I’m not broken by this therapy failure. Jane wasn't the person to help me at this point of my life. Someone else WILL be.

Is anyone else with me on this? White foods are NASTY.

The other magical thing about living in 2015 is the Internet. You can get great training in all kinds of fields while sitting in your underwear at home.

I’m terrified of wrongful imprisonment. To be the only one who knows the truth and have to live every day in a cell, wondering, why, god, why?

84% of full professors in America are White. In case you were unsure, that does not match the overall makeup of the country or the student body.
