I just watch the “No, Mommy! No, Mommy, no!” part over and over again.

I can not stand the fake explanations parents give for conception. One coworker told me about how they told her 4 year old that mom and dad went to the bean store and picked out the most perfect bean and she swallowed it and now it’s growing into a baby in her tummy.

“had no behavioral problems in the 30 years he has been in prison.”

I highly recommend clicking on the link and reading the New Yorker article. It’s long, but very detailed and well written. And fills in all the gaps that this article did not address.

Read the longer New Yorker article. They did the testing. It was too degraded to get a match, it was inconclusive.

It's in the New Yorker story. Short version is that the DNA samples weren't helpful.

“could retain control of her own money”

Seriously. I do not understand it.

I just...I just can’t picture anything but a cat in a dress sauntering into UO with a little purse in it’s mouth. In my mind, you’re actually a black cat with white socks.

The Theory rack at Nordstrom Rack. My all time, go-to most versatile LBD is Theory found at NR. It’s a well-made multi-functional sleeveless black sheath. I’ve worn it to work, to weddings, to funerals, to client meetings, out dancing, etc. It was perhaps a bit higher price point than you might be looking for (I think…

SO helpful! Thanks so much for all the recommendations!

It’s really sad. I used to dream about owning their clothes. I was so often priced out of them but I’d stalk their sale section like it was my job and I managed to buy a few really beautiful pieces I love. Party dresses, nifty shoes, funky clutches and a stunning duvet on my bed that I was able to snag for $69 and I…

They used to have beautiful, well made and unique garments. Stunning, interesting dresses (I have one I’ve told my family they should just fucking bury me in, I love it that much), fun and funky accessories, wonderful and whimsical homegoods. They completely lost their way and now have cheaply made, awkwardly sized…

I agree. I think it’s great that she was willing to share this experience.the strange, secretive nature of the process really makes it difficult for a person to navigate their way through it, at every level (administrative, psychological, physical, etc.). I have had a few abortion experiences in my life. One myself…

Madewell, ironically.

“I am with you in that I am TERRIFIED of the devil (I feel like all people raised Catholic are even if they are no longer religious?)“

They do not worship Satan. They do not worship Lucifer. They do not worship themselves. They do not worship. These folks are not the shadowy cabal of Crowleyesque mystics you are imagining.

They don’t worship Satan. If you google their tenets, they highly value bodily autonomy, compassion, and science. Which is why they’re fighting for religious and personal rights.

In general, the members of the Satanic Temple are not satanists and do not worship lucifer. They're mostly Athiests who are trying to make a point about Christianity bleeding into government.

I’m pretttttttyyy sure women seeking abortions know about the responsibilities of parenthood, which is in large part why they want abortions. Way to treat women like ignorant thoughtless children, Michigan.
