Sometimes you can have access to everything and cancer still takes you. What Disney could do is fund an oncology dept. in Uganada in Waligwa’s name so that the next kid, who doesn’t have friends in high places, has a chance.

BBC reports that Nair had tried to crowdfund Waligwa’s medical treatment in India, after Ugandan doctors said they lacked the equipment necessary to eradicate her brain tumor.

What if I told you that there is an app on the market...

he’s not even that great a writer, so they were all going out of their way to publish and shield and reward him just because.

The divine moral argument of the Catholic church turns out to be, “but did you die tho?”.

I got into a decent amount of shit in theology class at my Catholic high school for maintaining the position that Thomas Aquinas’ Five “Proofs” of God played fast and loose with the term “proof” and did not actually prove anything. Because they don’t. A collection of stunning syllogisms, sure. But proof of a divine

There are legitimate reasons for abortion. There are no excuses for child molestation. I attended Catholic schools and I can assure you that there was all kinds of improper things going on that were swept under the rug. I don’t understand how a vow of celibacy has an asterisk when coming to children, but hey! I don’t

Imagine what would have happened had Lavery not spoken up. Imagine how many other times (past, present and future) children were/are/will be abused because people with inside knowledge do not speak up.

Cisneros encouraged everyone to read the book and should they find that they don’t like it, “put it down and do some serious introspection about why you really don’t like it . . . find out what you’re really upset about.”

All of these words and I have no idea why people used these in the first place. You even write how J&J settled claims related to deceptively marketing them without saying what was deceptive that might give me a clue. The first related article I clicked on to find out has this information in the second sentence.

I have an annoying co-worker who’s taken on the role of the office’s batty ol’ bitty (no idea why anyone would want to do that) and she told us how a japanese man on the bus (she claimed he was japanese, I have no idea what she based that on) coughed so she changed seats. She told us this as a funny story as in

This is prose-cursing on the level of Veep. Made me chuckle.

Oh please! This is clearly an attempt at a humble-brag. I mean look at the books in the photo. “I’m a book murderer but the books I murder are hard slogs to get through and look at how brilliant I am for reading them!”

I read a lot, and mostly kindle books, because it’s the most portable way, kindle app on my phone. I’m currently reading a paperback which doesn’t fit in my purse, so i carry a tote bag for it. I will write in books, fold pages, etc... but it would never ever occur to me to cut a book in half, wtf is this shit. And
