Oh haha! Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me last week cited a study from the university of Helsinki that suggested that many folks believe Trump’s success is due to how good-looking he is. Paula Poundstone was a member of the panel and she was UPSET. It was a funny episode. I recommend it.

Don’t tell Paula Poundstone.

Love and hugs. Losing a fur family member is so hard. Be kind to yourself.

The husband’s uncle died by suicide a week and a half ago. There are a lot of things I could say, but I just want to encourage anyone feeling depressed, whether situationally or chemically, please get support. Your depression will tell you that you’re worth more dead than alive, that your family/children/whomever will…

THATS AMAZING

Hugs, Mama. That sounds horrible. I hope they figure it out soon. You’re doing a hard thing, and I’m rooting for you.

What you have to offer is so much more valuable than a flat belly, perky breasts, toned arms, and whatever else is deemed “good enough” in terms of appearance.

Your little girl is lucky to have a mom who is mindful of it. That in itself will make a huge difference.

My youngest is two and a half— and I get asked if I’m pregnant. Nope. This is what my body looks like after having four kids. I eat well and exercise, but not so I can be a certain size someday— I do it because I work in an ER and have seen young people who thought they were healthy suddenly die of a heart attack,…

The threat of deportation negatively impacts people before deportation happens. People become depressed, anxious, and even suicidal with the idea that they or someone they love could be deported. If you’re looking for something tangible to do, please call your local schools/board of ed to ask what services they’re…

I got the whole, “it makes him uncomfortable to NOT do it, so why does your discomfort matter more than his?” Fuck that family.

I am so, so glad they’ve been able to access counseling. In this shitstorm of a story, I am grateful to whatever kind of advocacy they were able to receive that got them to where they can get help this quickly.

I still have nightmares about my assault— my brother-in-law would rub his genitals against me every time I went to my MIL’s house. I said something, several times, and I was told I was in the wrong over and over. The awfulness was in saying something made me feel like shit, and being told that what happened to me, my…

You are not his ego’s keeper. If he wants to fee better about himself, he needs to better himself. It isn’t on you.

Was it Pink? Because we’ve got it. I don’t see much of it, because the folks I see survived their last hit.

Haven’t seen a case yet— we see a lot of homeless folks, though, and I think the wealthier opiate addicts bypass hospital detox for one of the more expensive treatment centers. I would imagine fentanyl would fall under a wealthier demographic.

Anecdotal, but most of the patients I assess for opiate detox report they were prescribed opiates first, then became dependent and ended up moving to heroin because it is much cheaper. It is rare to get the folks who just decided one day that heroin would be fun.

A criticism of pinup girl is the appropriation of various cultures in their designs. If you haven’t, that may be something to explore— admittedly, I haven’t shopped there and don’t know much about it.

First of all, I want to applaud you for putting words on what sometimes feel like conflicting emotions. Frequently when someone dies, we attach shame to feeling anything but devestated. Relief makes sense when you witness people you care about suffering as long as the life is prolonged. Sometimes grief hits us like a…

Abdolutely— later today I can write something out. Just wanted you to know I saw this and will get back to you soon.
