Saw this and thought, “This person DEFINITELY lives in Boston/Somerville/Cambridge.” Yep.
(Also, super cute outfit.)
Family on the moon. How did it get there?

This situation about the infant hopefully cured of HIV in rural Mississippi.
Obviously, that’s an amazing advance if it pans out, but the reporting of it— mom arrives at hospital already in labor, doesn’t know she is infected because she hasn’t been under a doctor’s care during her pregnancy, baby is sent to an outside facility within 30 hours of birth for this aggressive treatment—makes me wonder how/if the mother was able to give informed consent for her newborn to receive this treatment.
Something there just bothers me.
A man told me that for a woman, I was very opinionated. I said, ‘for a man you’re kind of ignorant’.

That is a good comeback!

I think Anne Hathaway and Scarlett Johansson should make a movie together (maybe a buddy cop movie, and Amy Poehler writes/directs/cameos) almost for the express purpose of doing a press junket where they open with, “If you ask a bullshit sexist question, not only will we not answer it, we’ll just laugh and say, “Can you believe this shit?”“

All they [Hobby Lobby] are asking for is a narrow exemption from the law that says they don’t have to provide drugs they believe cause abortions,” Hobby Lobby attorney Kyle Duncan told CNN affiliate KFOR before Sotomayor’s ruling. “Our basic point is the government can’t put a corporation in the position of choosing between its faith and following the law.

Following that same argument, Hobby Lobby is arguing that I should be exempt from paying any federal taxes to be used by the Defense Department or CIA killing of the innocent in drone attacks, or by the Justice Department or my state to lock up brown people in disproportionate numbers to white people for the same crimes, right? I’d also like a refund of all the Federal tax money that was used to pay for the invasion, occupation, and destruction of Vietnam and Iraq, the War on Drugs, the War on Terror, the entire Department of Homeland Security, all foreign military bases, and 40 years of party primary elections. Then we can work on ending all tax-financed subsidies of any kind to private enterprise, and start making broadcast media pay for their share of public bandwith.
I have serious moral objections to my money paying for all of the above, but I can’t seem to find anyone willing to take me seriously. I guess I’m just not Christian enough for them.

Probably not. Don’t you know that the validity of your religion is directly correlated with your net worth? Only billionaire CEOs can afford to have crises of conscience nowadays.

I have a serious problem with this outside of the fact that Hobby Lobby is in violation of the law of the land and it’s the wording of their lawyer’s defense and the foundation of Hobby Lobby’s basis for what they are doing.
BELIEVING that something causes an abortion is not good enough to deny people healthcare. There is an overwhelming amount of evidence that hormonal contraceptives DO NOT cause abortions. Can the owners of Hobby Lobby even tell me how they think hormonal contraceptives work?
Believing that something does something when there is an overwhelming amount of evidence that it doesn’t is merely denying reality. It’s delusional to believe that hormonal contraceptives cause abortions in the face of so much evidence that states they don’t and people’s healthcare is really not something where faith and belief are good enough reasons to deny such care.
The fact that Hobby Lobby is standing by this ridiculous claim when there is an astounding amount of evidence that disproves it really shows that the reason Hobby Lobby is fighting for this exemption is because the owners of it believe it is acceptable to force their religious beliefs on to their employees. Because if there’s one thing Jesus would do, it’s deny people health care, amirite?

But also, a corporation doesn’t have a faith. Therefore, it is impossible for the government to put a corporation in the position of choosing between its faith and the law.

If there’s one thing I’m thankful for, it’s that Flapjack doesn’t have any thumbs. Because it’s all that’s between him and world domination.

Isla was walking around with her bottle in her mouth, fell on it and got a cut in the roof of her mouth. There was lots of crying and bleeding. I repeatedly suggested we go to the emergency room. After some quick googling on Kellen’s part, some distracting games of patty cake, and some sips of cold water, and Isla was more or less okay. She wouldn’t be put down again until bath time, but. I won’t be letting her carry ANYTHING while walking again for a long, long time.
I gather any kind of baby injury in the mouth region is really scary because even if it’s not that bad from an injury standpoint, it’s really bleed-y. I went down a flight of stairs* when I was about 8 months old (it was the day after Reagan was shot) and took out my first tooth and even over 30 years later my mom still says how horrifying it was.
*Yes, people like me are why those things you put little kiddos in don’t really roll anymore.

We hear there is a MONSTER at the end of this book.
(And we probably do not want monsters on Tumblr now, do we?)
Meeeeeeemories.
We have met the monster and he… is… US.
“On the third day of Archives, an archivist brought to me
three happy girls on West Virginia’s 100th birthday,
two San Francisco children painting,
and one astronaut in space.”

West Virginia’s 100th birthday—assuming we are talking admission to the Union—was in 1963, not 1973. Dunno if this means these women are not celebrating that or the photo is ten years older than noted in the description.

Well then.
