*screams into the abyss*

Falsely calling authorities is illegal in most states but things can get complicated. Here’s an article from another (much more tragic) swatting incident that discusses the legal options. https://www.cnn.com/2017/12/31/us/swatting-legal-ramifications/index.html

Yes, the justices this regime is appointing, and trying to appoint, are the true concern

What a lovely moment! I’m glad you got that win, parents can be ROUGH. (Also, that is absolutely something my dad would have done, now I’m a little scared to go back and check the photos from my wedding)

Is this even legal? Is this one more publicity stunt that will waste an enormous amount of time and money being nullified in court (while the most vulnerable suffer in limbo)? Whenever they make these horrifying pronouncements they are distracting from something.

This is an excellent story.

I bet she wanted to do it alone and this was the compromise QE2 was willing to go with

this. 1000x this.

It’s also the cheapest way to look fashionable. I can wear the same black pants every day and no one is the wiser. Spring green pants? Once a week TOPS

My 3yo loves Monsters Inc and it gave her a really great reference for “good” vs “bad” monsters, which has translated into a lot of great conversations (including: not assuming people are good or bad just because they look a certain way and if she’s sure there’s a monster in her closet it’s a good one so just go to…

yes! Thank you

Agreed. Decades of allowing the right wing to slowly shift the conversation farther and farther right (there’s a word for this that escapes me) has been degrading our country slowly for a long time now. Trump is a symptom, not the disease, and the government needs to show that the systems put in place to protect our…

This NY resident is on the fence. I’m as leery as anyone about actors throwing into politics but her history of activism inclines me to not write her off immediately. She’s getting some pretty big backers and Cuomo is definitely scared, which surprised me and actually makes me take her more seriously. I honestly don’t…

Crockpot overnight. I let mine go 24+ hours if I’m busy. Do it.

If men are forced to spend more time parenting and doing their share of the work at home.........

I’m pretty miffed No More Student Loans bit it. What’s the point of unlimited time off if the government makes us all indentured servants?

This feels like it’s going to end up being optimists vs pessimists

That is interesting. If this nonsense isn’t overturned here’s hoping it at least gets used against them in the future.

This was my initial thought, being the data-lover I am. But the data set is deeply (and intentionally) skewed because they are only asking for information from people who have complications. This data could ever be used to say “5% of abortions result in complications, and only .5% of the complications were serious…
