i’m hungarian and there is a wonderful blog about adoption here written by a journalist who is an adoptive parent herself.

Provide free or at least affordable access to birth control and abortions to all women to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies, and then provide a safety need like paid parental leave and affordable day care to help women who found themselves pregnant in less than ideal circumstances and want to keep the child.

No. Make the United States a place where a woman doesn’t have to choose between shelter and supporting her child. If we had stronger social safety nets and more pro-family policies, women would be less likely to choose adoption.

Can’t find the source, but will paraphrase:

Well done, you!

Very true. So many people were quick to dismiss his accusers and the girl from the rape tape as fast girls who went after Kelly. Even now people will say those girls wanted to be with him and should have known what they were getting themselves into. Can you imagine someone saying that about a 13 year old white girl? I…

It sounds like Average Anna has a pretty good time until she gets married and has kids.  That was obviously her mistake.

Anybody know Anna’s phone number?

Bob Saget? There’s no way he’s not due for his own accusations to come out. That guy has always seemed creepy

Do what I plan to do: write your own and prepay an outlet to publish it. Say whatever you want.

As I get older, I realize how irrationally lucky I was with my ex bf stalker. My school took the complaint seriously. They blocked all of his phone numbers from the entire college exchange (he would call random college numbers and ask about me, ranting at my slutty behavior). They reminded my entire dorm (and campus…

I think if the detective actually did his job investigating the case, the harassment should have been enough to get his parole revoked. At a bare minimum it should have gotten him in front of his PO.

“SQUIRTED MIXTURE OF BLEACH AND WATER INTO RECTUM WANTING TO PREVENT AIDS”

My mother in law, for 5 long birthday and Christmas filled years, gave me monogrammed presents- with the wrong monogram. I mean, I took his last name when we got married! We spoke to her about it, but it didn’t finally stop until our first child was born.

I’m confused about why they wanted her to stand in the first place? There were no chairs available, and she had a small child. There is no telling how long she would have been waiting in that office. What if she had a medical condition in which she had pain if she stood for long periods of time? What the fuck do they…

I want to take that girl out for ice cream.

But what movie are they watching?

Here’s one: When I was in college, I sublet a house built with no foundation or insulation - about 100 yo. Only heating was from a woodstove. But it was CHEAP ($50/mo) so I dealt with it. Always heard things from the attic, but they turned out to be squirrels living there. One evening I’m reading with my cat in my…

I feel like this is missing context? Why would she be targeted like this?
