I totally used to keep an app on my phone tracking my periods solely for this reason - I was sick of feeling like an idiot at the doctor’s office.

Any time I go to an OB/GYN, it seems like doctors are less and less likely to do an actual exam. Apparently I only need a pap smear once every three years (waaay different than the once a year recommendation I got at 18), and at my postpartum visit, the nurse practitioner didn’t even look at how my episiotomy was…

A role where the star has to look like she has trouble processing and portraying emotions? It was the part Kristin Stewart was born to play, baby!

1.) Is it legal to sell cyanide? I can’t seem to find any indication that it’s not legal.

This lady is racist as fuck, but I do think the suit has some merit. If an interracial black (male) white (female) couple paid money to have a black man’s sperm inseminated and got a white man’s sperm inseminated instead, I think that suit would also have value. The sperm bank should be held accountable for only…

Just one more reason I’m happy I went with the arm implant over the IUD.

In case anyone wants to petition the White House to accept more Syrian refugees, you can do so here: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov//petition/auth…

I read a lot of female writers. Some write great literature, some write airplane reads. Weiner falls in the high end of the second category. I would be way more sympathetic to Weiner if it weren’t painfully obvious that she thinks she is writing far better books than she actually is.

My dad gave me a sip of whiskey when I was about nine years old and asked what it tasted like. That kept me off it until the college years started.

I don’t like blaming victims, but I also don’t like pretending that there’s no such thing as safer behavior. I have both a son and daughter. I’d like to think that I can advise both of them, when they’re older, if they can help it, to not wander down a street drunk in their underwear at 3 AM, because it places them at…

My family comes from the Irish American Catholic tradition of getting drunk as fuck at wakes and funeral receptions. Everyone starts singing, sometimes dancing, laughing, and telling funny stories about the deceased (see The Pogues song “Body of an American” for an idea of what I’m talking about). So the weird…

I can’t read about head lice without my head starting to itch.

The poster is fine. Ivy League kids protest over the most trivial bullshit, I swear to God.

Pssst... kid... just say it’s “triggering” and no one will question your need for an alternate book.

I have no idea who killed Hae, but I also don’t understand how a high schooler in 1999 (and I was one at that time) lends his car and brand new cell phone to someone he claims to barely know for a day.

Life goal: be a hobo.

Congratulations, Mei Xiang. I hope you’re prepared for a lifetime of “Are they twins? Really? Are they identical or fraternal? Are you sure? So, do twins run in your family? So how did you end up with twins? Did you use fertility medication? Wow, you have your hands full! Which one’s the evil one?”

I’m just confused because I’ve never ordered delivery and not had the card charged at the time of the order, before the food ever leaves the restaurant.

I’m 29 and I find infant TWINS fucking exhausting. Quads? In my 60’s? Noooooope!

Between this and the news of ISIS using chemical weapons, I feel like someone in the U.S. government is tactically leaking intelligence in order to build the case for increased military intervention.
