For anyone interested in hearing more about the practice of ‘whacking’ (i.e. poking holes in victim’s accounts by trying to trip them up on peripheral details of the event) there’s an excellent segment/podcast done by CBC’s The Current which takes a look at it, including a talk with a neurobiologist who talks about…

How dare you cite sources?! You were supposed to be a casual racist, but it turns out that you actually know what you’re talking about!

Thank you for bringing up some much needed perspective about the internet, re: the big chasm between complaints about “the ESJAYDUBAYUS” vs. the pervasive abuse of all manner of forums by all manner of predatory types.

A couple of things:

Get ready for a week long conversation about What Your Kids Are Doing On The Internet. I bet Chris Hansen’s media schedule is booked until next Tuesday.

And not all Christians beat their kids.

Any opportunity, right?

I wonder if the Kardashians really feel like she is “preying” on Rob. Like, Tyga literally started sleeping with Kylie as a minor, and Blac Chyna is a predator?

You sound so much like me. My prenatal and postpartum depression was totally missed with my first child until I started getting suicidal thoughts when she was 5 months old. Up until that point almost nobody believed that I could be depressed. Which is a whole other can of worms because I had basically all the risk…

Honestly, I think it’s because as a female you are worried you’ll be judged if you don’t show up. Dudes just take for granted that they can stay home when they are sick, their kid is sick, or it’s dangerous to travel.

I got brutally honest about it after I got over the worst. I had postpartum depression/psychosis* and the end result was a week vacation on the mental ward. Nobody caught it for eight months, and it was caught by my normal psychologist who has no training or experience with it. And this was after I had been…

This shit is incredibly hard and I’m glad you are telling your story and keeping that shit real when people ask. I am doing the same thing. I feel like helping other people gives another type of meaning to all the bad I felt before, and the decision to get help, if that makes sense. I want to share my story if it can…

I struggled to get nursing to work for my 1st baby - like just about everyone, I suppose. The crippling guilt that I would ‘ruin’ my baby if I switched to (or supplemented with) formula. I had a very cool granny-ish nurse take my hand and say “you just have to love him, and do your best for BOTH of you...formula…

I keep reading through the comments about how women are taken off antidepressants because of risks with breastfeeding and it makes me rage something monstrous. Obviously, if it’s something super important to you, you are free to make a choice for breastfeeding in absence of antidepressants or concomitant with them,…

I had prenatal and postpartum depression. Still dealing with postpartum depression.

Gillian Anderson is so much better than everyone, given what she has to work with. You could tell Scully was tired of it all, but still drawn to Mulder and the "theory" given what she has seen and experienced—that's all real to her. Remember Clyde Bruckman's words to her....

I actually really liked this first reboot episode. It’s kind of like slipping back into a well-worn shoe that you should probably throw away but that you love so much that you put it on and it just feels right.

“Navy Seal? Let’s see where it gets you in my fockin. fockin cartel” ~~~Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman or Danielle “Prostitution Whooooer” Staub?
