That Buzzfeed piece itself ended up pretty positive overall. My take was, he went in a bit gung-ho, a few people suffered (never acceptable, but, no policy is perfect), Buttigieg learned from mistakes and made improvements. In all honesty, it was that “negative” buzzfeed piece that gave me the thing that I like about…

I need to be able to give more stars to this!  

Let’s also not forget that as the rates of autism have increased, the rates of other categories (as tracked by IDEA) have decreased proportionally.

I was a super (self?) shamed, militant breastfeeder. I cried and cried over my struggles. I fought through supply issues, sensory issues for my son, latching issues, him being tongue-tied, him biting the living shit out of my nipples and breaking skin when he had teeth, and being unable to pump. I developed deep…

Don’t knock Arkansas! They aren’t all shitbags there, and Fayetteville is super lovely. They are just unfairly manipulated by the Repugs with their “Southern Strategy” for the most part.  

They already said last year that she was leaving this year. I’d cheer for sure if I wasn’t so nervous about who’d possibly be next. The plus side, I likely won’t be seeing her as much on tv and in the news.

I agree with you. I had the luxury of being a stay at home mom when I had my beastie, but I would have been devastated to not have paid leave had I had to work. I agree with take the compromise you can that moves us forward. Then that becomes the new norm to argue from. All or nothing in politics usually means…

They were doing cartwheels because they just broke a world record +1.  I’d be launching fireworks myself.

Expcept that it broke and added +1 to a world record. Ya, nothing to celebrate there.

I just want to say how epic this post could have been if instead of dick you used “Johnson” for every mention of a penis.  Does Johnson’s johnson, need a Jonhson (tm) jonhson towel? I totally would buy one if he branded it a Johnson johnson towel, btw.  That would be lolz for life.

I do believe that it would be insulting to another pro-team to go light on them or call the game insinuating that they can’t hack it. Remaining at the top of your game is better sportsmanship when you’re dealing with world-class athletes.

Well, the chadaree was only compulsive by the Taliban in Afghanistan, and a tiny fraction of Islam, for a small period of time, compared to numerous centuries that the garment has been worn for various reasons. The point is, there are many women who do choose to wear any form of veiling for various cultural and…

This was actually addressed during the hearing. It’s not the entire committee that was holding the hearing, but a subcommittee (Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties, and all of the Democrats on the committee were there.

Please tell me that this article is sarcasm? Have you even examined what he did as mayor in a decent sized Rust Belt City?

That’s probable that it was a status symbol, my old lady memory may have misremembered. I found this, it seems well-cited. https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Burqa

I guess others in general? I mean we’re talking about pre-7th century here. To be honest, not sure I ever read more than that back when I researched it in 2001.

What a flashback, I actually owned this exact chadaree. My x-husband thought it would be a great gift for me the first time he went to the Middle East. We are white. But, despite what the Taliban did to the Chadaree by making it compulsive, its use predates Islam and was worn as a mark of respect.

Ok, that just pisses me off that your friends went to this just for Donnie. Do no harm in your fandom, means not buying tickets to a conference that promotes not only financial harm to desperate parents but physical harm to vulnerable kids with the rampant pseudoscience peddled there.

I’m an autism mom, not to be confused with a “warrior mom.” I don’t love my son enough to scour the internet for the next hot thing some lady in Mexico (or India, I’m looking at you Rapid Prompting) has claimed will erase my son’s obviously offensive personality. I don’t get up every 3 hours all night to remove those…

Beto struck out with me this week over his call for term-limits. The one for Supreme Court I don’t have an opinion on yet until I research it more, but the one for Senate was the killing blow. Being a disability rights advocate in Michigan, working directly with legislators, and this state having term-limits for…
