That was amazing, thank you! And also a really great alternative to calling him a literal shithead.

Thank you so much!

Thank you <3

Just what I needed to read, I was already starting to obsess. On that note, I’m wondering if there’s a resource for people to find professionals in their area with regard to BED? I had it under control for almost 10 years and it has come back with a vengeance.

Side note - anyone here who came of age in the ‘80's instantly transported back to junior high school by the name “Shortey”? I went to a school where kids referred to other kids as “shorty” or if in a particularly good mood “shor-TAY”. Just me? I’m old.

I know. My response to the whole headline was “wha.....?????? The hell.....??????”

This was my feeling after visiting in 2008 on my honeymoon (just before the worst part of the recession hit). True story: I was sitting in Banyan Tree Park on Maui and my eye was caught by a man toking up on a joint with a friend. I was inexplicably delighted by this as even though he seemed to have nothing but the…

I am so freaked out by seeing not only cherry blossoms in FULL BLOOM but fucking pink magnolias IN FULL BLOOM in the DC area right now. Nothing is right, nothing is as it should be, down is up, up is down...

Why not both?

Both of those look pretty stupid. I wanted to see how closely the “attractive” moves aligned with some classic bellydance moves and was unsurprised to find that they didn’t really. Since “gypsy-dance-around-the-fire-bellydance-style” is kind of how I dance no matter where I am I’ll just dance however the fuck I want,…

PROPER USE OF TWITTER??? Are you fucking kidding me?

What’s your podcast? I’m really into them lately, although mostly the true crime ones, but I love Faculty Of Horror...

It’s so.... oddly cute?

What is the one of the Grim Reaper? I must know! Thank you in advance!

In a way it was and in another way it wasn’t - I didn’t feel like there was any danger or threat to me, just a detached curiosity - which is often a phrase I have heard in combinations of other phrases with different types of therapies - like for binge eating disorder or extreme negative self talk. I’ve encountered…

This is why I can’t meditate.

I once accidentally hypnotized myself - I was in my early 20's and was looking in the mirror and then I had the strangest sensation that I was looking at my face in the mirror but it wasn’t my face or more to the point, there was a part of consciousness that was aware that I was looking at myself and yet it was…

Tanith Lee - Red As Blood book of short stories including the title story and my favorite - Wolfland - which is a great reimagining of Little Red Riding Hood (there’s a movie too, which I don’t remember very well). I love this version as well as Angela Carter’s Company Of Wolves.
