So powerful men should be able to get away with assaulting anyone they want, so long as they keep people employed?

I actually found it reassuring. Drag them all out!

GOP logic: controlling women > hating immigrants > helping citizens > losing enough credibility to not get re-elected > nothing

I’ve been tossing around the idea of starting an all female commune. We will need farmers.

Right? This is so weird, I feel like it undermines their entire argument and solidifies the GSA’s assessment that they are only doing it to bolster their numbers.

TL;DR - When the option is between small chance of major problem with baby vs large chance of any problem with mom, doctors will (almost) always recommend (or demand) option B...and often don’t explain the two options to the woman at all.

It is generally recommended but it is one of the MANY decisions during pregnancy that doctors very commonly don’t give women all the information on, or strongly encourage for their own convenience and lessoned liability rather than it actually being best for the mother and/or baby. VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean)…

How many people died waiting for them to get their thumbs out of their asses?

What irked me about Alicia Keys “no makeup” movement is that she still wore makeup

There are SUCH bigger issues right now but damn, this photo makes me so happy

If her contract doesn’t include literal dump trucks of money I will be very miffed.

As an architect the “tiny house” trend is infuriating. The media *cough*HGTV*cough* makes Tiny sound like just another style of house. It’s not, it’s a LIFESTYLE, and not one that is particularly compatible with American culture. I can’t believe it took this long for the “trend” to wane.

The website says they are “against animal testing” but I don’t see anything that says everything they sell is actually cruelty free. hmm

I read a fascinating book a very long time ago about how Hitler used christian (or varying forms) priests to gain support. He later hanged many of them.

It does seem pretty clear that “the defendant’s actions created a high degree of likelihood that substantial and serious harm would result to another person”. In a previous article (that I can’t find at the moment) it was mentioned that this argument hadn’t previously been used when the defendant wasn’t physically…

My understanding is that was the crux of the trial, the law isn’t exactly clear if she was legally culpable (IMHO because it was written before the age of social media and the expansive instant communication we now have). I understand being torn, but personally I think this is a good thing. The way we communicate as a…
