The heartbreaking, very serious mental illness Jasmine is demonstrating makes the whole season feel icky/exploitative. This isn’t a Spicy Latina trope, it’s a real human being cycling through crisis events and terrorizing their partner while producers provoke her. #90dayfiance

Living is so hard for everyone, but I don’t know that men of a certain age understand how scary it is when they stonewall on therapy, especially the sliding scale and free stuff. How frightening it can feel to hear they won’t even try.
Because Halloween, the subscribers-only ep. we did about the Real Life Dude who inspired Bram Stoker’s Van Helsing is FREEEE for anyone to listen to for the next 24 hours. It’s very silly, oddly informative, ad-free, and the voice over work is A+. 👂🏼:
