A lot of progress was made last night and its important to carry that on into the future.

And if she had attended antenatal care, she would know the basics at least of what not to ignore. 

Something important to remember (which Slate pointed out) is that the infrastructure Beto used didn’t exist prior to his team cobbling it together. And it doesn’t go away with this election: it still exists in mailing lists, contacts, and whatever is left of the war chest.

Colorado used to be blood-red just 14 years ago. Now look at them.

The room wouldn’t be empty.  He’ll always have the sycophants at Fox News, Info Wars, etc to get the message to his base.

Wives of antiheroes get the absolute worst rap because they tend to act in a narrow set of functions. They’re either unknowing roadblocks like Rita on Dexter, completely ignorant of their husband’s deeds and always making needy phone calls at highly inopportune moments, which case people hate them for being oblivious…

It bugs me that people keep saying that Sessions was fired. He resigned, although he was asked to. This is a big difference because resigning means that Trump can appoint someone, which he did, without Senate confirmation. If he fired him that would not be the case. It’s a relatively minor detail but when reporting…

Have the hard conversations because ignoring them has gotten us here? I am the director of a nonprofit though, so this sort of thing is what I do every day. I have to have hope that things will change, otherwise I wouldn’t do this work. Never know who/when you’ll reach someone.

Excellent example. Betty is deeply unlikeable, but holds the audience’s attention for any number of reasons - she is flawed, she is relatable, she is undeniably beautiful and intriguingly costumed, the actor is charismatic, and she has chemistry with every other actor in the frame. Same goes for Carrie Bradshaw.  They…

Yes, a few. First and foremost, it was mostly to try and hold the line - hoping against noted odds that Dems could gain a majority in the senate, and also knowing that the alternative would be much worse. The 43% of the state that voted for Donnelly now have no representation at all - now it’s just two Trump-fellating…

When she mentioned, “I guess because she had an affair.” that is when I thought of Tony Soprano. People loved Tony and he was not only a murderer, but also a cheater, often a selfish narcissist. I’m not trying to get anyone to hate Tony, but I think she’s right that characters like Tony Soprano and Don Draper are…

This^^. I have a close friend who KNOWS that I spent a significant amount of time hitting the pavement to canvass for what was our lone democratic senator (after last night we are stuck with two republican assholes instead). We’ve had many discussions about the state of this country and have been in agreement about…

Yes, it sounds like this couple didn’t even read up on pregnancy and delivery very well. As far as I know, while plenty of fluids come out while you’re giving birth, they shouldn’t smell foul. And not urinating for days, whether you’re giving birth or not, is a really, really, really bad sign.

As someone in their 80s, I can remember my grandparents talking about having kids in the real old days, and it was hell. They lost a lot of kids and fair share of parents. Hell part of the reason they had so many kids is you need spares because they weren’t all making it to adulthood. Modern Medicine is goddamn…

Yeah I would think so too. Given that midwifery has been around FOREVER because women have always preferred to have other women helping them give birth. Because doing it yourself is RIDICULOUS.

Even giving birth COMPLETELY alone has got to be a historical anomaly for women who just happened to live exceptionally isolated lives (I’m thinking pioneer women of the American west who maybe have been homesteading some remote patch of land, for example). Even before births were attended by trained and licensed…

I feel awful about the baby dying and that Lisa and her husband have lost a child. I understand the desire to have a baby at home with as little intervention as possible, but at some point you have to be able to recognize that something is wrong and seek out professional help. Complications happen, and in those…

I get mistrust of the US health care system. I really do. But it wasn’t THAT long ago that childbirth was a leading cause of death for women. Forgive the expression, but don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Home birth can be great for some women, but the fact that this group deletes any advise that counters their beliefs and doesn’t make room for other treatment options makes them a cult, and a very dangerous one at that.
