I wish I knew how to feel less depressed. I live in a blue area of Northern Virginia. Our governor, both senators, and my congressman are Democrats so while I will 100% be voting (and have turned out to vote blue for the less-publicized local races as well) and I have given as much as I can afford to Dem candidates in…

Alternately:

I know some folks are arguing that playing sports neither makes one more “good” or more “bad”but I have a different view. Organized sports reminds me of the police. There’s a toxic element that’s been allowed to fester and there privilege/power given to certain athletes . In no way am I saying every team or league is…

I’ve been not fat, I’ve been fat, I’ve been all over the ED spectrum. I’ve never been treated with the amount of incredulity, dismissal and disrespect as I was when I was fat. The actually serious medical problems I had were chalked up to my weight over and over, and I was sent home without any further investigation.…

WOW!  Read this thread, this is an amazing testimony:

I agree, but a big problem is that many (all? most?) states follow Texas’s lead in textbook purchasing. Because they’re so big—it some economy of scale thing. I am not explaining well, but let me look for a source:

My grandmother’s name is Hazel. Ya’ll waaay late.

The best they’ve come up with is “She was working a 12-hour+ shift.” That’s the best shit they’ve been able to come up with.

This incident has made me so furious I can barely see straight. So I’m just going to focus on praying that we actually get some justice on this

The Lawyer for Jeans estate seems to have spoken to one of the witnesses. We’ll hear about their story soon I’m hoping.

Swiss cheese has fewer holes than her story.

She parked on the wrong level and didn’t notice she was on the wrong floor and upon entering the wrong apartment.....

Can one of our fellow “globalists” get this guy a globe? New Zealand is NOT in the middle of the Pacific.

Jamie Dantzscher wrote an incredibly powerful foreword to a book on gymnastics where she writes about realising as an adult that somebody she thought was kind (Nassar) actually abused her:

Y’all, I have, like, a teenage girl crush on Beto O’Rourke. We hugged once (well, side hug, like a Duggar) and I swear I got butterflies. He’s very, very handsome.

See? This is why I don't play games with other people.

This list really needs some sort of mentioning of Fantasy Life.

You want to point to someone deserving salutes, it’s these firefighters. The heat, wearing all that poundage of protective clothing and equipment, having to hoof it up and down mountainsides, the nasty conditions of smoke and fire when fighting the flames, the grueling hours; salute.
