It's a really weird case. It sounds like a hysterectomy was a not-unreasonable surgery for the condition, and the doctors proceeded on that assumption, but it just... wasn't made clear to the patient, somehow. It's mystifying how it even happened. Read more

You wouldn't want to make a doctor pay through the nose if she removed a major organ without proper informed consent? Read more

Oh god but it would be such a CATASTROPHE. Now they've got the CGI but the sexual politics, yiiiiiiikes. Read more

So many small, genius touches. Kit Harrington looking at the puppy in befuddlement. Sansa jumping up and clapping. Read more

To be fair it's like 89%, though. Read more

I think it's important to remember when the women in this study were likely having children, though. Wealthier people have always been healthier, I'm sure, but I'm guessing you didn't have the same delayed childrearing situation. Read more

In fact, that's exactly what these researchers are suggesting: Read more

Nobody's suggesting that having kids later causes you to live longer. The researchers suggest there might, possibly, be a common genetic root to living a really long time and conceiving and carrying a child later in life. Read more

This is, generally, what kills me about fashion. If only there were some technology that allowed us to stop a trend at the perfect moment where it is most flattering, instead of fully flowering into hideous absurdity. Slimmer-cut pants are way better than parachute pants but can we NOT do this whole… Read more

Very upset by this image. Read more

That's what kills me! No one was like... HANG ON A SEC? Just do a short two-line email saying "thanks y'all" and get out. It's like they worked at bungling it. Read more

I think she explained pretty eloquently why she feels it's worthwhile to stay: "If you're part of a community, the answer isn't to leave that community, even if it needs repairs or to be more inclusive." You're certainly not obligated to agree with Mormonism (it's not a religion I'll be signing up for anytime soon)… Read more

In their defense, they issued me a (generous) partial refund to replace the buttons. But I just know that damn skirt is going to sit there unmended for, like, 3 weeks at least. Read more

In plus-sizes? Maybe we've just got different taste and we're looking at different items. You definitely have to check the garment details, but I've found a lot more options on Modcloth. Read more

Another great thing Modcloth does is that you can chat with customer service reps and they'll give you specific dimensions for specific items. (You might have to wait a day or two if they don't have it in the system, but they've always gotten it for me.) Which speaks to the customer service part of this — they're not… Read more

Their cheaper stuff in plus is often similarly unimpressive, but there's a lot of pricier plus options that are lined and generally pretty well-made. Which I'm fine with, because we've got a couple of good cheap options already — the pain point in my wardrobe for years has been, like, dresses to wear to graduations… Read more

I'm not really being critical here? I'm just saying it's not THE GLORIOUS PLUS-SIZE REVOLUTION, COMRADES Read more

They refunded me some money to replace them, and that was great of them, but it's still just a pain, you know? Read more

Well, I think an important detail is that the Mormon Church has the doctrine of "continuing revelation," which says that God still drops by to issue new commands or clarifications. It's not like, say, evangelical Christianity where Jesus said "Upon this rock I build my Church, BRB, just keep doing like you're doing… Read more
