It would be the story I told at every party until I died.

Now this is the stuff I come to SM for! 😆

Years ago, my Mother-in-law began reading, "The Exorcist". She said it was the most evil book she ever read. So evil in fact, she couldn't finish it, took it over to the beach and threw it into the ocean off a fishing pier. I went and bought another copy, ran the faucet over it and left it in the night table drawer by her bed. My Father-in-law said that night was the first time she ever screamed and fainted. I'm going to Hell, but I'll go laughing.

Good morning to this specific person

Oh that's a double whammy, I'm sorry. I didn't know you'd gotten a diabetes diagnosis.

I really hope you can find medication that works better for you than metformin.

Fatphobia in the medical establishment does so much harm!

I'm so sorry, Kay. 💜

I mean, in theory, we're supposed to have separation of church and state.

In reality, that seems to go out the window.

Children continue to pay the price for the obstinacy of adults.

My heart goes out to the kids in Louisiana and their families.

Shitty politics doesn't bar cis het white folks from living their best lives, why should it be a bar for the rest of us?

Marginalized communities are allowed to just as fallible, just as human, as the rest of y'all.

I want people to understand why expecting perfection from trans folks, queer folks, disabled folks, and immigrants is problematic.

If the only thing keeping you from misgendering a trans woman or from calling for deportation of an immigrant, is their politics, you are part of the problem.

It's wild.

Like what do you mean I have to pay to file my taxes because the government knows what I owe but chooses not to tell me?!

I'm so sorry you went through that!

Don't remember the particulars, but apparently folks thought an actor could do no wrong just because he was a Texan.

And that immigrants had no right to point how fucked up it was that they chose to put a guy,who professionally plays pretend, on a fucking pedestal.

OMFG, and they just get away with it?!

OMFG I still remember that kerfuffle.

People identifying more with movie stars than ordinary folk like them was fucking wild.

If you needed another reason to avoid Target, read this thread.

This is hands down one of the most terrifying things I've read about a seemingly ordinary grocery run.

Missouri town fires half its city council over data center deal Residents of a St. Louis suburb turned out in droves to unseat four incumbents just days after the council approved a development agreement for a $6 billion data center.

Voters in a small Missouri town, unhappy with the city council’s approval of a $6B data center, ousted all four incumbent council members running for reelection

I'll take sweaty season over shiverring season any day!

Same!!

The mild weather we're having is giving me life.

What do you mean I can walk outdoors in a single layer and not be cold?! 😄

I'm gonna consider it a badge of honor that I dunno what this is about.

Hate that. Hope you feel better soon! 💜

Remind me again why the US doesn't simply tell you how much you owe in taxes?

Why do we have to play a guessing game every year WHILE paying for the privilege?!

I've so much deja vu from the whole Al Franken thing on twitter.

California is not the only state with such "problems" and easy for you to write them off while demanding assault survivors retraumatize themselves to meet whatever standards randos like you have set for them.

People like Mike are part of the structural problem sexual assault victims face when trying to cope with their trauma.

The legal circus around sexual assault is a quintessential example of "heads I win, tails you lose."

There were 14,000 unprocessed sexual assault forensic evidence kits, as of 2020, in the State of California per their OWN audit findings.

People running for public office who have religious imagery in their official communications should be avoided like the plague.

Coming back to this site after an illness to find shitty dems reveling themselves by supporting shitty dem congressmen.

Keep it up, y'all. Thank you for making it easy to determine who should be avoided like the plague.

Thank you!

It definitely knocked me down, but doing better now.

Thanks, Kay!

It's always difficult being sick when you're single and have no family around.

Thankfully work was understanding and I was able to get better without the stress of taking a hit on pay.
