Sauerkraut, you look like straw

Sam Lucas’s message to Candace Owens is absolutely worth mentioning here.

I worked as a nurse in a locked psych facility. One of my NAC’s lost a baby this way. She was not prosecuted because I don’t live in a shit state, apparently. She was just gutted over it, because she had no education in her life that had ever led her to be able to understand how the biology of all this works. She…

Just went to the I2 Wrap party last weekend, and as is tradition, we sit through the credits until the end. Everyone claps typically when the directors, producers, etc. names appear on screen, but the claps immediately stopped when JL’s name showed up. Just in case anyone wanted to know how most Pixarians feel about…

I know you live in Toronto, but if you’re ever in the SF bay area, the Pelvic Health and Rehabilitation Center saved my ass. I had a similar story, but I just had crazy pain like I was being torn in half if I put so much as a finger inside me. It took 6ish years and 6+ doctors before I was referred to them. I got lots…

Thank you for writing and sharing that. I have some unusual (or maybe not...?) sexual responses related to ejaculation, not just from the “front” glands as I think of them (the prostate/sponge/whatever) but also from higher up in the reproductive system. I think I have figured out where it comes from, there’s some…

I need to give a bit of background to my encounter with a Dr. Gerber (saying his name, because at this point I’m like... fuck it, ladies: If you live in the GTA, avoid this guy, he’s a quack).

Ugh I work at an agency and I’m tired of these stories. They’re mainly just so people outside of DC/not civil servants can secondhand wallow in our misery.

I mean, it’s likely that the right-winger who yelled at you doesn’t know what any of those words mean (or, if he’s not one of the idiot followers, he deliberately misuses them as a bad-faith attack).

And then there’s the poor bastard who has to deliver Trump’s McDonald’s order each day.

I live in DC, and I can’t believe there are people in this town who would care about politics so much while not understanding that being a public servant is different from a political appointment. I’m personally calling BS on the idea that someone has to cancel dates because they work as a fed at HHS. For the most…

Here is where you can contact Texas Governor Gregg Abbott to ask for her pardon. https://gov.texas.gov/contact

This is reminding me of the most rage-inducing incident I ever saw re: tennis commentating. Before the semi-finals of a grand slam, a commentator (not a former player) had on Evert and some dude who ONCE was in a grand slam semi-final to talk about how the players must be feeling getting ready for the match. Evert was…

In ‘Grief is weird, it’s been a month’:

I live in the Finger Lakes region. The geese are here year round and they shit on everything and behave like aggressive assholes. That said, in this I’m team goose. Twats like Golisano have bought up all the lakefront property and with their giant houses and land grabs have made it impossible for anyone but the rich…

Thanks it’s a hastily written oversimplification but it’s wild that this part isn’t known by more of the public considering the large amount of concern about the issue in general. Here is a good podcast if you are into that sort of thing, https://www.marketplace.org/2017/12/13/health-care/uncertain-hour/s02-4-sentence-…

Sackler promoted Valium for such a wide range of uses that, in 1965, a physician writing in the journal Psychosomatics asked, “When do we not use this drug?” One campaign encouraged doctors to prescribe Valium to people with no psychiatric symptoms whatsoever: “For this kind of patient—with no demonstrable…

I posted this as a reply to a thread but wanted to put it up separately also I am a grey commenter so most won’t see it anyway.

Purdue actively pushed a 12 hour narcotic for the purpose of gaining market share, this feature was the reason it was approved by the FDA. They knew that the drug only worked for 8 hours yet…

That is not sewage, y’all. That is CLEARLY demonic ichor of some kind.

There are many infuriating things about this story, but the largest is that CBS puts exactly none of the onus of resolving the conflict on the guy, and all of it on the woman. That is some obscene victim-blaming right there.
