It's come to my attention that some of you might be wondering why you are here (since this is a topic that is being openly discussed). I just want to add my two cents to this conversation: if this place isn't bringing you joy, I encourage you to move on to somewhere else that might. It brings a lot of other people joy--and me--but it clearly isn't working for some of you. I promise you, if you're wondering why you're here, it's time to go. You will find somewhere better, somewhere more resonate. Phetasy gave you something for a time and perhaps that time has passed.
This was meant to be a place of joy, a place where we can check out of the culture wars and into our humanity. A place where I can connect to the people who consume my work and we can share a laugh, recipes, dog pictures, memes, and try to find the things that bring us together; to focus on the things we are for--not against. A place where we can debate lovingly and openly but not tear each other down and call each other names.
I only want everyone to find their bliss, get out of their own way, look for the love and joy in their life. If you aren't finding that here--it's time to move on. I'll still love you and wish you all the best. For as much as I joke about making me rich--I really just want to make people happy.
It was fun catching up with my old friend in comedy and sister in pregnancy, Jessica. Enjoy!
It was such a pleasure talking to Sally Satel about the opioid crisis, addiction, recovery, how it's a miracle anyone ever gets sober, the ramifications of political correctness in medicine and so much more. #WalkInsWelcome

Maybe we should just focus on TV show reviews.

Hey Pham,
Some of you have been asking if we have a list of our promo codes for all the Dumpster Fire & Walk-Ins Welcome sponsors. We made a list and you can find it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11ErjcLnuDxjb4FibbeY3yh97UOUyfeqr5xz6zKV57mw/edit?usp=sharing
We'll do our best to keep it updated.
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.
