my feelings exactly—also want to say i don’t think the woman should be charged with anything.

i’m infinity percent pro choice, but once the fetus is out and if it is alive, then yeah, they should treat the baby like any other premature baby—now some parents can choose for a very ill/injured/etc baby to receive only palliative care after birth, but for whatever reason, the baby was deemed able to survive out of…

this is a big part of why we don’t see more black scientists than we already have, and why we don’t see as many at top tier schools as we should be seeing. I know when I was in high school—with great grades in AP classes and excellent test scores, i was STILL steered away from top tier schools by my teachers and…

I love this. Thank you.

he’s also not 100% white, so once they knew there was real dirt on him they were probably happy to let him fry. if it had been a real white cop, they would probably have circled the wagons for real

and only applies to white people being pulled over.

are you white? just wondering, bc i feel like, as a brown person, i would just have to comply and hope for the best (and call 911 actually, perhaps leaving the phone on as i was stopped).

yes, you put it better than i did. so true. i have a close family member with BPD and it has been a long road, the good thing is it is seeming to mellow enough with age that treatment is actually starting to help this person.

sounds like classic borderline personality disorder. it is HELL for family and close friends. even professionals often don’t want to work with people with BPD. There are some treatments that help (Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) , but the person has to be willing to get that sort of…

hey, so apparently journalistic standards dictate that on articles about suicide/threats of suicide that you end with hotline numbers. anyway, saw those standards mentioned in another article and thought gawker might could add the hotline info here since these articles tend to bring out people looking for help.

i think the really toxic, manipulative ones also have borderline personality disorder. sinead seems both delusional, depressed but also borderline in the awful way she talked about her children. you just don’t lay that on your own kids unless you have that additional issue of borderline and or extreme narcissistic…

right, what i thought was, mean as it was, uh, you just proved that maybe you need to be away from your kids for a bit. children, adults, too, find it very toxically stressful to be around someone who is “angrily suicidal.” She sounds like she may be bipolar, and obviously has major depression, but the way she called…

oh, i’m really sorry about that. be strong, take care of yourself.

don’t you mean the “latte” part?

If they put good information out there on politicians and others who hold power, then it is a good thing. No one cares if Bubba down the back road, with his Obummer bumper sticker and giant rebel flag is on a KKK membership roll-we kinda assume it. But we have every right to know which of our elected officials, public…

I never shared or liked this. Red flag to me was “already helped six women,” yeah, how do they know? Also, the idea that this would not put someone at risk was driving me nuts. Oh, domestic abusers don’t use FB, ok.

well, except catholics don;t want ANYONE to engage in those things, whereas some are saying that in TB, if one is not a TB then they can engage in that stuff at will.

if they were so worried why did they wait until the end of the day to call in the fuzz. this is awful and those teachers should quit their job s and go work for trump or cruz or one of those idiots. but i grew up dealing with texas teachers and this is no surprise. that poor kid. i hope he sues all of their asses off.

that’s a face of evil right there in blue.
