As a lawyer, I feel comfortable saying that this person needs a refresher course in justification defenses.

The culprit was subsequently imprisoned in a large maze structure—this proved to be a mistake.

Oh my god, in my day it was “come look at my CD collection,” and I am so, so old.

Also, nowadays I might not even get the hint. Netflix and chill is what I love to do. I never had any interest in anyone else’s CD collection.

(although most NY’ers would prefer to annex SI to New Jersey).

Keep in mind she’s been married to him since she was 19 years old. She was barely out of childhood (he was 26). It’s possible they are equal partners. But it seems likely she’s been in an emotionally abusive relationship with a narcissist since she was a teenager and doesn’t know anything else.

My husband is an artist. Went to art school for undergrad, no grad school.
I went to a fancy undergrad, fancy law school, fancy masters program.

If it were Tolkein it would have been 120 pages and in Elvish.

You know that comedy bit about “This is your rape!” where a female comedian talked about how every woman has at least one moment in their life when they think, “Oh, this is going to be it—here’s my rape. I was wondering how it would happen and here it is.”

You already know this, but you have such an important and difficult job, so thank you for doing it and for doing it with such dedication and care.

It’s the law that ERs must give you an examination to determine if you have an emergency medical situation, and to stabilize you if you do.
Before federal law to this effect was passed, hospitals would turn away patients, based on inability to pay or race.

And it was legal, because until the hospital agreed to treat…

Except you’re not really “damned if you do” because it’s your job to do a thorough and appropriate examination (and also federal law). Weigh the consequences of treating her vs. not treating her, too.

It’s possible they did a thorough and appropriate examination here, and that an appropriate examination didn’t reveal…

You are confusing me with another Funke, Surely.

Dear Governor Christie,

I was a geeky girl in high school. Evelyn is what I wanted to name my daughter.
Esme is what I did.

Doesn’t encourage kids to have sex? I don’t know. Ever since I got my tetunus shot, I am absolutely reckless around rusty metal.

I wanted it. I wanted it all.

They may know the basics, but they also know a lot of myths. Like you can’t get pregnant when you have your period, or that withdrawal works, or that you can douche with cola to prevent pregnancy (yes, really).
And forget about them knowing anything about what feels good for women or about real consent and respect for…

Still less creepy than half the Renaissance paintings of baby Jesus.

You have to invest time in it! I studied my dad’s signature for a while and even practiced quite a bit before doing any forgeries. I didn’t attempt my mom’s because my dad’s was much easier.
Now that I have a kid, I have to clean up my signature. Messier ones that end in a scribble are so much easier to forge.

I wish the GOP would spend less time worried about what’s going to lose my vote and more time thinking about WHY THAT WOULD BE.
