Your teacher sounds a bit like my chemistry teacher. If you had a question during the test, he’d literally explain the answer for you to write down. It was amazing. 

I think this lady is absolutely bonkers...

Also, they’re 1. close friends/coworkers with his wife as well and 2. the unethical nature of a boss/subordinate relationship put their brand, company, and livelihoods deeply at risk. He betrayed them all and risked their livelihoods... so he could cheat on his wife.

Yeah, even in this article it being called a “consensual workplace affair” bugs me. Like, a company owner dating a subordinate is SO unethical. No matter how much they want to bang each other initially, that dynamic is going to make it much harder for one person to leave the relationship than the other, which deeply…

It’s not an affair with a coworker, it was an affair with a direct subordinate in a tiny company where the boss having the affair also apparently took on an HR role.

I have a dog that I don’t talk about too much and is never on my social media. He’s my husband’s childhood dog. Still kicking at 17 years old, but not kicking too hard or he might dislocate his hip again. He does NOT acknowledge my existence (or our child’s existence, or our cat’s existence).

I do want to defend my husband and say that he actually does more housework than me generally, and when I was miserably pregnant he literally did 90% of the housework and cooking. He’s great at many things and I depend on him being better than me at certain tasks.

I think for me it started with beach vacations where I was changing in and out of bathing suits/underwear multiple times a day and didn’t want to put old underwear back on.

I assume anyone’s day-to-underwear ratio (while packing for a trip) is at least 4:1.

We’re on the same side of an issue and you still feel the need to talk to me like this? Why do you feel the need to insult me to make your argument? Does it make you feel smart to belittle somebody? Do you think it adds to your point?

In my opinion, that’s the real issue here. It’s irrelevant unless the only thing you want to accomplish is getting abortion bans moved from 6 weeks to 10 weeks. A better talking point—if someone wants to argue it—would be that like you said, “the heart is just a pump.”

Except in a medical context it’s called a heartbeat at that point because even medically it’s semantic to call it anything else. These specific “electrical waves” are what develops into a heartbeat, and at six weeks the thing causing these waves are heart cells that will—in just a few weeks—develop into a 4-valved…

I want to clarify, too, that I’m not saying the forced birthers are being any more truthful by making it sound like there’s a fully functioning heart at 6 weeks. I think their misrepresentation is probably more deceitful and their goals more nefarious. I also just that “the truth” is a little murkier than anyone is…

What I find so pedantic about this argument is that at six weeks, that electrical pulse is being made by parts of what eventually will become the heart. Not only that, but seeing the pulse and the pulse having a high enough rate are important signs that the pregnancy is viable and the embryo is developing.

Four months of having a baby has cost about my entire net salary ($25-30k). My husband took 6 weeks of leave, I took 12 weeks of leave (in addition to using about 8 weeks of leave non-consecutively while pregnant and disabled), and my mom retired early to help take care of my son. There’s still a large possibility…

There’s no reason both shouldn’t be happening, but I think the relationship between parent/child and parent/teacher is different and there are benefits to a child also learning from a more neutral source that they may feel more comfortable having the discussion with and asking questions of. A class with several…

In my public school in LA (not a state that excels in education) we were taught Sex Ed as part of 7th grade biology. That was in 2006.

I was SO happy they decided to do that.

It was, she needed a medical abortion because she was miscarrying and letting her body miscarry “naturally” was going to kill her.

I’m so sorry you had to go through that experience and that it has disabled you, but I’m glad you survived it and that you are sharing your story.
