Is this really a good idea, though? I mean, a woman POTUS and VP? Won’t their cycles sync up and wreak havoc on the White House plumbing? Read more

This is such a weird topic for me to read about... I’m currently in nursing school, and considering this area as a specialty. Read more

I want to first say something: THE GOVERNMENT DICTATING WHAT MEDICAL CONVERSATIONS TAKE PLACE CAN GO TO HELL. (ex: Fuck you, Florida, I’ll talk about gun safety as much as I damn well please) My only hope here, putting on my rose-colored glasses, is that this will ensure that hospitals provide this service to women… Read more

Well whaddya know!! Payment mechanisms for perinatal hospice care are undeveloped!!

I am Cornish and it is not too cold in Cornwall in autumn for Aidan Turner to get his nips out. Rpt: not too cold. Debbie Horsfield is made of duplicity and sin. Read more

I’m a grad student at Davis, and I have been here since the pepper spray incident in 2011. It’s worth noting that the 2011 protests were part of Occupy but also a direct response to proposed tuition increases. After the pepper spray incident, and the increased protests that followed, the regents not only voted to… Read more

In 2013, Katehi’s office contracted a Maryland-based company called Nevins & Associates for a six-month contract that costs $15,000 a month. Nevins was brought in to “clean up the negative attention,” ostensibly by removing, or lowering, Google references to the video. The online reputation management service… Read more

I will point out that that it may make sense for a woman to work even if her salary barely covers the cost of child care (or doesn’t quite cover it). There’s contribution to retirement and the difficulty of finding a job after 5+ years out of the market. Read more

Generally speaking. But in some cases it’s an issue of the SAHP’s job not covering the cost of childcare. Or calling it so close that it's not worth it. Read more

As Stassa said in this piece, many women are stuck in a catch-22 where they can’t afford daycare, but also can’t really afford not to work. Sometimes the cost of childcare prices you out of your job. That’s not a cushy life. Read more

I think I’d rather do a critical analysis of Finnegan’s Wake. Read more

If he felt the need to give them hush money, I’d say it counts. Read more

just a PSA that i will never not laugh at ‘vaper, no vaping’ Read more

I truly feel for parents desperate to find something to blame for their child’s disorder, but once you cross the line into spreading dangerous untruths because you want the conspiracy to be true so badly, you must be told to sit down and shut up. Looks like Mr. De Niro has crossed that line. Read more

We are coming up on 100 years since women got the right to vote. Passing the ERA would be great.

I’ve been struggling with Arrow for a while, and this last season has been even more trying for me. Even Neal McDonough chewing the hell out of his setting has barely kept me holding on—I’m behind about three episodes, and once I heard that Black Canary was the “big death,” I lost pretty much all interest in catching… Read more

Holy crap what a hack job. Let’s ignore the actual point the woman was trying to make, just like Scott did when he brought up jobs instead of responding to her beef about Medicare expansion and healthcare. If this response about new jobs was so powerful, he wouldn’t have had to run out of the coffee shop like a scared… Read more

Oh, good, it formed a committee. Nonaction so breathtakingly academic that I am almost as comforted as I would be if they just fired tenured professors who sexually harass people. Read more

It’s important to note that the AAUP has a really sketchy history related to Title IX investigations and related sanctions. They consistently construe Title IX protections as violating vague notions of “academic integrity” — and have no problem sacrificing Title IX protections wherever they see them potentially… Read more
