This. What do we do? Is there anything to do? Who do we call? who is working on this?

Just because you think birth trauma can exist isn’t the same as saying all hospital births are traumatic. I don’t think most midwives say that. LOTS of midwives actually work in hospitals and work with OBs. I had a midwife birth in a hospital with an assist from an OB. Tons of people do.

I think discounting the idea of birth trauma because midwives acknowledge it is kind of bullshit. Not every C section can be avoided, but there are many that can that happen for the wrong reason, and even when it’s necessary, women can be treated very badly in the lead-up to that - not all C section experiences are…

I am truly sorry for her loss and I am certain just about everyone else here is, too. I can’t imagine what it’s like to lose your husband and the father of your kids - her pain must be unfathomably deep.

Oh, my god, this pissed me off so so much - I was screaming at the radio. Just, (a) you of all people cannot speak with authority on what’s happening in Heaven, and (b) if the dead soldier is indeed experiencing feelings about your exploitative speech, maybe his #1 feeling might be feeling SAD ABOUT BEING DEAD BECAUSE…

if you refresh the page that stops. The total goes down if you unstar and then looks like it goes down if you try to restar but really you’re just toggling your one possible star on and off and the browser is acting funny.

Boy people sure do have a funny way of expressing their economic insecurity.

naw, you have to throw in a tuft of bottle-blond wig, some cold-war Bond villain’s lackeys and a couple of walking liver spots too. Together with the orange man-babies that should about do it.

I think you’re right. We watched the WHCD the next morning, now that I think of it, which is probably why I have such a visceral memory of how Barack was so delightfully trolly as hell in his remarks, knowing in retrospect that underneath the cockiness was likely a healthy dose of I JUST KILLED BIN LADEN SO IN…

HELLO HANDSOME DEVIL. I am dying over the nickname Special Ed. He is a gorgeous little rake but he does look like he has more than enough capacity to be a devious little monkey.

ohhh hi clever lil fuzzbutt. I love the dumb cats too, but I really love the ones who show adorable little glimmers of criminal genius.

oh my god I wish you could. It’s so tasty!

I love this story. What on earth did he want that sugar for? Cats can’t even taste sweetness!! Kittens are so gloriously weird.

This. I’m pretty sure I would die of alcohol poisoning before I got so drunk I blamed everything on the Jews... because I’m not an anti-semite. If you get drunk and then spout off like a drunk sexist anti-Semitic fuckwit, you can only blame alcohol for one of those conditions. The other three were there long before…

Pie is actually usually the well-behaved one - he’s far too fat and timid and shy to initiate most trouble. Pancake, on the other hand, is our diabolical mastermind/tiny asshole god of destruction. I think we had him home an hour before my husband and I turned to each other and said “this cat is for sure going to…

I want to say that the news had just come in? I can’t remember now but I swear they had JUST announced it.

I love this! I want to put Bannon in there too though. Maybe “Miller and Bannon/don’t have ‘em/at all. ” Now my head is singing the Hitler version incessantly

My husband was a CAKE HERO TODAY PEOPLE. A goddamn hero. And I’m about to lay into the delicious fruits of his labor.

Hey so my 9 month old diabolical kitten Pancake figured out how to jimmy open the cabinet where I hide the giant 2 lb Costco bag of kitty treats, and his portly brother Pie, being the type to eat his feelings, dragged it under the bed and secretly had his way with the entire thing. Ten loads of laundry and one $170…

I’m terrible at recognizing shade so unless someone literally says “I don’t know her” I assume Not Shade. Safer that way and if we all did it poor Kara’s blood pressure would stay low.
