I have to face the door. In rooms, in my office at work...

PEOPLE MUST VOTE. It has been pretty much confirmed that even in red states, the people who make the rules, senators, congress people, governors, are only supported by about 30 percent of the population. Historically people who tend to support democrats and more liberal people don’t vote. They let the 30 percent who…

Thanks for writing this. While I’ve been fortunate to never be sexually assaulted, something I’m finding so rare to the point that people sometimes don’t believe me, I’ve been the subject and Target of men’s laughter. “Without ever raising my voice I feel like i’ve spent the whole week screaming.” Yes.

Yes! I love how the OPs mother is hard on others and the OP, yet can’t seem to understand that her constant losing and gaining of weight shows that whatever her strategies are, do not work. People don’t seem to understand how bad weight cycling is. The more often you gain and lose, the harder it is to lose each time,…

So, I went back on my SSRI and nursed, it’s apparently a safe one, but maybe it’s down to dosage? I also think they freak out and overestimate how much gets in milk.

How old is your baby? I can’t believe you were judged and thrown out of a mommy group.... WHAT? I’m assuming you told them why you weren’t BF (of course, it’s no ones business, but wow.)

I’m super fortunate in that I have an office with a door. For both my kids, i would leave my little breast pump on my desk and plugged in. Then I could attach parts etc, and pump at my desk while working and/or reading the internets. My second time around though I ceased giving two shits. I had the bra that allowed…

So I’m a bit old, so I don’t remember what I learned relative to Hellen Keller (other than you know how she learned to do all these things being blind and deaf) but I found a book in my elementary school library when I was probably in 4th or 5th grade that was a biography of Anne Sullivan, who was amazing in her own…

So fortunately, as a white person I had already figured out this “don’t touch people” rule a while a go. A black woman who was wearing a lovely suit was walking ahead of me and also had natural hair. I think she was going somewhere work related, so I said to her “excuse me, you have a leaf in your hair and tried to…

I’m white and have relatively boring hair. But my secretary does like to touch it, but it is a totally different situation. I’ve known her for 13 years and it’s a very maternal thing for her, and again, we know each other. Even she, who is a mothering, affectionate person would never in a million years touch someone…

When I was pregnant I had no strangers touch me. My mother and my friends yes, but no one else. I’ve never understood how it is that strangers think they can touch you....

So true. In fact I can always remember distinct times when I’m laughing because something is funny. There are a few things I can think about now that I will cackle at my desk by myself...

I feel you are me. I too often think about this. In fact, having kids makes you really think about it. Babies laugh way before they talk. And the weirdest things make my 14 month old laugh. Like when his dad does Jack Nicholson impressions from the Shining. 

So the one besides Boogie Nights that I can think of is Kevin Bacon in Wild Things. I wonder if that is a double?

I’m not a shrink but doesn’t that seem obvious. There are plenty of examples of Trump in his 30's and 40's where he was able to communicate effectively, including using complex sentences and discussing complex issues. He was never the most articulate, but he communicated in a style that indicated a modicum of…

Thank you. I’m sick of this shit. It’s tragic. Whoever this person is, and I’m convinced it’s a man, not sure why, is admitting that he and pretty much everyone else, is well aware this president is a disaster. Not only does he lack the aptitude to do the job, he’s dangerous. And this blurb linked above shows that…

Based on my experience, he will be terminated. And the family can sue the department. Hopefully if they know what’s good for them, they’ll pay up without much prompting.

I’m sure people have said this, but at this point, the battle must be at the state level. The real truth that Republicans like to ignore, is that most people, a very significant majority, believe abortion should be legal. While many of these people believe there should be some form of limits, most people still would…

So just to add to the last bit, he absolutely regretted choosing Palin. He wanted to nominate Joe Lieberman and was told that due to Republican rules, the nomination would probably not be approved. So they told him to pick Palin. He knew instantly it was a mistake and acknowledged that the pick contributed to the…

It really depended. Sometimes it was pretty explicit. I mean, not close ups, but no blankets, etc.
