I have friends who have children, and I *used* to purchase/look at baby gifts - clothes, diapers, strollers, etc. on line. I was flooded with advertising for all things baby-related, even though I was looking at items for other people. I can’t deal with the onslaught, so I started to shop in stores, or send my…

Not trying to defend those two... but there are limits to compensantion for surrogacy in the sate of California.

As someone who is from and still lives in the deep south...... snatch a knot is like.... not a term I have ever heard in my life. Maybe I’m not as Southern as I think I am? But like... Who the fuck talks like that. He’s just trying to be down home folksy, truth-sayin’ Southerner, and he’s not.

Right, of course. STEM projects such as “penis detector for bathroom entrance selection,” “apparatus to prevent groin protuberances,” and, my favorite, “algorithm for selecting best place to defecate in a wooded area.”

I was a bit delighted at the fact that biotech bros were mentioned. I mean, other than finance bros, can we think of any group that’s more rife with men who probably shouldn’t reproduce?

How is this a bad thing?

We are fine with sending teens out to war to handle weapons and well armed enemies. We allow teens to vote in elections, helping to decide the most powerful office on the planet. But God forbid they have a smoke, that’s a bridge too far.

My father killed my mother and then himself 3 weeks ago. These suicide headlines hit me so hard now. I’m 35 and strong enough to handle this; I can’t imagine how it would be for a child.

“the judge says he would have preferred to make it higher if it were allowed.”

That is absolutely horrifying. This is where it really becomes obviously that they simply don’t care about women - they’re so hell bent on limiting reproductive choice that they don’t care if they also kill women who are doing the “right” thing (in their minds) by trying to have babies and it might go wrong.

Also, D&Cs are an absolutely critical aspect of women’s health care entirely apart from abortion. I bet we all know multiple mothers who would have died or become sterile without one - it is not uncommon to need one after an incomplete miscarriage or retained products of conception after the birth of a child. I can…

Should we also mention that abortions are not just performed to end a pregnancy. Many women who had miscarriages have D&Cs performed.

Bob Marshall is a boil on the taint of our General Assembly. Just to see him gone would be enough, but for Roem to beat him? Sweet, sweet justice.

As a major Doctor Who fan, I completely agree with you. When the show was put on an 18 month hiatus in the 80s they actually made a charity single (a la We Are The World) to try to get it back on the air. It was called “Doctor in Distress” and it was just... you’d have to see it for yourself. There’s a joke that the…

I absolutely cannot wait for this movie. The whole back story with Marston is fascinating. And I’ve always liked how kinky as hell early WW is. That tends to get brushed over in the modern representation but it’s just fascinating.

Interesting that they are portraying the two women as intimate partners.

Whovians (Doctor Who fans) are a crazied bunch. I used to work at a bar that had Doctor Who happy hour (we’d show an episode and have drink specials one day a week) and when we ran out of episodes we got calls, emails, pissed off patrons yelling at us to start it over rather than find a new show. They even started a…

I’m in as long as they do one for Kinja.

Only rich people can afford not to keep stuff around. You don’t need a junk drawer or a utility closet if your cleaning lady and maintenance man bring their own equipment; you don’t need to hang on to tubs of clothing if your kids don’t have to grow into hand-me-downs; you don’t have as much clutter from hobbies and…

Tiny houses are upper middle class poverty fantasies. Same with “open concept” floor plans. You want to live in a small house and “do with less” ? Do it while making poverty wages
