It’s never lupus.

I don’t know...without the internet, how will I self-diagnose lupus every time I have a headache?!?!

So, I was born and raised in Europe - I lived in Italy for 23 years, and I can promise you that the average Italian is racist as fuck, and the more money they have, the more they view Africans as being sub-human - like dirty monkeys in clothes. There are a number of street vendors from Morocco that come to Italy and…

Omg. Fucking essential oils. I had someone in my local mom’s Facebook group ask the group if we could recommend any “home remedies” for a cough that her 4yo daughter had had for 8 WEEKS. 8 WEEKS!!! GIVE HER FUCKING COUGH MEDICINE YOU GODDAMN IDIOT! Take her to the doctor, it’s probably pneumonia or bronchitis! Rubbing…

burn it all down!!

I live in a similar area of San Diego County, can confirm. 

If I remember correctly, in Sleeper, woody allen wakes up after being in suspended animation for 200 years and is told that all of his friends are dead, which he can’t believe because “they all ate health food!”

I’m guessing their moms are usually ‘homebirth moms’ as well?

The family is originally Abruzzese, but I was raised in a province of Pisa. Am in Philly now. You?

Am Italian (from Italy) and can confirm your grandma’s smartness. 

Lady, you just divorced your abusive husband???? You’re a fucking amazon!!! Emotional abuse is the fucking hardest to detangle yourself from so the fact that you’re free from its daily attacks it’s a amazing.

Hey! I’m 32 in LA. Been here 10 years. I struggle with depression and money, too (SO FUN). LA is brutal and yet, I don’t want to be anywhere else. Congrats on getting out of your abusive relationship - that’s huge. Hope you enjoyed your pizza. Let’s get a drink or coffee when you’re up for it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Depression after having gone through narcissistic abuse is very common. It will get better. Been there. You made it out, you have a dog, and the universe sent you free pizza on your birthday. You will make new friends: the Authentic You instead of the emotionally-beaten down version of yourself your…

HAPPY 31st BDAY. It’s hard now but wow you got out, disentangling yourself from an abusive situation is some moving mountains shit and I hope you feel proud of it. I also hope the Dominos and the dog make you feel better, you deserve it.

Happy Birthday. I hope the coming year is better than the past one. 🎂

Happy Birthday! I’m so sorry you’re struggling with depression, especially on your birthday. At least the emotionally abusive husband is gone. Thank god!

Wow, you are a damn BADASS! Seriously, surviving all of that, let alone all of that in rapid succession, is really, really difficult. It makes sense to be mired in the sadness and frustration of it right now, but one day you will look back and be proud of how strong you were to survive it!

The sexy good cliche where you feel good about love and romance and you are enough so you make eye contact with strangers. Not just pregnant women, women with children, and old men with mobility aids (obvi you are kind to the women. They’re basically gramma) , and other women with that look of “thank god it’s a woman…

There are so many great romcoms on Netflix right now.
