a judge dismissed a lawsuit from a civilian engineer after it was determined that her report of being raped in her bed aboard a Navý transport ship was within her duties and must be treated as a worker's compensation claim.
To be clear, in Hegseth's military, rape is just a "work related injury" or "routine" job risk. This is what happens when sexual assaulters are in charge.
Seeing people say not to wear a bra in Dollys memory and that feels wrong. You should wear your strongest, most expensive and glittery push up bra in her honor...
Indigenous people riding out to rescue wild horses from being killed is another reminder of a debt America has never fully acknowledged.
They keep protecting the land and its living history while the country that took so much from them keeps asking them to prove why it matters.
monica and chandler were the real friends love story because imagine finding a man who knows you’re clinically particular and instead of asking you to “relax” he learns the filing system...
Dolly Parton spent years writing checks to put 150 million books into the hands of children. What an extraordinary legacy of giving, love and investing in the next generation. Rest in Peace queen
She’s spoken about it since with the same honesty she brings to everything else, including how it shaped her path to not having biological children and how she has made peace with it by living a life filled with love.
What made her story matter was that she said it out loud. She named a condition that millions of women were quietly suffering through, unsure if what they felt was even real. Her willingness to speak up is part of why the gap in care is closing.
Long before “endometriosis” was a word most people recognized, Dolly Parton was living it.
She dealt with years of severe pelvic pain and heavy bleeding. The kind of symptoms so many women are told are just “part of being a woman.”
In the 1980s, hysterectomy was often the only option a woman with severe endometriosis was offered, essentially ending any possibility of motherhood in exchange for relief from pain. In 1984, she had the procedure.
Sometimes, when someone dies, what helps me is thinking about how wonderful it is that they were even alive in the first place.
Dolly Parton was the closest you could get to an American saint. We all loved her.
I guess losing your generational cattle ranch is a small price to pay to be able to protect and support a rapist pedophile. You’re having the day you voted for.
One of the clearest signs of sincerity is consistency, especially when there’s nothing to gain. They’re kind even when no one’s watching, they keep their word even when it’s inconvenient, and their actions actually match what they say. They don’t have to keep proving that they care, you just feel it in the way they treat you. Sincere people don’t always make a big show of it. They just show up and mean what they say.
As a woman, here is what bothers me in public restrooms:
• pee on the seat
• hand dryers rather than paper towels
• empty soap dispensers
• no purse hook
• people using a speaker phone while peeing (just why)
• no full length mirror near the exit
Here’s what has NEVER bothered me in public restrooms:
• Transwomen existing
PROTECT THE DOLLS
Where America is right now:
The left is cheering a man dressed as a Spider-Man for punching a Nazi.
The right is booing a man wearing a shirt about executing pedophiles.
Men, if you were surrounded by 1,000 lions and told only 100 of them were man-eaters, you’d still be afraid of all 1,000 lions, wouldn’t you?
That’s how women feel around men.
