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…

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…

I heard an interview with Wynonna Judd (I think?) on Fresh Air describing her own life struggles. She said something that sounds so simple but profoundly struck me which was: I try not to compare myself to other people, because I tend to come out on the losing end.

I feel like your inconveniences are less important than the real issues here, yet somehow you wrote an entire article about how much it sucks to be cold.

For you, being trapped in a hotel in North Dakota during a blizzard in subzero temperatures will be a story you tell for the rest of your life. For midwesterners, it was Tuesday.

there is no predictability as to how Trump will treat his enemies, there is just as little in determining how he will treat his “friends” aka lackeys

Chris Christie is a cautionary tale for anyone who thinks that by sticking to Trump they will be rewarded for their loyalty. After everything he did for Ompa Loompa Hitler, all he got for his trouble was to first see the VP be taken, then lose the head of the transition team, and now not a single word of him being…

My thoughts exactly!

71% of NJ voters thought he should have been charged in Bridgegate.....is this the SAME Christie that led “Lock Her Up” chants? WHY YES. IT IS.

Right? Poor kid. Let him enjoy his childhood. He’ll be ground under by the misery of adulthood too soon. Let him wear the damn dinosaur shoes.

Let the kid wear the dinosaur shoes outside FFS. You just said life is too short.

I know that not everyone here loves her (and this is not an invitation to tell me what you think of her...trust me, I’ve already heard it) but I’m genuinely a fan of HRC and am still just so sad that she didn’t win. Can’t care about Joe - or any other candidate - right now/yet. :(

Yep, honestly, that’s where I am. He actually seems to try to think sometimes? This is where we are now in America. Praising an appointee because he may not be inherently evil and may try to think.

We’re fucked.

Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. We’re all gonna be homeless while millions of corporate-owned homes across the country will stand empty with rents that no one can afford to pay. That’s those of us that even survive this administration, anyway.

His lack of impulse control is both astonishing and terrifying. And I disagree that the China situation is the goddamn worst. I’m afraid we haven’t seen anything yet.

Four months. Or four days, please God.

He’s like a fucking toddler that demands a grilled cheese sandwich for lunch and by the time it’s made he doesn’t want it anymore and has run off to eat dirt.

Because if there’s anything that should be a “surprise”, it’s our relationship with one of the most powerful countries in the world, and one of our most important trade partners.

I mean, remember he told us he couldn’t tell us his plans for ISIS because that would be giving it away? Or when he said that he’d “see” if he’d accept the results of the election?
