New Jersey did expand Medicaid, but there’s supposed to be an exemption from the fee if you can’t get affordable health insurance. So presumably those people who should get Medicaid, but can’t because their state government are assholes, shouldn’t have to pay the fine for not having insurance. Don’t know all the…

A lot of women on medicaid go there. The bulk of their govt funding comes from reimbursement for providing services to medicaid patients. Many doctors do not take medicaid. PP is one of the few that provides these type of services in many areas. Furthermore, just because it’s the law that everyone have health…

Paul Ryan admits it’s not even about the videos. He wants PP punished solely because they provide abortions. That is, if he can’t ban abortion outright.

Ha, as a vegetarian I actually like the fact that they don’t taste like real meat. I love veggie burgers. I think i’ll stick with those.

Did you have a hard time eating meat again? I’ve been vegetarian for almost 18 years myself and I think I’d be healthier if I started eating fish again. I’ve tried to eat it a couple times and it was just....blech. Meat grosses me out. I don’t even think I could eat lab created meat.

My 2 year old son goes into the cabinet and brings me a tampon every time I sit on the toilet. Trained him well!

It’s not really over yet, in Texas. Still far too hot to go outside in the afternoon. But hey, at least the mornings and evenings aren’t unbearable anymore, amirite?

YES! I totally get seasonal affective disorder in the summer when I’m trapped indoors with all the blinds shut to try and stay comfortable. I FUCKING HATE TEXAS SO FUCKING MUCH. I never want to live in the south again. As soon as my husband finds a job elsewhere, we’re out of here.

As someone who lives in the area, I can tell you that white people have white flighted it out of this school district years ago. MacArthur is less than 14% non-Hispanic white. And officially, people of middle eastern descent are counted as white.

YES! I wish I could star this 100 times.

I just recently started following him on Twitter and I’m getting the same impression. I liked him better in small doses.

Unfortunately, even adblock can’t get rid of those stupid fake article ads at the bottom. So now those are cropping up everywhere like vermin. At least on Jezebel they aren’t in the middle of the content.

Yeah, I’ve never orgasmed from anything but masturbation. I think if I orgasmed from any kind of sex I might feel differently.

The problem is that pretty much everyone has a high libido in the first year or two. By the time those new relationship hormones wear off, you tend to be pretty committed already. Even if you’ve had a low libido in the past, it’s not something you want to bring up early in the relationship, because maybe your ex just…

I had reconstructive surgery at 3 months postpartum cause my tear didn’t heal right. The recovery was still a nightmare and I still have to be really careful during sex because the area where the two sides of my vagina were stitched together hurts like hell if it is pulled or rubbed wrong. My second was a c-section…

hahahaha scar tissue is pretty bad at springing back into shape. I don’t know if stretching out is the worst concern here. How about, having the entrance of your vagina coated in scar tissue bc a baby head just exploded out of there and never feeling the same again. It suuuuuuucks.

Me too. Sometimes I question if I’m really bisexual or if I’ve just internalized our society’s presentation of women’s bodies as equal to sex. I’ve never had the chance to be with a woman so I don’t know for sure. It’s just easier to be with men as there are far more opportunities to do so.

Exactly. What a lot of men (and young childless people) don’t get is the mental work of running a household. My husband knows how to mop a floor and shit. I mean, he’s incredibly lazy and rarely does it without being asked, so I’m sure the house will be a pig sty if I’m gone. But what I really worry about is keeping…

Before we got together, my husband always paid his bills late, overdrew his account, etc. His parents are terrible with money and he’s too absent minded about prioritizing tasks outside of his paid job. Don’t ask me how that works.

Yes, they are protesting Planned Parenthood here today even though 1) our clinic shut down and 2) it never performed abortions in the first place, only health services.
