This comment bugs me. Mainly because it’s exactly the kind of mentality that inhibits me from being open with my partner or anyone else about my depression. Your comment is a confirmation of my fears and anxieties, about how much I burden him, suck all the energy from his life, and how he must struggle daily just to…

Do not stay in a marriage with a clinically depressed partner. A marriage only taxes the depressed partner more, and the supportive one can never gain anything from it.

You have really good taste.

I love that she’s bringing attention for non-binary trans individuals!

My granddaughter is 6. 100% tomboy. She will not play with girl toys, wear girl clothes (even her underwear are boys), etc. She paints her nails but only because painting is fun and she likes the colors. She has a piggy bank that her grandpa and I give her spare change to save, she earns money here and there doing…

I actually did save money when I was 5, it’s actually quite a silly story. Banks and stuff showed up on the telly a lot and since my mom was complaining about money I had decided to become a bank to help out. At the time she made my sister share her school allowance with me, so this was about $1 per month (enough to…

It seems to me that in trying to be progressive about trans people, the commentariat has really embraced the binary. Like you said, Ruby was awesome when she was a badass lesbian, and Ruby would be awesome if he were a trans dude, but to be in this liminal and fluid space gender-wise, that’s not so easy. In fact, I…

dude there’s some really fucking weird responses to this article

All it’s missing is a side job involving artisanal soaps.

The DR is ramping up ethnic cleansing of blacks of Haitian descent.

it’s not a rational thought process though?

Maybe he was actually a really great person that just happened to be depressed. It’s not like depression is a type of personality, it’s much more complicated.

Have you ever tried to committed suicide?, when i did it i did not think that i was being selfish at the time because i thought that ending my life was the best thing, i thought that everyone around me thought i was burden and i was just making things worse, i thought the best thing would be if i was not around. When…

Is it This American Life where the woman talks with her mom about verboten topics of conversation, because of how boring and stupid they are - you guys know what I’m talking about? The mom is all prim and proper (I picture, like, a female version of Charles Emerson Winchester III), but gets practically apoplectic with…

Y’know, when I see stills of Channing Tatum, he doesn’t do much for me. He’s very cute but so dopey looking.

Is anyone else watching Sens8 on Netflix? It’s...OK...I guess. Maybe not. Anyway, two of the main characters are a lesbian couple and there is a scene in one of the first episodes in which they are having sex and it is pretty standard hard-R lesbian sexing and then they disengage and it is shown that one of them is…

Are these movies for people too embarrassed to watch porn?
