I was in agony one night and begged my spouse to do the same. He obliged. It was kind of weird, but not disgusting.

I regularly had to use vibrators on my breasts to unclog ducts in order to prevent mastitis. I sometimes would forget to put them away and people would come over and see an assortment on our coffee table,…

I still have not discovered what makes someone a permagrey or not. Am I one because this is a Burner account?

I have tons circa 2002 from when I was traveling around Morocco solo and there was no one around to take a photo of me.

But there’s IS a social contract. This woman is the ONLY woman walking around barefoot. I doubt it’s because everyone else has stinky feet. It’s because folks know bare feet are not part of a professional environment. (OR it’s because people are afraid of walking around barefoot because of her gross feet, which is…

As someone with significant knowledge of the insider baseball, I can assure you that an honest postmortem accounting is not happening. People continue to blame external factors rather than admit internal failings that contributed - and consultants who profited off of heinously bad strategies are poised to assume the…

Oh, TOTALLY AGREE that Brazile is not the most trusted storyteller on this. And while I was a Bernie supporter in the primary who voted for HRC in the general, I’m pretty disgusted by the sentences that transpose “Clinton campaign” with “Hillary,” which is not one of the same.  

But the news that the DNC was broke,…

Demanding that no one talk about anything that could be used by the GOP is missing the forest for the trees. Here’s why: until we have an actual accounting of all the shit that caused the race to be so close that Comey letter managed to push Trump over the edge, we will be doomed to repeat it.

The same consultants and…

Not exactly true; donors were able to give substantially more because the money was going to the state parties and the DNC.

At the Target in DC, there is already a Christmas section just behind the Halloween section, next to the sizable fall/Thanksgiving section. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Isn’t the mansion the Tucson mansion that Tandy lived in on The Last Man on Earth?

Definitely a good point, but again, their medical records didn’t make a case for the medical necessity of a c-section other than “infant *could* be in distress.”

Mine didn’t break until the day I delivered; I remember being quite surprised by it, because I had completely forgotten about it during the killer back labor.

Not a medical pro, I just play one after watching too many medical procedural dramas on TV.

I think it’s rather telling that even the medical chart doesn’t clearly state the infant was in fetal distress:

The length of labor doesn’t really matter - it’s whether there’s fetal distress. The lawsuit claims that the patient wasn’t told that she needed a c-section because of danger to the baby, but rather because of the doctor’s timeline.

I think it’s notable that even the medical chart didn’t document any clear distress:

What a steaming pile of horseshit. This man is no victim; he is responsible for the deaths and severe illness of thousands of children across the globe. The line about “he didn’t actually say MMR causes autism,” is complete bullshit, since he preyed upon an immigrant community to scare them away from getting MMR…

Also, it’s really fucking awesome that your doctor’s office hands that out at prenatal visits.

Actually, undocumented immigrants DO pay taxes. And not just local and state taxes — they pay federal taxes by filing for a federal tax ID number in order to pay them. In 2010 alone, they paid $13B in federal taxes.

I had NO IDEA that we have Harris Teeters here in DC until just now, and I’ve lived here for over 15 years. (I know I’ve seen the grocery store in AdMo and in NE, I just assumed it was a Giant or Safeway.)

I love HT, so I might have to make a trek just to shop there. Do you happen to know if they’re union?

I live in DC NW, and the bodegas on our street care heavily Latino products, which is great because it’s hard to get them elsewhere, but they gouge the fuck out of shoppers on staples. $10 for a small box of shitty garbage bags.

Does anyone know if donations are going to help recovery in the U.S. Virgin Islands? The islands are utterly devastated, and given that they’re a part of the U.S., I would hope funds raised are going to help them rebuild — but I worry by looking at the roster of charities benefitting that USVI is being left out of…

I think what Nobel is trying to say is that by talking about immigrants in terms of economic value, we remove their humanity. We should talk about their contributions, including their contributions to our commerce — but let’s stop talking about them like commodities and more like people.
