Also, could I get out the greys please??? I never post much, but when I do, it’s high quality! <3

Sixteen years ago my first baby was stillborn in my 43rd week of pregnancy. I worked with a group in my state to allow for a Certificate of Birth Resulting in Stillbirth. When my daughter was born, I got a death certificate that didn’t even include her name. It made her feel like medical waste. The certificate of…

I’m going to get shit on and I don’t care. The Dems are fine with it and so am I. I know I’m never supposed to consider any fetus anything more than a clump of cells, but when it comes to MY fetus, it’s just different. It’s my baby. I would never impose babyhood on someone else’s clump of cells, but from the moment I…

1. This type of zero-sum, simplistic thinking paints a compelling picture that these people are a bunch of pea-brains incapable of handling complex matters (if the healthcare debacle wasn’t convincing enough).

All I want for my birthday is a favorable report from the Georgia Department of Public Health.

It must be nice to be the only person doing feminism right.

this is awesome. I love this so much.

Yeah, that last one’s kind of worth pausing over, and there’s a really interesting conversation to be had there about the legacy of Jefferson and about education in America.

When Trump said he would create 25 million new jobs I bet no one thought they would all be working for the ACLU.

Ms. Clinton suffers from a congenital birth defect. As someone who was also born with this, which is so often stigmatized and swept under the rug, I think it’s time people start talking about it to draw back the curtain and draw attention to it. Let’s talk about it, people! It’s not disgusting! It’s not shameful! It…

From the vigil tonight in Birmingham, AL. There were a few hundred people. Also note that this is the first time in history that city hall has displayed a rainbow flag on their property.

I will never be a Clinton fan and I voted for Bernie in the state primary. That said, Bernie,

“While Carolyn [had] told him in the past that she wanted to die, she [had] never asked him specifically to kill her.”

It’s a sad story, but she also didn’t ask him to help kill her. This story is really weird because I am completely sympathetic to our shit-tier medical system (that we are finally fixing), but he didn’t get her consent to go through the act. That is a huge red flag for me and I am assume it will be for the prosecution…

1. It really doesn’t matter if he has healthcare insurance or not. Medications are still astronomically out of reach with insurance sometimes. An elderly woman with a complex medical history, could be on a lot of different meds. Back when I was a nurse, they said 9 or more meds was cause for interactions, but I…

Comrades! Let us toast to at least another 4 years of continued Democrat presidency!

As a student of international criminal justice, I will be forever sad at this completely missed opportunity to be better than the terrorist. What a trial this could have been! What a precedent for future generations. But alas.

You can even develop and teach AAC techniques for moderate to severe intellectual disabilities but you’re not going to get long complicated utterances all of a sudden. More like they’ll be able to ask for some things or indicate if they’re in pain etc. (For example: there are communication board scanning methods that…

Seriously, I hate how FC/rapid prompting is often brought up in the same breath with legitimate alternative/augmentative communication devices and methods which allow for independent communication.

It’s frustrating because there is something to be said for how differently abled folks are kept out of realms of consideration for, among other things, normal, healthy, happy, consensual sexual relationships. This kind of story entrenches the idea that because someone cannot communicate on the level we deem as normal,…
