Oh, child. Cable used to come in on Channel 3, unless your region had a broadcast station using Channel 3, and you had to use Channel 4. And the Pong or Atari console connected to the TV's VHF terminal screws so you could override the antenna.
Yes, it's a double standard that we don't punish most non-LGBTQ+ actors for having conspicuous personal lives in the same way as LGBTQ+ ones, but studios only care about money. Things may have improved a bit (if Rupert Everett came out now, it wouldn't be the big deal it was then),…

I laugh every time Buzzfeed cites "technical writer" as a great job with a big future. Of course, there are always going to be people who write STEM textbooks, grant proposals for scientists and engineers, etc., and it is an uncommon, valuable talent to be equally good at understanding…
Is this AI? It sounds like a computer trying to suggest obvious things everybody knows.
If you are "disorganized," you probably have reasons. Maybe you have time-management issues and race out the door every morning and that's why you don't make the bed, or you are actively avoiding…
Mindfulness and acceptance are often part of recovery, but you simply can't "escape" your own brain and keep living...at which point, many folks struggling with SPMIs will give you a sad smile and say, "I'd kill myself, but I'm afraid I'll go to Hell, and Hell for me will be more…
