Mine was covered; if physical therapy in general is covered under your plan, this should be too. The thing is, most insurance companies won’t pay for enough sessions; they’ll give you something laughable like six or eight sessions and then you’re on your own. But if you shop around, you might find someone with a…

those who are el salvadorian

That’s a lovely and charitable take on the situation. That foster care worker’s post was condescending af; you can say it. ;-)

Yeah, but you don’t even have to get married to get put through that wringer. Fathers generally get those rights if they ask for them whether or not they were ever married to their kids’ mother.

I mean, it’s not entirely untrue. Basically, white people currently have more than we deserve because of discrimination. Reversing that discrimination, making opportunities more equal, will result in white people having less power and privilege. This is the right thing to do, of course, but it’s naive to think…

Kinja seems to have misplaced the ten thousand stars this surely must have gathered by now.

I wonder if he imagines these parents as having already forked over ~$150k for tuition (not counting undergrad), or if he thinks law grads with ~$150k in student loans would like their parents to kick in $10-20k to get a bunch of needless jammed in their squishy bits instead of bringing them several years closer to…

Damn. What do you do on Fiverr? I used that once to get a picture of myself and my boyfriend drawn as Simpsons characters. It was awesome for me, but I was faintly horrified at how cheap it was.

Toilet brush mints actually sound like something I’d like for the bathroom. Give my toilet minty-fresh breath in the morning.

You’re coming over to Wonkette, aren’t you? Or Twitter? I’m still Antigone on the former and AntigoneTheTwit on the latter now. I still think they should’ve hired you as a science writer here, but maybe it’s just as well you’re not suddenly out of work too. ;)

I’m still figuring it all out myself. I just signed up on Wonkette’s commenting system with the same name, and I signed up on Twitter as AntigoneTheTwit. Pinkham’s dragging me kicking and screaming into the 21st century here.

OK. I’m in. AntigoneTheTwit. Because Antigone was taken. Can you believe that?

I am from North America and I have no idea what “sponge toffee” is. I do tend to think of honeycomb as the whole thing, including the waxy part, but I would assume honeycomb ice cream is just honey-flavored. Maybe you’re right and it’s actually toffee-flavored. One thing everyone should be able to grok is it’s not…

Sorry to hear that! Hope you land on your feet too!

Oh look, Exhibit A replied to me!

I am blessed to have only ever worked at restaurants that closed on Thanksgiving. I’m doubly blessed to have never been alone, stranded in a strange place, or otherwise in a position to consider going out to eat on Thanksgiving. I’ve always wondered what it’s like.

I’m gonna miss having the awesome power to bring utter fucking gems like this out of the greys.

Ugh, fine, I’ll join Twitter.

This is what I’m worried about—even if Pinkham picks up elsewhere, what will become of this awesome community? What am I gonna do without Steakback Outhouse, Land of Appropriate Pastrami, and of course, Pinkham’s Law?

I thought I read that Jezebel isn’t even going to be doing much of the political stuff anymore, just celebrity gossip. Because we ladies love our gossip? Ugh. I’ve never been a fan of Wonkette, but I’ll learn.
