Ugh, this is so annoying. Bieber isn’t blaming the pill - she very clearly and thoughtfully describes a complex health situation. If you actually watch the video, she’s very clear and chill about it. She says is that if you experience migraines you should disclose it to your doctor when getting on the pill. Which is…

I just had to chuckle a little reading this, because as a healthcare worker, literally everyday I have to navigate between helping keep the non-profit I work for remain financially afloat (which means horrible productivity levels), provide patient-centered care, and avoid liability. Acting as if liability doesn’t…
As a healthcare worker, I kind of am recoiling in horror at the major ethical gymnastics that would be required to try to justify that. I’m almost more worried about a healthcare worker who is okay with ruining the life of a young woman to do backwards PR that we don’t even know is necessary at this point than I am…
It actually is not an exception. Mandated reporting is not required in this instance. In spite of all GOP efforts, fetuses are not yet a protected class and abortion isn’t treated as a criminal offense.
In this case, somewhat, yes. Mandated reporting is not required in this instance. There was absolutely no need for the nurse to report it. The fact that the DA is not picking up the case further emphasizes the point that no law was broken. This healthcare worker was completely out of line and going against their…
Not quite - in spite of TX’s recent efforts, fetuses are not a protected class, so mandated reporting does not apply. Additionally, the way that TX wrote the work around with their abortion law makes it so that abortion itself is not criminal - it’s essentially a civil offense. Whoever in the hospital it was that…
are Americans with economic means going to start self-sorting into red and blue states to a much greater extent than we are today?
At this point, I feel like the only discussion of gender I can handle is a cheesy comedian opening with: “If you’ve ever held your keys like wolverine to walk to your car,” *offers mic to audience* “YOU MIGHT BE A WOMAN!”
Gonna need more sources on this. Not saying you’re wrong, but more sources are needed.
It is truly terrible, which also highlights the importance of having a justice system that follows the policies put in place so that people are convicted properly the first time. Think of Bill Cosby, who is now free not because he’s innocent, but because a prosecutor mishandled some information. What if this woman’s…
I’m equally tired of the idea that a confession is always ironclad, too. Police can say whatever they want and coerce you into practically denying your own identity. False confessions are more common than a lot of people realized.
Hey Jezebel - do y’all not follow the Innocence Project? They’ve been sharing about this for months - they got it on John Oliver. Do you not pick up stories anymore unless a celebrity Tweets about it?
I don’t know if it’s a big deal for everyone, but given how the Smith’s have been very vocal about the Academy/Oscars lacking diversity - I would agree that it is at least a big deal for this family.
I think context is key here. We often forget that all of this stuff - premiers, talk show interviews, awards shows - is part of a job. Yes - do people walk around slapping each other in the world? Absolutely. But this happened in a professional environment. If a friend slapped a friend at a party tonight - it would…
Same way people who aren’t Jewish and aren’t Palestinian like to explain to people how nuance is not acceptable when discussing violence in I/P. It’s a certain kind of progressive knee-jerk reaction that appears to stand in the place of actual progress. Love being educated by people whose goal is to limit…
God forbid nuance exist - especially in a situation like this where no one was in danger, but things got weird enough that we have something to carefully unpack. Black people are not a monolith. People with alopecia are not a monolith. Two things can be true at the same time. I suggest an internet break if you’ve…
This is such vague passive aggressiveness that I can’t even tell which part of what I said got under your skin. You either think Black women make this too much of a big deal or people with alopecia don’t matter in this conversation. Either way - weird thing to feel bothered about.
I believe it has to do with the fact that Black women have endured too much for us to understand what that moment was like for Jada and Will.
I rewatched the full clip today and what struck me the most wasn’t the slap or Smith’s words. It’s that moment of silence after Smith speaks. No one says a word in reaction to altercation. No one gets up to check on the involved parties. Everyone laughs with relief when after that moment of shock, Rock states,…
