Hello Pham, I just observed an interaction here that upset me greatly. A member of our community reached out in the darkness to express their gratitude for this being a safe space where they could get support in a stressful time and not be met with a barrage of political opinions and they were met with...a political opinion. Let me be clear: this definitely violates the one rule of DON'T BE A DICK.
If you feel the need to express your opinion about something politically, feel free to do so in the general community--NOT under the post of a member in distress. It's not the time or the place. We are Pham. We are here to love and support one another when we are struggling, not make a shitty situation even shittier by making it about us and our opinions.
Please ask yourself before you post a response to someone: does this need to be said and am I the one to say it? The answer is often NO.
I'm fiercely protective of the members of this community and keeping it safe. I'm even more protective of the women. And I will go full mama bear.
Spoke with the insightful & delightful Helena about what it was like to detransition. We have a frank & compassionate conversation about her journey, what led her to the realization that she was not trans, and so much more.If you have teenage girls, this episode is particularly important. #WalkInsWelcome

Had the hilarious Rosebud Baker on #WalkInsWelcome to talk about her new special "Whiskey Fists" and have a wide-ranging conversation about comedy, tragedy, love and Britney Spears.
Maggie is back! Also: The "No Complaining" challenge.
This week @samanthashahi and talk about what went into making #DumpsterFire without the brains behind the operation, Maggie.
And I yell at Millie, as usual.
This one's all over the place as I am in a mood. #WalkInsWelcome
TOPIC: Let's finish the year strong!
We will be discussing 4th quarter goals professionally and personally. How do you want to finish your year off? What are things you have been putting off that you want to complete? Come prepared to get motivated and with any questions you have for me! Let's do this, Pham!
This will be for subscribers only.
As you all know, my trip to South Africa was life-changing. Right now they are in need of a boat to protect an island getting decimated by poachers and I volunteered to help raise the funds.
I realize a lot of the focus for fundraising is on Afghanistan and Haiti (rightfully) but I don't want to forget about the folks who are fighting the war to conserve our most endangered species.
In honor of what you've given me as a community, my dog, and what we need right now in the world, I've suggested we name the boat HOPE in their local dialect.
I've put down $1000 but anything you can give to help would be amazing.
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.
