You know, I had this crazy thought.

I suppose we'll have to add "Parenting While Black" to the list of offenses that warrant having your whole life turned upside down.

Man, this is insane. I really feel for this mom and wish she lived in another country where people are not bat-shit insane about requiring helicopter parenting (and maybe where there are more child care options.) I read this article about parenting across the world, just this morning.

The transcript of the cop talking to her makes me SEETHE with rage. Fuck you, buddy.

It is pretty messed up all around. Like another commenter said, they could have at least taken him back to Australia and made sure his medical expenses were paid before they put him in foster care or something.

People become parents for the wrong reasons. They have this idea of these perfect little clones they're going to create and mold into the image of their choosing. Be a parent because you enjoy someone be dependent on you, don't be a parent to feed your fucking ego.

I feel like, if you are looking into surrogacy, you should make it clear in the contract before inserting fertilized eggs that you have no interest in raising any potential disabled children, so that the surrogate knows going into it that she might have to abort, keep the disabled child, or give it up for adoption. …

I feel like in general, if you become a surrogate it is best to be prepared to honour the parents' wishes should they want to abort due to a catastrophic birth defect.

WE DON'T TAKE INFANTS TO AREAS WHERE MOSHING MAY BE TOTALLY PROBABLE.

Did they just ask her to leave the pit, or did they ask her to leave the concert entirely? If they just asked her not to be in the pit with her 4 month old it sounds reasonable to me. If they told her to leave the concert then she may have a point.

HIV you are a cruel beast and I wish you would fuck off.

You know, I'm just tired of this. I'm tired of being told I can't protect myself from an unwanted pregnancy. I'm tired of being told I can't have sex that doesn't result in a baby. I'm tired of being told that when I'm pregnant I'm a liability. I'm tired of being told that when I'm having a baby, I won't necessarily…

My mom and I were discussing a case (maybe it was something on the radio) where someone was facing some kind of charged for messing with a dead body (I don't remember the specifics, but it was not in a sexual way, I think it was some kind of postmortem mutilation). She thought it was incredibly stupid to give a shit…

Mark Wahlberg actually tried to date the mother of friend of mine back in the Funky Bunch days. He was shot down for having cheesy lines and being overly persistent.

America is all #notallmen and then an hour later "let's get the shotgun out to socially acceptably threaten my daughters' boyfriend."

My wish for Mark Walhberg is that is daughter is just amazing and sex positive and sleeps with whomever she's attracted to and owns her sexuality and keeps him in the fucking loop throughout all of it.

Nicholas Sparks is the Thomas Kinkade of the literature world.
