is trending, but I'm glad it is. My name is Karen, I'm an alcoholic, and I haven't had a drink in 12 years, but lately my addiction has been screaming in my head ...

@tatertotsconor
Obsessive idolization of ideas (health, vitality, strength, youth, etc).
Millions of dollars poured down the drain trying to appear to be the ideal they want to be.
Looking good is what matters.
Sickness, age, disability are anathema to them.
I say this as a white woman.
@CharlesMBlow
It's a beautiful piece. Too many people in this country don't see the poor who live in their communities, and too often the poor are blamed for their poverty. Well written, good sir.
At tonight’s ANTIFA meeting, we will continue our infiltration of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s personal life through her DC residence television set using joint mind control.
Bring a crucifix, holy water, rosary beads, one priest and a spiritual medium. Location beamed 5G. BYOFS.
Usually when people yell such things on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, people back away & look around for cops, not cheer him on and decide to vote for him for President.
@jonathanstea
As a person with mental illness, I find this kind of thing deeply offensive.
As a person with respect for medical sciences, I find this kind of thing terrifying.
I am on disability.
I receive TANF.
I am a Medicaid recipient.
An administrative law judge determined that I am incapable of working.
The GOP wants me to not exist.
The final hold up on the debt limit deal is that the GOP insists on putting work requirements on food assistance and Medicaid.
Thats right, the GOP will crash the world economy unless allowed to take FOOD and MEDICINE away from poor people.
They are depraved.

Because they don’t mean “pro-life,” they mean “anti-abortion,” which is why pro-choice advocates have been calling them “anti-choice” for years.
@TizzyEnt
I actually am scared of angry, drunken white men. Most of the violence I've experienced in my life has been at the hands of angry, drunken white men.
@cain_wtf
I graduated with a master’s degree & $180,000 in student loans. Because of interest & fees, that debt is now over $265,000 & growing. I got fired from my job for being sick too long (yes they can) & if I manage to get disability the student loan people will garnish that.
@WonderKing82
I live quite close to the Tangerine Man's rally today in PA & I can assure you that if I weren't tired of white people before (which I was), I most assuredly am now.
@kadamssl
It's reminiscent of the early days of the AIDS epidemic. (I saw someone else mention it, but it bears repeating) I wonder if anyone is compiling the data, though, if anyone is keeping track of how many people are dying of covid.

@RobertKennedyJr
He sounds like a guy I met the first time I was in a psych ward, only no one was going to vote for that dude for President.
Also, he was a decent guy, which RFKJr most certainly is not.

"The sin of Sodom was not about homosexuality. The sin of Sodom was that the men refused to show hospitality to strangers. Instead of loving the strangers as themselves, they engaged in gang rape."
@DaveMcCormickPA
People who live here don't feel the need to put "Pennsylvania" in front of words like "wrestling."
You'd know that if you lived here, but maybe that's a thing they do in Connecticut? Like "Connecticut lying"?
@glaad
I’m proud that I remember that every time I stand up for the rights of any of us to be who we are, I’m doing it for a little red-headed girl whose first crush was an Irish woman who was staying with her grandma in 1979, who was overjoyed with love and terrified someone would know

That's funny - I haven't been able to adjust my oven clock for months (the button's stuck) but starting today, it's right again!
@mistergeezy
She thinks she's being dramatic with the whispering -- like of course Miss 20-something (with a V tattooed on her neck, WTF?) has figured out something that the rest of us don't know -- but really it's just annoying & quiet.
Hey, Jane Campion, screw off.
There is no apology for what you did.
You are the epitome of those people who dismiss the struggles and suffering of other human beings by saying "but look at what I go through!"
You are toxic.
@Penny_J_Thomas
My kid is about to turn 15 & cares about LGBTQIA+ rights, gun reform, health care & the environment.
Told me the other day that they don't feel like they're knowledgeable enough about foreign policy to make an informed decision & I respect that.
@MikeKellyPA
The Biden Administration issued a new rule capping credit cards late fees at $8. This will save ordinary folks $10 billion/year! Republicans are trying to roll back the rule. Why? You're my Representative. Please

and vote NO on H.J. Res. 122!
@GiannoCaldwell
The Bible commands us to pray that God’s will be done. Literally. “Thy will be done” Matthew 6:10 As a Christian, I follow the teachings of Christ, and one of the hardest of those is to not pray for what I want but for the strength to accept God’s will.

In 2006, I saw Kris Kristofferson at the
@RexTheater
in Pittsburgh. He came out alone, stood on the stage with a guitar & harmonica and had the entire crowd in the palm of his hand all evening.
Does my heart good to think people are being introduced to his brilliance today.
I've been ranting to friends about this for a while but I thought it bears repeating. What better way to begin ADHD Awareness month than to ask you all to consider this?

@emrazz
No, that's a quality actor having earned a reputation for being entertaining in projects. It's literally why movie posters have actors' names on them. Sheesh.
@ArmandDoma
The fact is that psychiatric wards, hospitals, etc are not all the "Stanford Prison Experiment" & there is no reason they should be. People can be treated well, with kindness, while receiving treatment for medical conditions.
@admiralmpj
I'm 51.
I've been warning people for decades that, given the chance, Republicans would overturn Roe, criminalize abortion & ban birth control because they hate women.
They want women docile & subjugated (yes, even (R) women want that).
I'm enraged, sad & exhausted.

I have had two uterine biopsies without (wow, that pain is horrific). Also, I had an IUD inserted & removed without - removed after it started feeling like it was coming out (constant pain).
@arose230
As an alcoholic, I can honestly tell you that I remember the days of trying to remember what I did the night before. I tried (and failed) to stop for so long. Then, someone told me that I didn't have to stop forever, I just had to stop for one day. Just one day. My love to you.
