Yes! Honestly, anyone who hasn’t had to sit on their hands about something - whether it was a comment towards them, a co-worker or a client, concerning sexism, racism, or the multitude of shitty things a person can say - in order to gain better footing in a company/organization is very, very lucky. And it’s not…

This website helped me find my last therapist: https://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms

The biggest hurdle for me is always having to remind myself that anything is better than nothing, so I quit all fitspo - I didn’t like to be reminded of all of the fitness I’m not doing when there’s nothing wrong with the fitness activities I gravitate towards (walking, running, basic yoga). I’m instead trying to find…

Dang, I thought I was laying it on thick, but apparently not. Here it is simply: a white person can and should understand how a history of white supremacy (i.e. slavery, Jim Crow, redlining, mass incarceration, etc.) impacts the everyday actions of police against black communities in this country in order to better…

I guess I assumed it was always visible. Much in the way that I have always been aware on some level of the sound of their balls slapping away during doggy style. Everything about sex is gross if you want it to be.

This is gonna blow your mind, but there are white people, including yours truly, who manage to read sentences like that and still learn about black communities. I know those mental gymnastics might seem intimidating, but I promise you I have an average level of intelligence.

1000 x this. Doctors can get screwed in so many different directions if they cause any type of harm - fatal, non-fatal, or in matters of billing. Billing. And we’re allowing cops who have killed people for not nearly a good enough reason to keep their jobs. We do not value life in this country.

Still always worth it to come forward if you choose to!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fines in the millions at the very least.

I was wondering the same thing. In the US, cases like these usually come up when there are two parties with similar rights to power of attorney who have differing wishes about the family member.

Precisely. I’ve known children who doctors urged to be DNR who ended up making amazing gains, and others whose condition never improved. I commend medical experts who offer their opinions after weighing these decisions carefully, but at the end of the day you just have to send your thoughts to the parents who are…

You’re not wrong about guys dodging the nepotism label more often than they should. I guess there’s just something particular about a Coppola (Sofia) film that smells like an unusually big budget. For instance, Marie Antoinette would have been pretty awful without the insane set/costumes/etc, which leads me to wonder …

Girl here in complete agreement. Lost In Translation and The Virgin Suicides were brilliant. Marie Antoinette was a feature-length Aphex Twin music video, and I have no idea what to do with Somewhere. I have a feeling that there are female directors who aren’t the daughter of the godfather of... never mind, who might…

Bless your heart is shade.

I used to smoke, but once I started to approach 30 and health became something to actually plan around, I immediately quit. Anyone who cares what they eat, how much they exercise, or thinks about their skin, AND smokes....? Ischemic heart disease, followed by stroke and COPD, are the top 3 killers in the US. Smoking…

Maybe I spent to much of my babysitting money on glossy magazines, but what she’s saying makes a lot of sense. Different models get really different kinds of spreads even though they all meet the same basic model criteria. Like Giselle, for example, would get a “sexy” spread 10x more than say, Daria Werbowy, who would…

I really wish that frats were recognized for what they are - organizations that promote unsafe/illegal behavior through coersion etc. - and that these actions were recognized as abusive/illegal so that municipal law enforcement could just break them up. 

But not all sororities/fraternaties wahhhh!

There’s also a piece written somewhere in the internet stratosphere that I can’t locate now about how concerns about vaccines in communities from developing countries have to do with a lot more than autism. Folks are confused and upset about the potential spread of diseases (e.g. HIV) and about being used as test…

It was mostly Bonpoint, supplemented by the rare minnie-sized item from a variety of obscure international designers. Think, bespoke jackets from Notting Hill and pint-sized 45r pieces.
