Listen, Sarah, we get you’re bitter about the whole thing but Kim just lost her mom, of course she’s acting unhinged. Leave it alone, it’s getting sad.

“Not everything needs to be public.”—EXACTLY! I can’t believe I’m about to quote Ashton Kutcher, but he had a profound insight (soundbite?) several years ago, and it’s stuck with me ever since:

Maybe she has serious issues. SJP still reached out in a public forum because either

“maybe SJP doesn’t have Kim’s fucking address or contact info”

No, because people would have assumed she sent something privately, and even if they didn’t who cares because Cattrall has made it clear she doesn’t want anything from Parker. Not everything needs to be public.

Also, acting like Parker’s reputation is more important than Cattrall’s right to be left alone by someone she cannot stand says a lot.

*hooking your megaphone to an amplifier in approval* :D

*gets megaphone and shouts* SHE SHOULD HAVE JUST SENT A FUCKING CARD AND LEFT WELL ALONE

UGH this brings back memories of when my dad died 3 years ago. I had an old best friend from high school who became an extremely toxic part of my life, and this resulted in me basically ghosting her (which is shitty but I didn’t know how else to extract myself - this is after I had told her my feelings several times,…

Absolutely. My brother died suddenly 3 years ago, and if someone who hadn’t spoken to me in years (but knew how to contact me personally) took to social media to offer condolences, I would have been PISSSSSSSED. If SJP sincerely wanted to offer condolences, she should have done so privately. Her behavior comes of as…

Or, they’re in a clique? Several people taking a side against someone doesn’t necessarily mean they’re right especially when it’s to make that person do something they want.

I understand that the advent of social media has changed our social mores, but there is still etiquette to follow after the death of someone you know or know through others. It is absolutely not the time to make public conciliatory gestures like Parker’s because you are making it about YOU. If you want to extend an…

Of all the terrible / sad / tragic / depraved stories about the Kennedy’s, Rosemary’s was the worst. Just look at this young woman, being presented at court, just a couple of years before her dad ruined her.

This would be more interesting if it didn’t potentially reek of pro-Scientology-ness. (See the Frances Farmer biopic Frances.) Whereas Kennedy was lobotomized and Farmer actually was not, Rosemary Kennedy is still a topic Scientologists could eagerly run (amok) with.

I used to work in connection with my state’s child services department and I came across too. fucking. many. poor women in terrible situations who said that when they were pregnant or had a new baby was the only time in their lives they felt special and that people made a fuss of them and took care of them or did…

Yeah, I was a case worker in adult education and experienced many similar scenarios. We had multiple generations of students from the same family with the same rap sheet: drugs, booze, multiple children (more than 3) before 22, cognitive impairments from substance abuse, etc. And a good chunk of them were lower/…

I feel the same complicated emotions. This isn’t a solution, but being pro-sex and pro-choice and pro-birth control doesn’t address the culture that doesn’t promote a conscious approach to parenthood. And most liberal, educated perspectives on this are way too rosy re: the fate of children in these situations. Love is…

I’m an addiction counselor in a rural area, and most of my clients are poor, low-functioning, and have low educational levels. Many of them have no transportation or internet access. They often have unstable housing.

Seriously. What exactly was offensive about the doctor offering evidence based advice?

while I agree with your sentiment, getting your daughter vaccinated for hpv does not imply she or you are sluts or deviants. It may very well save her life one day. And it’s likely better for her to get it young; once she’s had a certain number of sexual partners in adulthood (a by no means large number, either) she…
