Far too little. Get it together, justice system that consistently minimizes the seriousness of gender based violence.

No doubt that Warren’s statements will elicit even louder “sighs” of regret from the Democratic electorate who wish that she was running.

So will this dipshit say

Yes, I had to think of that too, Leslie Mann teaching the spoilt girls The Secret.

It’s a book that basically says your most selfish impulses are great and you deserve all the toys in the world. The movie The Bling Ring features a woman whose idea of homeschooling her teenage daughter and the daughter’s friend is having them make endless “vision boards”—that is, a collage of all the junk you want.…

Ha. I spent way too many years buying clothes that didn't fit, because I was going to lose the weight any day now! The only result was that I lost money and didn't have clothes that fit.

If I had a dollar for every spiritual new agey person that I have wanted to punch in the face for blaming me for causing my own illnesses, I could go on a little shopping spree right now! Or you know, buy some of the drugs i require to stay alive...

—For example, in 2007 Barbara Ehrenreich, an author and social critic, ridiculed the book’s weight control advice to “not observe” overweight people.—

I honestly have no clue. For me it started with buying into stuff like “we are pure energy and can heal ourselves, we can manifest things and health only with our thoughts.”
But I went into the David Icke and RedIceCreations and Coast2Coast real deep. Everything was a conspiracy, it just made so much sense. The…

That is so utterly fucked up of them and that asinine tome. But it reminds me of several erstwhile friends who dumped me for my “negative energy”...while I was caring for my terminally ill mother at home. So I am sending you big hugs and “positive energy” because you deserve all of it.

I call them “spiritual materialists”. These are the people that surround themselves with the symbols and objects of so-called spirituality. That bash you over the head with their so-called spirituality. That think you’re defective because you don’t follow their brand of so-called spirituality. They suck just as much…

Ha, I love that adherents of The Secret or seedier mainstream religious movements like the Gospel of Prosperity seem to think they’ve found a sort of loophole, as though God or the Universe or whatever has to let them positive-energy their way into whatever bullshit they want, cause thems the rules. I wonder if it’s a…

I meant my aunt said my “friend” had amazing energy, and I wondered if I had the same energy she did from meditating as much if I would have cured her. It seemed at the time like a validation of my friends perspective.

I’m sorry, that sounds awful, what a shitty person and friend to make you feel responsible for your family’s death.

It goes even uglier in some cults and “channelings”. Something about their souls in the “non-physical” making agreements with other souls to experience atrocities for “growth and learning.”

Btw, you’re on fire tonight and being all magnificent.

If you haven’t seen the doc Pink Ribbons Inc, I highly recommend it. I really appreciated that they emphasized how destructive forced positive thinking can be when someone is terminally ill. How dare anyone tell someone who is fighting for their life to be more positive and gracious. Like you said, there’s nothing…

As I raised my kids I imparted my experiences that if you can
“see” someone’s spirituality, if they “wear it” and “exude it” you can be 99 99/100% sure they’re full of shit and most likely a preditor.

Omg yes. That is the crap that my ex best friend said to me. As though *I* was the negative force in her life, holding her back from riches and happiness. That *I* was treating her like shit.

I find that most self-described ‘spiritual’ types are really passive-aggressive selfish, self-indulgent assholes with a lot of unresolved anger issues, and a lot of them are narcissists too. They just dress all that shit up in a lot of new-agey sprituality crap.

Dear gods, is this perfect timing. This past summer, my best friend suddenly became hostile and unfriendly; no warning, no explanation, no anything. Then I found out that she had been excluding me from activities we used to do with two other gfs, and then posting their fun on Facebook for me to see. This put the other…
