My dog is the gray derp, and the cat is a friend’s. The puppy is our newest shelter addition.

I’m still a single, young-ish adult, and I don’t really plan to make my permanent home where I’m currently living. So, I don’t really have much interest in who my neighbors are (and the area I live in does not encourage neighborly greetings, so that works out well for me).

If we’re talking “the most insecure” people who don’t speak to members of the sex in which they are interested, that’s a different animal, isn’t it? Can you give me some actual data, outside of your own experiences, on why you think these things? So far, it seems to have been just your opinion, which I can counter…

Fun fact about “Everyone is Hot”: the guy at 1.14 in Charli XCX’s video is Tommy Cash, an Estonian rapper who is a “deliberately ugly guy”. His videos are commentary on beauty standards, but his rap is pretty “normal” sounding to me and doesn’t do much without the videos. For example, “Pussy Money Weed”, which used…

“An emotionally broken man better fix himself, while an emotionally broken woman can reasonably expect a man to come along and nurture her, coddle her, and to perform emotional labor to build her back up.”

I admit this was a one-off experience, but I was in a food court in a mall once about fifteen years ago, and I was looking away from a breastfeeding mother. Admittedly, because I have some personal issues of my own, I probably wasn’t being all that subtle about it, though I honestly meant no offense. I was also a…

Will was great fun.  He was just delighted the whole time, and his face was so great when he heard the “cyst poot”.

I was in conversion therapy, too, but mine was quite mild.  Basically, just pressure to “reconsider” and “think of my family” sort of things.  I was pretty lucky in that sense: I’ve had friends who went through things like exorcisms.

I used to do temp labor, and I worked in a daycare for two days before my background check was cleared. I thought it had been completed, but it hadn’t. There was nothing to find on me, but that’s not really the point. Had I been a dangerous person to those children, I would have had two days of access to them, and…

I have some issues with gender dysphoria, and I definitely have issues with getting rather depressed after orgasm and feeling sick.

I got a tubal ligation at 23 (single and childless), which is quite unusual. I had been searching for a doctor since 18, and finally found one. The minimum age was 21, and I showed up with paperwork showing that I’d done my research and why I didn’t want temporary measures. He agreed with me, and I was sterile a week…

Animaniacs had a similar concept: the “Please, Please, Pleese Get A Life Foundation!”  And I love the criticism of hyper-obsessed fans.

Congrats on your newfound sobriety! I hope you have lots of support, and even if you relapse, try to remember that you can always start again. It’s not an abject failure: a few of my friends have struggled “starting again at day 1", feeling like they’ve lost all progress, but they didn’t! They had a bad time, and now…

Plus, people have plastered his face everywhere.  I can recognize him without knowing his name, because so many people have republished his photos with descriptions of the allegations and the sentencing.

Thank you!  I don’t live in the US at all anymore, unfortunately, so I’ve been trying to figure out if there’s anything I can do besides write my representatives and vote :/

Thank you for your work.  Do you know how we can best support it, especially if we don’t have money to donate?

Then I think it’s worth it to ask a mental health professional that you trust about it! I mean, you deserve to not feel like shit all the time, or even a lot of the time. I don’t think it has to be to the level of danger of harm to self to be an option, but like I said, I know that for many people, cost is a big…

I’m a sleepy depressive. I’ve noticed that I’ve been oversleeping a lot more in the last few days in the current heat wave, so it’s something to keep an eye on :)

I’m not sure about Britain - I’m in the EU :) To be admitted, there’s generally a wait list (save for emergency cases) and approval from your mental health care professional, I believe!
