Which three foods best describe your personality?

Ooooh this is a tough one because I love food. All of it. All over the world.

For starters, I have a very strange general food anxiety: it’s painful for me to waste food. I’m convinced I was a starving pauper in every single past life I’ve lived until this one because it hurts my soul to throw away food or see it being thrown away. (This was very tough working in a restaurant for decades, too.) Not sure if I saw too many of those starving African commercials when I was a child or what—but I’ll overeat before I waste food. Another theory is that because I come from a big family (I’m the oldest of five) there was rarely food to waste and never leftovers and it was always the person who ate the fastest who got seconds. Maybe I was just hungry a lot growing up! Either way, I think that anxiety around food itself probably says a lot about my personality—I’m a worry wart and always have been.

Now for the main course. Today we are serving:

Maggie is back! Also: The "No Complaining" challenge.

Unedited Check-In 144

Hello new followers, I hope I don’t disappoint you. I want this place to feel like home, where we can escape the Thunderdome and process the world. Where we can post dog pics and recipes and book recommendations. Where we support each other as we get sober, lose weight, embark on new business opportunities, creative endeavors, relationships and travels. I want this to be your oasis of sanity and laughter in an increasingly mad world. A creative outlet where you can share your spirit with us.

We might not have any control over the news cycle—but we can control our habits and attitude. It all starts with us. And hopefully a little piece of that will start here.

New Dumpster Fire Premieres at 8pm CT

Bridget breaks down the meteoric rise and tragic fall of Oscar bait, and generally terrible film, Emilia Pérez.

Good morning

I am healing from the reconstruction surgery that happened a week ago but started two years ago

I don’t want to be weak and tired today

But I am

I am tired of persevering.

Nevertheless that is what I must do

If I have to be tired and foggy headed I should let go of the resentment and find out what wonders this day can hold

You shouldn’t be able to see your own face while you talk about your childhood trauma.

What, if anything, made you laugh in the past 24 hours. If nothing made you laugh, write about something that made you smile. If nothing made you laugh or smile—write about why.

(Sorry for the delay on this prompt—life happened.)

It was yesterday, in the middle of my virtual therapy session...

June 5 - What is a Woman/Man?
The writing prompts are back! And since everyone is talking about "what is a woman?" I thought we should dig into our Factory Settings and find out what we learned about this stuff.

If you are a woman, what messaging did you receive about womanhood? Same question for if you are a man? What messaging did you receive about manhood? From the culture? From your parents? From your religion if you were raised with one?

Pause whatever you’re doing, and ask the person nearest you what they’re thinking about (call someone if you have to). Write a post based on it.
