Divulgence of my experiences are somewhere in the thread. :)

I’m about to go over to my neighbor’s house to hang out. It’s not wrong to wear yesterday’s outfit in the name of sharing it with the Jezzie-verse right? At least if I’m at my neighbor’s they can take a flattering full length pic!

I love this, as PLEASEKITHME said, that was beautifully put. I don’t have children, but I am fortunate to have friends with great kids, and I love to be able to try to instill a little of this in their lives, or with other young people I work with.

Yas. Yaass! Beautifully put.

The janitor at work called me “mommy” when I was pregnant. ICK!!! He continued even after I asked him to stop because “he was only joking” I had to avoid him for two months.

Wow, just wow. That is absolutely nuts. Why on Earth would that be an issue?!

That is incredibly tough. I can imagine that many mothers would be resentful of your access to healthcare and such but I can also see how many would appreciate seeing how your son has done so well. Not sure and boy is that a hard call.

I literally lol’d at tig’s

OMG yes. My mother taught special ed for 30 years before retiring, and i often helped in her classroom or on weekends when she took her students on outings for extra socialization or help. I have a huge, healthy respect for those who caretake, parent, and teach mentally, physically, or emotionally disabled. It’s an…

I was hanging out with some hippie-ish friends when the article came out linking the microcephaly to a pesticide (But actually please don’t listen to those reports). All affluent white women from NYS. All appalled that these countries were adding pesticides to their water just to control mosquitoes. As if Zika is the…

Some people can’t see beyond their own driveways. A woman in the United States with lots of support, both financially and emotionally, is vastly different from a destitute woman in a third world country who is going it alone. Vastly.

Seriously. I’m glad she loves her children and is happy with her family but fuck this bitch. Fuck you and your goats milk you white privileged assed self congratulatory bitch. Fuck you for even implying that these poor women in South America should even begin to model their lives after your rich ass experience. Fuck…

Not just birth control, but let’s shut down places like Planned Parenthood where maybe you could get testing/counseling/whatever you need to prepare for something like this.

Last I heard they were still a few years away from market on it. NPR had one of the doctors working with or around it and he said that they were just moving on to animal trials I think.

How dare you criticize such an incredible mother. I mean, she bravely rebuffed the advice of MEDICAL DOCTORS to feed her daughter who has SEVERE MEDICAL ISSUES and instead of giving her ACTUAL MEDICATION feeds her an “organic diet, with plenty of minerals and vitamins... like avocado, goat’s milk, and other…

Meanwhile this American suburban white lady is telling poor South American women how much her children with microcephaly are a blessing so they shouldn’t worry about zika that much.

I wouldn’t want to be pregnant in the US this summer.

What a nightmare. I hope we can get a vaccine that can be mass produced and widely distributed ASAP. The women who are being effected by this have so few resources, this tradgey is just being compounded over and over and over.

Rape? I don't think so. Gross negligence and malpractice? Bingo.
