*Her rights, the deceased doctor was a woman, her husband is the one suing

Not to dissect the frog on the complaining-about-dissecting-the-frog post, but my interpretation was that those sorts of responses are less on the admonishing OP or their friends for having fun shenanigans, and more of as a heads-up to other players reading it why their DM might not allow the same shenanigans if they were to do similarly in their game. Plenty of folks on here are not 100% versed on every D&D rule out there, and I think it's okay to make informative comments that help people learn the game better.

I'm sorry to hear @[email protected], that is really devastating. I don't know much about this, but I stumbled across this blog post with some advice if that helps.

It sounds like they've broken up, so unfortunately couples therapy isn't likely to be on the table, you can't realistically ask that of an ex.

My guess is that Judy Blume writes about girls going through puberty and getting periods as a normal, frank discussion of what that's like. And any talk about the bodies of women and girls is indecent to conservatives.

Diatomaceous earth only works when it's dry, fyi, so that can be tricky directly in the garden where things are bound to get wet.

I've heard that peppermint essential oil can deter insects, but it does come with the side effect of smelling like you live inside a diner mint, for better or worse.

*She. Please don't misgender her, it plays right into these transphobes' hands of questioning her gender.

There's a lot of dog whistles in these TERF/fascist-lite spaces, but one of the early items JKR advocated for was sending trans women to men's prisons. You should be able to look this up, it's well known. Would you not agree that that is wishing harm and/or death on trans women?

I'm sure there are plenty more dog whistles that have happened after that one that I'm not versed in, but hopefully that gives you a jumping off point in your fact checking. I'd recommend videos by Shaun, Jesse Gender, and ContraPoints if you are interested in more compilations and perspectives.

The article states priority goes to resident households at 80% or below the area's median income, and then up to 150% as available. For Seattle residents (where the median appears to be $115k) that range is below $92k first, and then up to $172.5k household income (not accounting for household composition). If you meet either of those criteria, it probably can't hurt to apply!

Yeah, but are they paying any of their own money to take care of those kids for two decades?

Yes. Taxes. People without kids still pay taxes for things like education, meal programs, etc. People with kids get a tax break to compensate for the cost of raising kids. You're asking for something already built into how we support parents and children in America.
