Jonathan is just my favorite. I loved the episode where they were sharing coming out stories and he just said, “The sky is blue. The grass is green. I’m gay.” I love people that are so comfortable with who they are that they make those around them feel the same way about themselves :)

MLM’s are cult-like, so no wonder the messaging is so similar. I don’t think I could get sucked too far into either one - not because I’m too smart for it, but because I’m much, much too lazy.
She fucked her way to status/wealth/some form of stardom.
Totally agree. My parents are both Trump supporters and I have had 15+ rounds at the OK Corral with my dad over this until he finally was able to admit that he is at least concerned about the damage that this administration is doing to several governmental institutions. It took A LOT of debate and argument just to…
Just this very morning I was listening to 1A and one of Joshua Johnson’s guests compared Trump’s archaic understanding of our economy (over his threat to levy higher tariffs on Chinese auto imports) to that of Dr. Evil coming out of the deep freeze and suggesting that they hold the world ransom *1 million dollars*.…
Agreed. It’s a delicate line to walk, discussing individuals’ experiences and using those to attempt to understand broader native experience. I just recall several conversations I’d had (mostly listening on my part - I was there on field study, so the purpose to be achieved was to learn) and a discussion on the issue…
Hmmm, hadn’t heard about that one...
Well gee, I don’t know - did you read all of what I wrote? My entire purpose for visiting the five reservations that I was on was to learn from/about the tribes that live there. I’m not projecting any of this onto anyone - this is literally what I was told by the artists on three of the reservations that I visited.…
This is true, but it is is of particular affront to the native peoples in that area. One of the only worthwhile things I did in college was participate in a field study where we spent a few weeks living with and learning about the cultures of the Hopi, Zuni, Navajo, Acoma Pueblo and Havasupai. They’re short on…
And South Bend! Traditionally a democratic stronghold, and currently home of the Pete Buttigieg, the most kick-ass mayor in the state. Cant wait to see what moves he makes next.
Yeah, as the former favorite child of a very complicated mother (she’s still kickin’, I was just tossed over a few years ago for my younger sister as favorite kid), I have to say that while it might suck to be so aware that you are not the favorite child, you are also very aware of what a burden it is to be the…
Prozac and booze do not mix well... so that explains quite a lot.
Chevy has all the chin that these incompetent fucks lack, so its a stretch for me.
Man, I was a kid at the time (like 8-ish) and I LOVED the Cosby show, but that exchange about the wedding night creeped me out so badly. Like, WTF? An incredibly inappropriate line of questioning and also, what kind of father would react that way? That scene stuck with me b/c it seemed so intrusive and slimy and…
I don’t know why, but it just doesn’t sit right with me that this study makes a comparison between Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (something wholly preventable) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (wholly unpreventable, at least to our collective knowledge at this point in history, anyway), even if it is just in numbers.
You may be right about that, but I hold out hope for it. I do think that it will take the work of really good investigative reporting and people willing to come forward with names, in spite of consequence in order for anything to happen. As long as no one is held to account, nothing will change.
I did shut it down. Through her manager :)
Yeah I saw both of these in the same moment, this article right above the IndyStar article about that guy. My reaction to both: “Oh”... aaaaand scroll.
One in which a woman’s empathy is reserved solely for her own children, and she is expected to do constant battle with the rest of the world.
