I’m a clinical social worker that works as a therapist in a community mental health agency that provides services in low-income, predominately Black and Latino/Hispanic neighborhoods. I work primarily with children aged 0-17.

I’m a social worker who works as a therapist in LA County. There have been many times that families I work with call the police because a family member is expressing suicidal ideation or has been engaging in self-harm. The police go out, can’t do much, and end up having to call the PET team or transport the person to…

Enforcing rules, consequences and boundaries is a good place to start.

I would just like to recommend Dr. Ramani Durvasula’s videos on narcissism on MedCircle.

Maybe 6 years ago I found a rusty screw in a chicken taco I ordered from one of my favorite Mexican spots. I’ve been going there since I was a kid, so I wrote it off as a one time thing. Hasn’t happened again since.

Nobody believes this was spontaneous, right?

I feel awful about the baby dying and that Lisa and her husband have lost a child. I understand the desire to have a baby at home with as little intervention as possible, but at some point you have to be able to recognize that something is wrong and seek out professional help. Complications happen, and in those…

As someone who has lived in the area my entire life and has chosen to work in the area as a social worker, it’s really not horrible. Of course the cities you mentioned have issues, but there is a lot of good within them too, specifically the people who live here. 

Honestly, I have mixed feelings too. I don’t think the teacher is a horrible person who deserves to go to jail and have his life ruined, but I’m also just not ok with how he acted. I’m a social worker who works with adolescents and adults who say stuff like this to me every single day. I’ve been called a cunt,…

I live less than 2 miles from Maywood Academy, and it’s part of the larger community I grew up, and currently live in. I’m honestly really surprised by how divided people are on what this teacher did. I get where his supporters are coming from, but as a social worker working and living in this community, the teacher…

Maybe I’m mistaken, but in the original Charmed it didn’t seem like the Book of Shadows would magically open to the right page as often. I remember quite often that the sisters would have to frantically flip through pages trying to find the right spell. In this version it seems like anytime they ask for it, they get…

I’m annoyed that they’re setting up a love triangle between Maggie, Parker, and Lucy. She has had like 3 short conversations with him, and barely knows him. It just seems like another show that’s going to go with the tired girls fighting over a guy who’s not really worth being fought over, which is going to lead to…

This show really is Charmed-by-way-of-Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They have their supernatural problems, usually representing a metaphor, as the A-plot, and then how that supernatural problem affects their non-supernatural life, usually in the form of the secrets they keep/the time they spend dealing with things, as the…

A decked out compound bow, arrows, case, target, and accessories. It’s not the most expensive thing I’ve ever bought, but it’s the most expensive thing I’ve bought on a whim, and purely because I wanted it.

Can someone tell me what Pete Davidson has done in the past that makes him a bad person? It’s alluded to in the article and I don’t remember him doing anything terrible and I couldn’t find anything on a quick google search.

Um, she wasn’t though. He’s clearly poking fun at himself, the idiot who proposes to girls 5 minutes after meeting them. There was nothing mean-spirited about his joke. 

Plus, the joke was clearly self-deprecating. I’ve been saying it from the start that they’re both unstable and immature but Pete seems like the nicer one here, Ariana gives me mean girl vibes. Pete made some tasteless jokes but I guess it’s lost on people that joking about something isn’t the same as doing something. 

Yeah, I’m Team Pete on this one. He was doing a promo for Saturday Night Live, for fuck’s sake, which is a COMEDY SKETCH SHOW. Ariana Grande’s response was stupidly immature. Quite frankly, I give massive side-eye to anyone who airs their personal issues on a public forum, whether or not they’re a celebrity. The whole…

I am actually Team Davidson on this one. He was clearly making a dumb joke about his bad luck in love and the fact that their engagement was the literal definition of a media circus (and referenced several times on SNL already). Her clapping back just ... doesn’t sit right with me.

I refuse to believe that Justin Timberlake has interesting enough sex to need a safe word.
