Something that constantly pisses me off about anyone who argues for internships is this basic lesson in economics.
It goes like this:

“You’re only doing it for the money though” - funny how nobody ever says this to me about my day job.

Imma start a list of things that every single sexworker is sick to fucking death of hearing:

No, that’s not how it goes. They fired her because she is a Catholic who didn’t get married according to the rites of the Catholic Church. If she was straight and got married in Vegas the same rules would apply.

I was a teacher at a Catholic school for many, many years. When you are hired, you sign a contract agreeing to abide by the teachings of the Catholic Church. You know that you can be fired for acting publicly in a way that brings “scandal” on the church. (Not agreeing; just explaining.)

But it wouldn’t just be decreased inhibition and increased suggestibility. It would have to also be a severe disregard for animal life,  vastly decreased problem solving skills, and an inability to make competent decisions while caring for a pet.

She wasn’t forced to do anything. She literally flushed a living creature down the toilet of her own volition. I’ve got my own panic disorder and I’m trying to empathize but this is just baffling.

She’s been on Younger with Sutton Foster for 4 years, which is a million times better than it has any right to be.

Had it six times (yep) before I started weaning my kid. 104 degree fever, intense breast pain. Fun times!

Really? People are so funny about bodily fluids. Like men expect us to swallow their cum (and LOVE it) but they couldn’t suck on a lactating nipple for a moment? Your hubby isn’t alone. I’ve heard the same reaction from husbands of friends. It strikes me as so backwards!

It’s definitely no joke. I know it’s not quite analogous, but mastitis can kill dairy cows if it’s not caught and treated quickly.

Just wanted to say I see this and I agree with you (it sucks that you went through that). My mother was assaulted by a neighbour as a teenager and never told her dad because she figured the first thing he’d do is go over there and knock him out (and he was fairly mild mannered, too).

Well no, not really. You can’t disapprove of vigilante justice and then approve of a guy going outside of the law and beating on a person in custody. Those two things contradict each other.

Vigilante justice is not great. Larry’s going to die in prison, no need for anyone else to ruin their life over him.

My cousins have had yorkies and other dogs that were ratters. They are absolutely relentless in trying to get to the hamster, and can’t be in the same room as any rodent. They’re absolutely frantic. My cat will occasionally pounce toward Joe’s bin, but mainly she just watches in fascination.

The problem is that while service dogs are trained rigorously, there isn’t a standard for emotional support animals. You can go online to a website, pay $50-$200 and take a shady questionnaire and get a certificate mailed to you along with a vest. Or you can just buy a vest and claim it. I have a dog under a year old,…

Pheasants are not emotional supports, they are delicious roasts!

One of my hot button issues is when pet owners’ irresponsibility makes their pets a problem for others. I’m still pissed years later that our next door neighbor criticized small infractions like leaving the trash bin out too long, while she allowed her dog to shit all over our yard. It was disgusting. It’s inexcusable…

A stress hardiness class I attended had the instructor’s 2 therapy dogs hanging around. Despite both dogs have tons of training and being incredibly well behaved to the point where they could visit hospitals, they still didn’t even come close to meeting the qualifications for service animals. I think many of those who…
