For the Labor Day holiday and as thanks for Jenna McCarthy's knee-slapping humor, generosity and perspicacity, may I present to discerning commentors this Medical Disclaimer as a Free Gift, an asset in these trying, changing times. It could save your life. Or you sanity. Or, at least, your dignity.

DISCLAIMER: Ask your doctor if this entire situation is right for you. Psychotropic medications may cause relief, confusion, clarity, fog, stability, instability, or the sudden urge to reorganize your life, your furniture, or your moral compass. Side effects may include:

· emotional flattening

· emotional intensifying

· emotional unpredictability

· insomnia

· oversleeping

· impulsivity

· lethargy

· cognitive fog

· cognitive lightning

· tremors

· stillness

· appetite changes in all directions

frequent sneezing

loss of sense of humor

· and occasional existential dread

In rare cases, medications may cause you to question your doctor, your diagnosis, your treatment plan, your insurance company, your pharmacist, your life choices, or the entire psychiatric‑industrial complex.

Do not take psychotropic medications if you are allergic to psychotropic medications, adverse outcomes, or unexpected consequences. Tell your doctor if you experience sudden changes in mood, behavior, judgment, impulse control, or the desire to reenact pharmaceutical commercials in your living room.

Do not operate heavy machinery, light machinery, emotional machinery, or your own life without consulting a qualified professional. If you begin to feel like a different person, please note that this may be normal, abnormal, expected, unexpected, reversible, irreversible, or “within clinical parameters.”

If you experience catastrophic side effects, please contact your doctor immediately. If your doctor is unavailable, please contact your doctor’s covering doctor, your doctor’s covering doctor’s covering doctor, or the automated voicemail system that will return your call in 7–10 business days.

Psychotropic medications are not responsible for outcomes resulting from psychotropic medications. Consult your doctor for details.

Ask your doctor if accountability is right for them.

If HuffPo didn't mention the OK sign as a dog whistle for white power, they didn't dig deep enough. They're obviously a bunch of amateurs.

With the benefit of hindsight, I'll add to the “believe women” diktat. If it's a woman who accuses a prominent dem of innappropriate behavior, you don't have to believe HER, because she's obviously lying MAGA scum.

It is very entertaining to make fun of liberals... not challenging, they make large targets... but yes, very entertaining, and deserving of extensive ridicule, such as:

Leftist content creator = amateur bull shitter

Note to Jenna’s subscribers- if you haven’t purchased her book of essays (anthology), I highly recommend. And not because my essay is included in the book. Erin Cole’s essay made me laugh out loud and the others were both heartwarming and heartbreaking. It’s a book I will forever treasure. Thank you Jenna. I think you need to write a sequel. 🙏🏻

Is this a rebus for “I swear I love you”? 😂

Laura Kasner's avatar

Haha! I was wondering that too, Juju

Oh, no! I must hide all this from my Trump-deranged husband. When he brings up some anti-DJT topic that he just read about in our (Red) Star Tribune (Minnesota 🙄), I claim to know nothing about it, even tho I could argue circles around him. I simply don't want to engage. It works sometimes.

CynthiaS's avatar

I have to do that with my 85 yo dad. Sorry it’s your husband 😬

I am thankful for the ‘not knowing about that’ phrase, except when a blowhard lib tries to enlighten me.😁 Had to use it when the BO ‘library’ came up the other day. Seems he still walks on water in some circles.

Hilarious as usual. I did go down the HuffPost rabbit hole links...gee, the "tolerant and compassionate ones" are incredibly catty and mean! Wow; haven't seen that much vitriol over superficial things since middle school!

Whatever happened to “Single White Male, Conservative seeks Single White Female, Conservative for marriage and family.” Just asking….it’s been a long time since I even considered that scene.

Happy Labor Day!!

Why, of COURSE they did. They're smrter (see what I did there?) than we are, remember? Only THEY have bachelors degrees.

Also: wokies never start a sentence with "I think"; it's always "I feel like" or "it feels like" (rather than "seems"). We can thank K-12 touchy-feely programming for dumbing them down to this. Brain not required, only fee-fees. To millenials and gen Zers, asserting "I think" equals racist micro-aggression !

Don't forget 'My truth is that...'

I cuss a lot, don’t know where I fit in…feelings of insecurity.

Juju's avatar

I cuss a lot too. It’s a sign there’s a fierce warrior trapped inside my female body … 😂😎

Kaycee's avatar

I love cussing. I try not to in polite company but it is so much fun!

Richard schoenenberger's avatar

It think it is stress relief 🌅

Kaycee's avatar

Absolutely!!! Thank you for your support!!!! 😂

My two best laughs for today: "Sorry if you are unable to unsee the top half" (can't believe how sorry I am) and "The irony Is doing laps around the building." I think of the millions of words you've written over the years, Jenna, and am simply gobsmacked by your constantly fresh wit and wisdom. Happy Labor (free) Day!!
