Dude, I live in Illinois. We’re the Midwest. Knock it off.

As someone suggested in the last Jez story on this topic, maybe it’s time to start sending these legislators used pads and tampons, because embryonic tissue.

I used to really root for her and I stuck with it even after a lot of other people have stopped but I think it would be best FOR HER to fade into obscurity and live as normal of a life as she can

Okay so I know you were talking about, you know, ‘THE NORMAL’ healthy humans BUTTTTTT...

My parents couch and a couch my parents paid for are two completely different things.

Hey, my vault-dweller won’t level herself.

Lesbian Feminist Haunted house?!?!? That’s all.

They really don’t. But if you Google “Migratory” and “Worker”(for what ever it’s worth) all the results refer back to “migrant worker”. I think it’s the combo. Yes, they travel, but the use of the word “work” would seem to indicate that the location and the job (and the travel pattern) were firmly aligned (unlike…

I agree. He seems like a really nice person who tries to do good in the world. He isn’t the smartest person in the world so when he says these things I don't think he actually realizes what he is saying. So I find it easier to not hold this against him. It's likely that there will be some sort of apology for his tone…

I don’t think it’s nostalgia. I think it’s a phenomeno that’s worth discussion. Many couples say they weren’t trying but they weren’t trying not too, and have reported that for generations. It’s obviously great to have planned children, but I think it’s interesting and worthwhile to examine how we sometimes sidle into…

Yeah I got a goldilocks vibe at the beginning, like “This birth control isn't effective enough, this birth control is TOO effective :("

This is reading really privilege-y to me. There are some who have the privilege of accidental pregnancies being okay, or even welcomed. If that’s you, then don’t get an IUD. No one is making women get IUDs if they don’t want them.

“dribbles before he shoots”
oh fucking ew.

These discussions are always so focused on ourselves. Pregnancy by definition involves multiple people (a partner in reproduction who also consents to becoming a parent, a future child). Creating a whole new human being shouldn’t be a matter of “whoops”, and there’s no reason to be nostalgic about a time when it more…

“You know what the values tell you? Why are you 15-years-old and letting some boy take advantage of you?”

aw shit yall we got a trekkie ready to start some shit in here

*Speculation informed by some spoilers to follow*

And then proceeds to fix a botched rescue, take charge of the “boys” and makes it known, in no uncertain terms, she’s in charge and they’re following her plan.

Ok so. I’m a huge star wars nerd. And i’m dressing up opening day, missing work, and waiting in line. the whole shebang.

Jesus. I’m 34 and grew up with Star Wars. I went to see the updated films in theaters in the 90’s. I cut school to see the first showing of Phantom Menace having bought the tickets 3 weeks in advance. I have the original VHS box set that I am NEVER getting rid of since it’s the BEST version. And I wasn’t the only girl…
