When you love [killing people at] your job, you don’t work a day in your life.

I think I liked Winter’s Bone well enough but all I remember is about 2 hours of Jennifer Lawrence arriving at people’s houses like “Hi, can I come in? I’m looking for my daddy”.

I went to college with a girl from Honduras. She went through asylum to get here, at age 7. We were in a creative writing program together and in a journal writing class. In that class I learned that she won her her asylum bid bc her mother was a forced drug mule for a violent drug gang, and died while transporting…

Boot straps buddy. I mean, if they get their own lawyer, they'll expect food and health care provided too. I mean, do you want to live a country where we feed and give medicine to 3 and 4 year olds who don't even work part time? Remember, we want to overturn Roe v. Wade cause children are precious gifts from God.

Holy shit. When my kid was 4 he didn’t even know what country he lived in. This is unimaginably cruel. I honestly don’t understand how these people sleep at night.

“I’ve taught immigration law literally to 3-year-olds and 4-year-olds,” Weil said. “It takes a lot of time. It takes a lot of patience. They get it. It’s not the most efficient, but it can be done.”

My oldest is 3.5 right now. After we watched that John Oliver, we started teaching her what country she lives in and what language she speaks. (She already knew city and state and her full name.) But she’ll still dissolve laughing while she repeats “booty butt, booty butt” and twerks for you. And she was scared to…

I’m an immigration attorney. I’ve had this fight with EOIR judges a few times. One time my 4 year old client was too scared to enter the court room. The judge insisted that the child come in and face her. I had to carry the child in (at this point he had calmed down but was still terrified and shaking). I told the…

I’m not a big Malcom Gladwell fan, but he wrote a pretty amazing article about ketchup back in the mid-aughts. I haven’t read it in a bit, but if I recall correctly, he reaches the same conclusion: there’s no improving on Heinz

Ehhh, pharmacists are more chemists than medical professionals. But still, you don’t see my vegetarian ass working in a butcher shop.

Exactly. Healthcare employers should be able to turn away applicants that don’t “believe” in science or helping people.

This is absolute bullshit. These people get off on this kind of power. I'm so sick of people who can't see past their own rinkly shrunken dick that see their views as everyones views. I've seen far too much of this shit lately and it's not something that I have to deal with.

Exactly. Doesn’t seem like he performed his duty to refer the prescription to someone else in a timely manner.

People who think their feelings are more important that providing healthcare to a person should not work in healthcare in any capacity.

Fuck that guy, fuck Walgreens, and fuck the law making it ok.

I think, from a feminist perspective, a better thing to be teaching them about history is exactly how shitty life was for women, why that was bad for society in general, and why “women’s work” that wasn’t being daring was also super fucking important and difficult. It would serve as an important reminder to everyone,…

My problem with these books, and “badass” girl culture in general, is that it still puts the onus on women and girls to beat society at its own game, instead of on society (i.e. men and boys) to change.

I think the idea was for the actor playing the role to resemble Teena. Hilary Swank did an astounding job and I think the role could have been played by either a trans man or a cis woman, but not by a cis man.

they showed him as a adolescent young woman first, coming through the revelation that he was in fact trans, so it needed to be played by a woman.
