Oh this day. I can’t even imagine the pain that he must feel to know that partisan politics matter more than his son’s life did. Bless him for being a positive force in the world and for wanting to make something right out of something very very wrong.

Don’t feel silly! I literally teared up a bit. I think we are all so frayed from the current political climate that this show of support for citizen’s wishes is truly moving.

I have this! I’m not quite to the age of yearly exams (soon though) but I have already had my share of ultrasounds and “just in case” biopsies. I also have a week+ a month where I can’t stand to be hugged and where the best part of my day (going home and taking my bra off) becomes my worst. It is so painful and all…

Your [Redacted. Too bitter] is basically all my thoughts over the past few weeks. It’s amazing that I can keep reaching new levels of anger.

I am just going to leave my rage here where no one will see ithe thanks to the grays: FUCK THIS GUY. I mean seriously fuck him. I can’t even begin to express the amount of rage that I am feeling at this moment. Does he think that the poor girl, WHO HIS SON RAPED, is just going tra-fucking-la through her fucking life…

I am so sorry for the pain your family has gone through; I can’t imagine what it must be like. Thank you so much for your insight. This center has an extensive training program (40+ hours) before you can work with anyone directly, so I will start with administrative tasks until I’m more familiar with the environment…

I just wanted to let you know that this article was what made me stop waffling and actually sign-up to volunteer at a local women’s shelter. I’ve been hedging around for months trying to decide where I wanted to volunteer. I just can’t anymore.

Oh, oh oh.. her hair and her romper and her arms and her voice. Always her voice. Forever her voice.

Fact: You are completely and utterly wrong.

I was super iron deficient in my first pregnancy. Anecdotal, but my daughter is non-ASD. Best not to worry about it! If you can stomach it, a tablespoon of black strap molasses a day can really help your iron lvls and take your supplement with a glass of orange juice because the vitamin C helps with absorption.

Or that art, at the core of its nature, isn’t always self-indulgent. Do we really think Picasso painted bizarre angels to please others? No, true art is an expression of oneself, absent from a desire to please others. I, personally, love this iteration of Beyonce.

I hope all ends up well! Pneumonia is so scary and swift. Good thoughts for your dad.

This is my favorite one too! I love the idea of tiny sneakers and purple sweat pants. And Prince wanting a camel in the middle of the night. He was one of a kind.

I will bow to your knowledge and bias. :) I am not a big sports person but have been casually following the women’s team because my daughter is crazy into soccer. I was just throwing out a fact I recalled from the top of my head, but you’re right. There is no need to quantify a desire for equal pay!

IIRC, the women’s team earned 16mil in revenue last year and the men’s team lost 2mil. So no, not by a long shot.

Headache-inducingly bad.

Wait. They saw the above ad and decided that they were going to give that woman $850? I can’t wrap my head around this at all. I mean, wut?

I’m legitimately getting worried that I might die of a rage induced aneurysm.

I think that’s pretty unfair. Everyone is drawn to different sorts of music, and not really liking one song doesn’t mean that you aren’t trying to see things through other peoples eyes. I don’t like that weird throat singing but it doesn’t mean I can empathize with the struggles of the people who make it.

This gives me so much hope; not just for the coming generation, but for journalism as a whole. It’s so hard to trust news outlets these days that are owned by huge conglomerates that are themselves owned by shadow companies. I am all for journalism at a citizen level! Now, if only we can figure out how to implant…
