This conservatorship is an absolute disgrace. Britney Spears has certainly displayed very concerning behavior before, she has well-documented mental health issues, and I have no doubt she would struggle, maybe mightily, to handle her own affairs. And, so what? That last sentence describes lots of people, including…

It’s like an episode The Handmaid’s Tale. They would never rob a man of his bodily control over a pretty pedestrian breakdown (I challenge you to find a parent who hasn’t had one at least once) and a treatable mental illness. This situation is sick.

the IUD...just...my goodness

wow this is so much worse than we thought 

What?

That man is a fucking grifter. Yall should listen to the Scam Goddess episode about him. 

Thank you. I get that the average American doesn’t know that and probably doesn’t care but every candidate who sets foot on a debate stage should damn well know it.

I don’t think racism or violent racist acts are mental illnesses, if that is what you are proposing here (if you are not, my apologies).

I don’t know anyone personally and I am not New Yorker.

So as someone who works with people with mental disabilities, behavioral issues, and emotional disorders, etc.

“Let’s fight bigotry against AAPI with bigotry against the mentally ill!”

ugh, don’t go there. just because people are jerks and have bad opinions doesn’t = mentally ill. that’s frustrating and part of the stigmas around mentally ill. blaming shitty people on mental illness is not much better.

Reminder that in most circumstances the mentally ill are more likely to be victims of violence than perpetrators. Also Yang is kind of trash, js. 

I’m sorry, how clueless, Ignorant, and Idiotic can a person be??

she was probably taking notes on how to do things.  So when the GQP finishes their takeover of the country.

Seconded, particularly because if you actually listen and look at serial killers — even the super interesting splashy “charming” or I-used-to-dress-up-as-a-clown ones — their lives are a combination of childhood trauma and early-adult narcissistic delusions of grandeur that come up against a wall of staggering…

What I can’t stand about the mythologizing of serial killers is the prevailing belief that they must be “special” to have been able to kill x number of people or a real genius to be able to get away with it.

I got a huge laugh at Times Square being the man’s favorite subway stop. Most New Yorkers don’t spend time there unless absolutely necessary.
