And tbh she’s been on a redemption tour this season.

Julia Sugarbaker also helped shaped my worldview. I still think it’s hilarious that Dixie Carter was a hardcore conservative

YES. MY EVERYTHING. Designing Women was the number one reason I'd fake sick to stay home school as a kid. They played designing women on, like, TBS or something all day.

The important thing is that I finally have a reason to post a “Designing Women” GIF.

Sure. And I’M the bad mom for not doing any of this crap.

A quick check of Google says it usually costs between $450-$500. Many states (including TN) ban abortion from being covered under insurance (at least through health insurance covered under the ACA), and places like Planned Parenthood receive no federal funding for performing abortion services. So if you have, say,…

It’s exactly miracles of science that enable a baby born at 24 weeks to survive. A baby in a NICU will undergo tremendous amounts of very advanced, often complicated treatments in order to survive.

The laws are set up to be incredibly restrictive to access to a legal abortion. That’s the whole point of shutting down the clinics that used to provide this legal service. She didn’t “wait” 24 weeks to make “her choice”, she was backed into a corner by old white men to where she felt her only option was sticking a…

Fuck off. You have no idea why this woman ended up how she did.

“Don’t be a victim” has got to be one of the dumbest, most enraging arguments ever. You’re already a victim, you can’t choose to be one or not; that choice was up to the person who victimized you.

Highlight of my morning.

“I’m going to get a class of poorer kids, most of whom are black, that need a lot of redirection and micro-managing of emotional volatility.”

Wow... So what you’re essentially saying is that you look at a roster of kids’ names, and you assume black names = poor, emotionally unbalanced children who must be strictly…

I’m one of those horrible single moms who was apparently supposed to name my kid something cutesy from pop culture. My kid is named after a famous British feminist from the turn of the 20th century. The only person I’ve met who recognized the name is in his 90s.

I know (of) a child named Quinn except they spelled it Kwin. I am agressively non-judgmental on baby names (every name was weird once, I figure), but for some reason “Kwin” really makes me want to punch someone.

It is a fairly common name too. I’ve been frustrated with Jezebel for a while but I don’t know why this particular post, which isn’t even that bad, is setting me off a bit. Maybe it’s because I have a non-anglicized name or maybe it is just because the snark is so stupid and off point. Declan is also a common name.

do you usually justify your name to people based on the meaning? or is it also possible someone likes the the sound of “na-vay” and ya, maybe thinks the spelling is cute too. should my athiest friend Michelle hate that her name is “gift from god”?

I seriously do not understand the hate. And I think Lachlan is a perfectly fine name. Make up some name - people hate. Use longstanding traditional name - people hate. Seems like some around here won't be happy until the baby name list looks like their class list from 1988.

Better than Elgna I guess.

I’m going for Cthulhu or The Goat with a Thousand Young.
