My mom had a mole removed and got a 30 pill script. Meanwhile, I have post mastectomy pain syndrome, and the doc who performed the surgery - and wrote all my post-operative scripts - won’t refuses to believe I’m still in pain.

Luckily, I have other doctors who have been willing to write me a script when I need it…

As a linguistics major (though, only undergrad, not postgrad), I can attest that my profs never actually used slurs when talking about them. It was always “the n-word.” Only exception I can remember is when a foreign student didn’t know what “the c-word” referred to.

Does it maintain VAWA? Because I know he’s been itching to get rid of that.

Incorrect? What in my comment was incorrect? I don’t work at a rape crisis center? We don’t work with victims of CSA and YSBP? My stomach didn’t roll?

Thank you. I was reading the comments, horrified at people’s reactions. Yes, the Duggars are horrible, and their real reasons for this lawsuit are bullshit. But this kind of information should have never been made public. I work at a rape crisis center, and we see tons of kiddos who are victims of sexual abuse, as…

Don’t you mean among the bushes?

A classmate of mine went missing when I was a junior in high school, and Nancy Grace covered her case. It was....weird. Watching her speculation about what had happened, if the security tape told the whole story. Pretty much all of her theories were disproven when they found her body and then her murderer, and he…

There are still four in Kansas - two in Overland Park and two in Wichita. I believe the PP in Wichita only offers medical abortion, though, not surgical.

No, there are still four. Planned Parenthood and Center for Women’s Health in Overland Park (Kansas City area) and Planned Parenthood and Trust Women South Wind Women’s Center in Wichita.

“Could you imagine,” she continued, “Having a male anchor on the network roll eyes at Hillary Clinton, at somebody — a female representative spokeswoman for President Obama or President Bill Clinton? I think not.”

Yes. ADHD in and of itself, and if you get your medication from a psychiatrist (rather than a GP), just the mere fact that you’ve seen a psychiatrist means you’re fucked.

Further compounded by the fact that most contracts mean the artist makes basically no money from actual music sales. Concerts are where the artists actually make money.

I was informed in a different thread that it was a term used/popularized by Shameless

That’s what I was figuring, but I wanted someone with far more expertise than myself to weigh in. Thanks!

Oh, I was so hoping Shade Court would be posted today, because I need a ruling.

The rape crisis center I work for had our big fundraising event of the year today. At the luncheon, the keynote speaker said “men cannot be rewarded for “locker room talk” and bragging about violating women’s bodies.” Trump was never…

Generally, polyamory is used as a catch-all term that can describe a basically infinite number of arrangements. Most people I know would consider this triad (the typical term for a three-person arrangement, I have no idea where “throuple” came from) to be polyamorous.

It’s not uneducated and it’s not poor English. AAVE is highly structured and has complex grammatical rules, just like all languages and dialects. That fact that you can’t grasp that says far more about your education that it does the people speaking it. And most speakers of AAVE are able to easily codeswitch and speak…

My sister was born on October 3rd. I was born on Dec 26, and I used to joke that she was my “birthday present.” My mom has always quickly pointed out that she definitely wasn’t, because they were switching insurance at the beginning of the year, and pregnancy was a pre-existing condition, so they definitely waited…

I have a gene mutation that gives me a 70-80% chance of stomach cancer. I’m fucked.

I would ask him what kind of “good life” I need to live to not have endometriosis, but I’m pretty sure he thinks it’s directly caused by my feminism. If only I were a proper woman, then my uterus wouldn’t hate me!
