Because I was bartender and server through college, I saw lots of really gross things. However, there is one that takes the cake.

Amazon at least has been deleting price gouging listings.  But I sat in disbelief yesterday when I heard a public health official (and I forgot who it was) say that we shouldn’t price control during epidemics because it can cause hoarding like this.  So instead, we should let the rich spread out the price gouged ones,…

From what I heard in an interview with HRC the part of her marriage and the scandal was done, because a) it’s a huge part of her life, and b) there was a large number of vocal women who chose to shame her/refuse to vote for her because she stayed in her marriage.

On one of the local radio shows today, one person said it best. That some folks just want to get to the center, return to normal governance and breathe after being on the Trump Trainwreck (mimiparaphrase.) That the time isn’t right for big change. I may not agree, but I can definitely see the appeal. It does sound…

Ashley...now I feel shamed. Just hours ago, I had finally decided to post on The Root (a space I as a rule try not to invade with my whiteness as it’s not for me.)

I agree with one exception, ruling from the middle is not what we need now. It’s all we can expect if we wish for anything to get done, period. There’s this half of the country who thinks exactly the opposite of us, and we’re a democracy, so we have to work with them.

First of all, I’m nervous about this post, because as one of those college educated white women in yoga pants (but fleece vests are gross) I consider this space for black people without my interjections, safe from me, well- intentioned that I am, but there’s much I just don’t get, and ya’ll don’t need my words.

It is still ableist if the sole factor for an abortion is disability. Just like it would be racist if your sole reason for an abortion is because your partner was a visible minority and life in America arguably sucks for minorities.

It’s a big stretch for them to be decent to these pregnant women. How many likely had sex outside of marriage!! The poor morals these good women have to encounter for doing God’s work. Being surrounded by all these sinners. Let us pray.

Oh, and ageism, I wasn’t too clear in that rambling sentence.  I meant it could be ageist because more older woman may abort because of the fetus having a disability, but I put that back on ableism.

I was thinking in terms of the fetus, babies aren’t being aborted because they are black, per se, but they may be aborted because they have down’s syndrome for example. But ya, some aspects touch on the parents as well. This is true for ableism and racism, and the biggest reason is money damn money, which impacts…

Abortion can be ableist, but doesn’t default to being so. The sexist, ageist, and racist bits I’m having a hard time seeing at all, Other than China, I haven’t seen any information on women aborting because of having a certain gender in their uteruses. Ageist? Because of geriatric pregnancies, well that could be the…

1999. My 23rd birthday. My best friend and I decide to go to a club that we didn’t usually frequent because of some reason I’ve forgotten. We had planned on dancing, but upon arrival at this 18 and up club, even at 23 we felt old based on how they were dancing and grabbed a table and some drinks to laugh at the…

I think we need pictures of your loveliness in those flattering pants!

Off topic, but on topic.

Oh dear god...I had that exact denim vest in 94.  Hipsters are not so cool as that.

Ahh..shit happens.  As a fellow writer, we are our own worst editors.  I can definitely one up this one.  So in the course of my degree in public policy, I wrote many, many papers.  At one point during my education, I even had a very long, very detailed paper where I used pubic in every place of public.  At least it…

Ya. Bill Nye said it best.

That is surprising that it’s so vanilla then! It’s like the wild west of FF there. Archive is one I usually skip because of stumbling onto too many rape to romance stories. While I can condone kink, enjoy some that flip my switch, real abuse not so much in a romance.
