Wow! This reads like poorly done fan fiction. Apocalyptic presidential fan fiction? 

I love Foux de Fafa! I remember when the show Chuck was on, it was featured in the yogurt shop! I think I was the only one who noticed.

Hey I threw rocks at that funeral because the Westboro Church had some nasty signs up nearby. Not my fault.

Haha, yes! She’s got lots of grand animals. My brother has seven dogs, 5 piggies, donkeys and more! I have 2 kitties and she’s always wanting to come love on everyone. She would have been an amazing grandma but my brother & I were apparently too chicken to take on raising a human!

Good gawd! You are me! I was on the fence about kids...if my partner wanted them, I’d be up for it but...wow. After we were married, I realized (late, I know) that he didn’t want kids and also would be terrible. If we had kids, at some point his boss would come looking for him and find his lifeless body under a pile…

You, like so many parents, are amazing! I don’t have kids but I do most of the work around the house. My husband acts the same way...he will clean up the spill on the floor or the fallen papers but will never see that it’s something that needs to be done unless I ask. Baffling! He also sometimes adds a little bit of…

True. It was a...different...situation for sure but I don’t think it was entirely unheard of. So many women have different reasons for needing abortion services. I worked with a woman whose fetus developed with a fatal complication. This was a wanted child but it would never survive outside the womb. She had to walk,…

Though I think they’re a waste of time, I don’t really want the press briefings gone since they seem to make up some of the rope they hang themselves with. I guess there’ve not been any major repercussions so maybe it’s NBD to lie to journalists now?

...but one of the more pernicious myths regarding abortion is that women who elect to have one were often irresponsible or lacked the ability to think ahead with regards to pregnancy.

Thank you for this reminder. I don’t think the state & local representatives will necessarily listen to what I specifically have to say but if I can join a pile of “we don’t like what you are doing, stop it” emails or calls, then maybe it’ll become a Thing they have to think about before deciding on the next bill or…

Wow, thank you for this.

OMG! How can I see this in Texas?!

Same...bleach is what I’ve gotten.

His tone made me wonder if he was trying to not appear to be soft on the left and he overcorrected by kind of being a dick.

All are really great points! I wish doctors could just treat people without worrying about anything else and patients could just try to heal without worrying about going bankrupt but I know that’s a really simplistic and naive wish.

That’s really great that you didn’t end up owing such a large amount. It really does make you feel like it’s all somehow a scam when they drop the price sooooo much and so quickly.

Hospital pricing is so difficult to understand. Just last week a gal I know got a bill for about $10K for a bad burn while working in a kitchen restaurant. The owner is going to pay it no matter the cost but she was completely panicked about the amount. She called the billing dept and they gave her a new price that…

What a great article! I usually love historical dramas but I haven’t been able to force myself to see these. I think you put your finger on exactly why. In all the history I’ve read about women powerful and not, the men around them are so very petty and rape-y and unfair. It’s hard to immerse yourself in a story like…

There are so many things that irk me about this guy but why does he always sound amazed at everything he sees? It’s always the most amazing/beautiful/biggest/prettiest Thing ever. Is it though...is it?

I think we graduated the same high school!
