About 3 blocks from my MIL's house someone tossed a newborn baby from a car. [link] Happily the baby will be fine, but you know the only thing on television around here today. Unreal. Like they couldn't find dozens of hospitals to drop the child at if they didn't want him. Thankfully they won't get to raise the boy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Uniquely American these days is working three jobs, none of them with health benefits.
Did the third world disapppear overnight? It's not unique, it's not American. It's just unfortunate.
Laura -- I don't get that either. Post partum insanity? Fear of ... judgment? I dunno.

There've been two abandoned newborns in Chicago this week - one of them thankfully left at a church in between services. The other, not so much.
ER: Hip displaysia? I thought only dogs got that.
Yay for new dog, Scrappy.

What is even happening?
Laura, do you have a safe haven law in your state? We finally do. I thought it would never get here. Thank goodness the baby is safe. I hope the mother gets medical care.

I shudder to think of the process of determining precisely who is eligible for this menstrual leave.

Allyson with plans like those, I think you're obligated to take a bad hair day, so the rest of us can live through you.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
ita, I've got an employee who would march in the streets for that. She calls out every single month. We've told her to please adjust her work schedule around it, and she doesn't, and she calls the other employees and tells whoever picks up, be it husband or answering machine, exactly why she needs someone to cover her shift.
(Also, I couldn't get to the article without a login- is there a Buffista one?)

Laura, do you have a safe haven law in your state?
Yes. They could have dropped the baby no questions asked at any fire station, which in Lauderdale not tough to find. This should probably be more well known.
