Hi, former poor here checking in. I didn’t get many birthday parties as a child, so now, I’m making up for it in my twenties. Like, we’re going to eat a delicious fancy dinner cooked by my SO, and then we’re all going to wear party hats and play pin the tail on the donkey and I’m going to blow out the candles on a…

What the hell does your age have to do with loving cake? You’ll take my birthday cake out of my cold dead hands on my 101st birthday, when I die fighting some other bitch at the rest home for the corner piece, because that’s where all the icing’s at. THREE SURFACES OF FROSTING.

I’m going to wait until she releases the long form birth certificate.

And isn’t this like a “lifetime” achievement award? So it makes sense that a non-teen was getting it.

I’m going to make this really simple for her. I work for the government in her neighboring state of West Virginia. When I was hired for this position, I had to sign a dozen or so pieces of paper that regulate my conduct while I’m acting as a state official. For instance: I can’t have a political bumper sticker on my…

I mean they put the wrong thing inside her body. That is amazingly horrifying. Medical malpractice is fucking scary man

Pro-choice means just that- I am PRO her right to CHOOSE a medical procedure. If she doesn’t want to have an abortion for whatever reason, I have no right to look down on her. Even if she did terminate the pregnancy- I’d still support her lawsuit. This shit is straight malpractice.

Part of being pro-choice is being pro CHOICE. You would have made a different choice if you were in her shoes. That doesn’t make it ok to condemn her choice. You think her not get getting an abortion is wrong. Pro-life people would think you were wrong for getting one. Being a judgmental asshole is being a judgmental…

She is in this predicament because of medical malpractice. She nor her personal beliefs are responsible the sheer negligence of the clinic’s staff.

I understand it. I’m even against the death penalty but this shit, and harming kids and people with developmental disabilities, makes me want to get violent, and I feel weird about it.

I think a lot of us are with you there. It takes more charity (?) than most of us have ever heard of to move beyond that visceral rage.

These photographs are very Kate Chopin, The Awakening.

Kerri Russell both legit scares me and kinda turns me on at the same time. Her portrayal of Elizabeth is absolutely genius, and I really hope both her and Matthew Rhys end up with awards before the show the over. Actually, I hope every person involved gets gold at some point.

Agreed, I kind of hate this way of thinking about it. Maybe I’m being sensitive but it bugged me. I don’t let anyone come in my mouth, because I hate it and gag, period. I am not interested in having sex I don’t enjoy.

HEY THAT’S ME! I MADE THAT! True life, I cried a little bit when I got it in the mail, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen my father look at me with such pride.

I used a midwifery program that was part of a hospital (GW University Hospital in DC) and LOVED IT. I rotated through the midwives during my pregnancy, so I got to know all of them, and am still using my main midwife as my GYN. I really liked being in a hospital in case anything went wrong, but the midwives were…

These people are now wasting taxpayer money in two ways: 1) refusing to perform their jobs, which are publicly funded, and 2) necessitating additional lawsuits over an issue that has now been litigated to exhaustion.

I don’t understand why you find it rude though. You don’t invite people you don’t know to your wedding, generally speaking.

While no scientific studies have clearly shown a link between vaccines and autism, I’m definitely seeing one between Scientology and anti-vaxxer lunacy.

My mom does this too, and it’s bullshit. Yes, the way the telephone works goes both ways, but parent-child relationships do not. And definitely not when a parent is bullshit for a person’s entire life as a minor. You can’t just put your kid on ice until they turn 18 and say “well, you’re an adult now, act like one…
