Private rescues and public shelters are two different things. Many rescues have ridiculously strict rules, but most city and county shelters don’t — they don’t have the money or time to do that kind of vetting even if they wanted to.

I had one baby in my twenties and one in my thirties and if the toll it takes on your body is the only consideration, oh my gosh, have all your babies in your twenties. It is so much easier. Of course, that’s not the only consideration at all, so I’m glad if these means women have more choices about reproduction.

Pro tip, everyone: Don’t fry in olive oil because it has too low a smoke point. Use peanut or canola oil to fry so you don’t stink up your apartment and set off the smoke detector.

If the Russians feel comfortable enough to come here and troll over this stuff, it’s over.

Same old story: Selfish, Republican shithead winds up in a situation where they have to actually use the social benefits which they have heretofore spent so much time and effort railing against. Lightbulb turns on over their head and they realize the value of social programs. Lather, rinse, repeat.

I have personally know two different monogamous couple in which both the man and woman were using birth control and they BOTH had pregnancy scares despite properly using aformentioned prophylaxis.

The “justification” for an abortion is that the patient wants one, period. Your idea of what the “right reasons” (I can only imagine what those are in your worldview) for an abortion matter not one whit to anyone who is not you. Abortion is often PRECISELY for people who want to correct mistakes made in bed that…

As a knitter, I’m always thrilled when friends are pregnant with girls, just because the patterns out there for girls are SO much better than the boy patterns. (Which is kind of ridiculous and retrograde-sexist, but there you go.)

Chiropractor: a twelve-letter word for “someone who is not a doctor who wants you to think he’s a doctor.”

I really don’t get people crapping on Anne Hathaway. She’s always seemed so intelligent; kind; well-spoken; humble; NOT assholelish at all. Maybe she seemed a bit pretentious for a hot minute there, I guess? But, like, who gives a crap. That’s pretty harmless, in the grand scheme of things.

If the troops wanted a pay increase and better opportunities for education, they could have voted for a Democrat.

This is one of the very few things he’s actually done that’s a step in the *right* direction. He’s probably doing it for xenophobic reasons rather than labour concerns, but outsourcing companies have been abusing these visas for years. They flood the dept with applications and receive a ton of visas to undercut…

My husband calls it 50 Shades of Plaid.

Just an fyi for you. The fabric of Katy Perry’s outfit is seersucker. I’m sure you already know this, but fabric affects the drape of an outfit.

Barging in on this conversation to say that I have ordered from them. In fact, I ordered another new dress from them last night. You can order from their normal size options or enter your own measurements and get a custom made dress for about $10 more. The customization fee also allows you to choose different…

You know, I get what people mean when they say they wish the democrats would do this or that, but it ignores the history. Clinton’s wing of the party came into power because the democratic party was a loser nationally. The campaign rhetoric of past elections makes me believe that the democrats were losing largely…

I’m curious why you are so up in arms about a federal ID, but are fine with a passport. For all intents and purposes they are the same thing. Plus, you (presumably) have a social security card (or at least a number) so it’s not like the government doesn’t already know about you.

Yeah, Trump is like the Bible, his supporters will interpret him in whatever way that will confirm their beliefs. It’s like how Christians like to gloss over all the hard to follow rules and then focus super hard on the stuff that supports their worldview. Thing is about Trump, you can’t do that without being…

Passports are needed to fly abroad regardless of the country, Canada included. Passport cards exist too, though, which aren’t useful for flying abroad, I believe, but can be used for land border crossings. However, if you’re just looking for an ID that conforms with REAL ID laws within the U.S. and domestic…

I feel bad for him. But her? Screw that. She should have listened to him more carefully, or, you know, not drunk the Kool-Aid and done some research. The only good thing to come of this is that maybe, just maybe, people like this will turn on him in 2020.
