The way she had to dig the razor deeper into her first arm the second time because she didn’t make it deep enough and then had to keep going and move to her next arm before she lost consciousness? And then her family finding her lifeless body? Peaceful...

I watched it and honestly, thought it was so ugly and painful that I literally had to hold my hand over my eyes to cover the screen until the scene ended. It was not pretty, it was not glamorous and I honestly think that no matter how it was shown, some people would always find some fault in its portrayal.

Not when you see her parents trying to drag her dead body out of the water it isn’t.

Oh, so YOU’RE the only other person who’s watched that movie. (TENNANT AND KELLY FOREVER!!)

While I do think that’s​ a part of the story that should be discussed (because abuse fucks a person up), it’s not an excuse, and the two thinga aren’t mutually exclusive. That is to say, it doesn’t negate any of he conclusions made in the Stranger article (or elsewhere). Her shit is fucked up and not ok.

As someone who went through the whole immigration system to come here for higher education, and then became a permanent resident and then got a job let me tell you how hard it already is for foreign skilled workers to succeed here: when I was a grad student i was not eligible for any student loans because I was an…

That’s assuming that there will be people alive to record that history and then publish an account of it. 🤗

Is starting WWIII against Twitter’s TOS? Like, that has to be a bannable offense, right?

I have “The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook”. I started working on it after I did a 5 day women’s program that focused on DBT. I know I have recommendations for books somewhere-will let you know when I find it! Radical Acceptance helps me when all else fails.

Depression & the rebound anxiety sucks, badly. I struggle as well. I encourage you to look into DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) which has helped me immensely. There are books & workbooks about it that you can order from Amazon.

Hi. I’m sorry you’re having a rough go of it. I share your depression and anxiety. Do you have a therapist or counselor? Someone to talk to? I’m sorry to hear about your father. Is there any way to put off your travel until you’re feeling better?

I’d love for Littlefinger to come into a room and scare Sansa...but then surprise, it’s actually Arya wearing his face! She winks and goes “Girl it’s me.” Then they have a sleepover and all is well in the world because Littlefinger is already dead.

I actually got the HPV shots when I was younger through the pushing of myself and my dad to convince my mom. He argued that it was both to protect me and anyone else I was with as i got older. However when I told other people at school they thought it was strange especially as a guy.

That’s not her.

...conservative candidates such as Clinton...

What do you mean “called their bluff”? Dem voters, especially minorities and women, clearly chose Clinton over Sanders. By a large margin. The choice was simple. Vote D and avoid exactly what we have now. White Millenials couldn’t deal with that fact and now deserve the haranguing from articles like this.

All I know is that white women were haranguing black women and insisting that gender is far more important than race. When they were finally offered up a white woman behind whom all the girls could behind, 1 in every 2 Beckies, Connies, Rachels, whatever, decided patriarchal racism was their lane. Whiteness, my…

I took a jaded, train-hopping punk to Disney. He bitched the whole way until I took him to dinner at the Be Our Guest restaurant where a squealed like a kid and said “I feel like a little girl that just found out she’s a princess!” The place changes people.  

Oh, come now. Why can’t it be both?

I like to think it’s because he’s such a profoundly unhappy person, he hasn’t ever had reason, in his life, to smile geniunely.
