Oh my god, my mom too. I’ve had several long conversations with her when I think she’s referencing our family friend and am impressed at how liberal she’s become. Then it clicks that she’s talking about something Rachel Maddow said.

I’m the same way. BUT cell phones without services can still make emergency 911 calls. So you can donate them to women’s shelters and they will be a lifeline.

Ha same.

yeah, I was bouncing around reddit this morning!

yeah...1 hour 20 minutes until the press conference!

Saw someone mention on Reddit that he was still a cop at that point. Possible he was actually working at the townhall meeting!

I don’t know, it seems a little extravagant for drug running. They have a full rocket building facility that can be toured. I got more of the cult-like vibe from him (people “volunteer” to build these things) and I could see that maybe he and this woman were having an affair and something went wrong. No idea though.

I met this guy because he does “motivational speaking”, and he felt off to me but not more off than other tech engineering startup people. Just that the idea seemed...crazier and weirder? He’s been trying to build a rocket and is known as Rocket Madsen. Like, VC’s pouring millions into a ridiculous app requires just…

I’m really struggling right now and trying to just make myself do five minutes of something self care related...five minutes stretching, five minutes unsubscribing from emails to declutter my inbox, five minutes working on training with my dog, five minutes responding to texts so I’m not completely isolating, etc.…

I’ve had sinus surgery and would do it again (probably will have to as most people do). Surgery and recovery were fine, the anesthesia is actually more dangerous than the surgery. If it’s been recommended and you’ve gotten a second opinion, I would do it and then keep up with great habits (neti pot, nasonex, etc.…

Thanks! This is helpful, I’m just always a worrier. I’m not concerned about the background check or the drug test, both should be fine. I’m asking the new employer for three weeks, so I could contact them and ask if we could change it to three weeks from signing the offer letter. I just don’t want to do anything to…

Good news for me, for the first time in a long time! I’ve been trying to work on a move to a new city for a loooong time and have just been given an offer for a great position! AND it’s in the nonprofit sector and after almost two years away, I am so, so ready to get back to doing meaningful and impactful work for an…

Pod Save America has been giving me some tiny bit of my sanity back...trying to limit myself to the New York Times and that. But twitter keeps pulling me in and giving me so much more to read. UGH.

Maybe I’ve been watching the Americans too much, but this sort of makes me hope she’s some sort of informant for the CIA...

Ashley Judd was so powerful. Just found the original of her performance and wow, wow. http://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/2017/01/21/womens-march-ashley-judd-recites-poem-franklin-woman/96888228/

I’m in the same boat. On inauguration day it hit me like a wave that I need to have supplies and cash handy. And I’m stocking up on Plan B in case I or anyone else I know needs it. And I just reread the Handmaid’s Tale, it does not feel outside of the realm of possibility. We need to be very, very vigilant. I’m also…

umm, what is a “costume girl”? That’s a term I’ve never heard.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I’ve done EMDR and it’s been really helpful.

Look up the five languages of love. Might be helpful for this conundrum!

I completely get how this is problematic and think it would be ideal if the image did portray a body type similar to the women who would buy this product. However, I’m not quite sure how you’d do that...find the needle in a haystack of a model who recently had a baby, didn’t get her body back into “model shape”…
