I like a Michelle ticket... Michelle O forever.

For fucking sure. Did you read the Democracy Now transcript? It is rage inducing how ineffective CPS is. I feel like half of my husband’s clients wouldn’t be on death row if there had been early intervention during childhood. We’re failing the most vulnerable children.

Bresha’s biggest problem is going to be that she’s a child of color. Francine was lucky enough to be a white woman.

I would still argue PTSD. That sort of trauma takes its toll and when you aren’t personally in the thick of it, it’s difficult to really grasp the sense of fear and distress a victim is feeling.

If it makes you feel better (it won’t) I’ve experienced a tremendous amount of racism from both Caucasians and African-Americans since moving to Philly not to mention galling amounts of sexism from pretty much everyone all the time. And what’s even more fun is the discrimination from other Asian ethnicities. I was…

Holy shit. 15 year olds are not adults. Also, clearly this kid suffers from PTSD. Mitigating circumstances, y’all. Killing is wrong and terrible, but this child can’t be held culpable for her actions.

OMG, she would make an excellent investigator for She-Hulk!

I think the Marvel backlash comes from the fact that they have historically championed the misfit, the nerd, and the socially marginalized. That’s why I’ve loved Marvel for most of my life and I’m pretty sure that’s what makes their characters so relatable and beloved. The issues that they’ve tackled have also been…

It’ll happen? ...eventually? ....maybe?

It’s a Philly hospital! I mean, we’ve yet to deliver, but the hospital participates in our insurance plan and it is super baby-friendly and everyone we know loved their experience there. I feel like we have lucked out.

Wait...why?? How are fruits and veggies a bad thing???

I think we all know we’ll miss Michelle the most when Obama leaves office.

Oh, for sure. I mean, Philly is riddled with corruption. Local government needs a CTRL + alt + del. The city council just passed a regressive soda tax that was supposed to go towards funding pre-k, but nope. They get a pittance and the rest goes into a “general fund.”

Yes, yes, yes, to everything you’re saying. Holy crap. The answer isn’t charter schools, the answer isn’t private fucking prisons! (We have a friend who is an anti-private prison advocate and I think he’d be stoked about losing his job. There are plenty of other injustices to correct.)

This is sooooo insane to me. Our hospital doesn’t do that. Birth is birth is birth and you get paid the same rate for vaginal or cesarean births.

I totally second this!

I thought he just did the singing voice and BD Wong was the voice of the male lead.

People here can’t seem to correlate that taxes equal services. I mean, I live in Philadelphia and I totally understand why people here are reluctant to pay taxes here. Philly is corrupt as fuck. Money gets pocketed by select individuals and services fall by the wayside. However, if we just scrapped everyone…

Every pregnancy is different, so stop checking out other posts and get into the habit of relying upon the wisdom of medical professionals because fuck all of those mommy blogs and their self-entitled, holier than thou bullshit. Feel free to listen to what people have to say, but feel equally free to chuck it by the…
