I’m sorry that happened to you and your kid. Tell your story to the writers here. The stories reported here are just not clear cut. I believe you and stories like your need to be told. It’s just troubling that the stories they have feature so far are not convincing.   

I know I’m meant to be horrified by this government overreach, but sofar I haven’t read a story in which I would want the officials to act substantially differently. Could they be nicer? Sure. But do you really want an official investigating a baby with an unexplainable skull fracture to drop it? “Oh well! This 7…

Hollywood. They can’t hire older actresses. And they lucked out getting a relatively know older actor. But who the fuck is going to watch this? Not me.

The truth is that every one of these celebrity books is probably written by a mid-list children’s writer who needed some cash.

Wow, I just binge read a bunch of columns and I’m in love. She’s brilliant! Just ordered the book. Thank you for featuring her.

Why does it not shock me that this is a movie about a woman’s sexual trauma based on a novel by a man with male screenwriters and a male director?Hmm...reminds me of when I was asked to give “a woman’s perspective” (not, you know, a writer’s perspective) on a movie about a teen girl’s relationship with her dead mom…

I don’t know why more people don’t go this route. The happiest person I know from my old grad program got an extremely cushy position at a private hs in her favorite city. All the faculty there now have PhDs from top universities. Pay is comparable (or better) than most college positions, they get summers off, and…

Yeah, a friend of mine took an extremely lucrative and satisfying industry research position because he had student loans and 3 young kids he needed to support rather than work years as a low-paid postdoc with no guarantee of a tenure track job at the end. His advisor was so angry, he refused to speak to him ever…

One thing tenure track professors can do to combat this problem is to be bluntly honest with graduate students what their job prospects are and not shame them when they (inevitably) can’t get a tenure track job. It’s a problem that once you get into academia, the culture tells you that not getting a research…

That’s terrible! That’s pretty rare behavior for an Aussie. They are usually pretty gentle dogs - they have to be since they are bred to take care of animals. Maybe it was abused or has a neurological problem. Certainly should be banned from the park! I know not all pit bulls have issues, but I happen to have a…

I’ve heard this same story from multiple sources. I hope William is grateful that Kate was willing to marry him and make this her career. She really dedicated herself to it. Girl has never had a job. He could never have found a comparably attractive and dedicated woman to be a full time Duchess/Princess/Queen.

When a certain kind of woman calls you “honey” you’d better examine your body for wounds. Ouch.

Thank you for your perspective. I generally don’t let my dog play in parks where there are pit bulls. I have heard too many stories of pits who suddenly attacked innocent dogs in a crowded dog park. I think there must be a biological thing. They can be lovely sweet dogs, but they have some programming to attack…

I love this picture! I have the same relationship with my rescue dog who is a lab/unknown mix. I had no idea that I could love an animal this much! She is my everything. Good on you for rescuing a dog!

That is a super cute puppy!

Ivanka will be the last Trump standing. Her dad, husband, siblings (except Tiffany) will go down. She will be our plastic, smiling overlord.

Run, Meghan! Run!!

Well, anytime prior to 1600 was probably okay for black people. They were engaged in intense tribal warfare and slave trade, but at least it wasn’t the triangle slave trade and there was a possibility of freedom for your children. There were probably many generations of happy people in Africa before colonization.

Hell, I’m an adult and I’m not past the spillage stage.

My first thought was what a pain in the ass to maintain that large of a property when they will probably only be there for a few days a year. Most of the people I know who buy a vacation home regret it. You have to spend all your vacation time fixing things and you can’t go anywhere else. Then I remembered that they…
