I’ll be the first to admit that I had questions about some of AOC’s policy positions (and I still do), but Representative Ocasio-Cortez is absolutely the kind of person we need in Congress right now: willing to cut through the bullshit, unwilling to “play the game,” and unafraid of the “weight” some of her…

Weisselberg is far, far more dangerous.

She was quick, poised and an example to all.

He wanted to make a movie about his daddy; but, his father was an unremarkable man. So, he stole the legacy of a talented musician and the history of Black Americans to elevate his father’s average life (and make some money).

How anyone belongs to this insitution or still supports it is beyond me. It is a as corrupt as any organization can be.

I wish we had campaigns like this 20 years ago when I had my son. I was a young mom who was ashamed of my body and its stretch marks. I hid in matronly bathing suits and bermuda shorts no matter how thin I was because I thought no one wanted to see my mom body. I have more body confidence at 40 than I ever had at 25.…

How many kids have you adopted?

Congrats! It takes a lot to even get this far, and also you’re very close to a whole new adventure! How wonderful. I took about three years off when I got pregnant - really difficult, dangerous pregnancy that left me with no energy to speak, much less study or write, and then just basically recovering from that. But I…

Rough week, wanted to share my experience of something that happened that really frustrated me. Spending the evening cuddling with my pup to forget about it.

I can’t believe that - I do not know one parent in Australia who didn’t get the testing done! I have to say it, America/Americans are very, very strange on all issues relating to abortion and fetal health. Anyone I know who is pro/anti just keeps it to themselves, and I’m just assuming they are based on religiosity,…

I’m glad they’re former friends. When I was having my second child, I was offered a (then new) blood test to screen for Downs’ Syndrome. I agreed immediately. Abortion wasn’t an option (for me), but if anything was wrong I’d rather know during the pregnancy, than get a horrible shock in the delivery room. I would have…

I had it too and husband’s whole family acted like I was a monster for it. But I’m so glad I did because one of the scans showed a soft marker for trisomy 18(which you do NOT want!) and instead of having a whole bunch of scary tests we already knew all was fine.

I’ve owned a Siberian for 12 years and let me tell you....NOTHING prepares you for the maintenance and attention they require. Took me forever to outdoor train him, and the hair sheds off in HUGE amounts. Amazing dogs tho, and one of the most intelligent out there. Here he is!

I think you need to take a breath and see my last sentence where I included “her partner”. That could be the father, it could be her wife, it could be any number of people involved or invested in this WOMAN or the pregnancy itself. This piece was not written from the perspective of a FATHER but from the woman who physi…

This is devastating and beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. I wish you and your family peace.

Those who can’t see the future are doomed to repeat the past.

It’s amazing how this irrelevant, powerless junior congressperson (as internet commenters full-throatedly insist she is at every opportunity) has got conservatives in such a tizzy. I thought she wasn’t important? Which was it? 

I can’t help but notice all the terrible takes you’ve read are from Twitter, which reinforces a point I’ve been making a lot recently:

Congratulations, you have been mansplained back in time!
