This actually may be last season man. Courtney stated in the after show that this will be like a moment for ‘you know who’....a turning point...and she said for upcoming seasons.

I started binge watching Power over the weekend, and I have three things to say

Wait. If a woman's only job is to give birth to baby boys, then how would the world repopulate itself after the regular handmaids die off? Guy needs to learn sex ed. 

FWIW I think you should get some individual counseling first.  Then make a decision re: couples counselling.  In my experience, husbands who behave badly in life are 1) resistant to counseling 2) resentful that "you made him go" and 3) often use the language learned in counseling to gaslight you more effectively.  I…

I also do a dry period each year in January. Basically from New Year’s Day to Jan 31 = no drinking. I usually feel better, sleep better AND lose some weight.  The reset is a good thing IMHO.

My urgent self-care tip usually involves eating. I tend to forget to eat and go through my day and at some point it’s four o’clock in the afternoon and I’m antsy and in a bad mood, until it hits me that I haven’t eaten all day. Then I do, and all of a sudden I am motivated and capable again. Happened yesterday when…

I try to take care of my body in the hopes that my mind will follow. Drink water, herbal tea, kombucha, whatever’s around that isn’t boozy, caffeinated, or heavily sweetened. Eating some plants usually helps too. Veggies or a piece of fruit.

Look into Moderation Management! It’s all about structure and setting rules that work for you. I have a similar problem. I’m not an alcoholic, but I do like drinking a bit too much. I love wine and craft beer, and I love the feeling of being buzzed. I’ve already cut back a lot from my worst drinking, which was self…

I’m still in the greys forever, but I need to show you guys these amazing fucking clown pants I got from Target:

Hello, Jezzies! Hope you all are doing well. I’ve been having kind of a shitty day, until I realized I hadn’t taken my meds in a couple of days. Now I’m evening out, but obviously I still feel a bit shit. What are some of your urgent self-care tactics when you realize you are Not Well?

Never forget how incredibly lucky you are to get a higher education, something too few people have the privilege of doing, and let that thought fuel your drive if your workload gets hard.

How do I reduce my drinking? I used to be able to drink a lot. But I am getting older and I really want to reduce my alcohol intake because I fear the upcoming health issues. I don’t drink everyday, but I do binge drink, which I know is so.much.worse. As in, I can easily drink a bottle of wine in one sitting.

I have my work appraisal this week and got the best/worst news I could’ve expected. As in, yes you’re really good at the training side and have a talent for adjusting how and what you deliver on the fly, but there probably won’t be funding for me to stay with the team beyond my agreed secondment. They have recommended…

Today is my birthday. I have had raging diarrhea for the past 3 days following a beach vacation and fucking bad clams. My husband (and kids) are at a party (for me) while I sit on the shitter. So yeah, good ass times. 

I make plans to leave the house every weekend. And then I never go. Ever. Never ever.

I haven’t been on lately because I’ve just been very depressed. I don’t like the area I’m in, I had really big money issues this month, and I don’t like the school I’m teaching at. I just feel really trapped. My MCL is also torn and I’d be out for two months but I also don’t see how I can do surgery right now. I…

Hi Jezzies. Anyone else spending the weekend at home and not sure if they’re lonely?? I know this is oddly specific.

I’m moving to Austin soon to join an AmeriCorps program that requires quite a bit of travel. I also got a puppy shortly before learning this. I’ve tried reaching out to other AmeriCorps members looking for housing who might be willing to care for him while I’m away in exchange for money or some other trade-off, but…

I use Ad Block Plus in combination with uBlock Origin. Just be sure to allow ads for sites that employ non-intrusive and consumer respecting ad practices. Block the bad ones, allow the good ones.

I tried looking up Adblock due to the audible ad bullshit on Kinja now, and all I got was google saying I already have adblock on, which is about as true as Donny the Tramp actually being a stable genius.
