Did you ever consider that first dates are nerve wracking, and for some people, a reaction to nerves is to be overly chatty? It may take a lot to get oneself into the mindset of being a good first date, the outgoing nature and friendliness toward servers and bartenders may just be spillover from an attempt to get…

Mel Brooks at his finest!!

So the pro-lifers will demand the death penalty for the killing of an “unborn child”, right? They’ll also ban guns as a surgical instrument used in abortions, right?

Cast, maybe some crutches.

That would have taken A Hundred Million Miracles. No, I’m linking to anything for context.

Fat people: INTERVIEW YOUR DOCTORS AND ASK ABOUT BIAS before you allow them to treat you. This advice saved my life and I pass it along anytime I get a chance. My first pregnancy ended in lengthy hospitalizations for me and my 33 wk premie due to my dr chalking all my symptoms up to my fatty-fatness. Going forward, I…

Especially “fuck you” to those who did it in swing states. Fuck my friends white, cis, gay male friends who are still trying to say she was as bad. (I am losing those friends as my temper flares)

This week the Supreme Court decided that it’s unconstitutional to force fake doctors to tell women the truth, but totally constitutional to force real doctors to lie to them. That’s the court we have right now. And it’s about to become so much worse.

Sorry if this is an intrusive question, but are you finding EMDR to be helpful? My therapist has suggested it, but I’ve always thought of it more for addressing/processing a singular major trauma. I think of the years and years of drip-drop abuse and think, where would I even begin? It sounds like your circumstance…

100%. I’m like, this perfectly describes why I remained married to an abusive narcissist for 19 years. I’ve been free for three years, and they’ve been the best years of my adult life because I’m now discovering I am a good and worthy person. It will be a long and tough road back to “normal,” but every day away…

I read the essay this morning. I relate so much I’m physically ill.

Whoa, this is an excellent quote. One I’m sure many women on here can relate to.

Managed to defy my low battery:

and wait

I’m linking this clip with the caveat that Kamiyah has been traumatized, she clearly and justifiably has a lot of anger, and this is a reality show. So, it’s not all 100% truth.

No. Not for everyone involved. That bitch that kidnapped her should be forced into a “no contact” institution. She is victimizing that woman still. The girl has Stockholm syndrome in the worst way and I can empathize with her pain, but the State has custody of the other woman. They are complicit in causing pain to an…

“...and yes even the faux mother who by all accounts raised Kamiyah very well but now has to pay for her crime.”

Hard situation for all involved. The daughter who had her life torn apart and now has to watch the woman she knew as her mother be jailed for 18 years, the biological mother who suffered the loss of her child while still recuperating from giving birth, and yes even the faux mother who by all accounts raised Kamiyah…

I think we as Americans definitely romanticize the European racial sentiment. As a whole Europe, in general, is not a truly diverse place. And the diversity that does exist still in exists in these microcosms where basically people can stay in their largely homogenous communities. So, yes there could possibly be a…
