Yeah. Newsflash: Even if you're sure someone has an eating disorder, yelling "HEY YOU LOOK ILL EAT SOMETHING" is super unhelpful. Especially if you don't know them.
Okay, but even if she did it's not nice to say super mean things about how some one looks. Also, if she is struggling with an ED now or again (I don't know) she's not obligated to hash that out in public.
Hear that, ladies? No matter what we look like, we are still disgusting!
Can we just stop policing women's bodies for a minute? I'm not a big fan of hers in general but everything she says here is dead on.
So basically, the pinnacle of my life is happening RIGHT NOW

You have just described my dream job.

UGH (which does not adequately reflect the empathy I feel for you). Not a dope to get excited about a pregnancy. It’s SO hard. And there’s no “right” way to feel about it.
Yeah. I miscarried three times before we had the twins and I disassociated from that pregnancy for... A long time. Long, long time. I remember so clearly feeling like such a dupe when I lost the third, and I was damned if I’d feel that way again.
Totally! I wanted a baby, and then when I found out I was pregnant, I was so...underwhelmed, that the doctor made it very clear that I had options, if I wanted to use them. A coworker told me the story of how she miscarried at 19 weeks, and a close friend miscarried about two weeks before I found out I was pregnant,…

My brother was the result of an unplanned pregnancy. My mom was pretty upfront about it, but in a kind way. That still didn’t stop me as a kid from tormenting my brother over it.
I found out I was pregnant my senior year of college. When I told my son's father (also a senior in college) he cried for weeks. He cried more often during my pregnancy than I did. Neither one of us were financially or emotionally prepared for a baby. His father pushed for abortion, even scheduling an appointment at…
Because if I have to acknowledge the likelihood that my parents had sex, it’s at least better to assume it was dutiful and joyless and only happened the once.
Not to make light of this but does it seem like prosecutors were watching Monty Python to come up with ways to prove the validity of the fetus?
Booooooo
