Raise your hand if you fancy a goth alternative to Jane Austen’s Bath!
The governor has already floated it at the Capitol that he plans to veto the bill, and may also, in a surprise move, veto campus carry as well because he doesn’t like the bill at all. He also recently ordered an executive mandate lifting a federal ban on drug felons receiving SNAP and TANF, so that former inmates can…
“No. Your friends are not the people to help you out of a disease. Professionals are.”
Some people are incredibly good at the backhanded compliment that makes you closer to them because they ‘keep it real,’ or because you don’t understand or want to believe they are being cruel to you.
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh! <— the sound of my mind ssnapping in two.
This. Sometimes an asshole friend is just an asshole.
It’s neurotypical privilege to think that some actions count as related to mental illness while others don’t.
But there is definitely a type of person who’s constantly “Ooooohhhh, I’m just gonna take some time to really learn to love myself” and “oooohhh, I need to make sure I’m surrounding myself with positive energy at all times” and so on...
Mental illness is an illness. And you have peaks and valleys. And there are times when your behavior isn't the person you'd like to be. But as a person who has a mood disorder, I both resent and reject your position. Having a mental illness does not preclude being rejected for friendship any more than alcoholism does.…
Mental illness is no excuse for being an asshole.
I think you’re what you’re saying is doing a disservice to those with mental illness, as it implies that no matter what kind of “normalization” (for lack of a better word) they’ve achieved with their treatment, they’re never *truly* responsible for their actions, which just robs them of their agency.
I remember my daughter shitting in the last nappy I had as soon as I put it on her and I had to borrow money off my mum to buy a new packet, as well as get her to buy them for me because I couldn’t leave the house.
I didn’t think I cold love Obama anymore than I did. God, I was wrong. And for whatever troll comes in here talking about cloth diapers, cleaning those gets expensive too. Money for the Laundromat, getting to the Laundromat, etc. ..
When I was pregnant with my third daughter I can’t even count the number of people who thought it was okay to say things like, “Ohhh you must be so disappointed.” And my personal favorite (by the nurse in the hospital who delivered her), “Don’t worry, you’re still young enough to have more.” Our go to response was,…
The man posed as a teenage boy to coerce and bully her into sending nude images, and he then began sexually abusing her after faking the suicide of her internet boyfriend.
Yes, and the inherent downside of every extremist viewpoint is that it tends to draw . . . extremists. Yeah, I know it’s probably the flaccid daydream of a lot of aging peckerwoods to crack some young black dude in the mouth, on what they consider “general principle.” But this is the problem: Trump’s “rallies” make…
Fat women’s bodies in plain sight are an affront to heterosexual men. Like, “How dare you not devote your life to making yourself sexually attractive to me? If you don’t make my dick hard, how dare you not be ashamed? You should at least have the decency to live like a hermit, and cover yourself up when you must be…
