Nothing of what you say is right. Having a c-section in her case was major surgery and traumatic in recovery. Most women want to deliver naturally, because our bodies are built to do so, most of the time. It’s absolutely her right to request it, without qualification to anyone. Since there appears to be no imminent…

34 hours is generally the time when they first report having contractions, not actual pushing labor. I was in “labor” for 1.5 days before actually being in labor for my firstq. Because she has had two c-sections before, they would admit her early even when almost nothing is really happening because of bigger risk.

They did put strawberries in an otherwise just spinach leaves salad, so there’s that.

It’s as transparent as the skin on my face that this boy is suffering from a deep inferiority complexion that is angry, festering, and deep. Of course he’s focusing on color: his is unclear.

Even half is being generous for me; I would have to count pretending to care.

I know people who stockpile guns because they are sure the government or “others” are trying to deny them their liberties. They want to be ready. They’ve been doing this for over 30 years. I feel like all this build-up means they’re just dying for reason to use them.

Do you have a source for this? Not questioning its truth, just want to read more.

Ken Burns’s Vietnam. you can stream it for free on pbs.com. I am also watching right now, and the similarities to then and now are disturbing.

Wow.

Every episode is worth watching over and over, studying even. Take notes.

I completely agree. Frightening, and I feel very naive and stupid not realizing that these feeling ran this deep. Fuck.

That’s exactly it.

It baffles those of us who support the ACA, medicaid-for-all, and single-payer, etc.. Now imagine trying to make these very obvious and common sense points about health care to people who can’t be convinced it is right because of “nanny-state,” and high taxes (even though we would actually save money). It’s…

That .gif went a little too far for me, but I appreciate the sentiment it conveys.

This is the only news that matters. Unless of course you have a reality show and beauty line planned, and then this news is very disappointing.

I forget which Senator was speaking, but on NPR they interviewed him and basically he said that if they don’t pass it now, they’ll obstruct on tax cuts in the spring and try again to introduce another healthcare repeal (that’s what it is, not just the bogeyman of Obamacare, but healthcare in general). So hard-line…

I feel that many countries are perfectly fine with Dotard and his presidency. Some may even be downright giddy with joy at his “leadership.”

The worst is that they absolutely do not believe they are racists. I know many of these people, have argued with them and called them out, but the one thing that bothers them is if you call them racist.
