Allahu Aloha Akbar

while this is, of course, true

God I just want hundreds of women to flock to this beach wearing a burkini in protest. See what they fucking do then.

from the boston globe:

Her new biz is a management business. For management. Representing and publicizing models, actresses, maybe other entertainment-related folks? We’ll see. Her foundation is a not-for-profit devoted to women’s issues, and in particular to fighting the shaming of victims. Has existed since at least last year.

Someone can dedicate their life at any moment, though. It doesn’t necessarily mean their entire past. If it’s her new vow, it’s a good one.

She is so unapologetically herself, and after weathering fragile egos determined to keep her down. I love her.

And child brides aren’t rape victims?

I say that if pursuing this calling helps her feel better, then we leave her be. She’s not likely to convince anyone of anything, nor harm anyone else.

I feel like a person whose introduction to porn was their rapist abductor kind of doesn't have the most level starting point for a conversation about the subject. But maybe that's just me.

There were at least 15 people in the room when she was born - I was there so long that there were shift changes and it was a quiet night so everyone seemed to meet me at some point. I was told that I had become a little famous for being in active labor longer than anyone that year, for screaming for longer than anyone…

Fast labors are overrated. You want to be in labor, at minimum, four hours. It’s hard on the body, the baby and your brain when they shoot out of you. Signed - someone whose last kid came out in 33 minutes, start to finish.

Well. My active labor with my second child happened in less than two hours. If my husband hadn’t broken the speed limit and blown through a couple of red lights (this was at 2am, nobody on the road, fortunately) the kid would’ve been born in the car. As it was, I was in the ER for all of five minutes and the OB on…

It must have something to do with the air pressure. Or something. The same thing that causes me to get a massive zit in the middle of my face that I definitely didn’t have when I boarded.

“I’d replied that his generation was the first one to have grown up completely under the false emergent, purpose driven, emotional, romantic, mystical model.” My AP US History was a decade ago, but I think this has been a complaint since the Second Great Awakening. Probably earlier!

Actually, I think Trump and Suri are the same person. Have we ever seen them in a room together at the same time? Think about that.

FACED!

It’s odd to see so many replies—-on Jezebel of all places—-questioning the mother’s right to breastfeed wherever she damn well pleases.

If you wait, sometimes even ten minutes, you get mastitis. Mastitis fucking sucks. Also when you have a kid their crying triggers engorgement and milk flow- which hurts if there’s not a tiny hot mouth getting the milk out. Also it hurts a mother’s soul and is extremely distressing. Nature!

It has nothing to do with babies “starving.” As a matter of fact, I’m nursing my daughter right now (at home), but I have no qualms about nursing in public. I don’t use a cover, either (I’ve tried but she hates it and I’m not going to wrestle a baby who has my nipple in her mouth). And while sure, the baby CAN wait,…
