Wow. Av club author writes a petty hypocritical article about nothing. Funny how Buzzfeed has become a better news, even pop news, source. I’ve been clicking less and less on AV club. It used to be my mindless bullshit site but you’ve just gotten too mindless. You might want to catch onto the new wave that making fun…

Ppretty sure you should have stressed that first sentence differently in your head...as in “ the thing about your wedding is that it’s YOUR wedding”. As in hers, not yours. What's important is what makes her happy. Bride shaming is passe.

Boo. We are both talking about an n of 1. You were talking about spears, I was talking about my brother. I’m not arguing that mental health care in this country on a whole is horrible, just that my brother has ivy league trained doctors, two or three social workers/ group meeting leaders and access to every…

Um what? Yea, she has access to the best mental healthcare in the world but there are a lot of disorders that are treatable but not curable. And treatable but refractory to meds. And treatable but progressive with degeneration over time. My brother has had jobs and finished an associate’s degree while living…

No, your experience sounds pretty bad too. I think your story is another illustration of how a mental illness can fly under the radar or be explained away by people with incomplete info, as well as an example of how someone on meds can seem like they have capacity but be a few days away from doing something really…

Her dad has had co financial conservators basically the whole time who can put a check on him.  If he had demonstrably fraudulent behavior Brittneys lawyers could show that.  I dont think his position as fiscal conservator gives him choice of her doctors etc. That would be the personal conservatorship.  He signs the…

Thank you. My brother is under conservatorship for serious mental illness and has been for almost 20 yrs. If you wanted to talk to him on his most lucid days it would seem odd that a 37 yr old had to get permission from his mom to take money out of the bank or get permission from his doctors to go on vacation. Maybe…

watching my brother suffer with schizophrenia/schizoaffective for the last 20 years I firmly believe that he often doesn’t know what’s best for himself. Needing my mom to sign off on finances and being compelled to take his meds is why he is alive (litteraly) and not 40k in debt to credit card companies. The only…

Do we know what diagnosis justified the conservatorship in the first place? If it was just addiction why would she have been put on lithium? Has it ever been stated what actually precipitated the conservatorship or are we all just armchair diagnosing?

Severe mental illness.

Also you can actually get in trouble with HR for comment on a coworker's attire/hair/make up these days.  If her shirt is not hurting anyone why risk it?

So you think we shouldn't be allowed to compel mentally ill people to take there meds? Thanks, you just killed my brother.

AND complement his LGBTQ character choices? Where is the outrage about killing tara? I’m also so confused by the lack of screaming about queerbaiting (I know it’s mentioned, but where is the anger?) And it almost sounds like now we think all the queer characters being “othered” non human is a great metaphor instead of…

Av club may have overstated this but what she did wrong was not do what her bosses said. She’s not the editor. She doesn’t get to make content decisions. She’s trying to make it sound like there was some massive cover up and conspiracy to suppress a revolutionary truth. The doctor gave a middle of the road, non answer…

Is that kosher?

Not saying that gymnastics isnt dominated by white people, just that it's funny to me that the two gymnasts that I, a white person not into gymnastics, can name are both black. Biles and Dawes.

Seems like suicide.

Re: new headline

Maybe like a quiche, spinach pie or pot pie? You could mash veggies together and bake them like a meatloaf.  Add flavor via a sauce or gravy so you can have a good one for you and katsup for him.  Also what the guy said about the air fryer...some people's problems with veggies is the texture, so think about that.  And…

I remember reading a historical analysis of snow white, or maybe it was sleeping beauty, in which it wasnt a magical kiss that woke her, but rather the pains of childbirth. You see the prince didn’t kiss her while she was sleeping, he fully raped and impregnated her. This was in a textbook or article for one of those…
