You underestimate what it means to hold a creep like this accountable. I’ve been trying to get my pervert psychotherapist held accountable for 3 years & CA board of psych says I have at least a year to go. They don’t just fix it. The patient is retraumatized over & over

I was on a terrifying ride by

a couple years back & had to jump out of the car on the freeway. got the same line that I’d “never be paired with him again” I begged lyft to stop letting him drive & for his full name to make a police report & was told his info was “protected”

My poor kid is suffering and we’re working around the clock. we don’t have time to work on ourselves at all. This is a really selfish statement

FWIW every time my husband or I go to pick up a prescription we tell each other "I'm going to get medicines from the towns" 20 years later

I am old enough to remember when us libs thought Mitt Romney getting elected was the worst thing that can happen. God help us all to recover from America's worst four years since 1861-1865. Wishing everyone the best.
@RyanShead
The point of protesting is to disrupt people's lives and livelihood. If you're protesting in a place where you're not getting in anyone's way then you're doing it wrong. I would be so upset if I was stuck in this traffic but they're doing it right.

An east coast friend asked me shyly recently if I thought she was too old to have a baby….at 40. I said “that is the minimum age for pregnancy in Los Angeles”
@LAUSDSup
Our children should see those who care for them and their school being paid appropriately not exploited. We should be teaching them to stand up for themselves. Pay these workers. This is on you dude.

Woody Allen movies shaped my world view. He is a genius. BUT he also made movie after movie about hooking up with very young girls including Manhattan about dating a high school kid. Many geniuses are monsters as well. Both things can be true.
@matt_vanswol
So many unethical therapists out there. I was trapped with someone awful for 3.5 years who made my life miserable. We hold therapists up to be experts on what's best for us but the bar to become a therapist is incredibly low

In my junior high school Health class, the teacher did a lesson on
#suicide
prevention. Since I was suicidal I was relieved. Then she clarified that she was referring to "real" suicidal people and not ones just saying it "for attention." So I didn't tell anyone.
@likaluca
FYI I started following you when you got kittens & had no idea you were a badass publishing exec until I came across the NYT story at which point I exclaimed "OMG the kitten lady is famous!" You are a freaking delight and your next chapter will be riveting. I have spoken.
I brought up the movie

and my partner of 19 years just said “I never saw it” I said “Of course you have” and he’s like “I missed it”
Who is this stranger in my bed? I am afraid. I thought he knew me. But he does not Nomi.

I remember my next door neighbor and her group screaming that the cable broke, then I found out the ending, knew it, watched the complete series 3 years later, and at the end of the finale I started screaming that the cable must have gone out.

Please also let the foster/adoption agencies know your main goal is to have the kid take care of you when you’re old. They love that!

This is how the entire state of Vermont dresses and sits 6 months out of the year. It is not a microaggression. Please get a hobby. Maybe knitting?

Dude,...you literally told people ONE WEEK ago to go out and dine at patio restaurants. How do you expect anyone to listen to anything you're saying? It is clear and terrifying that you have absolutely no plan.

Dude said alcohol. Under this tweet’s rules you can do 100% of everything else. And with $3 billion there’s for sure something better than alcohol! (Coming from a wino)

My son has special needs & needs to be able to go to his preschool & therapy clinic. I have heard nothing about your plans to help special needs kids during this lockdown. Please socialize them. I can't even imagine how many kids are suffering this way.

But....I don’t want to wear a crop top. It makes me uncomfortable. Like REALLY uncomfortable. Why do I at 44 have to desperately succumb to fashion dictated by 20 year olds? I didn’t wear a crop top when i was 20 and I don’t want to wear one now.
When I say my son is severely

people often ask me if I've watched
#loveonthespectrum
because it's "so cute." I always say "No. Do they include people with severe

autism?" and they say "no" and I say "Why would I watch that?"
@drjonty
Maybe they’re just super boring and indulgent movies? I still hear people talking about the lesbian Christmas movie all over the place so it’s not like no movie can “make it” right now. I fell asleep during the trailer for Mank. Maybe make a more culturally relevant movie?

The dude in front of me in grad school used to sit in the front row and play "Deal or No Deal" on his computer for 3 hours straight. I appreciated it.

That’s the more modest picture of her. I don’t think anyone should be shamed for being a sex worker but should at least be honest about it

I feel like Joni and Neil young and me are the 3 people who quit spotify. I thought we were doing a thing and then everyone came in with their “wrapped” two weeks ago like nothing ever happened.
@tressiemcphd
I was a lonely kid who watched movies all the time. I spent a very long time looking at life as a story that comes with a well written narrative and a resolution--good or bad. This did not serve me well at all.
This was my great grandma's SUFFRAGETTE TAMBOURINE, from when she marched for her right to vote 106 years ago.

Thank you to her and all the other badass

They're already lashing out. They tried to kill the Vice-President and came within one gunshot of having 80 members of Congress held hostage. Shutting them down on Twitter is important. Don't crap on it because you think it'll make them "more mad." They're ready to kill everyone.
My exhausted overworked kind husband ordered our Thanksgiving dinner for the wrong day & it’s ready for pickup now and this is the sexiest mistake he’s ever made and I’m having Turkey for dinner.

Do Republicans think tampons are bad? I guess they'd prefer women be sent to a cave during their menstruation days each month? Thank you for the tampons

I was afraid to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night because I was afraid that either snakes and/or Jesus would come flying out of the toilet to get me--and Jesus would be in the form of one of the screaming cloud spirits from the climax of "Raiders of the Lost Art."
@MollyJongFast
It so joyful. I just want them to keep counting and recounting announcing it over and over again. I can't get enough. Have we recounted Vermont yet? Those hippies be shady and we all know it....
