Or fat.

I’m glad your mom had many good years after her diagnosis and she was so lucky to have your support. Lupus has a way of turning people into fighters and making them strong. I know I appreciate every day so much more since my diagnosis three years ago. In many ways life is so much harder, and I wish my family would…

It makes me really glad to hear a good nurse story--I hear so many bad ones from my patients. So happy your family was helped in their time of need.

Fellow lupus warrior here. I hope I have the same support one day too.

I’m very sorry for all the health problems you’re going through. Sending hugs across the interwebs

I’m a nurse and I’ve seen this many times. I’ve seen people existing in fates worse than death because the family couldn’t let go. They are just prolonging the inevitable and putting their loved one through needless suffering. It is extremely selfish and not fun to see. Often people justify it by saying it is for…

I’m an Aspie mom with an Aspie 11-yo daughter. I was diagnosed after my daughter was diagnosed when I was 37. It finally made sense how different I had always felt and how I hated making eye contact and how I was such a “weirdo” who was socially tormented and bullied as a kid. Later, when I blossomed physically in my…

I almost posted the same thing (Cheers, Patsy!) but I’m sure she’s waxed lol.

THIS. There really is no excuse for her English to be so poor at this point. Not after 20 years. And any other immigrant who had such a poor grasp of the language after that long in the US would absolutely be derided by his supporters. But she’s not brown and they want to fuck her, so it’s OK.

MOAR STARS!!! Seriously, and her eyes are pulled so tight it looks actually painful to me. She looks like she’s squinting all the time.

Ugh nouveau riche

Thank you. I guess there’s no place to go but up (I hope)

Thank you for your kindness. I wish I was in SF! Love that place! I’m in Tucson

So, I could use a little encouragement tonight. This is the week my best friend died, and is always a hard time of year for me. On top of that, I am going through a divorce after 18 years of a psychologically abusive marriage, my finances are shit, I have just been demoted to part time at my job and need to find…

Thank you for putting what I was thinking into such eloquent words. It’s my opinion that all women are taught to feel shame about their bodies from a young age. It never goes away, I don’t think, no matter how much one may fit society’s “ideal."

Very well stated. You nailed it.

Thank you

This needs to be hanmered into the public consciousness. I was raped by my abusive ex-boyfriend and my supposed “best friend” in the same year. 20 years later I still have no ability to trust.

How incredibly scary. Epiglottitis is extremely dangerous and she is truly lucky to be alive. I am so glad she is OK. As a nurse I appreciate her shoutout to the work we and the techs do. Please, Sarah, take good care of yourself. We need you!

It’s T-U-C-S-O-N, not T-U-S-C-O-N
