Exactly! That’s why I always try to note that I’m an autistic parent, not just that I have an autistic child. I grew up without a diagnosis, because I was a girl and people thought it was just “shyness” keeping me from speaking before the age of six. I was very, very good at test taking, so I aced school. Back then,…
And that autistic adults are already here.
If it’s true that he wasn’t helping her prostitute herself, then yes, him denouncing her is completely valid.
This is clearly a social class thing, though, just like above. Living super close to the interstate usually means that you’re fairly poor (I say as someone who lives near the highway myself).
I don’t think autism is the worst possible thing, but as someone with spina bifida and a long history of surgery, I’d rather have the spina bifida.
For the most part, if you’re eating a healthy, varied diet, you really shouldn’t have many deficiencies in the first place, hence the concept of supplement. Most of the vitamins people get from supplements end up wasted by your body due to excess, but luckily the concentrations of vitamins you’d need to cause an…
Yes, everything.
This interests me, because the last time I had my thyroid tested, the blood tests came back that I was pretty B-12 deficient, so I started taking a supplement. I was a bit concerned that the supplement recommended has (literally) 16,666% of my RDA of Vitamin B-12, which...seems like too much, even as I understand that…
STUDIES!!!!!!!!!
Well yeah, according to Trumpism. Trump would make a better president than Hillary because it was her fault she got cheated on by her one husband, while he cheated on all of his wives, save Melania (as far as we know). The natural extrapolation of that philosophy is what you said.
Of course, Trump has also been accused of rape. Presumably it’s much worse to be a rapist than to be the wife of a rapist....
instead of just focusing on the most aggressive people in the room?
I think the cheating, the corruption and the disregard for democracy is way worse than a few nasty tweets and prank calls.
I am not painting *you* as anything. I am also, in my way, as I mentioned up top, “a woman who supports Bernie,” although as a journalist I don’t throw my arms around any politician entirely and never will.
I’m sorry, I have to say something. I’m a Bernie supporter, and a longtime Jezebel reader, AND I was there in the room. I shot some videos that have been aired on major networks, and I actually have a relatively neutral perspective. Could you please interview me for an alternate view of what happened, instead of just…
What would you guys have said of a liberal who doesn’t run for the Democratic party? You’d call that person a spoiler candidate. America has arranged a deeply shitty two-party system that requires liberals saddle up with one of two parties, to achieve liberal goals. Indeed, many liberals say “we need more parties!”…
Many women regularly take painkillers for period-related pain. I’m lucky, and only experience mild cramping usually (for which I don’t take anything, mainly because I don’t have anything with me). But, even I’ll take it 2-3 times a year for that. Add in another 2-3 times per year for a headache, maybe 1-2 times for a…
It’s the old, patriarchal “women on a pedestal and therefore not really human” trope. Closer to the earth, “more” natural and giving, pretty baby-havers. Converse is always irrational, can’t be expected to think, not equal to men. The pedestal is as bad as the dirt. And yes, this NEEDS to be about reproductive rights…
“immutable identity” is barking up the wrong tree and getting lost in the semantics: Hate Crimes are sentencing enhancements in most states (not sure about LA, but it likely fits the mold). We already have all types of laws about sentence enhancements - they’re called “aggravating factors”. IE, was the defendant drunk…
