Reading that was extremely calming. Thank you for sharing.

Today was nice. I spent the day with a friend (and former colleague) and we have this really lovely friendship that can seem a bit unconventional at times to others, mainly because of our age difference. I’m 34 and she’s 57. I’m single with no kids and she’s married with three daughters who are all in their early

Anyone else following the Sara Gruen/Hatchimal debacle?

She should. I love this show and she’s consistently been terrific. I’ve been shocked that she’s been ignored by the Emmy’s the entire time this show has been on. She’s also begun directing episodes as well. Fiona’s the heart of this show, much more than Frank is. Frank has become one-note at this point. Fiona’s been

No kids, but I grew up poor- and I looked forward to Christmas because my mom went out of her way to make it an experience. She would find all the free holiday events in the area and take us and buy small gifts for a dollar or less and do our own 12 days of Christmas. She’d make popcorn and we’d watch a different

True but I think there are many of us in the anxious throes of Trumpocalypse, where even the smallest decisions seem capable of having dire consequences. It’s a paralyzing mind-fuck.

“There is a part of me that wants my kids to feel, at least in some relatively painless and abstract way, that the world is fucked.”

I didn’t realize your 3 and 5 year old were personally responsible for the state of the world but if you really feel like ruining their Christmas instead of doing anything proactive like, oh, I don’t know, contacting your senator or volunteering with an organization that’s actively affected by the state of things,

I’m also not sure why this is manifesting itself nearly 10 years later like this. I get this is an accumulation of things, but they said the exact same thing when he got drunk and barged up on stage to steal Taylor Swift’s mic.

Certainly a parent can’t know everything their kid does, but it’s always surprising to me when the parents seem to have no inkling how gross their kid is.

But why now? Why This Sperm?

I didn’t really think Kanya and Kim were going to divorce (yet), but Cheban’s post now has me convinced it’s going to happen any minute.

we have a coworker who is a wonderful, wonderful woman. she’s beautiful, kind, caring, thoughtful, and sweet as all get out.

California has the 6th largest economy in the world, most states receive funds from the taxes we pay and that’s okay. California is heavily in favor of social services, human rights, personal freedoms, alternative energy. People want to live in a place that aligns with their beliefs. If they are poor artists they are

She was very close to her family. But it was well known in Corpus Christi her dad was not that supportive of her English pop music transition and resented her husband’s support of her. They have retained a tight control over image to protect it from exploitation. It’s so horrible they can’t agree how to present her

I won’t say that smoking pot cured my depression, because I’m sure that’s too simplistic. I had been going through depression waxing and waning for over ten years, and had smoked pot very infrequently without any lasting effects. But one night I was feeling particularly low, and there was some very old pot in the

but fuck they never say anything like “i couldn’t imagine what i’m going through and having to get up every day and go to a shit job and make rent at the same time.”

I think that it can sometimes be very challenging for people who do have financial and social privilege to admit that they’re struggling with mental illnesses, because of the assumption that if you have financial security you shouldn’t “complain”. I know that as a kid who grew up in a very abusive yet well-off home, i

One of the worst things about treatment resistant depression is the insistence that “you just have to find the right med cocktail!” when you’re taking more pills than your 90-year-old grandmother, have side effects that make you even more depressed and that no doctor gives a shit about, your own therapist says she

Can you imagine if they ended it like that? JLaw kills Pratt after he goes nuts, and then the movie ends with her doing the same thing - researching one of the guys in hibernation before awakening him so she can have a companion? That would be dark.
