Absolutely.

Saying ‘no more medical care’ is just dismissing all the hard work that palliative doctors and nurses do. Getting the drug mix right, looking after the syringe drivers, giving emotional support to the patient and family etc etc. It is a specialised area and the people who work in it are amazing.

It was described as ‘palliative care’ on NPR, for what that’s worth.

I found it totally insane that when my Mom was dying of Alzheimer’s, I had to be the one to bring up Palliative Care. And they would say, “oh no, no! Don’t worry, she’s not dying, no, it’s ok!: which I’m sure they thought was comforting to me, but really, was the the worst news ever because my Mom was suffering and…

Barbara Bush is a “fighter.” [Us Weekly]

They have been kicking the can down the road. I’m a teacher in Kentucky, and I pay 13% of my check to the pension fund. The state, on the other hand, hasn’t been funding their portion. They’ve been borrowing from the pension fund for years and now want to blame teachers for the shortfall. . The legislature needs to…

it’s total BitGhazi.

Stahl’s face in that screenshot will inevitable become a meme that will mean “What.... the fuck are you even talking about??”

That sentence confused me too.

I’m all for showing the snapchats, videos, tweets, etc... unedited with the cursing, the screams, and the bodies and the blood. Show it nightly. Show it everywhere. Don’t apologize for the content. Apologize for letting it happen. Let everyone see what it’s like to be in a room when an active shooter opens fire, what…

My daughter ages 11/12 was often confused for much older.

I hope during the shut down fight, someone reads the whole article on the Senate floor.

For some reason, your reply to Holy Hyena is completely different than your reply to me, despite the advice being nearly identical. I want to re-emphasize this: a stranger’s perception of you should not hold the same, or even remotely similar, importance as someone’s safety.

“How can I, as a man, do that? Without myself coming off as a creep?”

You can totally talk to her (from a socially acceptable distance), just ask how she’s doing, if she’s enjoying the weather (benign things, don’t ask where’s she’s going or what she’s up to). If you feel up to it tell the guy creeping on her to leave her alone, stop touching her, get the hell off the bus. If she was…

Let’s start a female led “Die Hard” rumor. Because nothing is sacred, fellas.

Are we sure those tweets are from Diddy and not from, oh, I don’t know, the guy who thinks he’s the best president we’ve ever had?

Hi Whitney,

I think you’re saying that yes, white people do that shit. Because that’s how I read it the first time, but I can also see how Hachi read it and from that perspective this looks bad. Your use of “oppression olympics” adds a lot more snark than the rest of your statement can handle without making the whole thing look…
