See, the Kit you posted looks different to me. The one linked here, even though Us Magazine seems to think he’s unrecognizable, looks exactly as I would expect.

The over-prescription of opioids

I agree. I am 41 and had 10 back surgeries and suffer from dibilitating pain every moment of every day without pain medication and physical therapy. I am almost certain he was simply in pain and BC he had used a certain med for so long his body built a tolerance to it. That then turns into a need to increase dosage.…

The over-prescription of opioids, and lack of legal alternatives in this country is a travesty.

But it’s not just that. We could start at the beginning, and recall that Bill Clinton got elected by forcing the execution of a severely mentally handicapped man (mental age of approximately five) in order to prove to white people that he was not soft on either crime or black people. That alone turns my stomach, but…

Misinterpretation?

Sweetie is the one that really bothers me. Like, unless its my Mom it feels condescending.

When an affectionate term like dear is used by a stranger/person in a position of power it always comes off as super condescending to me.

Of course it is a tragedy for her and her family. The podcast presented her as a bright, beautiful, well-loved girl whose death rocked a community.

The way Hae’s life and death were treated by the podcast and its fans remains bizarre to me. Whether or not you think Adnan is guilty, this girl is still dead and that death is still a tragedy.

Bey didn’t almost fall - gravity momentarily forgot who it was fuckng with.

IS THAT MS BIG FREEDIA QUEEN DIVA IN THE SPOKEN BITS!?

Aw, jeez, come on. I identify with sloths, but I’m not Rachel Dolezaling myself into a sloth, the way this chick is into a cat.

I think you’re completely right she needed, and still needs, help and support. But taking the baby away and only allowing her 1 hour twice a month is ridiculous. Ideally, she would have been referred for help by her OB before birth to gain some of the basics like diapering and CPR and then a home visit nurse would…

I agree with you, but this woman did everything she was supposed to do to get better at taking care of the baby. The answer for her is not to take her child away, but to set her up with some kind of program to teach, help, and maybe monitor her until she is competent enough.

Exactly. Why not set her up to get as much help as possible, with people to teach her and check in on her regularly.

After Dana’s placement, Sara was initially allowed to see her daughter for one hour each week with the brief help of her own mother and the supervision of a social worker.

Correction: Lizzo is Minneapolis based. Also, her group Grrl Party is dope as hell. They're giving a free show Thursday night, and I'm kicking myself because I have class at the same time.

Lizzo is currently a resident of Minneapolis. We’re proud of that here.

She made sure to mention she won an award for portraying an ex convict and not for her tender mother role in Benjamin Button. She served cookies, majesty and facts!
