I love my country.

I gotta tell ya, I think the level of vitriol directed toward the Kardashians says a tremendous amount about our society. I don't particularly care for them, which I've said time and time again. I think they're kinda tacky and boring.

I'm glad North is okay.

"Goddammit brain", indeed. Poor guy... I know all too well the drastic mood changes involved with clinical depression (anxiety, too). I've had many times where I've felt extremely negative in some way or another, often suicidal, while simultaneously aware of the sensation and helpless to overpower it, despite wanting…

Well, you know how us lesbians aren't really lesbians, and we're just waiting for the right dick to come around. *eyeroll*

My home life rendered me a hand-wringing, anxiety-ridden mess most of my life. I've got some bad genetics working against me as well. I numbed myself with drugs and alcohol...only to find that getting sober made things actually worse....because, you know, feelings and such. I take medication now - but literally no one…

Take care of yourself too, The Gaysian. And thanks for always posting the hotline numbers. I wish Jez included them in every relevant post.

It really is quite tragic to see. It's hidden away at the bottom of many pages.

aren't all of us with depression putting on that facade? Mines fallen down this week, but I'll probably pull it back together soon. My fucking fake face.

My job did this a few years ago. It's a federal government office. On the menu was "chitterlings and maw" and something called "Hopping John." Yes, this was all planned by non-Blacks.

the lumps are fat, breast milk is not homogenized all you have to do is shake it up. I have tasted it, to see and it's kind of like rice pudding. I put a couple drops on my kids scratches and they heal faster. It's weird.

The phrase "American exceptionalism" makes me want to exceptionally shoot my American self

As a history teacher this makes me shake with rage. Fox commentators thinking history doesn't matter because they get bummed out having to think about slavery and the extermination of Native Americans is textbook white privilege.

OK. Yes. That is a fair point and I see why you're screaming. The girl's attorney has told the judge she has been diagnosed with schizophrenia. What we've heard in court from psychologists indicates that they believe she's experiencing severe delusions. The National Institute of Mental Health says it's "difficult" to…

I think that a parent should always be held more accountable than a child, even with adult children. Parents are always in a position of authority, I think, and should be considered as such.

Ugh. These stories always end up pissing me off because inevitably someone blames the kid.

and to clarify i have no issue with the author (that's obvious to me but i guess not to you or your hella huffy, righteous 16 stars)

The attraction is normal. Acting on it isn't, and especially if you are in a parent/child relationship. It was his responsibility to protect her from it, and he failed her. Further I would argue that he groomed her and preyed upon her.

I am usually on board with TW requests, but the title kind of gives you a major idea of where this was going.

This is some brave shit.
