Successful people commit suicide. Black people commit suicide. Muslim people commit suicide. The police obviously need to rule out every possibility of foul play. But based on this post we know nothing about her personal life, if she was suffering from depression, having financial problems, found out she had incurable…

Maybe we could make sure everyone has adequate sick leave for all the things? I mean many people have chronic recurring health issues of varying degrees.

As someone who was out of the office last week Monday because my cramps made me consider the pros/cons of hacking out my uterus with a butcher knife, I support this.

Have they? A couple years ago on “national sterilization day” or something like that, I posted about it and encouraged everyone to go get snipped, and a supposedly progressive male friend in his 40s with three kids was like HELL NO. It didn’t sound like things had changed much since Mom had her tubes tied in the 70s…

It’s true, but it’s also true that she said she stopped wearing makeup because of the unrealistic expectations for appearance that women face, so wearing makeup and pretending you aren’t wearing makeup is just as bad as photoshop and crazy contouring in terms of setting up unreasonable expectations for how women…

AHCA crashing and burning? This is not a surprise. The GOP, both in Congress and across the country, is NOT really a single party any longer, but rather (at least) two very different political parties—the Tea Party/alt right and the remnants of “moderate” Republicans/conservatives and their allies—artificially united…

If you wanted to go to law school with a kid, you should have been born a man like God intended.

I’ve talked here before about having my son in my first semester of law school.

Haha! Well, yes. But like it says in the response, the questioner is really just looking for reassurance that not doing anything is okay. And it is. I think the only thing that is close to a guaranteed success with kids is waiting it out.

“My spouse and mother gave me advice, but I don’t like it so I won’t do it”

Let’s just remember that he has a valuable legacy that I can’t just throw away. I remember that he’s the first black man to ever win an Emmy in television. I also remember that he’s the first guy to make a cartoon with black characters where their lips and noses were drawn proportionately. I remember that he had a…

Big lawfirms tend to have good maternity leave benefits.

Use the company for maternity benefits? He does realize that there are next to ZERO companies offering maternity benefits in this country right? Beside the right not to be fired for having to birth a human, and the government approved time off that I’m allowed, you know what I get from my company - ZIP. ZILCH. NADA.

One thing I have noticed about the difference between Americans and other countries is that other nations seem to largely not make the kind of promises American doctors tend to make. In America, pain relief means “taking the pain away” more often than not. Most of us seem to believe that “pain relief” means a total…

Spoiler alert: men assaulting women in the bathroom (anyone assaulting anyone in the bathroom) is already illegal. It has absolutely nothing to do with letting trans people use the bathrooms for their intended purpose (you know, like all humans need to).

Texas is what happens when you shut down PP. Kansas is what happens when you cut taxes for the rich. Wisconsin is what happens when you cut education. The Great Lakes and Flint, MI are what to expect when you kill the EPA.

Why do we continue to act surprised that our government clearly doesn’t have our best interests…

The response from the N.C. Democratic Party was beautiful.

He has every right to complain. I’m sure it will be extremely difficult for a former state governor to find low effort & lucrative lobbying work. Especially a Republican.
