Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
reactionary bullshit is clickbait.
Yup.
Slate pisses me off about 40% of the time. Another 40% of the time the articles are just kind of meh. The only writer I really trust over there is Dahlia Lithwik, and even she often gets saddled with horrible headlines.

In the midst of cancelling cable and getting rid of the landline, AT&T proved themselves incompetent and I may not have reliable internet at home until they come on Tuesday to install a thing.
I've got a pile of DVDs, TV episodes, and books to read. I need to declutter, cull my closet, mop the kitchen... I'll probably be okay.
Sue, you are awesome.
goddamit, I have a cold. I still need a flu shot but I'm not feeling well enough to get one.
Well, I do have ADHD. (Diagnosed this morning.) So, um whoo?
But I cannot take the meds because I already have high blood pressure and other indicators of heart danger.
Anyone know a good source for non-medical ADHD coping mechanisms?
ION: a horde of St. Bernards wreaking gentle chaos in the woods. . . and most adorable helmet cam video ever. Love how she's humming to herself and her pony's fuzzy ears.
sumi,
after all this time did you have suspicions?
are you feeling better after diagnosis or just numb?
I am sitting in the break room and dodging work. I guess that counts as applying my learnings.
I had no suspicions. My counselor suggested it on Friday and I did a self-test on Saturday and made the appt with my doctor and here we are.
I'm starting to realize that it makes alot more sense but I wish I had figured it out earlier in life.
Sue, you are awesome.
They sent us one at work and I was not awesome enough to go into my work email to find it...but I knew they were out there.
Sumi, at least you have a diagnosis??? Yay? I have heard lots of dietary "cures" but nothing specific and I am not sure how credible. A lot of them seemed to involve blaming sugar/wheat/food dyes.
