Any stories that Jezebel publishes about money and poverty as it relates to all kinds of women are stories I want to read. There’s so much shame and secrecy about finances in our culture, and stories like this have a way of lancing those boils and making everything clearer and easier for everybody.

Oh my god YES. I hear people talking about how their parents are giving them $20K for a wedding, or $30K for a down payment on a home, or paying for their college tuition entirely. Must be really fucking nice.

This is relatable to someone like me who has significant (in my less positive moments I use the term “crushing”) student loan debt because I too didn’t have financial help starting out. It also gives me hope that I won’t always be struggling. I wish more people who received that down payment from their parents etc.…

Yeah, I don’t think nepotism is an issue; I think CORRUPTION is an issue. Hillary Clinton working on universal health care in the 1990's was not about finding ways to make money for herself or her family.

P.S. The next time you are so shocked at receiving a “bitchy” response, you might want to check yourself first. You: “I think that you are giving Hillary Clinton a break because you relate to her and like her and you don’t give Kushner a break because you don’t relate to him or like him.” You don’t know shit about me…

Ok. Hillary Clinton founded the Arkansas Advocates for Women and Children and worked on a number of public policy issues. This was in the 70s. Hillary Clinton was also the Chair of the Arkansas Legal Services Corporation (which as I’ve already said my parents were deeply involved in poverty issues, and both actually…

Plus, I work in international law. So, it would be a bit strange for me to have a different view on this in light of Eleanor Roosevelt’s role in creating most of the Conventions that underpin my work and her role in essentially building the United Nations’ humanitarian and human rights guiding policies and committees.…

I also think there is a need to take into account the gender issues that were much more at play with the Clintons. I come from kind of a similar background (minus the Presidency of course!). My parents were both extremely politically active, deeply involved in civil rights and particularly poverty issues. They were a…

I heard something once about how Ted Kennedy’s staff answered the many, many angry calls they’d get regarding his position on gun control. Something to the effect of “As you may know, two of the Senator’s brothers were victims of gun violence.” Not sure if it’s true, but I imagine many a caller would have to think for…

The ‘late’ James E Reilly returned? Behind-the-scenes plot twist!

They’re aware.

be nice and we’ll remove the restraints that keep you from reading something else

As a “mature” working class, college educated “elitist” white woman I am filled with dread and foreboding for this country and its citizens to the point of nausea. The abuse we “libtards” suffer for wanting the best for everyone (freedoms, justice, fairness, fucking HEALTH care, decent infrastructure, and education)…

Thank you for everyone who has donated, took time to listen to our story and all the nice comments. A special shoutout for this blog who posted us. You guys are definitely helping us to achieve our dream. Much love ❤️ - One of the Monroe cheerleaders

Nationals may not mean anything to you, but it sure means a lot to us. The tears of the joy that come from cheerleaders after each competition shows that they are passionate about what they do, we have come so far and we will not give up on our dream. It’s not about the trip, it’s about coming home with the first…

Turns out when Kara tried to give the eyeliner away to a friend (the color didn’t work on her), the eyeliner REAPPEARED IN HER MAKEUP CASE THE NEXT DAY.

Shaw was in Kazaam...distinct from the phenomenally misremembered but non-existent Shazam. Sighhh.

I always wonder whether I had imagined Brian Dunkleman for that brief early aughts moment... Sorta like the Sinbad movie ‘Shazam!’

Those are quotation marks, and yes you are correct because you are quoting a phrase, not writing a full quoted sentence that ends in a question.

“Per patient” is ED charting speak for “this patient is full of shit.”
