Diagrams, please. I live in Canada and this is relevant.

I’ll let this speak for me

Mine was a quasi-hookup, but bear with me. These dudes who lived together in a house while attending college were close-knit so they had a “post-Christmas” in February, in one of the dudes’ ranch in the countryside. I was invited by my BFF, one of the dudes’ girlfriends, and I was newly single, so I went. There was

So it is okay for so-called “christians” to force their religious law onto a nation, but not okay for muslims to do it.

Stuff like this legitimately terrifies me.

19.9% voter turnout for Millenials. Get out and vote.

It’s like handing the keys of a Lamborghini to a 16 year old after only teaching them how an engine works, rather than teaching them how to actually drive. What the fuck are these people seriously expecting to happen, and how the hell do they keep managing to rationalize it to themselves in the face of such

Holy shit this whole thing is mind-boggling. I don’t even have a clue how I feel... I want to side with both of them and against both of them at the same time. What a horrendous situation for everybody involved. Also though, this is not even close to “almost exactly the same” as a virgin accidentally getting

But as I’ve said, it isn’t helpful, morally, to think of embryos as property.

This is the saddest part of the entire GOP campaign of hate and lies. Once reasonable people are being radicalized (yes, I chose that word on purpose) by the propaganda from the far right, Fox and the rest of the conservative hate machine.

I’m really glad to pass it on-it really helped me realise that the disorder is something external to me as a person that acts upon me, and not an inherent character flaw, and should be treated as such, like an injury. I was about twelve sessions into CBT at that point and feeling really low because it wasn’t working,

Seriously. People get so irrationally upset when they’re called out on their bullshit. Because “racist” and “bigot” are just insults that big meanies use. No one could possibly be calling you a bigot because you are a bigot, right? How dare they call you names! Stand up for yourselves! Thank god Donald Trump is here

This is what the GOP has been cooking up for the last 8 years. Their embrace of intolerance, hate, anger, obstruction, lies and racism has culminated in the tangerine nightmare known as Trump. They created voters like this person with the endless slurs and lies that Fox calls “news.”

I think when everyone seems smarter than you, the world becomes a very scary place. Fear, insecurity, and stupidity are a dangerous mix.

Goddammit I HATE it when EXPERTS and PEOPLE WHO KNOW STUFF AND THINGS try to tell me that having a racist, bigoted, misogynistic melted creamsicle running the country like it’s a E! reality show is PROBABLY NOT A GOOD IDEA!!1! I want someone as dumb and narrow minded as I am armed with nuclear codes to run this

Yeah. I want my president to be better than I am. Because I’m a super-flawed person who should never be put in control of anything too important because absent a supervisor I will just spend my time fucking around rather than getting work done.

Some of us are happy when one of us can triumph, climb the heights, show us what’s possible. Others want everyone brought down to their level so they don’t feel as bad about themselves.

People who claim to know everything about healthy diet make me laugh, because I collected cookbooks. I had one from 1923 that stated “Children need pure white sugar every day to keep the flames of energy alive within them” and this one from about 1990:

Hey. Stop apologizing to your parents for being sick. You wouldn’t apologize if you had meningitis, right? You. Were. Sick. It. Wasn’t. Your. Fault. Taking care of our kids when they’re sick is in the “good parent” job description. Thank them & appreciate them, but don’t apologize for getting sick. Ok?

Based on my own experience, she’s not wrong at all. I tried a bunch of acne “cures” from forums when I was younger and wasn’t treating my anxiety and I got really, really into restrictive eating under the guise of “medicinal” eating—and bottomed out at about 77 lbs., a two week-long stay at a hospital, and a year of
