pouring our money into addiction recovery is a lot more functional than going for maximum incarceration

She was being prescribed methadone right? Did her doctor ensure she was supervised or was assisted in reducing the harm to her and her child? What are her doctor’s responibilities here? Was she actually offered a cost effective program to help her ensure she had assistance balancing the independently overwhelming tasks…

But we also make it difficult for low income women to obtain birth control so that they don’t have unintended pregnancies.  And TRAP laws make it difficult to end unwanted pregnancies.  So this is what happens.  Women who are not in any position to care for babies end up having pregnancies forced on them and then we…

I worked as a nurse in a locked psych facility. One of my NAC’s lost a baby this way. She was not prosecuted because I don’t live in a shit state, apparently. She was just gutted over it, because she had no education in her life that had ever led her to be able to understand how the biology of all this works. She…

Oh my god.

I won’t hold my breath for the father of this child to be questioned on HIS whereabouts and why he wasn’t being responsible in the raising of his own child. 

I just feel sorry for everyone. I am lucky to have been to jail for a few minor things (breaking apartment lease, not going to court = court of contempt and they WILL issue warrant for your 18-year-old broke ass!) and to have met women who have lost babies to drugs. I no longer have any anger or judgment, it’s all…

This is the point I have to make over and over again to people, and by people I mean men, if you want to send a dirty picture, why not ask first? I usually am pretty interested in seeing your dick, and if you ask, I’ll probably say yes. If someone says “no thanks” maybe you can still come back from that. There’s no…

If you send unsolicited genitalia pictures to someone than I see nothing wrong with them sharing that picture and mocking the poor composition/lighting/cropping/etc. Don’t fucking send pictures of your genitalia to anyone without express permission.

This is why Lean In bugged me. It was a guide to begging, negotiating, and cajoling men into being decent human beings. Don’t forget to smile the whole time you’re asking for equal pay or a clean load of laundry!

“When you’re young, you don’t question. When you’re young, you’re like, ‘I gotta be tough. I gotta be, like, down to really perform, and if that means they need me to go this extra mile [I will]…’ People take advantage of that. People have always taken advantage of that.”

Tory Birch comes from a “wealthy investor” father, and Meg Whitman was born and raised in a wealthy part of New York state, to a father who ran a financial advisory firm. So they were at least very upper class, if not multi-millionaires.

Oprah is absolutely the definition of self-made. 

Not only was she born into wealth, she was born to someone who was an incredibly successful businesswoman, with parents and siblings with a shit ton of connections to the business, fashion, and beauty world. Literally everything she needed in order to make her business a success, she had. What would be incredible…

What’s the quickest way to make a million bucks? Start with two. 

I don’t know about the other women, but Oprah was born into a dirt-poor family.

Isn’t it funny how Step #1 in all of these success stories is to be born to wealthy parents? You’d almost think that was an advantage or something. 

Hey Buddy- did you read the article?  They called and told them about the circumstances over and over and were lied to and told “someone was on the way”  Also, best of luck as you grow old alone- i’m sure you’ll have ton of people advocating for your care!

What you are doing is illegal and you will face consequences for it eventually. 

This country fucking sucks.
