I’ve posted many other comments on this story but damn if I don’t snicker at his last name. So perfectly fitting.

This whole thread is making my heart swell to uncomfortable proportions.

I’ve lived with pretty severe bipolar disorder I since I was 14 (diagnosed only at age 28, but the symptoms set in far, far earlier than that). I know the pain of being so depressed you can’t get out of bed for days at a time, so much that even the thought of showering is too exhausting to accomplish. I know how it…

Thanks, Glitter! I’m working on it, I’m on medication and practicing mindfulness meditation, which is doing wonderrrsss (so has quitting drinking a year ago!) but we all have our bad days :)

Uh, Patton Oswalt is always going to mourn his wife. Falling in love with someone else and getting married doesn’t negate the love one has for their deceased spouse. His new wife doesn’t delete Michelle McNamara, and if she’s a half-decent person, she knows that. Mazel to him and Meredith and Alice, who seem very…

So, is the sum of this that they would have protected him and his abusive ways if he hadn’t filed suit? As much shit as Amber Heard took when she left him and said he abused her, she could have used as many people in her corner as possible. It’s disappointing that money trumped her safety.

I’ve cut contact with my mother (just this year actually) and it’s still raw. It’s a horrible thing to go through. Much love to you.

There was a guy at work I didn’t coddle. He made my life a nightmare. Hell hath no fury like a male’s fragility scorned.

This shit. Do you know I have had to walk students to their car/the bus/the train because some guy that doesn’t understand words is following them from class to class? WTF is that? At what point does society say “hey if you as a college age female have to request a professor walk you to your mode of transportation…

I was in HomeGoods the other day, shopping for cheap kitchen supplies. A man who appeared to be at least 20 years older than me approached me and made small talk (annoying, but I live in the MidWest so par for the course), then proceeded to follow me around the store as I awkwardly tried to ignore him without seeming…

It could be due to my upbringing and age. I’m Black, in my 30's and was raise in rural Alabama around card carrying Klansmen(not sure if they actually carry cards but that’s besides the point). So I have been directly on the receiving end many, many times. The word is infuriating, hurtful, aggravating, and makes you…

BBC News has a pretty interesting write-up on this, for anyone interested.

Especially since, say unlike the people on the right, she actually apologized for it.

THANK YOU.

100% agree. Was it an amazing piece of comedy? Probably not. Is it worthy of all this pearl-clutching and outrage, including from people on the left? HELL FUCKING NO. Also, internet, please stop comparing this to tea party racists burning Obama in effigy and fake lynching him, this is not even remotely comparable.…

I never thought much of her - I don’t find her particularly funny - but I absolutely do not understand why the left is throwing her under the bus. Not one bit. This is a free-speech issue that I thought we had resolved back in the 80s.

Man, this community’s willingness to shit all over Kathy Griffin (who has had an astounding career when you actually look it up) is gross. Our enjoyment of comedy is of course subjective and no one has to like anyone, but yikes.

It is heart breakungly sad. I had a very sick child, no prospect of getting better. Just. Life with more and more interventions. We let her go. There were many alternative treatments we could have tried. I didn’t want that for her. She deserved more than suffering through every moment of her life to be part of…

As I have written before, my daughter died when she was five in 2011, two months after being diagnosed with an inoperable and malignant brain tumor. There is no cure for her type of tumor - DIPG - and current treatments do little more than extend life for a few months.
