My last normal night was my dad’s birthday dinner at the end of last January, which my sister and her family, my cousin and her family, and my partner and I attended.

My husband and I bought a business on Jan 2, 2020 that is very reliant on small manufacturing in China, so we found out early and often that there was something happening. Things became hard to get and prices were higher than they were supposed to be. But like everyone else, we had no idea it would get this bad.…

I’m the same way. I’ve learned that in the bulk of work meetings, no one really cares what I say. The decision is already made up or the talkers lead the way.

Nancy Reagan, is that you? I thought I had defeated you for the final time.

All the best in wishing you continued success in staying sober. 

This is definitely a shock for me. I guess I’ve been sorta looking up to him as a fellow very nervous person who’s got it all together, more or less. For some reason this was the year for me where I finally managed to stay sober (after spending the greater part of 2019 hopped up on speed). And boy howdy, was it…

“Why would you jack up the price of medications?!”

As a further indictment of the system, my favorite chapter from this whole weird saga is when he was hauled into Congress to explain why pharmaceutical costs are so high when, if Congress wanted to do something to fix pharma costs, Congress is the one with the power to cap and control costs, it is Congress that has…

Fun to remind folks that Shkreli did not go to jail for the thing he is most infamous for - astronomically jacking up the price of live-saving HIV drugs. He went to jail for some run-of-the-mill, almost-boring ponzi scheme type securities fraud. It’s the kind of shit folks get nailed on every so often but they’re…

overt narcissism has its own weird attractive qualities. human chemistry is weird, wild stuff.

I hope your patients can find a better doctor.

Of course she wants her cake. The alternative is death.

Gee, wonder why THAT might be. I bet being dependent on doctors that deny who you are on the most fundamental level is great for one’s anxiety.

Izzard’s approach to gender etc has always been exciting and delightful, hasn’t it.  She sees her own fluidity and goes, well this is a sliding scale, may as well make it fun.

I’m interested to hear how all of the people who “must” spit handle this indoors and why  it’s different when they’re outdoors.

None of your body fluids should be deposited uncontained into a public space. Spit into a tissue and chuck it or tuck it away until you can throw it out. Even if you’re not spitting on or near someone, it doesn’t just disappear after you walk away. I’m sure that you don’t spit on the floor when you are indoors, do…

I have never felt the need to spit but I have felt the need to say, have a bowel movement and I’ve still never done it on the sidewalk.

Ok, I don’t understand this...I’ve never spit before and I’m doing just fine.

Never heard that stereotype. Care to explain how you arrived at it?

uh.. I live in upstate NY and see people of all races spitting all the time 🤷🏻‍♂️
