Can we just take a pause to consider all of the total fucking bullshit to which we subject ourselves?

91% of women report dissatisfaction with their body. Ninety-one. I know you know math—that’s 9/10 of women.

New research suggests that brain inflammation occurring independent of a disease may be linked to depression. Could a "cure" be on the horizon?

You know what’s an epidemic? Making people feel second rate and ashamed, criminalizing them for something like having an obese pregnancy.

At certain points in the month I definitely feel worse about my body. I'm much less confident and more prone to eating the wrong things, and not doing physical exercise.

No, Bill Cosby isn't my dad. But he was like one to me growing up.
