This is awful. It’s 2016 and faculty are worried about teaching LGBT history because it might piss off the wrong person. And I can guaran-fucking-tee you the University and NRA will lay the blame at the professor’s feet for “going there.”

I usually dig your vibe and as Jez commenters go I love ya, but these judgmental posts are disappointing. :-/

As someone who recently lost a very good friend to a brutal murder by manual strangulation - I listened to Serial and couldn’t help but think about Hae’s poor family. We know for a fact who committed the murder of my friend, but the unimaginable pain and anguish it has caused her family and friends is something you…

Totally! Thank you! I know people who adopted a 4 year old who had been allowed to stay with a developmentally delayed mother and her parents (same scenario of sketchy child services history) until they finally took custody away based on severe and long term neglect. Finally the red flag showed up when the kid ended…

I’m afraid I have to side with the DCF on this one as well... I’m sure that this is very painful for her and her family, but there’s a lot in the linked article which is concerning. She can’t understand dosage directions on a medicine bottle; what happens if the kid gets sick and she tries to give her medicine, but…

I think it’s okay to offend adults when children are involved. No child deserves to be treated like a learning experience for an adult who isn’t competent.

In an ideal world, the foster parents would teach her how to care for her baby but it’s not an ideal world. It’s the real world. In the real world, foster parents have their own kids and work and lives to attend to. It’s not their job to educate the biological mother on how to care for her child - it’s just not. If…

It was more than that she missed a feeding and had trouble with the diaper:

My cousin was deprived of oxygen at birth and as a result has severe intellectual dificulties (cannot read or write). He got his also similarly affected teenage girlfriend pregnant. The baby was removed from their care at birth. I don't have a doubt in my mind that this was the right decision. They were lucky that her…

I can’t say I disagree with DCF’s original assessment. Read the linked article: as a child, Sara was removed from her parents’ home because her father was violent and may have sexually abused her. Sending a new baby girl into that home without a second thought would be horribly short-sighted. Additionally, reading…

I feel for her and while I’m glad she got her daughter back, the state and the hospital were doing their job, which was to protect the child. I’m a pediatrician and see many parents who, to be completely honest, shouldn’t be taking care of their children without help. I’m not saying everyone with some developmental…

Fun fact: Abortion is 100% illegal in El Salvador. Not even for the health of the mother or the baby or in the case of rape and incest.

Sometimes I think I want to start my own religion. We wouldn't have to go to church on Sunday and sex is okay.

This is so accurate. Add in a resentful sentence about how “you guys never believe me and tweet me that I’m wrong because of their social media posts, but you’re all idiots to believe that but I can’t explain why” and you’ve got yourself an average blog post.

He seems to have genuine disdain for a lot of his readers.

I read Steve’s blog religiously last year for recaps and spoilers, but oh my goodness is it tough to get through. The blog is so rambling and smug, he loves to make his readers feel like they’re idiots.

The First Amendment has nothing to to do with allowing random people to call him a rapist. Your First Amendment rights are only violated by state action. Not the internet mob.
