She’s been on Botched. She uses a tissue expander.

First, fuck this woman—she’s not “transitioning” to black, she’s playing dress up as a minstrel show character. This is a caricature of blackness that she fosters in her own head.

I’ve had plenty of clients who can’t read. Somehow I have never needed to ask. I guess they trust me enough to tell me.

I don’t know how that attorney spoke to his client. There are ways to say things that are insulting. However, if my client smelled very badly, I would ask 1) do you have a medical issue, 2) did you just come from work that caused you to smell this way, or 3) do you have another reason. I would try to say it in the…

As someone who was raised being hit by belts and whatnot on a regular basis for any perceived infraction, I know my father went through shit in his life that “made” him think what he was doing was best.

A.) No

I live and work as a lawyer in Canada, so I don’t know what the fundamental principle of child protection legislation is in America, but here each province has its own legislation. What all of those different Acts have in common is, the fundamental principle of child welfare/protection legislation is to protect/work…

Bullshit.

I know it would never fly with politicians, but one solution is to put the entire family in care where they all learn healthy interactions while they are together. Sort of like a half-way house or something like it. That way, the parents learn how to take care of their own children and the trauma of separation is not…

But you know their response will be “don’t have sex and get pregnant” because all sex is consensual in marriage and anyway you can’t get pregnant from rape cos obviously the body rejects it?

I’m also have a hard time with this. I adopted an older child who was in the system and I’ve seen the effect this behavior has on children. I totally empathize that the parents do not want to lose their kids and the system itself can can do harm to the kids. It’s often not done out of malice but from a lack of…

THIS

It’s also fairly logical to assume that for every incident that’s reported there are many that have gone without anyone knowing.

While I was incarcerated I met many women that had come from group and foster homes and their stories were horrifying and heartbreaking. Many of them ran away to pursue a life of sex work in order to make ends meet which lead them to be “protected” by a pimp. Me, as a middle class woman, had no idea of how horrible it…

She was also an abused kid continuing the cycle of abuse, who was able to break the cycle despite the intervention not because of it.

When a young mother hits her child, obviously something has to be done. These stories are raising the question of whether their children would be better off in foster care (where there is a high likelihood of additional trauma and abuse, unfortunately) or if there is another way to handle the issue, like regular…

If we’re throwing all context out the window, well then removing a child from the only home and parents they’ve ever known is also a crime, called “kidnapping.” But how about we acknowledge the complexities of real life that the woman in fact acknowledges in her story, that all at the same time there exist some…

And yet this criminal administration would eliminate or drastically reduce women’s access to reproductive healthcare - and healthcare for children and families entirely - thereby making these problems worse and never ending.

I saw this the other day and I def think this should be the new naming strategy:

Besides being a racist shit bag, how stupid is this guy to post that on the internet? Really? I just don’t get it. If you want to talk shit, do it in private or with some drinking buddies (while making sure they aren’t recording you). They should just fire him for being stupid and not even bother with the…
