The people who are at risk of delivering a child with FAS are probably not going to be able to follow any advice regarding drinking during pregnancy.

False. Pregnancy begins at implantation.

Shark Week.

It is unrealistic and infantilizing though. Treating people as if they have no common sense may be ass-covering and technically defensible, but setting people up for guilt or failure does more harm than good. The advice “don’t drink unless you’re on birth control” pretends that birth control is universally accessible,…

Research also shows that drinking and smoking affect sperm... you know the other part of the equation. So the fact that they singled out women is a bunch of misogynistic bull crud. More and more it feels like America may be the international equivalent of Benjamin Button.

The infograph was downright insulting. “alcohol can result in pregnancy and STDs.” CDC, I think you’re missing a key component there. I mean, drinking a beer doesn’t magically give you herpes babies. Yet.

That was my read on it. Or she did know beforehand and just wanted to be onstage in the Oscars even if she is the butt of the joke.

I assumed that the silence was because she is so irrelevant that 90% of the crowd probably didn’t get the joke? You have to know that she’s been saying dumb shit to even get that he’s trolling. Somehow I don’t think most of the people in that room keep up with what Dionne is saying on Fox News.

That is why I use waze. I dont really speed anymore (70 in a 65 is my max..) but its nice to know that 100s of other people might be giving a nice break check in the area ahead. I found that this also does not mean that there is a speed trap, it could be a cop at an accident (accident not reported). Also in Maryland…

Why is it the woman’s job to ensure a man stand up for a child?

Would you approve or disapprove of an executive order by the president to ban all abortions except in the case of the life of the mother?

“We’d prefer that a executive order wasn’t used.”

So really, what they mean is they’d leave it in the hands of the states of slaveowners, meaning we’d probably still have slavery today. These assholes would have you believe it’d all happen eventually and democratically, but they know and we know that it’d never have…

The question did come after a question about executive orders more generally (at least in reporting, I don’t know if they randomized the order), but the fact remains that all the other candidates got massively smaller percentages than Trump did.

That would be a surefire way to guarantee than women never win, since the majority of good roles get written for and played by men.

You could click through and read about it yourself. The article is short. It’s a question of how they earn their living. I think their methods are more than fair.

Black Actress,

OH MY GOD DO YOU GUYS EVER TAKE A BREAK, GO READ A BOOK AND HAVE A CUP OF TEA AND DO SOME SUDOKU OR SOMETHING

It’s strangely uplifting, I think because they made a conscious decision not to make it into a thriller. There’s something obscenely routine about the imprisonment/abuse bit because there’s no shock in it for Brie Larson’s character or for her son. That is their life. The abuser is not a scary figure even though he is…

It was such a beautiful film, and a really nice representation of the experience of having to find your own way and grow into yourself in a new place. The part where Eilis is sailing back to New York and she’s able to give solid advice to a nervous first-time migrant made me cry like an idiot, because I’ve found…

i didnt love carol. it was fine, and it probably should have gotten a best picture nom but i was kind of like ‘oh okay’ at the end and i had been really looking forward to it
