Sara’s father may have sexually abused her when she was 4. Given Sara’s IQ, Dana is a product of rape/iffy consent. Yeah, let’s let another little girl live in that home.

I agree that her only getting 2 hours a month to see her baby is bullshit, though I’m inclined to believe there is a lot more to the story than we know especially if her own parents were sketchy and in the system themselves.

Sigh. I have a learning-disabled parent with a below-average IQ. Not 70, but not great. I have a lot of feelings about this article but I’ll sum it up with, “I think intellectually disabled people can be great parents, but they are also not always ideal parents and their children will face many, many hurdles that go…

Why is it those people are only upset about that when it’s not about white dudes? Like oh sure, it’s okay for straight white men to only ever read about other straight white men, but god forbid anyone else wants to see themselves represented.

After Dana’s placement, Sara was initially allowed to see her daughter for one hour each week with the brief help of her own mother and the supervision of a social worker.

I love her and her glasses and her earrings and her happy face and her miiiind.

I love to see a child passionate about books!

When I was in kindergarten (in the 70s) we had alphabet dolls. All were male except the vowels. And we were taught that the consonants “protected” the vowels because they were female. Seriously. Public school.

You are incredibly dumb and really should pick up a book on critical thinking. I feel so sorry for you.

Male teachers can afford to be ‘cool’, whereas female teachers have to be obviously formal and professional because being female means people automatically think of you as less professional.

They have to be. Otherwise they’d be seen as less effective. Oh wait. They are either way.

Hey, laser pointers are nice and all, but there’s nothing like having things pointed out by an erect penis. Can’t do that, can you ladies?

the “Abortion Float”

Many of the good upstanding protesting Christian men were shocked at the sight of breasts as these were the first they’d seen since viewing porn the night before.

It’s been a bit nippy on both coasts I see.

I feel kind of bad admitting this, but when I see plus-size modeling campaigns I feel kind of bitter and sad for one reason: almost every plus-size model I can think of from a major campaign has a flat/nearly-flat stomach (or is at least photoshopped to look like they have one). So I’m torn between trying to be happy…

As a cat, I think of myself as hate based.

She has a body very similar to mine. Now to watch people pick her apart and feel like garbage.

Can we go with average-sized instead? All bodies are normal bodies, unless we’re perhaps talking about medical literature.
