"Narcissism and sociopathy describes corporate America. But it’s flat-out wrong to think in twenty-first century America that narcissism and sociopathy are illnesses. In today’s America, narcissism and sociopathy are strategies. And they’re very successful strategies, especially in business and politics and entertainment.”" — Nov 28, 2024 04:46PM

“I hugged him and held him for a few seconds. My embrace couldn't fix what was happening with his baby and it couldn't fix the abuse from my tio. But I wanted it to fix what had happened between us. His hug was gentle, and I felt mine soften. My shoulders dropped and I felt his drop, too. Something lifted out of our bodies. I had pictured Ever as a monster. Did he transform? Or did I? Tortuga Bebe didn't grab anyone by the ear and force us to work things out. She drew compassion from our skin with an invisible electricity. She did more work for our families in her three days than I did in two decades.”

“I was giving my final cast notes when the cramping began. I went to the girls' bathroom, sat down in a stall, and pulled down my jeans.
I apologize in advance for what I am about to describe.
Imagine a jellyfish as big as an ashtray. Now turn that jellyfish dark bloodred and multiply it by a few hundred. Now imagine pulling down your Sergio Valente jeans and seeing hundreds of ashtray-size bloodred jellyfish pouring out of you. That's what happened to me.
"AUUUUUUUUUGH!" I started screaming.
AUUUUUUGH!"
The bloody pieces - the lining of my uterus, I guess- kept gushing from my body and into the water. It was like my insides were falling out. I tried to catch them in my hands to stop it. There was too much. Plunk. plunk, plunk, plunk. It was endless. A deluge!”
