And of course the children found it very upsetting.

Blanche: It’s been my experience that wealthy men make the best lovers.

Wow so brave

Hannah, Parmageddon is way better than Cheddarmegeddon. It’s important to me that you know that.

With everything going on in the world right now, the disappointment of no cheese is adding insult to injury. I imagine a world where cheese is fully available to everyone. This is the platform I’m running on. “A chicken in every oven, a fondue in every pot.” #ck2020

This. I’m the black sheep of my family - everyone else is some degree of conservative Republican. There are a few who probably think they need to save me because they think I’m going to hell. I grew up believing what they believed, but started to evolve my own beliefs when I moved away and went to college. I imagine…

The same way that so many reasonable, empathetic liberals come from bigoted conservative families, probably. They found an ideological system that resonated with them and rejected their family’s input.

I get this, but in reverse. In an argument with my father this weekend, he took the side of Nazi protesters and told me that if I wasn’t so pathetic I’d be able to do something to improve my life and the lives of my family. Because I believed the government should condemn nazism.

Family can suck. I’ve had to have some really, really difficult conversations with mine lately (fortunately none of them are “Nazi in the street type crazy,” just “average Republican crazy”) and it’s just been...hard. Luckily my sister and I are on the same page about most things, so we have each other’s back, but…

People like you make the world a vastly better place.

Great post. It’s amazing what “looking good”, whatever a persons idea of that is, does for someone. The reason why I never wore pajamas to take a test, etc. My big thing right now is my nails. I absolutely hate doing it, but it makes me feel good about myself after the fact. Whatever it is for anyone else, good for…

At the same time, if getting her to eat or change her clothes is a struggle that takes priority over the hair. This is her most visible symptom, but maybe not her worst problem. Her parents may really be trying.

You are lovely and wonderful, and made a difference in peoples lives.

I’ve lived with pretty severe bipolar disorder I since I was 14 (diagnosed only at age 28, but the symptoms set in far, far earlier than that). I know the pain of being so depressed you can’t get out of bed for days at a time, so much that even the thought of showering is too exhausting to accomplish. I know how it…

I’d also think - after the hair has become matted - it becomes one of the factors that can fuel and help maintain the depression.

This is at least the third article I’ve read in a similar vein — about depressed people neglecting their self-care — in the last month or two. I don’t know what has caused this emergence, but I welcome it. I work from home so I’m not worried about what I look/smell like to other people, so my depression wins most…

“Patriotic nipples” made me snort outloud.

Exactly and this wasn’t a spontaneous event. Police had months to prepare and they did nothing.

None of those men were/are cops. They’re all nazis dressed in their surplus store duds.

Thank god Mr. Harris has good friends who stepped up to help him. I wish for him to have a speedy recovery and I’m glad the photographer is helping his mother identify the thugs who did this.
