I am livid reading this. LIVID. BabyStu is 2 and even with the pneumococcal vaccine, meningitis is one of the worst fears parents have. Whenever your toddler gets really sick, it’s a panicked couple of days of trying to get them to communicate with you. Does your neck hurt? Do you think they’re moving jerkily/stiffly?…

People, please start believing that health care IS the miracle God sent you.

Wouldn’t doubt it. Ever venture to comments section on any news article about her and 90% of it is right wing redneck nutjobs who are hell bent on her being in prison. When that doesn’t happen, I think some of the neanderthals could easily act out violently.

Or maybe these mothers (like the mothers of the dead children of Newtown, CT) are trying to change our sick world and know that working with lawmakers is a way to bring attention to their plight?

I’m a Bernie supporter and I cringed at his answer to the racial blind spot question. I think I understand what he was trying to get at, that our society is incredibly racially segregated and institutional racism makes it harder if you’re a poor person of color vs a poor white person, but man he has got to get a…

This is exactly what bothers me about Sanders...he thinks racism is just an economic issue...

Clinton may also be worried about a literal ‘kill shot’. Rumor has it that she has received so many death threats (because our country sucks) that she has to wear bulletproof vests.

I’m not usually one of those “say what rich people should do with their money” people, but if that’s true honestly FUCK them for not making supporting charities one of the major prongs of their empire (though, fuck them for that anyway — using your platform for good costs nothing).

I think there’s a difference between “you’re naked, therefore you like sex and are a slut” and “there is no reason to show us your naked body under the flimsy pretext of not knowing what to wear as anyone who cares to see you naked has already done so”.

I’m questioning this, and I guess that is being judgmental. Because it worries me that being pregnant, by whatever extraordinary physical punishment is required to enable it, is held to be so important. It’s her life, and of course I’m not going to interfere with her choices in any way. I wouldn’t, even if I had the…

Maybe it’s a bit unfair because we tend to focus on the high-profile cases where things go terribly wrong, but I feel like any police intervention with a mentally unstable person that doesn’t end in death these days can be viewed as something of a success.

Am I supposed to be able to recognize a specific font if it isn’t labeled as such? Because that is not a talent I possess.

I agree with everything except the kids feeling bad part.

Tell me about it! I just made it out of my teen years when social media was becoming omnipresent. I remember talking to a guy on MySpace when I was in high school and he said he did casting for SVU and that he’d help me be an extra if I came to NYC.

I kept some things just so I can look at them and remind myself that I was no better than the teenage idiots of today. I say that with love. I genuinely enjoy teenagers for the most part. But they do say some dumbass shit.

My sister and I were watching an old Law and Order: SVU where a girl gets thrown in juvie (by a corrupt) judge for kiddie porn because she texted a pic of herself nude that then got sent everywhere.

If she’s having a hysterectomy after 1-2 pregnancies, then they might just remove all the foreign tissue, so she might not have to take the anti-rejection drugs forever.

It sounds like the uterus can be removed after she’s done using it, and transplant drugs can be suspended. But yeah, the transplant costs a lot in many ways. The article says she’ll have to stay in the hospital for “a month or two”- that’s a long time in the hospital in today’s day and age.

What bothers me is that she had extremely risky surgery and will have to take anti-rejection drugs for the rest of her life to treat a non-life threatening condition. I’m trying really hard to suspend judgement, but this seems so strange to me. The life of a transplant patient is not easy (see above re: tons of drugs…

Would it skeeve you if a dead woman’s heart was keeping you alive?
