The Catholic Church is rotten through and through. That’s why the whole “cool pope” thing perturbs me. It’s just putting a friendly face on the same old viciousness and corruption. He comes to Ireland next month and I’ll be amazed if he apologises for the immense damage they caused.

right?  this had to be straight up racism.  and it’s disgusting.  Fired and charged with negligent homicide should be the punishment, at the least.  this is heartbreaking.

Yeah but these medics bigoted beliefs are being reinforced the Bigot and Chief. They didn’t think she was human and worthy of their time. This poor woman and her poor family.

Fired!?  They should be charged with manslaughter if it can be proved their negligence led to her death. 

Crystle Galloway, were told they couldn’t afford the ambulance ride because they didn’t have insurance.

I always feel like, if you’re going to pick THE scary old guy of Twin Peaks, it’s Bob:

“His dad was the scary old guy in Twin Peaks.”

Additionally, rural hospitals are closing their maternity wards, putting proper care completely out of reach for many

Funny thing about “safety and comfort”. I was offered Percocet many times immediately after giving birth (even after repeatedly refusing it), my blood pressure wasn’t checked once.

Funny what happens when you consider the health of the woman carrying the fetus less important than the fetus, and the health of the baby that’s born always a higher priority than the health of the woman who just gave birth.

Because they’re sociopaths.  Somehow Paying a la cart for all of the things that they rail against instead of paying the same or a similar amount (obviously depending on income) for the SAME services is better because...capitalism I guess?

I mean, I have no kids and I never want kids. I’m not even particularly fond of most kids. That has no impact on whether I want them educated or not though. I don’t want to live in a society with no educational prospects available to the majority of its children. Besides, child is the father of the man and all, these…

Because right-wing media has them frothing at the mouth that “their” tax money goes to “undeserving” others, so they’re willing to screw themselves just so no one else gets anything.

Yeah, but breathing is pretty joyful, so...

Sparking joy doesn’t mean it makes you want to skip in sun-drenched meadows (though certainly if it gives you that feeling, that’s part of it). It means, amongst other things, that you’re happy to keep something. If you’re happy to keep tools and things because you use them and it keeps you from having to pay to fix…

Yeah, we’d be a lot better off if Republicans hadn’t been lying for decades about how public education is a failure.

I am also confused by this product since she clearly recommends the opposite in her books.

If you read her book, she clearly says that there are some object that have a function and the function they serve may bring joy even if it’s not easily apparent.  Therefore, your tools serve a purpose and would not be required to be thrown out into the garbage. 

The “how are they going to pay for it?” dismissal is just a tactic, and it’s been used so many times it’s pretty much a verbal tic at this point. It is exactly as unserious a criticism as the right-winger is accusing the socialist of being. When pay for all kinds of shit all the time. We the military needs another…

I enjoy Kondo’s books and I do think tidying up is life-changing, but I don’t understand two things about these boxes:
