Sometimes I feel like Bipolar Disorder is a curse. Diagnosis is meant to help, not hinder. #BipolarDisorder

Tanked and hungry. Low mood. I was editing my messenger status and saw the word “tits” as if that word was in my previous status. Hopefully not. I guess I am seeing things!

@StandUpForElonn That’s funny.

Patriarchalism (Enlightenment) is a social philosophy that views a ruler as an extension of a father’s authority over family. In modern use, patriarchalism refers to any system dominated by male authority or one that justifies power hierarchies through fatherly rule. #educateme

Although it is Constantine the Great (c. 272–337 CE) who is given credit for establishing Christianity as the dominant religion of the Western world, it was the influence of his mother HELENA that served to greatly expedite the spread of the faith. #History #100WomenInHistory
