Absolutely. Its almost like.... make judgements based upon the child’s developmental level and your own assessment of the environment. Crazy I know. Unfortunate side as well is that it means you can’t read a parenting book based on some trend piece and call it a day, you have to like... remain conscious and shit.

California could also inform the women about its services “without burdening a speaker with unwanted speech,” most obviously through a public-information campaign.

The bill also required unlicensed clinics to notify clients that they were not licensed by the state to provide medical services.

I read this story last night and its goddamn awful all over but one thing that really stuck out to me. To the doctors who protected this guy: fuck you. You have a duty to your patients. Not some fucking system. Not your other doctors. If a patient comes to you and you can see there has been dangerous misconduct you.…

And yet you have no problem working for a man who signed an executive order to protect “religious liberties” to allow so-called “Christians” to deny service to anyone they don’t like (also known as people of color and those who are LGBTQIA). Of all the lies that have spewed forth from your vile mouth, “I always do my…

I’m glad she’s pushing back on some of it because to be honest it’s one of the things that’s disappointed me about the show, that Rainbow seems to work the ‘second shift’ of all the childcare/housework and that dynamic doesn’t seem to be interrogated very much. She’s supposed to be an example of this strong 21st…

Here’s what makes me so angry about this: The fact that they were able to reunited them so quickly after the lawsuit indicates that they could have done so much, much sooner and either through incompetence or obstruction (maybe both) they did not.

I want to truly celebrate this victory, but I feel like it’s 1 down, 2299 to go. We can’t stop the pressure on anyone until all of those families are reunited.

I’m still pissed the original Rosanne reboot was a thing. It is just so pathetic. They didn’t even have to be original, they could have copied Curb Your Enthusiasm and done a spiritual successor without actually doing an complicit reboot. Just have Sara as the mom, the progressive family she wanted and have the cast…

I read this book 2 summers ago for a reading challenge and immediately fell in love. It’s so great at covering so many topics while being light and charming too. There’s 2 other books in this saga (if you read the 2nd then you must read all 3 for the true conclusion) but you could also be content to just read this and…

Jane was clearly a close friend. 

Our immigration laws are the weakest and worst anywhere in the world,

Getting rid of the Flores settlement has been in John Kelly’s sight for a while now. As ex head of DHS he is uniquely familiar with it. The rules around it can be difficult for ICE, but are necessary to the health and well-being of the children. Getting rid of it would be the height of evilness. It’s not just a…

I won’t watch this.

I know we laugh about “economic anxiety”, but the fact is that as inequality continues to skyrocket, more people feel insecure and fearful.

Most children under five when frightened and scared in a high-stress situation, like fleeing a war-torn hell country to a new place, probably won’t be able to clearly articulate mom and dad’s legal names.

Fun fact- it’s the same biblical verse they used to justify slavery

Caught this unreassuring paragraph in one news story out of San Diego:

I keep hearing people say what can we do, what can we do, like what the fuck do you think the last election was, voting for your favorite contestant to stick around on American Idol. I understand that many people did vote and more voted for Hillary than for Trump, but in many states, including the ones like Ohio,…

“I would cite you to the Apostle Paul and his clear and wise command in Romans 13,” he said, grinning, “to obey the laws of the government because God has ordained the government for his purposes.”
