I am routinely annoyed that the conversation about livestock is always framed as “bleeding heart vegan hippies want us to pamper the cows” instead of “every medical professional agrees we are creating our own worst diseases by injecting our food with these drugs.”

I just wanted to make a thrush joke

This is what pisses me off so much about these laws that force doctors to lie to their patients. People trust doctors. People look to doctors to help guide them in what’s best when they are faced with difficult decisions and life-changing diagnoses. It is such a huge violation of that trust to purposefully lie and…

Spot on. And this...

Several years ago, I worked for an old guy who would occasionally take me into his confidence on some pretty personal things. When I became pregnant for the first time, he was very concerned that everything was “all right”. I assured him that it seemed to be. He then quietly told me about his wife’s first pregnancy,…

The Republicans, via the Heritage Foundation, want to remove all disabled children from SSI to pay for drumphf’s military expansion. So these children will have no means of support,(as the parents may not be able to work in order to care for the child), no Medicaid, (no SSI means no Medicaid), no food, (as that is the…

I’m so glad you are covering this. I’ve been fuming about since I read about it earlier this week.

Fo’ reals. Like maybe if someone chooses to have a baby who they know will likely have downs syndrome, they might decide to spend a bit less money on a custom wall stencil, giant teddy bear, 67 piece stroller, etc and put a bit more aside for future healthcare needs.

And it’s always the war-criminal/welfare-for-the-richest-1% Repubs screaming about Big Guvmint interfering with people’s lives....

Why stop there? You might as well as skip telling mothers that smoking, alcohol, and drugs cause birth defects.

OH. MY. FUCK.

Not only would this prevent women from having the choice to abort, it robs a woman who would choose not to abort from preparing herself to have a child with a disability, who may not even survive birth. This is disgusting on all fronts.

It’s only a problem until you realize that Texas has reclassified women as property rather than individuals.

Check out the documentary Cowspiracy. I was never swayed by any of the arguments for being a vegetarian until I saw it.

Can confirm dairies are weird. Went to one in 5 th grade (Wisco) and a cow or cows splattered piss and shit on my acid washed jeans.

Yep. My husband is a profit-seeking oilman but the bane of his existence is those EPA methane regulations in California

I will never understand the controversy over calling the non-dairy dairy replacements “milk”. Milk in this case is not a literal description, but instead a word that connotes the taste, texture, and uses of the beverage in a succinct way. We all know it didn’t actually come from an udder, we’re not confused, and we’re…

Teresa can now tell her daughter Melania you can be a president’s wife someday. SMH.

The irony of her reading Dr. Seuss.
