I’m not sure the cougar speaks English.

When my mom was dying of cancer she had so many issues where doctors were just egregiously making mistakes that the hospital didn’t charge her for ANY of her treatment. They called me after she passed and said they were writing off all of her bills from the day of her diagnosis. This was a hospital that was supposedly…

“. . . doctors prescribed them to their patients to make them sicker so they and drug companies could make more money.”

Non-skinny?? If you’re going to make a point about someone being fat, why not just use that word? Is it less offensive?

Even if the Kercher family is able to realize the truth about Knox and Sollecito’s lack of involvement (which I think its crucial to them finding closure), they have to deal with the fact that the actual, verified killer is about to be released after getting a sweetheart deal from Italian prosecutors.. That’s got to…

While I agree that describing the podcast as ‘thrilling’ is a bad take, some of these investigative podcasts have done a lot of good for their subjects when it comes to trying to right the wrongs of the criminal justice system. Beyond Serial, I can point to two podcasts I’ve listened to that did or are inspiring…

For real! If Omar’s comments are anti-Semitic (which they are not), then the attacks on her are definitely Islamophobic (which, in reality, is probably what they’re rooted in).

I have to be honest. When I saw these blonde women in white t-shirts, my mind read it as White Girl Power.

there’s no excuse for this anymore, not even, not slightly, “but I didn’t know/my intentions are good!”

Look at the poor guy who had austism. Once again showing this country and the legal system doesn’t give a flying fuck about austism. It’s pathetic.

He should get a medal not a prison sentence.

Vaccines have had harmful side-effects for a small handful of people out of the millions who receive them. Just like pretty much any other medicine. The idea that this is somehow unique to vaccines and, as such, is reason to not vaccinate is absurd. If I could sue you, I would. Trust me. 

Here’s the thing about anti-vaxxers, they don’t learn how wrong they are even when faced with the reality that people die as a direct result of their stupidity. There's a family of anti-vaxxers from Canada, who decided to go on vacation in Asia, and their kid brought home measles (a really shitty souvenir that he…

The Root did a travel series a few summers ago, where the writer hit up a bunch of spots from the 1957 Green Book. All entries are tagged under The Root Trip.

Nobody said it's wrong to tell those stories. The negative reaction is to the ways in which those stories are prioritized and awarded as if they are the only stories worth telling. Get out of your feelings. 

Right, you need turmeric and coconut oil to cure cancer. Lemon juice only cures polio. Duh, everyone knows that

My wife and I are working through a trisomy 13 diagnosis right now.

When I was a kid, we adopted a husky-golden retriever mix. It was a true rescue - the poor guy was matted, malnourished, hair falling out, the works. He was an adolescent dog living in a 2 bedroom apartment with a family of 4 or 5 - I think they just thought they were getting a cute puppy, had no idea about his breed,…

My early term abortion was a welcome relief and paved the way for good things for many people (myself, my children, the father, the father’s eventual marriage and family). I’m sorry you had such a bad experience and hope you continue to get help with what you experienced.  Early abortion is not usually traumatic to…

Thank you for your story. I’m so sorry for what happened to you.
