I had 35 hours of labor *after* my water broke (my contractions just kept stalling). My hospital has a very firm policy on giving women as much time as they need to give birth. Many hospitals will put a time limit on labor *even if mom and baby are fine,* and then go to c section. This really is for the hospital’s…

I’m more uppity than I thought. I start at aiight. Also, “fitna” vs “finna.” I’ve only ever heard/seen/typed “finna.” Is it regional or just a VSB thing?

I see racist people; they’re everywhere. They only see what they want to see. They only hear what they want to hear. They don’t know they’re racist.

We don’t deserve Missy

At the very least, they should hit them with a HIPPA violation.... that’s wrapped around a bat...

The Reverse Nanny McFee of shitty boyfriends. Nowhere to be found when you want them, can’t get rid of them when you never want to see their faces again.

I have a 6 week old who sleeps in a separate room and if she coos softly, I wake up immediately. They either had to be high as fuck or they left that baby alone for hours. Fuck them.

It’s currently rolled up in my garage because my husband thinks we’re adults and should have nice things, which, apparently, doesn’t include this rug.

Kid A is my favorite album of all time, and I look nothing like your “average” Radiohead fan. So glad to find my people down here in the comments.

I have a 1 month old, and I can’t even imagine how horrible this must be for the parents, but I also truly believe that as terrible as it would be, I wouldn’t want to put my baby through that extra pain for a treatment that only has a 10% chance of working. Sometimes being a pragmatist is actually merciful

My husband likes shopping and I hate it. I go directly to and get the few things I/we need, and he wants to inspect the entire store to see if they have anything interesting. It makes me crazy. 100% would prefer to spend my time playing video games. But I guess those throw pillows he found were nice.

Can confirm. I am an old and I have such an irrational hatred of lil Yachty. Him and Ed Sheeran. I’m a high school teacher and pretty much any music my kids introduce me to, I’ll at least listen to and try to see what they like about it (even the theater kids and their musicals!). But fuck Yachty. And doubly Sheeran.…

1 in about every 2000 babies is born with “ambiguous genitalia.”

It’s a combination of many factors from the availability of healthcare in certain areas, the cost of that care, and also the way medical professionals treat women of color.

The bullshit that’s come out of the woodwork because of this flag. Got into an argument with a woman who argued 1st there should be two separate flags because they are “two separate issues.” I pointed out that for many people they are not, and she went to that she doesn’t identify that way, so it’s not fair. I said…

She waived her right to a jury trial. A judge found her guilty.

What makes the difference to me is that he got out of the car, said he didn’t want to die, and she kept pushing him to get back in. At that point he probably wouldn’t have gone through with it even if she said nothing at all, and egging him on caused harm.

A friend and I were having this conversation just yesterday. There needs to be a POC Yelp

The weather cooled down and it is much improved!
