GAH I NEED TO KNOW THOUGHHHH!!!!! (Yes, I know this is irrelevant to my life).

literally cannot believe scheana got on TV and said someone’s character was in question because they fuck a married guy

Katie is the worst for being an alcoholic rage monster in complete denial who is willing to emotionally abuse her boyfriend to ignore the problem. DJ James Kennedy is the worst because he is James Kennedy (although these lines about women wanting water and cake he can’t provide them makes me concerned he doesn’t…

How is anchor babby formed?

Such a great point about the need for showing the actual diversity among people with EDs! I was afforded a lot of privilege in the recognition and treatment of anorexia because I was essentially the poster child for the diagnosis. I remember being shocked and saddened the first time I read about how many women and men…

Exactly! Therapeutic and not triggering, that would be ideal. I have to imagine that a female-led project will collectively have personal experiences with EDs to draw from, so I’m (anxiously) hopeful that they can pull it off. At the same time, I have no idea if my triggers are other people’s triggers or if I’m far…

Yes! You put this so perfectly and eloquently. I think the difference for me is that it’s really unclear how it could go. It could be cathartic and educational and actually start a conversation (and maybe, if it’s done well it would show faces of ED that aren’t young, white, cis-women (a category I fall into) that are…

I’m not sure what to think about a dark comedy about eating disorders. I’ve been “in remission” from anorexia for about 15 yrs, but when I’m honest with myself I’ve had some relapses. So in a way it feels too close to home? Then again, I love dark comedies mostly because a central feature of the genre tends to be the…

As someone who had (has? will always have? I’m never sure what tense to use) an eating disorder by first reaction to this was anger followed immediately by “oh wait...I actually want to see that”

Thank you. I feel the same way. It was foolish, but God knows I’ve done foolish things in my youth that very well could’ve killed people. He didn’t harm or kill anyone and this is sad as hell. I hate that his family will most likely see that video.

I agree. All this “What an idiot. He had it coming.” attitude in the comments? Jeez, you guys.

Apparently we do negotiate with muslim terrorists though, I’m listening to Serial and that’s how the US got Bowe Bergdahl back.

Hi, did you forget us? Both nominated by Obama.

Oh, my god, can you imagine the collective conniption fit of the Republicans in Congress if President Hillary Clinton nominated Former President Barak Obama for the Supreme Court? Holy shit.

DAMN MEGYN KELLY STOP MAKING ME LIKE YOU SO MUCH

I WILL BE GREAT FOR ALL WOMEN

I have ID channel on in the background and I’m pretty sure there were at least 3 versions of this story while I’ve been sitting here.

Not exactly, no. Choice is the first thing that goes, psychologically, when you’re in a cult. And you can’t underestimate psychological control.

This is America, we all have a choice in everything but death. That doesn’t mean every path is a feasible one to take.

Oh ok so you’re just being deliberately obtuse as to why someone indoctrinated in something since birth hat tells them they're less than and must be subserviant, with no real education can’t “just leave”.
