Help please

Do any of you have experience with the law or know lawyers? I ask because I am pressing charges against the restaurant for firing me for being raped in their parking lot. I am working with an advocate group and they are providing me assistance free of charge.

force-ful asked: I was reading through comments on Brittany's escort story and noticed yours.

I'd love to talk to you about for experience or thoughts (or not, whatever you're comfortable with), but there are other kinds of Christians out there.
I still don't know what homestuck is

The Top 6 Reasons Why You Should Hate Dan Savage
forgetpolitics:
1. Dan Savage hates trans people and uses transphobic slurs.
“Children have a right to some stability and constancy from the adults in their lives. Perhaps I’m a transphobic bigot, but I honestly think waiting a measly 36 months to cut your dick is a sacrifice any father should be willing to make for his 15-year-old son. Call me old-fashioned.
Unfortunately, your ex wasn’t...

No means no, even when they’re toddlers
A few people have alerted me to this video of toddlers and you can watch as a little boy hugs a little girl multiple times and each time he does, she pushes him away. A few of the times, he seems to be prompted to continue by the person with the camera. It’s a full two minutes and nothing changes...

My 7 year old son: Mom? Thor is a god, right?
Me: Right. In Norse mythology, he was the god of thunder.
My son: And he was really strong and he could fly and fight and he protected people, right?
Me: I think so, yes. I don’t know a lot about Norse mythology, but I think he was generally a good guy that protected humans.
My son: And he was...
