I just read some interesting research yesterday regarding the legalization of sex work in Australia. There were many women interviewed who hose to work in the sex industry because of the flexibility of hours and and high remuneration (compared to other jobs they could have been qualified to hold.) I'm not sold that…

I’ve been kinda nursing a crush on you and now it is LEGIT.

Give me Maury or give me death.

I completely agree with all of that. Aging and maturity is such a complex issue and different for individuals. I think the support system is key, as well as boundaries that are healthy and being really plugged into your kid and his/her life. Teens don’t have a realistic appreciation for risk and consequences because…

I am not disagreeing with you per se, but I had a personal reaction to some of your argument because I have heard it about my son. He is 16 and starting a collegiate program in the fall. Several people have told me that he shouldn’t be in such a rush or that he is going to miss out on the best years of high school by…

Texas used to (but is struggling with new legislation) have a 4x4 high school requirement for graduation. It meant four years of the the four core subjects. For the majority of students this meant Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and then Calculus or Trigonometry. Obviously many students struggled with that last…

I teach in a high school that has a majority low income and minority census. I am definitely going to share this resource with our guidance counselors.

I was just glad to see someone else a little squicked out by the comments.

I am a huge proponent of reproductive justice and agree that this type of thing is a systemic result of shaming women’s sexual choices HOWEVER when a girl does something like this the pro choice community has to be very clear in their response. We are already called baby murderers on the daily and just rushing to the…

Holy shit, thank you for posting this. I’ve never heard of this before and I immediately googled it, but what a great resource.

I keep preaching to anyone who will listen that we already have socialist policy but that it's a shitty socialist policy. Streets, schools, fire and police departments are all forms of socialist ideals. But by leaving the most vulnerable always playing a game of catch up we are not being the best that we can be as a…

Ah, ok. Thanks for the clarification. I know that I have a friend with lupus and she can't do gluten. I didn't realize that there were multiple things at work. I do know that my dad had severe psoriasis and one of the treatments recommended was going gluten free. Of course he never did it, lol.

I just got my email!! I'm totally going to a house meeting and I put up flyers on my campus today!!

And follow the money, ya know? When she is getting major financial backing from the same places that the Republican candidates are you have to wonder, what's the difference?

I don’t like HC. I don't know why, can't name it. Which is weird because I LOVE Bill so much. I was a little ambivalent before Bernie came into the race because I didn't want to vote for someone just to not vote (R). Saw Bernie this weekend and just really connected with him on the issues. I hope he can really get…

Thank you so much for linking this!! I really wanted to feel for her, but HOLY SHIT after reading that she has just been selfish and awful this whole time it seems. I mean damn. The court has taken really sensitive and cautious attempts to achieve the best outcome for the kids and she has only been focused on her,…

Honestly it's not just Celiac, there are a host of medical issues that can be exacerbated by gluten, like lupus for example.

“For every 100 degrees of Fahrenheit that men are afforded in the workplace, the average woman gets only 77 degrees.”

Today I was tipped that if you tap to the left of the star it works! And so far I have had stellar results! (Pun intended.)

This was some grade A, gorgeous prose.
