to add to their stress by causing them

I love love love sleeping. Even more so since I adopted dogs. One of my dogs was abused by his first owner and was utterly terrified of coming near the bed at first, and now curling up under the covers with me is one of his favorite things. He comes running, wagging his tail, when I’m ready to go to bed or take a nap,

See, but if you’re my poor friend, I’m just gonna pick up the check. I think it’s pretty damned cheap not to when you’re good enough friends to be aware that there’s a substantial difference in what your buddy can afford vs. what you can.

Yes, I’ve been in exactly the same position. I would get the cheapest entree on the menu, no desserts, drinks, or appetizers, and knew that even that entree was stretching my budget to the limit. And then my table-mates would expect me to spend an extra $20 to $30 on all their drinks, etc. Splitting evenly only makes

I disagree. People are poor in their late 20s and 30s (and 40s! And 50s!) too, and many of those people have friends in different financial circumstances.

Soooo, what does bragging in the Jezebel comment section about how little you mention your relationship at Facebook say about you?
