Since apparently no one read the article, he sought counseling because he realized he put more weight into the audience’s response than his own experience in making the movie, which I think is an important lesson for anyone who makes art.
I posted this on Facebook, and my favorite professor - who had to put up with my Evangelical conservative bullshit in his political science classes - commented, “Funny.”
Okay, you know what, Greg-

took three minutes out of his Lollapalooza set in Chicago to call for a ceasefire and a free Palestine. So thankful to him for using his platform to lift up these voices.
I’m very upset that people are saying this Ryan Reynolds hate came out of “nowhere.” I’ve been out here hating that man for decades. Please do not discount how hard I’ve worked.
My God, acknowledging and empathizing with Aaron Bushnell's desperation is not "putting suicide on a pedestal." His protest is not a representation of our "deteriorating mental health system."
Some of you will do mental gymnastics your whole life to avoid feeling uncomfortable.

Matt Gaetz attended a drug-fueled sex party in 2017 with the 17-year-old girl at the center of the alleged sex trafficking scandal, according to legal documents filed to a Florida federal court shortly before midnight Thursday,
The documents cite sealed affidavits
It’s not even just about safety. Why would I drop everything to go get a drink with a man who I don’t know and who has made zero effort to get to know me? It’s a waste of my time.
People love to deride “small talk” on here, but I made friends with my neighbors by regularly engaging in small talk every time I saw them. Now we hang out! Four of us went to a street festival together yesterday!
for anyone who does want to make friends, i had to build my social life from scratch when i moved.
i met A LOT of people from twitter but also from just going out (bars, coffee shops, museums, shopping)
but the main thing was *I* had to take initiative and put myself out there
It’s difficult for me sometimes to create art without worrying about how it’s going to be received. That has to be a lot harder to deal with when it’s your livelihood.
I've been telling all of you for YEARS to listen to cult survivors when they explain how you fall into stuff like this. It's not that complicated. Smart people join cults every day.
I’m 32.
Married at 20; first child at 23.
Four kids later, my wife and I have the fullest life possible.
We are exhausted, money is tight, and the house is never fully clean, but we laugh harder and sing louder than ever.
We are responsible for four image-bearers who have
Do men not get that “grabbing a drink” means I’m foregoing any other plans for that night? Why would I give up my precious weekend for a man who didn’t bother finding out one thing about me when I could go see my friends? Why would I waste makeup on that?
@NewWestSarah
They kind of did him dirty by calling it “trauma” in the tweet. I’m not saying it is or isn’t, but that word is bound to upset some people.
I grew up in a high-demand religion that encouraged me to have three kids by 22, and I didn’t even want that life then. You really don’t understand the treatment that comes along with being reduced to a baby-making machine.
She is only 22. Married, 3 kids and bakes her husband cinnamon rolls to surprise him. She is living the life every girl thought they would be living at that age when we were kids.
I do wish my parents had been more interested in my interests and tried to understand them. But I really don’t think you should be planning social outings for your 15-year-old, especially when they have their own phone.
This is funny to me as a former Evangelical teen. No one ever worried about kids dying during the post-Columbine martyrdom hysteria, despite the countless books, songs, sermons & videos glorifying it and pastors telling literal children that they needed to be ready to die for God
I wonder how many troubled teenagers in America right now are looking at all this “rest in power” bullshit thinking “so that’s how I can go out a hero.”
Here's my advice to single American men who feel hopeless about ever finding a good woman to marry:
Take a month or two between jobs and drive across the USA. Stop at every gas station and truck stop, and eat every meal at diners during non-rush hours. Avoid cities; stop
These cops straight up murdered this woman over a pot of water they asked her to move, and people in the replies are still trying to blame her. Unbelievable.

If you really cared about public health, you wouldn't respond like this to someone who largely agreed with you and was just adding context to your tweet. It's clear that your advocacy is about your ego, not education or mitigation.
@RdotSpoon
I saw grown women on Instagram the other day complaining about a lingerie brand showing women in their underwear. I just don’t even know what to say anymore…
I personally think it’s super weird that Tobey is dating a 20-year-old, but Gen Z is fooling themselves if they think their sex lives are immune to the patriarchy.
I grew up reviling sex & hating women who didn’t because of a patriarchal religion. It never made me happy.
@XDOHXO
millennial women had no concept of boundaries or critical thinking 😭. they’re lowkey traumatized by the “sex positivity” movement. they were bamboozled by the patriarchy and don’t know how to cope and just resort to criticizing women for not making the same choices as them.

That study you linked to actually calls for interventions to keep people from beating their kids and create a more nurturing environment. I wouldn’t cite this again if I were you.
You can get to know people in person at a bar. This is a text-based app specifically for getting to know people through your phone first. You are dumb.
I actually think validation is a common incentive for both men and women to have casual sex. The difference is that drunken casual sex is almost never that physically pleasurable for women so for many (not all) women it’s just the validation and feeling of being attractive.
@offbeatorbit
I'm old enough to remember a few months ago when a video went around of a young stay-at-home mom living in a trailer and making dinner for her kids, and everyone called her white trash and said how sad she looked.
People like to tell you that grief gets “better,” but it really doesn’t. You grow around it like a tree grows around a fence. It stays the same size, same shape and same color, but maybe it feels a little less heavy because it suddenly becomes part of you.
@e_asherah
Okay, but like, sometimes… it’s like someone took a knife edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley through the middle of my skull. You know what I mean??
I went to college with this girl who was dating a guy in his mid-20s at the time, and instead of asking her to dinner, movies, etc., he’d send her a Google Calendar invite.
Girl, that is not your boyfriend. That’s your CEO.
It's just SO SO SO much harder to switch out the top of the ticket and run an effective campaign in the space of 3 months than the coverage or punditry indicates.
Look, I’m not going to pretend that I know what type of damage Covid does to your organs, but I am very adamant that you should not be getting your health information from Bryan Johnson.
@TW1NKD3STR0YER
It’s just a lot to dump into a message to a stranger! They could have said, “Hey, I think I saw you at that event last night. How’s it going?” instead of expressing that saying hi to you could have “spoiled their friend’s vibe.”

He'd already stopped treatment at that point. They threw together a wedding in a few days because they knew he had limited time. Not only are you an asshole but you're just lying.
