My case is considered “mild,” I have been sick for almost two weeks and feel like I’m drowning in my own mucus. It is hell. I’m glad I got vaccinated and only have a “mild” case because I can’t imagine being any sicker than this. Just beware that “mild” is far, far worse than you may think.

Sending hugs! I found what really helped me the 3rd time around was to get a doctor who understood the condition, get on the anti nausea meds before feeling sick and then regular, sometimes daily IV fluids. The hospital should have a system for daily IVs for out patients with other illnesses so you can ask to be…

Thank you! As someone who suffered Hyperemisis through 3 pregnancies, calling it morning sickness makes my blood boil.

It wasn't your typical beauty pageant at all; it was more just young women talking about their dreams and goals. 

Ah, that brings back memories of watching my nipples suctioned into the shape of little smokey sausages. Werrrrrp...werrrrrp...werrrrp.

idk who cares, let people post selfies and just appreciate that they are feeling pretty that day, and stop making assumptions on why people do it.

People cope with tragedy in different ways. She probably felt the feeling of support from a wider community was comforting.

I agree! It sucks I have to write like that to avoid getting sued for libel, and I wish I could comfortably use different language!

So you're telling me that because it was a black man that raped and killed her, racist things couldn't have happened to her?

There are obvious milestones of joy in our lives, like the birth of a child, marriage, etc. And then there are snapshots, like when I look down at my daughter cooing on my chest and tell myself “please let me remember this exact moment when I’m on my death bed.”

Or, just make sure they can wash their hands with soap frequently, which works better anyway. Hand sanitizer is mostly for when you’re out and about and there’s no soap and water available, but since prisoners can’t be out and about because they’re in prison, as long as all visitors to the prisoners, and the guards,…

My friend did the hair for this shoot and told me about it. That’s the exact right answer. 2:30am was the call time.

What ? How did you managed to center White people in a comment section about lack of representation for black/ non-white beauty ? I could even understand if you decided to ask that question on the “Dirt Bag” article. It truly boggles the mind.

I’m not here for his body shaming. I don’t care about hurting his feelings, but I do care about anyone else who might be reading our comments, who feel bad about their bodies. Don’t hurt others in our rush to hurt Harv

The money goes to his estate, which has been as proactive in trying to shut down his accusers as he was. I don’t have a ton of issues with people listening to problematic artists once they’re dead, if the money isn’t being put to harmful uses--but that isn’t the case here. The estate is still using your streaming money…

In the meantime let’s not shame women who get abortions.

I started saying that I’m pro-abortion a few years ago in response to the oft-tauted “we’re not pro-abortion, we just believe in giving people the choice”.

So why not wait until universal access to reliable birth control with no side effects is an actual reality to say that abortion should be rare?

Why say it should be rare when neither of the things that would make it rare are even close to occurring?

I'm struggling to understand why it matters that we know precisely what Quintana died of. This is a memoir, not a piece of objective journalism.
