Yeah. I feel that. I was just a kid when I started getting them so I also let them go way too long. Jesus.

Whenever I have a UTI, which is unfortunately often, I think to myself, “I’d rather have a yeast infection for the rest of my life than endure this UTI for one more day”.

Yeah, I’m not surprised that they would pack with me like that - what was surprising was that they knew what pregnancy was. I don’t know why really. Like nobody takes a pregnant dog aside and says, “Noucka, you are pregnant. In a few weeks babies will pop out of you.” but they know all the same so it makes sense that…

Hahaha as if there is any way at all to AVOID benefitting from white privelege. If you’re white you’re benefitting from it at all times without even realizing it. You can’t shut it off. And seriously how good would a person’s life have to be for them to turn down any advantage whatsoever? I’m white, I experience white…

Exactly. If cops stopped and frisked at shows or on college campuses the way they do in poor neighborhoods, they’d get as many arrests. The difference is, most of those kids’ parents would get them a lawyer that could beat the charge AND, those are not the kids they want to saddle with a record.

don’t worry it’ll be legal soon

I had 3 big dogs when I got pregnant and obviously my behavior towards them changed as I got bigger and more fearful of falling. I worried how the fact that I no longer did any of their walks would affect our relationship, and I also worried about them accidentally hurting the baby once it arrived. Throughout the…

I have no trouble at all wrapping my head around something like this happening BUT is there anyone reading this that knows a bit more about this couple? Is it at ALL possible that they have done this as a team in order to highlight this issue in the media? It just strikes me as odd that she has been (presumably with…

Seriously. Who cares if Monsanto loses a few pennies while they bully farmers out of business. If it doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter. Give people what they want rather than one large, historically evil company. You can’t have it both ways.

I see what you’re saying and there have been a lot of incidences of this where I’d agree with you, but he handled it so poorly and was such a hypocrite/asshole about it. When your job is in public policy, stuff like this is more important (hence all politicians pretend to be perfect family people) than when you do…

Mary Mitchell is a complete asshole and what she has done is extremely cruel and harmful, as evidenced by this woman’s words.

I can’t imagine lying about something like this, but I can pity him for trapping himself like this with what was probably, sincerely, a momentary lapse of judgment at the time - I mean whatever else it may be, it clearly wasn’t a well-considered action. That said, I don’t know the history behind this story, like,…

It’s true, he’s not a scientist. Neither am I, and even in the face of many professional assurances, I was 100% sure the air was toxic and that the first responders were sacrificing their long term health. And so was everyone else in the immediate area. Giuliani was on the ground actually acting very admirably on 9/11…

Yeah I remember the first responders having to sue. Imagine those years of suffering without support and what it did to their families. So shameful and sadly so fucking typical.

Wow re: the air filters. What a shitshow it all was. We went to brooklyn hoping to escape the fumes but it was no better. A couple days later on the news they showed the satellite image of the smoke plume blowing directly over brooklyn.

I’m with you there and agree that nothing would have stopped the rescue efforts, obviously. But I will never forget Giuliani on tv every day encouraging people to go outside and shop for days on end, that it was the patriotic thing to do. Meanwhile we were stuffing towels around our windows and wearing dust masks, as…

Yeah my job on Spring St. was wholly unaffected and still took a government handout to downtown companies, and then the billionaire boss bragged about it. But we should all feel like total scumbags for a couple hundred a month in foodstamps right?

I will never get over the fact that when I worked at Borders cafe and they crosstrained us in the bookstore, the same customers who treated me like shit every single day in the cafe, did not recognize me at all in the bookstore and treated me like I was some kind of scholar, trying to strike up conversations with me…

So according to her, women who are in business have no say who they do business with, when they do it or how they do it? Interesting.

Even if it had been the right person, this incident would be 100% as outrageous. Law enforcement does not require brutality. You can arrest someone without injuring them and you can even arrest someone without being rude to them. This man was standing still looking at his phone.
