Yeah my summer vacations as a kid involved me watching my younger siblings for free, and then working for min wage once I turned 12. I’d take adult life any day.

How did vaping hash oil get voted out??? Smoking weed is one of the best things about adulthood! I guess I’m team Box Wine now...

This. I’m the breadwinner in my family right now, and going to work is keeping my family above water for now. While it would certainly be revolutionary if teachers, social workers, and nurses (and women in many other woman-dominant fields) would strike for a day, I can’t help but feel that’s impossible because so many…

There was an episode of This American Life about a kid who was deported to Mexico while in college. He had come to the states as a baby and spoke no Spanish. He was able to get the phone number of some relatives and was able to make it to them after being dumped in Juarez and wandering around homeless for a while.

I think you are completely right, and I’m really curious to see how this administration can de-legitimize Islam as a religion while championing religious freedom.

I really hope that Uber isn’t done yet, because they have become absolutely essential for an oft-forgotten group of people: the disabled. Low cost cabs have brought down the price of transportation and commuting for so many disabled people and allowed them to actually find jobs and get to work. In my rural town, using…

The version he plays live always ends with the wife shooting the husband, but they leave that verse off the radio version.

Omg this was my life as a crazy Christian teen!

Really?? Boyshort panties and swim bottoms are all I wear. Anything else won’t stay put and ride up in all he wrong places. Also I don’t shave the lady jungle.

Bob Goodlatte authored this and is pushing hard because he feels his own name was “dragged through the mud” this past election season when he was running for re-election in VA. It turns out that he and his wife stand to benefit from this natural gas pipeline being extended through his district, and his challenger Kali…

If someone decides they don’t want to keep a child at 8+ months, then labor could beinduced and the child put up for adoption. However, if it’s that late in the pregnancy then it’s better for the mother’s health to go into labor naturally. This whole partial-birth abortion thing that the forced-birthers are going on…

Thank you! For anyone familiar with Richmond, the context of this neighborhood changes the tone of the story completely.

I have the copper IUD and love it! Had it for about 2 years now. For the first year it made my periods heavier and cramps more painful than usual, but nothing a little Motrin can’t fix.

Ha, my husband gave me his mother’s ring from her first husband. It was ugly and seemed like a bad omen, but we’re still happy and married 5 years later.

You’re not alone. Even doctors and nurses who spend all day encouraging mothers to breastfeed and pump are often denied the proper accommodations to do it themselves.

Has nobody seen Riker hooking up with the androgynous species in TNG? Mrs. Troi and Odo on DS9? And there are many other examples of fluid sexual orientation. So yeah, a bi-flexible Sulu would not be radical or anything.

Thanks for posting. People need to know how important it is to support postpartum women and families, because it's such a fragile time and hard for people outside of immediate family and community to identify and treat PPD.
