Um. No. Much like therapeutic confidentiality, if someone is a threat to someone’s life or safety, that goes out the window.

This is a truly harrowing tale of rape but I’m glad that this might lead to greater awareness of sexual harassment, assault, or worse in the LGBT+ community.

A source of dysentery??

It’s one of my favorite movies, but there’s no way Miller’s Crossing is more famous than The Usual Suspects.

I knoooooow. Ashton Kutcher, someone who I struggle to like, is heavily involved with this org too...he spoke to congress and I have to say it was also pretty fucking great:

Have never been a fan of hers, but goddamn, she spoke honestly and plainly. Makes me want to get involved with this organization.

I know it sounds bad, but to be honest, I wasn’t as affected by this stuff before having my own kids. Now I walk around thinking about this stuff and feeling like I want to go out and save every child from ever being hurt. It enrages me that this happens.

I have read Jez for years and years, yet I’ve never commented. I read almost all the comments on articles that grab my attention. I’ve wanted to comment many times, but wasn’t sure how a reply would impact my inbox (spam, notification emails, etc. ). Yet this video has compelled me to reply.

Lively sounded so nervous and passionate, much like a non-celebrity would if they had to get up in front of a room of really impressive people. It makes me really like her.

Right?! Can you imagine getting up in front of a room of Hollywood people and talking about that? No one wants to talk about it, because it’s horrifying and you don’t want to even believe it happens, but we have to.

This is one of the most honest, heartbreaking, most impressive celebrity speeches I’ve ever heard.

I’d like to know exactly what situations you’re referring to.

Sure, perhaps they should have known better. Perhaps it was naive for any of these women to go into Weinstein’s hotel room expecting to be treated professionally and respectfully there. But then what? Just give up, leave their careers, and go home? Part of the problem is what Weinstein did to those women in his hotel…

Look, some women can be the most ardent supporters of an oppressive patriarchal system. Pam has survived in spite of/by virtue of her physical attributes all her life and can’t see the forest for the trees.

I have to be honest, and I’m sure I’ll receive flack for it, but I get what she’s saying. Yes, women should be able to walk into a business meeting (regardless of the unusual setting that it’s taking place in) and be safe.

“You know what they call the person who finishes last in their class in medical school? ... ‘Doctor.’” 

This is a cynical ploy to take money from sick people and also to convince them to stop proven, life-saving treatments such as an anti-retroviral AIDS regimen. It aims to profit from the gullible and desperate by lying (by pushing fake pseudoscience and magical thinking while undermining trust in the real therapy), ro…

I don’t get why people go to any seminars that aren’t mandatory work related. Nothing but grifters.

Grocery shopping is a burden with “a baby” in tow? Huh. I dunno how we did it with four kids, or when just one of us went to the store.

Regardless, I think the important thing to take from all of these stories, is that there is a recognition that it is important for families of all shapes and sizes to take time to eat…

Interesting, but this focuses on NYC. More interesting if it included more geographic regions. Suburbs (affluent and working class), rural, smaller cities, etc.
