I have to say that both pharmacology and psychological talk therapy personally saved me from killing myself, hands down. I feel it's necessary to say that, because someone may be thinking about getting some help and be discouraged from your post. (Nothing personal, but when I was really fucking depressed, I took…

Both of the things you cite do indeed work for a LOT of people, and have enabled them to have lives they might otherwise have been deprived of. The sad fact is that a great many people with mental health problems either don't seek help, or don't stick with what might help them eventually (by which I mean people who…

It must be terrible for black parents to have to tell their children "Even if you're unarmed, even if you're well-behaved, even if you do everything right, there is still a chance that a white police officer will murder you in the street with your hands up."

The craziest thing to me in the aftermath of these killings is how accepting most people are of the militarization of the police. I fully expect that when video footage is found (dashcam or otherwise), Mike Brown will have done nothing that could warrant a reaction with fatal force, but people will still look and…

I miss the greys.

brought back the greys

Why not just block all gifs? They aren't usually as clever as the poster thinks, anyway.

Yes. And the fanfic was called "Master of the Universe." Srsly. Lol. I remember reading a "bootleg" copy of it because the original had been pulled from her site because she was reworking it for original publishing and I was like "Ha! Good luck, there!! No one is going to buy this crap." Which just goes to show I…

This will never make sense to me. I have eight bazillion bottles of Sinful Colors nail polish (at less than $2 a pop) - I finish them off with a Sally Hansen top coat and they stay FOREVER. On my fingernails, I've never had the color chip and that stuff can stay on my toenails until they grow out.

Pink? For nails? How groundbreaking.

The heart wants what the heart wants.

Holy crap. You could buy 5 b. of sugar, 5 lb. of flour, a can of cocoa, and all the ingredients you need for about $15 and make dozens and dozens of cupcakes!

Yep that's the one I was at too! SO much fun, such great energy! And we even got a rainbow :)

Here's what I posted on i09 this morning:

Yes. I've seen so many comments whining about how "all" the movies now are about girls. Really? REALLY? There are NO movies for and about men anymore? Captain America and Lone Survivor and Robocop and Non-Stop and Need for Speed and the 300 sequel - those are movies about girls? Even if you look at YA, there was…

I read an article that they have founded their own charity solely for the purpose of supporting the Duggar family. They accept 'donations' to support their family and promote their lifestyle. Those donations are tax deductible and corporations have taken advantage of that. Sysco has donated truckloads of food to…

Better watch the opening ceremonies if you want to see all the athletes before they get mauled by stray dogs/disappeared by Putin's goon squads/pummeled by Russian anti-gay gangs/melted by toxic Sochi water/broken in half by dangerous event courses.

Oh my bad. I'm not fully versed on the rules for stupid things.
