Air quality is another significant factor.

Trolls are out in force already. Get your "dismiss" finger ready. 

I’m interested in seeing what effect low birth weight has on lead poisoning levels.  Just another example of structural racism on top of structural racism...

That there’s a sample size large enough to do a study like this in the first place is fucked beyond words

ugh Derulo please just shut up about your penis.

I don’t know to whose boner are you referring, but it’s accurate nonetheless.

Thank you so much for reading and your kind response.

No one cares about your boner

I couldn’t read this word for word, because I kept tearing up at my desk, so I skipped over those parts. I lost my mom three years ago, to COPD and congestive heart failure. I haven’t mourned her death so much as I’ve mourned the relationship I thought we might someday have. She, like your mom, was a complex person,…

It was hard to write but I’m glad you got something from it. Thank you for reading!

I disagree about mention of Wainwright—I don’t think she needed to be mentioned here any more than she was. I am firmly in the camp of the married party being the one who bears the brunt of the responsibility, and the issue at hand is how he acted.

I don’t think they had bad intentions, necessarily, but she has no self control and her struggle has been private because she “doesn’t believe in” group or even individual therapy and “doesn’t want to be a burden.” Yes, it’s…

This is the first Thanksgiving since my divorce in the spring and y’all. No more Trump loving in-laws. No more sneaking back next door to door from a flask while I check on the dog. No more being forced to think through Black Friday catalogs.

White person: “you blacks are violent and the real racists”.

I like when racists ask the question:

Bitch, that an’t cruelty. It’s the smoke. It’s ALL THE SMOKE she asked for by calling the cops on a fellow student who was simply catching a quick nap, who happened to be black, the same color of skin that she claims she regularly steps out to ‘help’ while at the same time stroking her ego publicly over how good of an…
