SAME. It’s uncanny.
An autistic kid can be awesome or be an asshole or both, just like regular kids. But a dead kid is a dead kid. Source: proud mom of a mostly awesome autistic kid.
Oh they are just as bad as American anti-vaxxers, but may skew more towards the ignorant granola hippie demographic than the ignorant religious one (although we have those too).
Purely anecdotal but whenever someone writes an anti-vax post there seems to be a 9 in 10 chance that the spelling and grammar in said post will be atrocious. In short, some education can't hurt.
“I mean, she’s crazy,” he hissed.
Semi-counterpoint, while as an adult I agree that Cats is dreadful, as a little kid, seeing Cats and The Phantom of the Opera was awesome and sparked an interest in theatre and the arts. And oftentimes in smaller cities these shows are the only type of musical theatre that they get.
Post-partum depression, infertility and miscarriage are three things that affect scores of women and yet there’s still a bizarre sense of shame that many women feel when talking openly about their experiences. I’m always happy when people in the public eye work towards de stigmatizing topics that shouldn’t be taboo in…
Uh, Kendra is not exactly making the Playboy mansion sound LESS scary.
I’d hate these asshats slightly less if they just came out and said they want to punish women for having sex rather than cloak it in bullshit like “protect” and “empower”.
In Canada, when Trudeau became Liberal leader he basically told anyone who wasn't pro-choice to GTFO of the party. Dems should do the same.
I was kind of sad my husband and I were both poor when we got married because I LOVE the idea of prenups. I can’t comprehend why anyone with any kind of money wouldn't get one.
You would think a D&C would be a no-brainer, but I know people who had to wait even longer than me. I don’t know if it’s because we’re in Canada and doctors try to keep costs down?
Hugs right back at you.
Keep fighting the good fight.
A shitty blip in a relatively privileged life, so I can’t complain. But many, many women have similar or much worse miscarriage stories, which really sucks.
Trump loves kids. Just not ugly kids. Or Muslim kids. Or kids who have parents who weren’t born in America. Or kids with any sort of handicap. Y’know, LOSER kids.
I had chosen the dr because he was very well known, he was head of obstetrics at a large hospital. But zero fucking bedside manner. I ditched him after that incident for a female dr with a very small practice and she turned out to be amazing!
On the positive side, the dr that treated me at the ER was amazing, took me on as a patient and saw me through my subsequent pregnancies.
Even later they don’t do much...I had a missed miscarriage at 14 weeks (the fetus died but stayed in the womb). I had horrible contractions for a week along with a fever and my dr refused to see me, his receptionist told me to: “suck it up, it’ll come out eventually”. Finally my husband couldn’t take my suffering any…
