Wow. I hope that outrage over this sparks his removal. What a shitshow.

I’m so glad to help, honestly this book has been revelatory to me. There are things that bugged me in past relationships that I couldn’t put a finger on, but the author was able explain. For me, I had an abusive family, so a lot of things that should have raised red flags seemed normal. I honestly think there are a…

Oh wow I am so glad you ditched him. Im reading an interesting book about domestic violence that you might want to check out, author dies a goid job of describing things I’ve struggled to articulate. Apparentkt it’s not uncommon for abusive men to want to rescue women from other abusers. Book is called Why does he do…

This is so, so good. Her work as an artist gets reduced to a personal lens. She gets reduced to how she looked (the unibrow! The red lips!), and how she suffered. Rather than how she worked. To kitsch rather than an artist who put intention, thought, and work into composition, color. Who was intentional in the…

No shit this seems so very obvious!

I know I just can’t stop laughing at this. This is making my day.

I have never head of these, thanks I will check them out for my kids. I really wish that the adults around me would have unpacked some of the problematic stuff in the Little House books with me, I read them as a kid completely uncritically.

This is insanely beautiful but holy shit. Looks like these caftans go for $1,000-2,000!

I love me a good caftan! So comfy.

God, this is so thought provoking. Thanks, I will be rereading and thinking about this for days.

I think that is true, but I have also read that when highly intelligent people have their viewpoints questioned, or are confronted with conflicting evidence, they use their intelligence to defend their view, not to examine the evidence. So they can end up feeling even stronger about their POV.

My former sister in law was a nurse. She was on the fence about vaccinations. She bought a book about it that was actually science based and of course told her to vaccinate but she didn’t like the book because it apparently wasn’t balanced. God it was so annoying to try to keep a straight face when she told me that.

Willfully ignorant. There is no reason for them to be so fucking dumb other than they like feeling morally superior. Oh these shots and diseases are for other people. Poor people. People who don’t eat organic.

I can only imagine how frustrating seeing all this anti vax stuff must be for you. I live in the epicenter of this measles outbreak, am very pro vaccination. The dumb shit I hear on a daily basis makes me want to rip my hair out and punch someone. Maybe not in that order.

Interesting, apparently a woman was treated with genetically modified measles as a cancer treatment, but that has nothing to do with catching measles. I have heard this myth too. Source:

She has a book called “Healing the Soul of America” that is having a special 20th anniversary revised edition coming out. This is a BS publicity stunt.

Oh wow...That was one of the most interesting reads.

Holy shit that is so awful for that girl! Good for you and your parents.

I’ve read similar research for spousal abusers. That they claim they were abused in childhood at a high percentage rate, but when told they were going to do a polygraph test, their claims changed. The researched interpreted it as they were looking for sympathetic reasons they could cite for their abuse, but that they…

Not going to lie, listening to Rent again yesterday brought me right back to being a teenager in the late 90s again...I couldn’t help but have fondness for it.
