One time my friend Rebecca and I were driving in the car (circa 2005) and she turned to me and said, “ What is R- Kansas?” and I looked at her v confused for about 2 minutes until it dawned on me and I replied, “Do you mean fucking Arkansas?”

I think being rich helps.

I'm an old goth anyway, I don't do beaches. I'm in!

I grew up here, so no honeymoon for me. Let's GoFundMe a long vacation away from California. Somewhere with water.

It sounds like you did society a favor by not letter than asshole’s spawn into the world.

There probably *is* someone in Edinburgh who claims to be 1/16 Apache *and* descended from Braveheart.

Very true. I’ve had bad relationships myself, including a physical and emotionally abusive one, and I can’t say I regret it, because it taught me to treat myself better and that I deserve better. Life is a journey, and you may have some detours, but it’s best to try and enjoy the ride.

Ho.Ly.Crap. All of the rage at that idiot fucker and all of the hugs to you for getting the fuck out of dodge.

I don’t regret mine at all. I even went on to marry the guy and have a baby with him a dozen years later. If I’d been forced to carry to term then, I’d be a single mother living in poverty and it would not be pretty.

You should regret none of it. You are a better person for all of it, if you ask me. It’s a tough lesson to learn, that you deserve better, but you learned it. Much love to you from Ohio.

mine told me if I ever left him he would find me and take a razor blade to my face, cutting me a new Heath Ledger sized smile (this was long before the movie but its a great reference). Then he laughed and said he was joking. He also said if I tried to leave his place he would set his dogs on me. Yeah, so I told that…

Oh god, when someone mentioned her wearing a headdress on FB I thought they were taking the piss, I can’t believe it. I mean, that’s not even the Scottish way to dress like a wanker at a festival...

I have it on good authority that women are actually different species than men and can only be observed from a pure biological lens. Women be like, am I right?

“You know what, I really regret that abortion I had when I was a single, 23-year-old in the middle of my doctorate degree,” said no-one ever.

Zero regret. Senior year in college, married with a 2 year old (planned, born a year and half after the wedding) and then a pregnancy as a result of failed contraceptive. We had gone through pre-marital counseling ANNDD, get this, AND family planning counseling at Planned Parenthood (cuz they do that!) and agreed that…

It’s almost like women are humans who generally know what’s best for them and their lives.

In other news- water is wet, and the sky is blue, and pro-lifers are full of horseshit.

Smartest thing I ever did, just ahead of ditching the loser who knocked me up.

In Dubai I see my middle school girls students reading Malala’s biography all the time. This is their hero. This is the girl that took a bullet to the head that she didn’t have to when she stood up on that bus and said, “I am Malala, who is asking?” to the cowards who came to kill her. She stood up, at 15 years…
