I’m so sick of being called “greedy, entitled, looking for handouts” because I want what every other civilized country has.

‘Fargo’ is a great movie in a lot of ways but to me there’s one unsung way in which it should be respected: It’s the only movie I can think of in which a main character is pregnant through most of the movie and does not give birth. No adorable infant crying, no new beginnings, no deaths balanced by new life. Marge…

People, please start believing that health care IS the miracle God sent you.

Accurate. I made more working in retail than I did as a preschool teacher.

Maybe she also is modelling Trump Brand (TM) Bronzer?

As a fellow pregnant-American, I get it. I burst into tears yesterday when I burned a grilled cheese sandwich. Food is non-negotiable.

Subaru-driving Massachusetts feminist here, wearing a Lands End dress AS WE SPEAK.

Actually, in my experience, a lot of their customers are exactly the type of Subaru-driving Vermont types that would be MOST offended by this cowardly anti-feminist move.

And you don’t seem to understand, “the kind of women who buy this ugly shit” are talking to you, here, and are actually engaged in women’s rights activism. But whatever. You’re so fucking cool!

I don’t care if you like their clothes but saying that people who wear those clothes HATE THEMSELVES is shitty and antifeminist. Don’t judge women by what they wear.

The hell? Where do you shop, the Paris runway?

I have a ton of their clothes because they’re well made, last forever, fit well, and are appropriate for work. I don’t hate myself. I do have a job that requires me to have a reasonable business casual wardrobe and I don’t want to spend my life hunting down khakis and cardigans, especially when I can just order a new…

Equal and opposite reaction time folks:

Thank you so much for sharing your story.

Thanks! We’re pretty stoked, and hopeful that it “takes.” Stick around and wreck my heartbeat, lil’ chickpea.

Why? The birth canal has beneficial bacteria that helps build a baby’s immune system and microbiome. It is known that babies born vaginally have a larger microbiome than babies born via c-section. We know that good bacteria and varied microbiome are associated with positive health outcomes, including strong immune…

yeah.. as someone who required the surgical removal of babybunnybunny three years ago, i begged the supervising OB to do this. he balked of course.

little did they know, i just didn’t bathe the kid for three months. boom!

Unlike many (many many many) birthing trends, I’m actually cool with this one. I mean, I get being squicked out, but the idea has some solid merit. Most babies pass through the vagina and get well and truly rubbed in its juices during the birthing process; that’s not gross, right? Why is this? Colonization by the…

good grief get over yourself and your magical foreskin.

A line I heard on NPR this morning, from a (dead serious) New Hampshire woman describing how they differ from Vermont denizens:
