All of that, every bit of it, could have been avoided by having my tiny sleeping infant next to me while I worked

I think breastfeeding moms should be able to bring their babies with them most places when appropriate (by appropriate I mean places that are safe for baby).

Youppi was created in 1979. While Seasame Street had a red baby monster character, the name Elmo wasn’t coined until 1984. And yes, I kind of hate myself for taking the time to research this. 

Sorry, Gritty seems like a cheap knockoff of the Canadiens Youppi (who was apparently so beloved, Montrealers kept his orange ass after the Expos folded.)

You sound like you’d be super fun to invite to a book club.

I, for one, love these shirts in the same way I love Confederate flag and MAGA merch. It tells you right away that the person is an asshole and should be avoided at all costs, as demonstrated by Jared Leto above. 

Thanks for specifying. 

All of the republicans on the committee are men. There are women among the dems. 

Of course the Committee that Ford will be facing is all male. What a shocking surprise. 

Her description also sounded like chores to me. However it would be abusive if only certain siblings were required to perform those tasks, while others were not. 

Can confirm. I DID have an idyllic 80’s childhood and still remember things like going to the corner store weekly with my friend at 8 and 9 years old to buy beer, wine and cigarettes for her grandma. Her grandmother would give us a quarter each for this service and no one batted an eye about it. My son is turning 8…

TBH, I live in a place where breast feeding is heavily pushed and think I was slightly brainwashed when it came to breastmilk vs formula. I had envisioned floating around in a maxi dress, drinking herbal iced tea and popping my baby on my breast whenever it wanted. Both my kids turned out to be tiny five pounders and…

As someone who collectively spent nearly two years pumping every 3-4 hours this gives me a tinge of PTSD. Although I must say, as a seasoned pro, I’m not familiar with the technology this lady is sporting. Being able to walk around might have alleviated some of the bovine feeling of pumping. 

Because if history’s taught us anything, it’s that the GOP takes sexual misconduct extremely seriously. 

My two bff’s got divorced fairly recently. Bought them both vibrators and they watched female produced internet porn. Seamless transition. 

Also, she is the first Japanese player to win a Grand Slam, which is a big deal. 

You will never again have nothing to do on a weekend with a house. BUT you have a place to keep your crap. Congrats. 

The older I get, the more the term hysterical provokes a cold, decidedly unhysterical, fury.

Serena is the best athlete her sport has ever known and doesn’t get anywhere near the adulation she deserves from inside said sport.

Came here to say exactly this. Maternal mortality rates in the US have been steadily increasing since 2000. The US has the worst maternal mortality rate in the developed world. If anything there should be MORE protestors.
