John Oliver’s brief reminder of why she is awful...

I was in labor for 30+ hours before electing for a c-section. My baby was not in danger at that point and my doctor gave me the option to continue a few more hours. After 30 hours, I was exhausted from contractions every two minutes, I was literally strapped down because of hormone shakes and I was in tremendous…

I wanted to have a VBAC with my second. I went into labor and immediately it was evident the baby wasn’t doing well (heart rate kept dropping). The doctor bluntly told me “You can continue labouring for several more hours and put your baby at risk or we can just do a repeat c-section now.” She was definitely pushing…

Driving along, that song comes on, crank it up, belt it out. Middle age retreats and indestructible youth revives for 3:36 minutes.

Agreed. It’s been stuck in my head ever since I heard he was in the hospital.

And an awful day gets worse.

I loved his music, and I loved his attitude. See the“Runnin Down a Dream” doc if you haven’t already - it’s a wonderful mining of his and his band’s work.

And you can’t forget his work with Stevie....

a true fact is that American Girl is one of the best songs ever written, I’m going to listen to it and cry now

Being a little nuts doesn’t absolve a person from choosing to commit a violent crime.

Exactly. Why the fuck do we have a juvenile justice system if we can somehow prosecute 12-year-olds as adults?

The DA of Waukesha county at the time was Brad Schimmel. In short order he became the attorney general of Wisconsin, a position he currently holds. He is a nightmare.

She’s going to a mental ward.

Actually, the New York Times magazine has a fascinating article about how people who plead not guilty by reason of insanity or are found unable to stand trial often spend more years locked in psychiatric hospitals than they would if they had plead guilty and been sentenced to prison. Plus, the prison system has to…

Why were they tried as adults, anyway? I know that this happens but I have never understood it. Why even have adult and child categories then?

Eff that. I want Porky’s 3!

I am in grad school to get my PsyD, and I am currently placed in an elementary school two days/week to — in part — conduct affective education and social/emotional learning groups with students in need of support. Yesterday, two students in my group began talking about Slenderman, how cool he is, how he has been…

I watched the documentary on HBO I think it was. This girl has some serious mental health problems, as her father is a schizophrenic, she should be in a hospital not prison.

I feel like the term stoves and ovens are used pretty interchangeably these days (maybe depends on where you live), but traditional stoves are used to heat a home, are usually wood burning, and sometimes they have a spot on top where you can cook or heat something (when I was a kid when our power went out in the…

What a weird thing to get critical over.

Her husband, tho! Damn! The fact that she gets to sit on his face makes me hate her even more.

Yeah... take a look at Thatcher’s social policy record.
