How on earth did that even happen??ugh.

The only thing I can say is get your PTSD treated as soon as possible and the loss of a family member can definitely cause PTSD. If you don’t like your therapist, where the sessions are going (like if they’re deviating from the actual trauma) and/or you’re not seeing any progress after several months then find a new…

His dad is no slouch in that dept. Either way, Rocco will be just fine. He’s a normal teenager with a pretty embarrassing mother. I think it’s a bit too early to decide what his value is as a person of talent or not. Probably best to just let him be 16, no?

They do if they’re homeless or caught out in the elements too long.

I appreciate that a lot too. I ws raped multiple times by an abusive boyfriend. I was also raped shortly afterward by someone I considered my best friend. I became pregnant and decided to keep the baby, but miscarried. The whole experience was hellish. But I feel I am so strong now, 20 years later. I survived 17 years…

I was raped by a “significant other” 14 years ago. I haven’t been in a long term relationship (longer than a month) since, even with 9 years of therapy. You’re so right, it’s particularly disturbing.

I really appreciate her bringing up the fact it was a significant other who was responsible for one of her rapes. I can’t speak to other kinds of rape, but I will say that rape by someone you’re involved with, someone you’ve had consensual sex with, possibly many times, is a particular kind of mind fuck. The urge to…

She is so right about how you are never really “OK” after assault. I applaude her bravery on speaking out; I have told almost no one about my rape. It is comforting to hear her story; I hope more of us can speak out.

The rich are not like you and I.

Man talks shit about woman, tells her how it really is. It is okay because he is a feminist.

I live in Canada, so I have zero stuffings to give.

That sounds about right.

This is ridiculous. It’s is like cutting off your nose to spite your face and then crying about the void in the middle of your head. It’s like getting liposuction and longing for your fat cells.

We do love our children unless we have to pay fair wages to have competent people take care of them.

Well of course they’re in it for the paycheck - that’s why people have jobs.

Breaking, people with shitty job motivated primarily by the money they make at said shitty job.

Very skeptical that as many as 25% of bus company employees are “in it” for the simple joy of transporting children to school.

I didn’t wear makeup for years because of internalised misogyny, because I was a Serious Intellectual Girl who understand that beauty is only skin-deep and there are so many more important things than lipstick and this was in no way an attempt to appease the patriarchy or my reaction to being a plain girl who was…

Ok, yeah perfect so anytime we need to pay for something we can “just raise taxes by .xx” to pay for it. That is exactly how it works! We just call the IRS and say “yo, we need cash, tick up the tax rate” and they go “okey doke!” and press a button, raising all of our taxes. Oh, my god! This is so easy! Why didn’t we…

I don’t really give a shit what the president spends, even this asshole, but I do think the hypocrisy of the right should be called out.
