I’m gonna say it: ModCloth had such cute stuff, but the items were almost never worth it for the price.

“When I think about the quality of people I‘ve met at Jet and their ambitions and how it aligns with ours,” Kaness began. “And when when I think about their parent company Walmart, who has the resources—but also has when you’ve spent time researching it and understanding it, they’ve spent a lot of time working on corp…

I refuse to shop at a company whose employees we have to support.

Such a huge bummer. As a plus-size clothes wearer, Modcloth has been of my go to’s because they have such cute products. I won’t continue to shop there if they’re owned by Walmart, though. I refuse to support a company that treats its employees so badly.

I’m also fucking tired of the media pussyfooting around saying things like “King said controversial comments” or “Comments that might be viewed as racially biased and insensitive” and just say the guy is a fucking white supremacist who believes in the same things as the Ku Klux Klan and that Nazi Party.

Displaying a Confederate flag on your desk should be instantly disqualifying, especially when you represent a state that fought for the Union. Iowa, y’all deserve better than this.

Yes. My employer has a wellness program that we are required to partake in (or you pay more on health insurance). It isn’t too bad—basically get a indicator of key health metric twice a year rather than at an annual physical. I wonder how long it is before there are penalties for smoking, for being overweight, or for…

I didn’t even fully understand how terrible US healthcare was until my partner and I started volunteering for an NGO in Colombia. I have type-1 diabetes and recently caught the flu here, which required me to spend a week in the hospital (two days of that in a special care unit). My total cost: $0.00. We’re both…

Before the ACA, it was. I paid vastly more than my brothers in health insurance even WITHOUT maternity. Individual insurance was so unbelievably unfair.

And... in case anyone is confused about why we will ultimately need single-payer health care in this country, here it is! Employers, who currently hold the gatekeeper’s position for health insurance for folks under 65, WILL DISCRIMINATE against the potentially less-well as soon as they have the opportunity. The…

Oh sure, NOW the republicans believe in science

The party of small government, y’all!

And drink lotsa water after! I find that sometimes not much pee comes out after, so I try and drink a lot of water to keep flushing it out.

It’s both. For decades, millions of people have pointlessly been (and still are) prescribed antibiotics for the flu (a virus, not a bacterium).

I’m replying just to say YES YES D-MANNOSE IS A LIFESAVER. I recommend it to literally everyone.

D mannose changed my life

Stay away from industrial supermarket meat and chicken. I switched to only organic/grass-fed meat and poultry awhile ago and it’s made a huge difference. Well worth the extra money.

Thanks, doctors, giving antibiotics to every patiënt with a common cold.

Thanks, meat industry.

bacterias in general are becoming antibiotic resistant.
