When my son was in kindergarten, I consistently spoke up as the parent of a kid with autism, bringing those issues into conversations, and I worried that it would mark me as the Weird Mom, but after a couple of years I saw attitudes changing among the parents.

“Sodium lauryl sulfate is known to cause skin irritation to some who come in contact with the compound, and although it was once investigated by the American Cancer Society as a possible carcinogen. SLS, as it is also known, is found in many hair shampoos and toothpastes.”

(A) Sodium dodecyl sulfate (AKA sodium lauryl sulfate, SLS) is about as safe as you can expect a detergent to be.

I can’t wait for Hamilton’s gifs if he gets the boot.

They were yanking it off air, *marginalizing it to nothingness*, while filling the schedule with right wing zealots.

That’s not how you “support” a show.

“Restrictions aren’t the end of the world, we regulate a ton of medical procedures and medicines obviously.” This is factually inaccurate. Medical procedures are regulated by medical boards. Not by “us.” We don’t pass legislation determining how much anesthesia people get, or whether they are candidates for organ…

Actually, no. Teachers should make a good bit more than a living wage because their jobs require a college degree. The worst part about the whole ‘liberal arts degree? no wonder your broke” bullshit is that it devalues the concept of a college education justifying lower wages in fields that require higher education.…

That argument drives me nuts: we need people to do this job. We want people who are both talented and passionate. This pretty much applies to most any job. So WHY in the world shouldn’t they get at the very least a living wage and ideally a wage that reflects the bullshit lip service we love to pay about respecting…

We need to be paid more money! Especially since many of us are required to continue our education.

Before people start in on knowing how much they make before I made it my major, shut the fuck up.
