I have an an instagram for nail art. I similarly cannot understand the people who photoshop/facetune their hand skin until it looks like a mannequin hand with the RuPaul Drag Race season one filter. Uh, no one is looking at your knuckle crease that literally every human body has?? I’m here for the #holo

I wonder where the screenplay will be plagiarized from.

I play a stupid ap online that involves having teams and fighting wars and has a social aspect. There is also an in game chat system. I have never witnessed such a level of drama as I have playing this game in the chat. People take this shit seriously and I love the drama of it all. 

Allison Janney’s going to play her in the movie version, I guarantee it.  

Oh, yeah, the plagiarism detector caught it straight away... but I’d have been on it anyway: the shift in tone and quality stood out like a sore thumb. What the detector does do is make it very easy to show the student exactly where they stole something from when the inevitable tense meeting happens shortly after they…

Gold. Did you use one of the online plagiarism-detectors to identify the source or was this before those were invented? I especially don’t know how students today could possibly think they’d get away with this kind of thing.

I remember one of my student's essays..most of it was barely coherent, semiliterate waffle except for one lengthy passage that was clear, concise and well researched. She was cunning though: she made sure to lift that section in its entirety from a professor at this obscure, backwater university called..um..Cambridge?

Merchants of Truth? Is it some kind of sequel?

Is there something with you people that the word “women” is so difficult to say? Does it have some icky connotation so you have to use terminology more commonly used to denote an animal’s gender?

I’ve had two abortions: one where I chose to end the pregnancy, and one where the fetus stopped developing and had no heartbeat, but my body didn’t naturally complete the miscarriage. I am extremely lucky that both times, I was treated with respect and empathy. I wish this was true for every woman going through these…

The thing that always, always, always baffles me is the fact that anti-choice people don’t stop to consider that a woman who decides to go through a late-stage abortion is a woman who wanted her baby. She may have struggled with her health, and a difficult pregnancy, and fought and hoped and prayed that she and the…

My sympathies. My wife had to have the same procedure several years ago. It was very hard on her both physically and mentally. I wish you the best on your future pregnancy endeavors.

My mother had to abort what would have been my baby sister for similar reasons. She had severely deformed internal organs, and a large cyst that destroyed most of her brain. Carrying her to term would have been unspeakably cruel for everyone involved. My parents’ dream of adding a sweet little girl alongside their…

How anyone is fooled by conservative rhetoric baffles me. To actually believe that someone is callously killing babies moments before birth, you have to believe that a woman actively wanted to experience nine months of discomfort and anticipation but then... changed their mind on a whim?

To suggest women get these abortions frivolously is just stupidity. It’s like saying that some people get root canals for shits and giggles.

What you’re doing is essentially wondering what safeguards are in place to prevent a woman from aborting, late in her pregnancy, a perfectly viable fetus when there is no apparent danger to her health. The safeguard is “doctors” and that no medical doctor will perform an abortion in this case. The other safeguard is…

The procedure that would be followed would differ by provider and hospital. There’s a case in the documentary ‘After Tiller’ that exemplifies this - a french woman with a healthy 35 wk pregnancy requests an abortion and the provider refuses to do it because it’s not safe. There is a ‘point of no return’ of sorts, but…

“However, one of the things that I struggle to explain to even my more liberal friends is the procedure that would be followed if a woman with a viable fetus were to seek an abortion for non-medical reasons (“just because”).”

I had an abortion at 15 weeks to remove my already dead fetus. Although it was simple and quick the process, quite frankly, sucked. It hurt, I felt sick and sore for a couple of days afterwards.

Unfortunately there is no amount of sane, rational articles from professionals that will ever, ever, change the minds of anti-choice folks. I give up. They willfully ignore all information that is actually fact-based and informative. Just like they do with so many other subjects. I say time and time again on here how…
