Same! I usually try not to comment, given that it’s not a very good way to convince people of anything, but I just happened to notice that and honestly if an overgrown, outdated celebrity gossip blog isn’t the place for that kind of observation, I don’t know where is.

YUP. Recovery is not going to work if you can’t accept that you alone are responsible for your actions.

Yeah, I try to remind myself that people like this are dealing with significant mental illness/addiction... but holy shit this woman is a mess. The whole almost-apology reads more like “hey, please feel sorry for me and/or be proud of me”.

All god-awful behavior aside - she should at least own up to what a huge fuck-up

Yeah. My problem is right there in how her apology was worded. 

If people are going to fall on the sword of “I have a problem, that’s why I did what I did”, then they’re more responsible than anyone to take care of the problem.  Saying “I’ve got a problem” doesn’t absolve people of responsibility and consequences of their actions.  

I have sympathy for anyone struggling, that being said, it seems she lacks taking responsibility for her actions like many alcoholics. She admittedly took medication and alcohol to the point where she blacked out but seems to feel she is the victim of the mom who took to Twitter and her now former friend. She even thro

Getting obliteratedly drunk and high. Making fun of teens. Blaming someone else for her behavior…. Welp we just need making fun of person with a disability and sexually assaulting someone and the GOP will soon be flipping her and vetting her for the Vice Presidency.

No matter how often it’s used as a supposedly appropriate excuse, I will never understand the protestations of, “That’s not me! That’s not who I am! I would never do that!” It seems that it’s always exactly who the person is and exactly what they would do.  Because they did.

So because they’re not perfect victims they don’t deserve your support?

You can support victims of abuse and still hold them responsible for victimizing others.

Jesus, why the fuck would people bring so many weapons on a camping trip? Especially a camping trip where you plan to use hallucinogens?

I agree with most of this take, but I do think the Communist Manifesto photo op was trolling. 

So you wouldn’t choose this for yourself.  Got it.

I found some in Dominican Republic, $119 a night for two people all in. That’s $22k a year each without even asking for a bulk discount. Just renting at say $2500 a month in the US is $30k a year before you’ve even got out of the bed you also had to pay for!

Yellowjackets season 2 is gonna be lit

Generally when a person keeps running into the same problem with multiple different people it’s instructive to look at what the common denominator is.

I would like to do a study about how many women have negative health impacts by being misdiagnosed with obesity or anxiety as their primary problems.

Also wanna add that ovarian cysts can be difficult to diagnose because it doesn’t affect cisgender men’s bodies. My friend had pelvic pain last September, went to urgent care, and was sent home, being told that was probably kidney stones. It took another 2 months for it to be properly diagnosed, and then another 2

She was severely overmedicated and cut off from managing her own social media for many years thanks to Jamie. She’s basically getting to be the teenager she was never allowed to be, and an adjusted medication regimen takes some time to settle. 

Exactly. The issue was never that she wasn’t getting big paychecks, it was that she had a zillion people taking bits of it before it arrived in her pocket.
