Like they said, everything seems easy To you when you’re not the one who has to do it. It’s a pretty arrogant attitude to have, really.

This was only a couple of years ago. I - mid-twenties, unemployed and suffering from serious depression - had moved back to live with my parents in the UK. I was seeing a therapist but apart from that my life was a mess and my self-esteem was through the floor.

It’s late 80s, I’m about 13 and already have a reputation for being the mouthy juvenile delinquent in the family. My older cousin is drop dead gorgeous and about 16. I haven’t seen my older cousin in a few years, but we were like sisters in our early childhood.

My aunt (her mother) pulls in with her boyfriend and my…

Also if they were just choosing for themselves, whatever, fine. What happens when they leave that rally and go visit their mom or use the elevator in my building or something?

“A rally is just exercising freedom of speech and peaceful assembly.”

It makes you feel incredibly grateful that this has happened to you and you get to have two amazing babies

Honestly, DC could very well become a state with a Democratic Senate. It would require eliminating the filibuster, but if Democrats were willing do do that they could easily pass DC statehood and if they wanted add even more. I’ve always thought 53 states made the most sense with DC and Puerto Rico being added and the…

People opposed to statehood have been ranting about “lobbyists and bureaucrats” even though most of them actually live in Virginia and Maryland.

“In other words, Wyoming is a well-rounded working-class state. A new state of Washington would not be.”

DC will not become a state because Republicans do not want a majority black state that will never vote for them. If 90% of DC had voted for Trump instead of Clinton it would have been made a state sometime in January 2017. But the same party that screeches about the tyranny of the Federal government is perfectly happy…

I had investigations and an ultrasound eleven years ago that found everything was normal. (I’ve been convinced for as long as I can remember that something was up, I qualified for a full check up because I’d had treatment that could affect my fertility). 3 further pelvic exams in the interviening time then a couple of…

What am I missing?

I get what you’re saying, but I also feel like this is yet another manifestation of how shamefully negligent modern medicine can be toward women’s health issues specifically. Like, it seems far-fetched that this woman had two prior pregnancies and—presumably—many other gyno exams without anyone noticing she had a…

It’s not up to me AT ALL to decide what’s racist and what’s not and what’s ok to let slide. What I was trying to say is that let’s let Jenna self-cancel and maybe focus 500 words on the assholes who aren’t actually reflecting on the shit they do. Hold her accountable, as it seems she’s doing to herself, but why waste…

Yeah, let’s see: Tracie Egan Morrissey used to write for Jezebel, and she dropped this bit of brilliance during an interview:

Cardi is a DEEPLY shitty person, but Jez can’t stop sniffing her farts.

If the worst thing rich people did with their money was own hobby farms, we’d be in a much better world. I’m more worried about what else Pratt throws his money at based on his religious views.

I find the contrast between the two main stories interesting: I watched the Jenna Marbles apology, and it seemed heartfelt and sincere. No “I’m sorry you were offended” b.s. She gets slammed for not having the correct keywords. Contrast that with transphobic garbage person Cardi B who’s never apologized for any of her…

SPOILER ALERT

I immediately thought of ex machina and how I yelled with glee, despite myself, when Oscar Isaac (bless that hot assed man) got (SPOILER ALERT) stabbed
