I have the urge to write my own "a boy-wizard who goes to magic boarding school" story. Only, what if it wasn't a nice school? What if it were the magic equivalent of an underfunded, American public school?

More DV advice: Being "the victim" is a common tactic to soothe an emotional injury when people feel out of control in a situation. An attempt to illicit sympathy by self-pitty is not appropriate behavior. It's a way of avoiding personal responsibility by making a show of how unfair it all is.

As a victims advocate, I know how to read court cases and legal documents. I'm not easily swayed in the face of court documents. At shelters, I've heard every justification there is for hurting a partner, or claiming they didn't in the face of evidence. What can you offer me they couldn't ?

Does violence against women matter? My only response to JDA being platformed.

I just found out that you can read where in the USA your milk came from via a "plant code". There is no legal definition of "grass fed". So your 52oz carton of $8 grass fed dairy comes from the same cows as your Great Value brand $2 gallon jug. Maybe don't spend extra money for prettier font.

Weird artist tip: If you have a favorite color that you buy lots of stuff in, don't paint your walls that color. Paint them that color's complimentary color. Then everything you love is an accent piece. I love terracotta/earthy Vermillion/salmon color's. So I paint stuff green or camel, always.

TW: eating disorder It is so taboo to talk about eating disorders. Even in the face of death. You can agree comments on someone's body isn't appropriate and also admit something is wrong. Have conversations with our kids and each other about it. At what point are we going to address this?

Not one of those terms referenced "weight". They are terms that describe a terminal illness. Let's talk about eating disorders and how they are a mental disorder, and have a 100% chance of death without intervention. 100%

Refer to your body as you wish, using the language that fits you.

It is indifferent at best, malicious at worst.

I'm not interested in watching people die in the public eye. It is sad. Not funny, not something to mind your business about. I don't care if I'm told I'm not body positive. Thin-phobic, fat-phobic. I don't care. I'm a survivor.

At what point do we decide that people's lives are more important than social niceties. We watch people dying in front of us, and a portion of people do nothing but point and laugh, and another group looks the other way because they don't want to be accused of not being body positive.
