For what it's worth, the surgical option was actually less expensive for me and in a sense, easier. I imagine that price will vary from clinic to clinic. In my case, the surgical option was about $100 less. Also, when you do a medical (pill) procedure, you basically spend one day at the clinic getting an exam and…

I am a Colorado parent, and I can confirm that the anti-reality crowd is shitting themselves over the possibility of marijuana candy. I am not worried, myself. Hey, if you want to help my 5 year old go to bed, that's fine by me.

We're all inundated with these cultural messages from childhood, some of that shit is going to stick no matter…

But they'll charge me extra if I check it!

Indian girl here: my dad wears suits to travel in order to avoid harassment from airport security and 3 hour interrogations that cause him to miss his flights because "flying while brown". My mom and I wear dresses because we've endured YEARS of the same bullshit too. And this is not just flying domestically (I'm…

I really hate the whole idea of states, in general. Americans should have the same rights everywhere, regardless of arbitrary state borders enacted over a couple hundred years of theft and murder. Why should women in Missouri (or Mississippi, or Texas, or...) be unduly burned by their state legislatures when citizens…

Should we really be surprised?
