Strollers are not allowed on buses in NYC. You have to close them, removing everything in them, and hold the child on your lap, even though that is not necessarily safer. A lot of people live in NYC and we need a safe way for children to be transported around the city by parents and caregivers.

I appreciate coverage of this. Policies like this seem like they could be easily manipulated by those in power to target families in poverty, parents with mental or physical health issues, children who are avoiding school due to abuse or bullying at school, etc. America *doesnt* have a strong safety net, we don’t have…

hamberders.

Guys like that are so incredibly common that a third of all women murder victims are killed by male intimate partners. Our society is so full of virulent misogyny, guys like this are everywhere.

I’m so with you! Endometriosis and scar tissue adhesions can be so extremely painful, and even if adhesions and endometriosis cells are removed, one can *still* have pain! There just isn’t enough research, and not enough who take it seriously. I’m glad you have a good pain management physician and got a better…

YES to this article! Something the author doesn’t mention is how difficult it is to find doctors who treat pelvic pain. Most, even pain management doctors or GYNs, ignore it entirely. Finding specialists within one of those specialties—especially that take insurance—is extremely difficult.

Yes. I need morphine to get out of bed in the morning, thanks to several painful conditions, but the new CDC guidelines say non-cancer patients should be kept off pain meds, or below a moderate threshold, no matter symptoms, history, or diagnoses. Pain medication allows me to live, for fucks sake, and I can only…

The opioid crisis is harming many. Yet an important angle that I have yet to see addressed is how it is harming those of us with serious health issues that rely on pain meds for basic function and mobility. The federal government is pressuring doctors not to prescribe moderate to high doses of pain relievers (despite…

Hopefully of a painful hemorrhage due to intestinal blockage, since we all know he’s full of it. 

Let’s remember NBC is the network that legitimized Trump to most of the country, and what they do, they do for their bottom line and public image. NBC would be incredibly stupid not to pull Pete Davidson from work and put him on whatever kind of sick leave he’s on. If he hurt himself while working for NBC after those…

I’m so sorry, this must be so scary. I’d demand screenings for ovarian cancer and mesothelioma from my doctors if I were in your shoes.

This is the most absolutely terrifying news I’ve heard in a while, and though I read about it when it first broke, I’m still both horrified and so scared. My ,ok has used J&J powder most of my life. I know I’ve breathed it in. I don’t know if she used it on me as a baby but I have numerous reproductive issues.

My mom has used it most of my life, and now I’m really worried for her.

YES. asbestos is present when talc is mined. So terrifying. (I edited after re-reading your comment)

THIS ^^^

In the FB post she said she was told that a black employee had said it was blackface but he no longer worked for Prada. So...

RUUUUUDE.

They need someone from the union on set. The performing arts unions need to get on this and stand up for their members if the production companies aren’t. 

That’s completely false. It has happened throughout the twentieth century as part of eugenicist forced sterilization programs; forced reproductive procedures like tubal ligations continue today, mostly in prisons. As others have pointed out, abusers can absolutely coerce their victims to acquiesce to such procedures.

I very much appreciated this. His obsession with unions is deeply bizarre. What a narcissist.
