The only research paper claiming a link between autism and vaccines was roundly rejected and debunked as frog piss

An acquaintance-of-an-acquaintance of mine (met her at a party) insisted that her children didn’t need immunizations or any other type of medication from the pharmaceutical industry because they ate healthy food and this somehow meant that she and her family have “holistic livers” that protect them from getting sick. …

There is something to be said, however, for doctors who have the patience to actually sit down and speak with their patients about this... versus doctors who just say “DO THIS BECAUSE I SAID SO” and heavily imply that you’re an idiot if you don’t blindly follow his recommendations (no matter how right he may be).

This is how the US used to be. We can thank Wayne LaPierre for creating the insidious culture of fear and “MUST BUY TACTICAL MILITARY GRADE EQUIPMENT TO PROTECT FAMILY FROM [insert fearful ‘other’ here]” nonsense that lined his own pockets with gun manufacturer $ and created the fetishism we see now.

Thanks for sharing this. I’m so sorry it was so hard.

Because I’m a cheapskate and sports detergent is INSANELY expensive, I find that a short soak (30min-1hr) in diluted white vinegar before every 3rd wash or so will help extract any detergent residues that may build up over time and trap odors.

I think what makes be feel hopeful about the abortion debate is that while your statement is true that a certain segment of rabidly anti-abortion people will never, ever change their minds... I think there are FAR more people who just sort of think of abortion as a generally “bad/unnecessary” amorphous thing without…

To suggest women get these abortions frivolously is just stupidity. It’s like saying that some people get root canals for shits and giggles.

Dude Gu is absolutely fucking disgusting but it is PURE MAGIC for me. It’s like taking a hit of cocaine in the middle of a run. Especially the ones with caffeine. I get to mile 6 or 7 and start to hate life, and then 45 seconds after a shot of Gu I feel like I’m Tina Fey high-fiving a million angels and running on…

Right, thanks for reducing my well-founded concern that there are meme-generating, out-of-context-sound-bite spreading, particularly prevalent in BLM and other progressive circles, outside actors trying specifically to divide the Left, into “everyone who disagrees with me is a bot!!!!” Sure man, that’s exactly what I…

I’ve seen her be asked about [the death penalty] numerous times now and her answer has always been that she is opposed to it.

Right. Ethics laws have not caught up to this yet.

You might just want to mix your Cerave PM with some jojoba or argan oil on dry skin days. You’ll look like a greaseball when you go to bed but it’ll gradually sink in overnight. Trader Joe’s sells jojoba and argan oil for about $8-9/bottle I think (where I get mine).

Speaking as a Translucently White Lady, any kind of tanning attempt or material, whether from UV light bulbs, shitty quality lotion, or a professional sprayer, makes me look like a tangerine.

I keep a little in my car for emergencies (hidden both from others and from myself), but none on my person.

You should talk to your doctor (or a different doctor, fuck her) about potential urinary issues. My dad had something similar happen and it ended up being a blocked ureter.

They also have a really nice moisturizer that has ALL OF THE THINGS in it: standards like aloe and vitamin E, but also retinols, HA, antioxidants, shea butter, CoQ10, vitamin C,green tea, etc.
