It’s probably not Princess Jellyfish, but that’s the only one that’s coming to mind? Edit: and it isn’t!

My mom’s a NYC teacher (in Bayside, Queens, thankfully not Manhattan) so we live on Long Island, an hour’s commute away in good traffic. I think she makes about 75k a year, and that’s WITH working summers. She teaches a 6:1:1 and her students have year-round school, so she continues to teach for most of the summer,…

Your friend is amazing!!!

Exactly!

Me too.

Yeah, that’s what I’m referring to. I couldn’t remember which state did what earlier while buzzed at my friend’s wedding, so I decided to leave out specifics. It’s so, so awful. Beyond awful, but they don’t care.

I remember that and cited it a few weeks ago in a paper. It's ridiculous.

This won’t make conservatives change their minds at all. All it’s going to result in is a proliferation of laws that classify it as feticide or infanticide, to further punish a desperate woman. So awful.

She’s gone too??

My dad took me to the duck pond as a four year old and thought it’d be hilarious to put two slices of bread in my back pockets. I can sympathize.

I highly, highly doubt it.

The hagiography of Christina of Markyate is also a really good example of the lengths women went in order to not marry.

As an autistic person myself, having my mother (who has her master’s in special ed and teaches a 6-1-1 of autistic 3rd graders in NYC) remind me that autism was no excuse for poor behavior really lit the fire under my ass as a smaller kid. I progressed pretty quickly after really, really understanding that. I don’t…

So much love!! I’d kill to be back there right now but financial issues forced me to transfer last spring :(

I went to school at Mount Holyoke and it’s really, really bad up there. It’s so bad that when I had a kidney stone, Holyoke General couldn’t give me any painkillers and neither could Mercy when I had emergency surgery a week later. I remember the nurses apologizing over and over for not being able to give me anything…

They were also holding her to a contract that she signed as a minor and in NY, where I believe she signed it, a minor can only enter a record contract that lasts up to seven years, which is a huge reason why she sued, as more than 7 years have passed.

I was reading that bit of interview out loud to my mother and she looked at me very seriously and asked if he’s had a stroke or two and I think she’s on to something tbh

It should probably be noted that she had size 3.5/4 fingers and I was a size 7 at 13 (when she died), and my fingers are a size 8.5 now. They’re more like bratwursts than hotdogs, tbh.

My grandma’s last words to me, on her deathbed, were as such: “You must have gotten your fingers from your mother - they’re like hotdogs.”

In my PoliSci class two weeks ago when the girl next to me told me to shut up after I aggressively corrected my professor while he was on his mansplaining war path over feminism.

I’m still not sure whether I was crying over the fact that the class was being taught that women are fickle and all hate men or because I’d…
