Yup. People like me. If you just read a little further below, you’d see that my line to withdraw care is brain death.

I mean, the only reason that I tend to make sure we all eat at the same time when we’re home is because I want my goddamn kitchen to be cleaned in fell swoop. But if my kid promises to clean up her own mess, she can eat whenever the fuck she wants.

It’s just another form of “mean girls”. The super ironic edition.

What if I see my body as an avatar to be customized at will for my own enjoyment?

And DNA has nothing to do with tribe membership.

I shared this story on Jezebel before, but it was a long time ago, so might as well tell it again:

My dad would insist on reading us The Littlest Angel, and then he would cry Every. Single. Time.

Kind of. Even with the absolute best therapies and interventions, these folks are still likely to engage in very destructive behaviors that hurt others. They can only learn that these destructive behaviors are less likely to get them what they want, but it will be a constant battle and they can still do ALOT of damage…

I read a novel recently where the protagonist is a young woman with borderline personality disorder who recognizes it, is in therapy and medicated and trying not to be a shitheel to everyone around her. I realized that I’d never seen a narrative of someone with BPD or narcissistic personality disorder where they were…

Very true. We as humans don’t want to believe that neurotypical people can do horrible things but sometimes humans are just horrible. Not because of mental illness or prior abuse but because they are just horrible. That being said, I do believe this young girl is depressed. But I don’t believe her depression is why…

Thirty years ago in Boston I was a psych nurse. I had a couple of patients who’d been given legal lobotomies, and there’s a reason they’re now illegal. No one, I don’t care who they are, should ever be subjected to a lobotomy.

It might help only if they want it to. No amount of therapy will fix someone who doesn’t care whether they are not ‘normal.’

lobotomy works

I think it’s easy to say people are mentally ill when they kill, because the idea of someone doing it not as a result of mental illness is incomprehensible on some level. It’s not always the case.

A larger number of educated white women voted for Clinton than had voted for Obama.

And 65% of white men, but no one calls them out for it (but the OP was talking about the sexist men of the left, not on the right — thanks for making sure we know you’re one of them).

we call our Boston Terrier the House Hippo, nice to see people who still remember that great PSA

Mope Diamond

Lol emo culture. Right up there with NASCAR culture.

I intend to be ALL the dicks about this.
