Unrelated but Jezebelles in Alberta: thoughts and prayers. 😘

Sure, but every worker — childfree or not — was once a baby and child who needed parental care.

Though what you say is true, I think you missed the point of the article. The point is that maternity leave shouldn’t be the only way for a person to get a large chunk of time off of work. That childless/childfree women and working mothers have a common enemy in the corporate culture that doesn’t allow any of us (or…

I dunno, I *get* the outrage. This whole “meternity” thing shows that most people think maternity leave is a perk or a vacation and not a necessary time to heal after EXPELLING A HUMAN BEING FROM YOUR BODY ONE WAY OR ANOTHER! I mean, the fact that maternity leave still isn’t mandatorily(ok i made that word up) paid…

I’m also very likely to remain childless because I simply CANNOT afford it. Daycare in my area is the equivalent cost of rent on a 1-bedroom apartment. Not to mention everything else. I make decent pay, but I’ve done the math on it and I would be back to living hand-to-mouth. And as much as living in poverty for the…

I think we do a major disservice when we depict animals like chimpanzees as basically people and tigers as large house cats and so forth. Most people have no idea how dangerous chimpanzees are, that they wage wars against other groups and literally tear enemy chimpanzees apart. There are light years of distance…

I mean, maybe, but it’s probably more likely that she thought of it and treated it like it was her child rather than an animal capable of hurting someone that badly.

Now I can tell my monkey-loving friends that THEY’RE the crazy ones!! (But seriously, I was a biology major in college and EVERYTHING I learned about primates made me just more afraid of them. They’re like the id without the ego and superego. They have SO MANY deadly diseases.)

On May 25, 2010, 15 months after the attack, the Associated Press reported that Sandra Herold had died of a ruptured aortic aneurysm at the age of 72.^[1] Her attorney, Robert Golger, released the following statement: “Ms. Herold had suffered a series of heartbreaking losses over the last several years, beginning with…

Chimps are a perfectly rational thing to be afraid of; they’re vicious little bastards. I’d love to interact with a gorilla or an orangutan but nothing on earth would get me in physical contact with a chimpanzee.

I don’t think that’s heartless to say considering that it wasn't her face and digits that got ripped off by the chimp she was so stupidly keeping in her home.

i think you are just viewing them accurately bb

First of all, she is amazing for giving her all to this experiment. I hope that science advances far enough that face transplants (or 3D-printing faces!!) are a real possibility for everybody.

I don’t think bullying is the right word, but it’s semantics. There is still a big difference between what they did and just doing something she didn’t like. She might not like a dress they put her in, or the way they did her makeup. But trying to change her fundamental attributes as if she can’t be pretty WITH those…

its a post of love for caroline cruz

I think in this case it might be in the sense that body image is so intrinsic to the way that the media portrays self-worth that saying someone’s whole face needs to be fixed is a pretty heavy attack. I would prefer if she had mentioned bullying in the broader sense, or just shaming in general - that by “fixing”…

I’m gonna have to disagree with that. It’s not just something she didn’t like. It is not like they just posted a picture of her at an unflattering angle or something.

He’s so mean! He’s not even funny. I know people like this in real life and everyone loves them because they’re “so funny” until the “funny” is turned on them.

He is right, after all.

Sometimes the lowest-hanging fruit tastes the sweetest.
