No, it is the yam, not the sweet potato, which is estrogenic.

Some people would and some would not. However, it's a lot more important for biracial kids and children of color to live in communities that are not all-white, than it is for white kids, in terms of development and self-esteem. POC who grew up in all-white communities experience feelings of alienation and often social…

The mother clearly says that they are moving so their daughter can live in a more diverse community, not to "avoid racism."

I have watched that video countless times and it never gets old. She is just gorgeous.

Yes! Animated Batman is the best Batman.

"is it true, that in the US if you have no health insurance, you get no pain relief during labour?" No, this is not true.

"The big brains and the walking gave us enough of an advantage that we could lose a good chunk of individual members (women and babies) in childbirth but the species would still advance"

Someone should inform your doctor that the uterus is already full of bacteria, the ones that are in the vagina. The placenta is full of them, the uterus is full of them, the amniotic fluid is full of them. It's microbes all the way down. The idea that the uterus is sterile is an outdated belief that was never based in…

Yes, and this is a frequent consequence of frivolous arrest or police harassment.

Your assumption is that the child was in a place where she needed supervision. She is 9 years old and was at a playground.

Yeah, I did a lot of animal rescue (mainly reptiles) when I was young and I know people do a lot of stupid/cruel/irresponsible things. But some "rescuers" just assume that everyone has bottomless pocketbooks and enormous houses that can be filled with animals. Basically, these people were shitting on me for being a…

I think they took the full video down, I can't find it :(

"I get one minute in before they shout some insult and hang up. This happens aalll the time to everyone I work with."

You seem to have missed that it isn't a matter of "too much work." "I don't want to" is a perfectly good reason to refuse a telephone survey.

Wow. No wonder people don't want to talk to you! Hint: they aren't trying to avoid thinking, they are trying to avoid your BS.

What I hate is when I do find a stray and try to place it with a rescue, and the rescue gives me shit about it. I have pets of my own, I can't take any more, and that's just how it is. But I've encountered a few rescues who were very rude and just skirted accusing me of abandoning an animal. When I was trying to help…

This is actually kind of driving me nuts. I want to know why the striped shirts.

"Landslide" is a beautiful song. But this isn't "utterly listenable" - it's barely listenable. Her voice, which was never stellar, is totally shot and blown out. Her voice sounded strained and as though she had not enough breath.

I didn't watch the video: did she call herself "Lily" or ask people to call her that? Because if not, I think it's really disrespectful how many commenters here are calling her by a diminutive nickname.

It basically means "meadow with lilies and roses." I don't think that's ridiculous.
