Omg my sweet little Italian greyhound was the best sleeping partner ever. She slept all night under the covers, head on the pillow in the crook of my arm. I still haven’t slept well since she’s been gone. Sometimes my kitten will sleep on my pillow and purr next to my head- that is the next best thing to a cuddly dog. 

Anecdotally, in the last sixish months since throwing my cheating husband out of the house and getting a puppy, this is absolutely 1000% true.

I have an 18 lb mutt of a doggie who is sweet and so quiet. She curls up next to me and is a warm little ball against my back or my hip while I sleep. She doesn’t whine or move around a lot and the worst she does is twitch a little in her sleep. I sleep way better with her in the bed than I did without her a few…

I have ZERO issue farting in front of my boyfriend or my dogs (I don’t have a cat but if I did I would fart in front of them too, and probably with more glee because cats deserve it). I 100% sleep better when human partner is out of town and its just the dogs in bed with me. They all snore, but human partner…

My dog has never once woken my exhausted ass up out of a dead sleep by “accidentally” rubbing his morning wood on my back in a selfish attempt to get laid.

It’s been 6 years since I was in a relationship, and it’s been 12 years since my divorce...the memory of how frequently they ALL try that shit still pisses me off.…

If you haven’t watched the 60 minutes segment on this, I highly recommend it. These companies were ruthless and willfully flouted all sorts of laws like sourcing the plastic from China and rewrapping the packaging to say it was from somewhere else.

TBF,

Johnson & Johnson has a pathological history of unethical and illegal behavior. From their consumer side (Baby Powder linked to cancer) to pharmaceutical (Risperdal 31 child deaths) to medical devices (mesh, hips and spine) injury and deaths with billions and billions in fines and yet CEO Alex Gorsky evades prison.

Yes, if Orange Foolius’ name wasn’t the same as the name attached to all the terrible shit he’s said and done and thought, then people wouldn’t have such a low opinion of him. That’s how reputations work-if Bernie Madoff’s name was no longer Bernie Madoff, then people wouldn’t think of The Person Formerly Known as…

One pretty important detail is that vaginal meshes were upgraded (in 2011 or 2012 I think?) by the FDA from Class II to Class III medical devices. Class II are things like wheelchairs, pregnancy tests, etc. so testing requirements are minimal. Class III are the most strictly regulated. The Gynemesh (made by Ethicon, a…

To be clear, the police department had access to this video for more than a year.

TAX THE CHURCH(es)!

No, those exact words don’t appear in the constitution, but they don’t have to. This country was the first (I think—maybe one of the first?) to not be created as a theocracy. The first amendment and article six of the constitution make it pretty clear that we aren’t supposed to be letting religion run the country.…

This is the kind of leadership we need. And she keeps bringing it. I am grateful for Stacey Abrams.

Nothing like Christians to really show everyone what the word hate is all about.

Screw them. I have seen it and it is not just Catholic but also Baptist, and I am sure there are more. This abuse of power to “stop care” they don’t like and to use their size and relationships to even control what people who may work there can do outside is very dangerous. How am I to trust a doctor who is…

Don’t forget beating babies and children and throwing those bodies in mass graves.

As a rabidly pro-choice RN working in the OB/GYN world, I genuinely believe helping my patients access a full spectrum of care is my religion. Sadly the only litigious religious organization on this front is the Satanic Temple. I joined them years ago to protect myself should my Catholic employer fire or otherwise…

So no abortions after-hours, but raping children in church is cool? Ok.

This is bullshit. Separation of church and state needs to not be such a joke.
