the Kardashian-Jenner family is in the midst of a powwow to ensure the transition is handled sensitively

I appreciate your inspections! I once purchased a swimsuit without trying it on, got it home, and realized it had been very clearly previously worn by (a brunette! yay! also HI WEIRD STAIN IN THE MIDDLE). I brought it back and was like, "I did not wear this, but the person who returned it before me clearly did IF…

Right, of course, obviously putting resources into retention that works pays dividends. Duh. I hope this will lead to changes in culture, for sure.

Every time I read one of these stories, I want to hurl. I worked as a paraprofessional with high school students who were working on credit recovery (so, ages 14-21) from the time I was 22 until I was 25, and it blows my fucking mind that anyone would be able to throw aside the power dynamic and developmental…

This is the best piece of long-form journalism I have read all year, and it is NOVEMBER.

As a former resident of Norman, I would much rather my tax dollars went to compensating those girls for their pain and suffering at the hands of fumbling administrators than paying the salaries of offending administrators, the PR team, or the legal team advising all of the above. I bet all those residents standing on…

As a Norman High alum, I'm so disgusted with the school system's response to these issues— even if all of their claims are true, waving evidence of an anti-bullying program in place, however comprehensive, doesn't matter if the program doesn't work! And clearly, it doesn't. There has been no acknowledgement of the…

4:20 was the end of the contract day for teachers and staff when I worked for Norman Public Schools. My guess is that that's the latest that members of the public could occupy school grounds.

I grew up in this town, attended this high school, and worked for Norman Public Schools for several years. This makes me absolutely sick with rage.

Who are these administrators? Name and shame! Fuck adults who fail to protect and support victims of assault, who exacerbate trauma. "We're working on it." "We're…

My daughter is 18 months and we're going to start practicing this tonight. I mean, she can already say pizza. What the fuck else does she need to know?

He's the best! I'm from Oklahoma and we shot the shit about Okemah (Woody Guthrie's hometown) after a show once, and then I saw him the next day in an antique store and he said, "hi!" like he knew me (or maybe just because I was staring at him?) and then I shocked myself on a poorly wired display cabinet immediately…

Yes, I feel like this is a really important conversation! While I understand that there will be residents, nurses, and other care providers with whom you may not have discussed your birth preferences prior to your birth, I think that sometimes birth plans make it seem like you, 1) haven't already had these…

Really? My MFM and OB both encouraged me to get a second opinion when it was suspected I had placenta accreta (it turned out to be a subchorionic hematoma that resolved). I know that obstetrical care can certainly vary from place to place, but is a second opinion really viewed that way as a matter of course?

Wait- do people really not talk about this? I thought this was like, top five most talked about childbirth things. What we should really be talking about are the post-partum shits because UNHOLY OF ALL UNHOLY.

Fun fact! The reason milk can look blue is because that milk is low in fat (maybe foremilk?), leaving only the proteins to scatter light. Proteins scatter blue (shorter wavelength) light more than red. Skim milk tends to look like this, too.

OB-GYNs and other qualified medical professionals are cordially invited to this comment section to drop science on us for real. Please oh please oh please.

Missouri has some really excellent cheese! Homestead Creamery (makers of Flory's Truckle), Baetje Farms (outstanding soft-ripened goat cheeses), Green Dirt Farm (incredible washed rind Bossa + more), and those are just the ones I can think up off the top of my head. Don't get me wrong— I fucking hate Missouri— but…

Whoa, I was unaware strawmen could actually procreate. Learn something new every day!

You're right. The World Health Organization recommends breastfeeding my child until the age of two, but since she can walk and talk at the age of 14 months, I should probably just stop since you're so grossed out. Super sorry! We'll start weaning tonight. Thanks a mil!
