President of entertainment at ABC at 33??? That is fucking insane. She sure as hell was doing something right.

Happy Endings should have had Friends-level success.

I have been dealing with near chronic depression since I was about 12 (over 40 years). I’ve come out of it a few times here and there, but always fell back into it. I finally just went on meds. BUT, I do think it’s possible to manage it without meds, and even preferable.

Congrats on your pregnancy, if congrats are in order. :) If you’re feeling up to it, you might consider participating in the ASPIRE study through the University of California San Francisco. They are researching how COVID affects women and fetuses from the early stages of pregnancy through the first year for the baby.

Most therapists right now are doing virtual therapy. It was really important to me to find someone that takes my insurance so I’m not paying the full fee out of pocket. My insurance plan is actually covering therapy 100% during the pandemic but I know that’s not the case for everyone.

It depends on where she is in treatment.  Vaccines aren’t generally given to people in the midst of chemotherapy because they’re unable to mount an immune response, rendering the vaccine useless.  Vaccines made of attenuated live virus can be dangerous in patients undergoing chemo but this doesn’t apply to any of the…

Or not up for it. Plenty of “unattractive” women get raped, which is why his take is particularly obnoxious. 

This is a good point. I was going to comment that I’m actually 100% seeing a baby boom around me. I’m pregnant and had a hard time finding an OB clinic that was accepting patients because they’re all swamped. BUT I live in a liberal university town, where people kept their jobs and are mostly cozily working from home…

I wouldn’t blame the people who got it because the outcome would them being not vaccinated and the vaccine going to waste. Nobody wins there.

However, I do blame CVS and Walgreens for the botched rollout. Getting a contract to do necessary public health should not be used as a customer perk.

But also, the vaccine is administered in two doses. How does that “friend of a friend” know they’ll be able to get the second shot in a month? 

I think what happens to the people who get their first dose by chance are automatically put into the queue to get their 2nd dose 3-4 weeks later (depending on which vaccine they get), even if they wouldn’t otherwise qualify. When you get your dose there’s someone there automatically scheduling you for your next dose.…

I largely agree with this, with one exception: this lucky person got a first dose that would have expired, but is now entitled to the follow up shot that would otherwise be a first dose of a higher risk person.

Yeah, I was the asshole who said it was stupid and risky to go to an indoor baby shower with 30+ people from different households to give gifts, eat, drink and take pictures with a pregnant woman.

This shit sounds awful. I really hope she has a plan lined up for when she turns 18, cause I fully see her parents giving her the boot. If that happens, I truly hope she has some kind of future as an influencer or something, because I don’t want to think about how else a newly 18-year-old woman, out on her ass, would…

It would be great if people stopped giving the narcissistic Conways (meaning Kelleyanne AND George) the attention they crave. Stop having KAC on tv shows, stop retweeting GC on twitter. Just stop. Let it be known that we still give a shit about kids in this country and won’t abide child abusers or their enablers.

Dude was trending on twitter this morning and I made the mistake of looking. He was getting backpats and “bless yous” from MAGATS while a few people were speaking up. Something about National Guardspeople being forced to sleep in parking garages and Tammy Duckworth fixing it? And Cawthorn brought pizza. I didn’t want…

It almost seems ableist - oddly coming from a guy in a wheelchair - to suggest that being fit and sporty means you have a shot at the Paralympics. Like Para is just the kiddie table to the real, adult Olympics and it takes nothing to get in.

They go back to work the same way kids in lockdowns go to school after a shooting because the above adults won't pass gun control. 

gee I asked my employer that when they kept denying my accommodations for my disability.

I’ve always thought Ashley Biden somewhat intriguing due how to normal she appears. With that I mean, if you look at Joe Biden’s children, Naomi tragically died as a child, Beau was this true son of his father whose loss still haunts the family and Hunter is just an utter mess. And then you have, and I mean this in no…
