This this this this this so much. FC is demonstrably bullshit. Assisted communication *can* definitely be great for people with physical disabilities who don’t have mental disabilities or who have less severe mental disabilities - people who have ALS, for example. My grandmother had a degenerative nerological disease…

Oh I thought she meant a cutthroat cunt and I was like, same :-/

This case is even more horrific than it’s being presented as here. The kind of FC Stubblefield practices has been extensively and consistently disproven (ie, in multiple reproducible studies, if conflicting information is presented to the facilitator and the patient, 100% of the time the FC will express the info given…

Yeah, facilitated communication isn’t real. I understand why people are desperate for it to be real, and I do think its practitioners do believe in it, but that doesn’t mean it’s real.

Abstaining from sex with clients is a solid idea for any therapist tbh

Yep. It’s overpriced crap. Every Essie I’ve ever bought — about ten shades in a variety of finishes — either chips immediately, takes a billion coats to get opaque, or is a streaky mess. OPI is similarly unimpressive. :\

Haven’t gotten regular polish since I tried gel. Life-changing. Here’s my current

Essie is good-ass nail polish, and comes in good-ass colors!

The thing is if you let him make that choice and handle it well he will come back to you. Forcing him will only breed resentment and have longer-term implications.

I know, I remember someone somewhere saying that she’d married up and another person responded, “he married an internationally renowned human rights lawyer, he’s the one who married up.” Still true.

So all three of my incredibly bizarre crushes DIED in the last seven days. Bowie, Rickman, and fox Robin Hood. I can't even deal with this right now. So much sadness.

I prefer Cary Elwes over Errol Flynn.

Whenever I hear about a death right after the holidays I think aw they got one more holiday season with their families. And that’s the best time of year. That’s nice at least.

We did this movie on my podcast I host with some people back in 2014, and you are far from alone. Apparently in our age group, Fox Robin Hood is really popular.

I’m just so relieved to find out I’m not the only one who’s carried a secret cartoon torch all these years. Rip, Mr. Bedford.

Oo-de-lally, golly what a day...

My first true love.
