Black Ohio woman criminally charged after miscarriage underscores the perils of pregnancy post-Roe
They left her waiting, knowing the baby was already dead, increasing her risk of potentially deadly complications. I see no problem here. The dead baby should have been removed.
She should not be charged with anything. There is medical neglect going on here and it's obvious to me that her life was in jeopardy the longer she carried the dead baby.
I lost my last pregnancy at 20+ weeks due to premature break of my water. I didn't even realize it had happened, the pregnancy was wanted even if it wasn't planned, and I am still dealing with the trauma (and the hospital bills). All I can think of is I'm thankful it happened when it did and my doctor didn't hesitate to induce labor - a medical induced abortion - so my life would be okay. (And I was able to get a copper IUD placed because I know my mental health could not survive the potential loss of another child.)
This poor woman... She is traumatized and our trash legal system wants to fine her and jail her. She needs support and love, not more debt and punishment. I screamed and cried in the hospital surrounded by support medical staff. She was in her bathroom...
This makes my blood boil. The government should have zero say in private medical decisions. Abortion is no one's first choice.

Came out to my mom
As a mom of a mtf child, it has been hard to reprogram my brain that they are no longer my son, but my daughter. I still love them, support them, and they will always be my baby. This internet stranger is very proud of you and wishes you the best going forward. 💛🏳️⚧️

The 5th Element
The Professor would be better cast as the guy Ruby Rod says is stone cold deaf, and who eventually rolls a billiards ball back to Bruce Willis's character (I'm drawing a blank on names this morning).
If anything, Bender would make a better Ruby Rod and could cast Roberto as the flaming bad guy entity.
Hermes would make a good Zorg.
Alrighty, I'm thinking way too much into this. 😅 I'm stopping now.

What Era was the best and why was it the 90s?
Memphis design for the colors and patterns, Y2K for the colorful translucent electronics, and Frutiger Aero for the GUIs.

At first, I thought this was the joke... But then realized it's because catbox doesn't load for me, for whatever reason.

I am hungry, but I can't eat.
This plus hypoglycemia 🙃 and that I rarely feel hungry before I'm starving... Thankfully I have my kids who tell me they're hungry so I make myself eat them.

In a now deleted tweet, weirdo Azealia Banks shares that "fucking 14 year old girls was really only made a social taboo in the 1990s"
My great-grandmother, who was born in 1910, may have gotten married at 13 (iirc her husband was 17-18 at the time) and had my grandmother when she was 14... but that's doesn't make it "right" that she was a teen mother. She married young to get out of an abusive home life and that was her only way out at the time.

I'm pretty sure all of us have given up on any boomer giving us anything anyway
My boomer dad: you probably won't get anything because I'm paying [i.e. using my retirement] to take care of my [100 year old] mother
Me: that's understandable

Got a call from the school when my oldest was in kindergarten... "Your child just yelled 'bite my shiny metal ass' in the library." I was proud and embarrassed at the same time.

Iowa House OKs bill to criminalize death of an "unborn person" despite IVF concerns
As a woman who still has her uterus and ovaries but who has gone into the "it's dangerous to get pregnant at your age" territory: I'm scared shitless. My last pregnancy ended in a stillbirth and that in and of itself has scared me. I feel horrible for being thankful that it happened months before RvW got overturned. I'm just ready to get everything removed so there's not even an iota of a chance of pregnancy.

A cyberattack against Clorox last month that shut down factories has created a nationwide shortage of bleach and cat litter
Clorox owns Hidden Valley Ranch brand of salad dressings. They also own Burt's Bees cosmetics. I'm unsure which cat litter they own. They also own Kingsford charcoal.
Source: I'm a retail merchandiser who has done several jobs for Clorox the past several months and I've had to run around the store from one department to another for various audits.

Don't tell me what I can't do, Sharon!
I got sad when we had that one worker who was adamant that we couldn't take our blankets into group. Like, we've been doing it since we got here... Let us have our blankets.

Stuff like this is why I just used the hex color code vs the color name back in the day.

A warming island's mice are breeding out of control and eating seabirds. An extermination is planned
A single mouse will feed on a bird several times its size. Conservationists snapped a photo of one perched on the bloodied head of a wandering albatross chick. [...] He said the birds have not developed the defense mechanisms to protect themselves against these unfamiliar predators and often sit there while mice nibble away at them. Sometimes multiple mice swarm over a bird.
Holy crap. Renewed fear of mice activated. I hope their plan goes as well as they're planning. There's no good solution here.

devils panties 12/24/2024
Parent here. School decided that all of December would be dress up days this year instead of just the week before they got out for break. I went all "bah humbug" and my kiddos did not participate - except for the school colors day because they already had shirts in those colors.

Iowa governor says it's 'not sustainable' to give $40 per month to kids from low-income families for food

She is continually undermining our health (can't have high COVID numbers if we stop reporting it), and stripping away at our public schools (voucher program for private schools).
I may be just a transplant but I don't think I can get anymore pissed at this person. Can't believe she won the reelection.
