I am an ex-junkie. I have been very lucky to stay off of it for most of my adult life, thanks to day-to-day persistence and work as well as love and support from people I know, whether they know the effect of it or not.

I have enough to live for now that I MUST love myself and others enough to stay clean.

Many people…

For those of us who are on Facebook and Twitter today who have also lost loved ones to heroin overdose regardless of however many people have died that way before them, seeing shit like this is not only totally retraumatizing, but trivializing, insulting, and deeply hurtful.

My brother wasn't stupid. His death wasn't…

Yet again Jezebel is partaking in these antics. Calling a boy a girl because he may seem or act effeminate is not okay. I see this shit all over the Internet from 12 year old boys who think that insulting Justin Bieber* and calling him a woman, or gay, or a fairy, etc. makes them somehow more macho. I really didn't…

Excuse me, I just wanted to say that I am in love with your username. So clever.

I'm just here for the cat pictures.

Sooo, Jezebel just linked to an article about Taylor Swift doing something illegal, spent two paragraphs writing about how she did something illegal, and then mentioned, almost as an afterthought, that the whole story is bullshit? Wow, what outstanding journalism!

'Ahh, I see in the comments that he was in fact wearing a helmet. Don't see how my statement merited being called a dick, though.

I feel like this should be two separate stories - the beginning is more about being rude and the rest is about being a fat person on a plane. I could have done without the rudeness bits, because if you read that part AS WRITTEN, it doesn't seem like it has so much to do with someone being fat so much as being late…

I don't want to join the fray, here, but just for informational purposes: When one is fat that is exactly how people treat you. That standing near them, or sitting at the next able in a crowded café, or using one inch more bench seat than they want you to, is a huge personal affront and you should go back to your own…

I am a mere size 12 - my butt JUST fits. I am 5'3 - my knees almost touch the seat in front of me. 5-fucking-3.

Right, I'm going to come off like an ass here, but here it goes:

1.) Is anyone even surprised anymore? This privileged, ridiculously wealthy young man has never been taught limits—and in situations where limits should have been applied, he's been told (and shown, through the US justice system) that his wealth is…

They've got to save something for the next album.

How can any parent's ego be that tied up...

ohhhh....you thought the fast and furious movies were documentaries?

She may have mental health issues that will now continue to be ignored. Even the Durham area police allude to this by saying she may believe she was raped. She very well could have been. But it's curious that no one is questioning how a traumatic event could be affecting this woman's choices. There is a lack of…

It was a joke Farrakhan!

Man, I wish I could more clearly communicate sarcasm, that would be awesome.
