Well, if a woman is pretty far along when she miscarries, then she may need to seek medical care because she is bleeding profusely, or there is dead tissue festering inside her. So at that point she’d have to decide between getting medical help and being accused of trying to abort, or staying in hiding and risking her…

Are you left handed? Do you have limited range of motion in your shoulders?  Do your bras all have 5-6 hooks?  All of these together make it pretty damn hard to hook something correctly without stretching my band way out.

They don’t make front-close bras in my size.  Well, I’ve found two in the last ten years, but they were both sports bras that gave me uni-boob.

Yup! Most of my skirts with a zipper also have a hook or a button at top. I am left handed, so buttons and hooks are not put in the right direction for it to be easy for me. But more importantly, I’m not bendy enough to be able to do a button or hook behind my back. I mean, I could do it I guess, but it would take a…

Good point - I’m left handed too! Didn’t even think about the fact that bras were made for righties, like everything else in the world!

I agree - I used to wear front closure bras as a teen and loved them!

Yeah, I was thinking this too. My bras all have 4 or 5 hooks on them, there is no way I can do all of those correctly without looking.

EShakti!!!  You pick out a dress, then for about ten bucks extra, you can customize it to whatever type of sleeve, neckline, and hemlength you want.  You can also order made to your exact measurements.  The only hitch is that you have to wait a while for it to arrive, since they make it to order, but it’s well worth…

Plus, 40% of the military are not white. I have a hard time believing that many of those troops are big fans of Trump.

Thank you for your dedication to your students, and for fighting the good fight.

This is why I was a dork. As a girl with a big bosom and a high waist, I have always looked ridiculous with anything tucked in, so I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I was so relieved when grunge became a thing and I could steal my dad’s flannel shirts and go around untucked.

Yup. I work at an architectural salvage nonprofit in the mid-Atlantic, and we are starting to do a good business in selling colorful toilets and sinks and tubs on our eBay site. Where are we shipping all these pink, blue, seafoam, and lemon bathroom fixtures? To Brooklyn and LA, of course. Everyone now has a…

Seconding reboundstudent! Where else do you comment on old house stuff?  Because I’d follow you over there!

This is sweet and wonderful - thank you for sharing!

Wow! That was really smart!!

As a white woman who has lived most of my adult life in Prince George’s County, I go to talks at the African American museum, I go to the poetry readings and social justice panels at Busboys, I eat in small businesses owned by black women, I volunteer on local political campaigns, I go to art openings, concerts, black…

Can we talk about how brave Jaiden Palmer was to film instead of running away? When I was a teenager, I wouldn’t have had the guts to do that!

I love that they made this point so well: “The first-hand accounts of the four victims are evidence, both legally and morally...”
