I liken it to the focus on weddings/wedding planning over the actual marriage to follow. The popular focus on “my personal, special birth plan unlike anyone else’s” can remove focus from the actual person resulting from that birth.

Personally, I would rather give birth at home. I have no problem with it.

WTF is the point of living in modern times if a person doesn’t avail herself of some of its luxuries, like a freaking pre-natal appointment to a midwife or something? Yet she will chatter on FB about the “primal instinct” that takes over. Guess what? Birthing can be pretty deadly, just look at history. But no, the…

I dob’t know how I feel about this. On one hand, she was looking forward to having her baby, and it must have been devastating for her to lose it. On the other hand, though, not seeking medical advise for days after she went into labor is extremely stupid. Free Birth Society sounds like a cult... which it is. Same…

I feel terrible for Lisa for her baby’s tragic death but it sounds like it was entirely avoidable. Is there no such thing as common sense anymore? Also, the members of her Facebook group that were still cheering her on after several days should feel horribly ashamed.

I think the Satanic Temple is different than the Church of Satan. The Satanic Temple’s main thing is to try to subvert religious freedom laws or use religious freedom arguments (ie in a challenge against restrictive abortion laws) to challenge the way those laws and arguments almost exclusively mean religious freedom…

I am loosely connected to the people who made the statue originally, and I can tell you that the thing is massive, took a very long time to fabricate, and was made with great care. It’s an art piece more than anything. It is truly mind boggling that the Sabrina producers thought they could just copy the whole thing…

Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh is literally Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. His house stands three blocks from the synagogue where today’s shooting took place and that little diorama of his community represented the community where this occurred.

Like always, its not the crime its the coverup. Hari crafted his criticism in as conciliatory a tone as can be imagined; the opportunity to make something interesting of it was right there for the taking. It is in the show’s DNA to be smart in response. Acting like my uncle at Thanksgiving about it was surprising and…

“She looks like your Aunt Clara in 1985.”

“rudness isn’t the end of the world. It just is what it is. Social behaviors outside a norm that make people uncomfortable. No more, no less.”

I know 5 languages and have actually lived in 3 different countries throughout my life, long story. I speak Spanish to my visiting relatives from Central America, Portuguese to my Brazilian wife, and German whenever and wherever I get a chance. The more languages the better, that’s all there is to it. Not bragging,…

What a disaster.

Compelling evidence that he’s definitely not a belligerent drunk amirite?

You nailed it, looks like they faked the Rhode Island one. The guy who reported it already took it back (that was fast). Definitely trying to muddy the waters

I’m now seeing some pro-Trump/conservative women on Twitter saying “I was raped/molested” as a means of somehow legitimizing their attacks on Kavanaugh’s accusers.

Boy, I can’t wait to read the article in Forbes about all the money you can make lying about sexual assault.

Anyone that criticizes you for telling this chode to fuck off can fuck off.

When I was in Catholic high school, we learned that the death penalty was a no-go all the time. Maybe I learned a different form of Catholicism.
