True- I guess I meant “C-sections that women were totally OK with” or “C-sections that didn’t kill women/happen after women were already dead.” It was NOT a common thing, and babies rarely survived.

Who said anything about fundamentally integral? And I think the logic was more like:

If we rejected or accepted studies based on how they were reported in the popular media, no scientific progress would be made. Ever.

well, if they’re born vaginally, they’re getting a hefty dose of it in every crease and crevice. Nothing gross or weird about that.

I’m sorry but FUCK YO DAD!!!

So last I checked Netflix has generously provided 1 episode of this, which my 3 yo son watched 1-2x, then sensibly quit. 18 months later, though, he still sings “hot dog hot dog hot diggity dog.” My son cannot reliably remember meals he ate 1 hour ago.

Uhh, #momgoals anyone? If I ever have a little one I’m going to see if I can twirl the kid off my nipple like pasties in a saucy Vegas show.

I read it as “Elizabetta” the first time, which is a substantially better name.

Well I don’t want to see you Wendy Williams and yet here we are

Like no one has ever come up to me and said ‘HEY, HEY! Have you seen my tit in my kids mouth yet? HAVE YOU? LOOOOOOOOOOK.’

I can’t understand a woman that has been brain washed by religion into leaving her infant son to go commit murder. I can’t even start making sense of it.

In an ideal world, cultural appropriation would only be called out if it was someone who expressed something racist or discriminatory about another culture.

Texas did just that back in 2010. It’s now called “Letter Math.”

“Yoga—like coffee, tea, math, syringes, and many other things people put to good use on a daily basis—has its origins in a culture that was infected by the long, sickly arm of Western colonialism.”

a positive development. I won’t be satisfied until the only thing whites don’t feel bad doing is sitting in a windowless room reflecting on their privilege.

My dad used to joke when I had braces that all I needed in addition to those railroad tracks were glasses and then I would never find a husband.

Absolutely. I’ll tell you that when traveling for work, particularly when abroad, those late check outs are a godsend when you have meetings all day and a late night flight. Most of the time, you never see outside your hotel and the entire process is exhausting and very unglamorous. It is not vacation in the least.

Yeah, I can’t be outraged about this. They’re being a bit pouty and dramatic when they first find out, that’s allowed. Maybe if one takes up a public crusade against the merger and never shuts up about it and compares themselves to actual suffering people it I’ll change my mind, but for now...pout away.

Yeah, I think Joanna must not travel for work. As someone who does 4 out of 7 days on the road, this kinda stuff really matters in terms of convenience.

Sure, there are bigger battles to fight, but if you are someone who does spend a 100 nights a year in a hotel and a couple of hundred thousand miles a year with your butt in an airplane seat (I do neither of those things any longer), the perks of elite status do matter.
