Do you think, if you absolutely had to, that you could staff and rub a Taco Bell with only zombies?

@TheBlondeRN Check out subreddits twoxchromosomes and childfree. One of them (maybe both) has lists of female-friendly OBGYN’s

@MsJanet8591 @JoJoFromJerz Listen, the fact that I think Donald Trump needs to rot in prison does not mean that I think Joe Biden is any LESS of an asshole. Far as I’m concerned they can both rot in prison.

Dear Ma & Pa MAGA, Donald trump is not being “indicted for you.” He‘s never done a thing for you. Here’s what he promised you: He said he would lower drug prices. He didn’t. He said he’d protect people with pre-existing conditions. He didn’t. He said he would repeal the Affordable Care Act, and replace it with something “beautiful.” He didn’t. He promised to eliminate the federal deficit. He didn’t. As a matter of fact, he increased it by almost $7.8 trillion. He promised an infrastructure bill was coming in “2 weeks”. It never came. He promised to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it. He didn’t and they didn’t. He promised his tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations would pay for themselves. They won’t. In fact - they added $2 trillion to our national debt. He promised to end the opioid crisis, ‘bring back coal’, protect steel jobs, increase wages, stop factories from moving overseas, enact term limits, show his taxes & that Hillary Clinton would be “locked up”. He didn’t & she’s isn’t. He said he would make America great and put America first. He let a pandemic ravage the country unabated and kept our national security secrets in his bathroom. And here’s what he did: He used YOUR money to pay-off a porn star, mocked a disabled reporter, attacked a POW, bragged about sexual assault, got impeached (twice), lost re-election, plotted a coup, incited an insurrection, and stole highly classified documents he knew he wasn’t allowed to show anyone, but did. So now he has found himself indicted on 34 state felony counts & 37 federal ones, all while still facing many more. He didn’t do any of that “for you”. He’s an incurious, incompetent imbecile, who is as corrupt and self-obsessed as he is dumb. And he’s really, really dumb. He’s a sociopathic traitor who’s done nothing for you. Nothing. He’s being indicted because of HIS actions. His selfishness. His disregard for the law and for the safety of our citizens. Because the truth is, that aside from how much money you’ll send him to pay his many, many lawyers, that he doesn’t give a f*ck about you. He doesn’t do anything for anyone but himself. And getting indicted is 100% about him. Not you. Believe me.

Conservatives freak out about big cities, but the actually scary places are medium density cities you've never heard of that haven't had any jobs since the 70s

One time in high school I wrote a satirical how-to paper about using the football team to take over the world by bribing them with cheeseburgers

Why are all the songs about pretty girls. Where are the songs about sleepy girls. I am a sleepy girl. I need a theme song too.

@EdKrassen I would need to do a little more research on the rate of “regret” in trans folk (I suspect it is quite low), but I would get two opinions from two different child psychs. If they agree, start puberty blockers. Once time is up w that, see again what child wants

Gender-affirming Care in Children - My opinion (please read & debate) Let's envision a scenario: You are a parent of a 13-year-old male child who constantly has said since early childhood that they feel as if they were meant to be a girl and insists they will be a girl when they grow up. If you aren't biased against transgenderism, you will have to debate what the right thing to do for that child is. Your two main options are as follows: (1) Hope that these feelings change and they outgrow them. (2) Visit with a pediatrician and a child psychologist to find out if your child has gender dysphoria and to discuss the possible use of puberty blockers. note: Puberty blockers usually have no lasting side effects. If you decide on option (1), you may still elect to speak to a pediatrician and a psychologist. Let's say that both of these individuals tell you that it is unlikely that your child will outgrow these feelings, and that puberty blockers are a good, safe way to prolong their options with very little chance of longterm side effects. You then weigh the following: A) Allow your child to start puberty blockers to extend the runway for an ultimate decision. B) Allow puberty to kick in, ensuring that a future transition to a transgender woman will be much less successful, and most likely cause your child to live a life in a body that they feel they don't belong in. As a parent who cares about their child, and whose ultimate goal is to see your child have longterm happiness and acceptance of who they are, you elect to start the puberty blockers until they are 15 or 16. At this point, you (along with a doctor and psychologist) need to decide on whether or not they should start hormone therapy to begin transitioning, or stop puberty blockers and let the male hormones turn them into a man. This is a super tough decision for parents. At this age the vast majority of teenagers know which gender they ultimately want to identify as and those who transition typically don't live to regret that decision (not everyone; there are a very small percentage that changes their minds later in life). So as parent you must decide what is best for your child: Let them transition and look more feminine in the long run, or allow the male hormones to kick in, ultimately masculinizing your child permanently against their wishes. Both options result in permanent changes to your child. In this case, either puberty gives them permanent male traits or hormones give them permanent female traits. It's a tough decision for parents who have no bias against transgenderism, who truly love their children and only want them to be happy in the long run. To some the idea might seem insane or ridiculous but that's not how every parent feels when it comes down to it. So ask yourself if the government should ultimately make this decision or should a parent, along with their child, a pediatrician and a psychologist make that decision? I believe it's the latter. I'd love to hear your thoughts. And for the record I am strictly against sex change surgeries for anyone under 18 years of age and don't know where I would stand on hormone therapy if it was my child. But I do know I don't want someone else making that decision for us based on political motives.

@peter_titmus @Berg16759979 @megynkelly Then you also get into trigger laws, plus Texas trying to fuck it up for everybody by challenging the FDA on the safety of mifepristone, etc etc etc, and it’s not exactly easy to obtain an abortion is it?

@peter_titmus @Berg16759979 @megynkelly Well but here’s the thing. Just because it’s LEGAL doesn’t mean it’s ACCESSIBLE. Take Illinois, for example. Abortion is legal until 24 weeks(ish), but for the southern half of the state, there is exactly one abortion clinic.

Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files. “We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.” The inside story 🧵
