His victim cannot press charges at this point. The statute of limitations passed years ago.

It’s worse. All of the polyester in this stuff?? The fumes and pollution must outweigh any benefit

Twenty years ago, mine did. I think it’s a CYA thing, students have to prove that they have health insurance or buy into the university plan. It’s expensive, but with all of the Monopoly money I know that I had during college from student loan excess, it can make sense for some students. Also, that was before you…

Thanks! It has been a crazy year and a half, but my hair’s growing back and my current treatment is mostly pills to take at home. I have a book coming out in 2019 (a picture book) and I’m curating my first exhibition in 2020 (I work in a museum) biggest goal is to be here for those. 😊

One of the “dreary segments” you skipped was actually very important to a Jezebel audience. It was about a 31 year old with incurable metastatic breast cancer. As a 42 year old with MBC (diagnosed right off the bat as stage 4 metastatic without a family history, without drinking, smoking, or taking hormonal birth…

Just like Fredrick Douglass. 😳

It’s especially baffling because Susan Komen died of...wait for it...metastatic breast cancer...so not putting money towards it makes no sense.

Very true. Anything could have contributed to it. Stage 4 is the only incurable, terminal breast cancer, so treatment will be lifelong and the average lifespan is less than 3 years. It spreads to other organs and that is why it is fatal and incurable. It’s also called metastatic breast cancer. I had never heard of…

Thank you, friends and family have been the biggest biggest supports! Some stepped in like I’d never expected and I have been really supported.

Thank you.

Thank you, it’s been a difficult year but my medical team is awesome and quality of life is fine. You can have cancer spread to bones, brain and liver and walk around without knowing it! Only a small number of people are diagnosed right off the bat that late. But I’m still working full time, and my hair’s grown back…

Nope, never took a single birth control pill or other chemical birth control method in my whole life.

Relaxers and estrogen are interesting. I relaxed my hair from age 11 to 23 and at 42 was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer (that is estrogen receptive, which means it grows because of estrogen in my system). Right off the bat, was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. I didn’t drink or smoke, and lived a healthy…

The philly monument isn’t confederate. It’s of a racist mayor from the 1970s. It needs to go, but just wanted to clear up that Philly does not have any confederacy related monuments

My rapist (an elementary teacher who had charges dropped in the same county as the Cosby case—-by Castor, the same DA) gave talks about his “frightening experience of being wrongly accused” to a national NEA conference (his teachers union that covered his legal fees for him). It was infuriating and nauseating but…

Wegmans would, but I wonder if amazon wanted something that was already widespread? Wegmans in most places I’ve lived (eastern seaboard) was always a store with one or two locations, never close by.

Friends schools are Quaker.

First paragraph names the wrong museum. It’s The metropolitan museum. Not MOMA.

I have metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer. Spread to bone, liver and brain and diagnosed right off the bat (I was 41 and had never had a serious health problem),incurable but manageable for a few years with constant treatment. If treatment caps return to private health insurance plans, I will die. In less than a…

What is “a healing of cancer”? Is that remission? I do have terminal breast cancer, but I’ve never heard anyone describe the ups and downs of cancerous lesions in that way.
