Emily Yoffe is a rape apologist who won’t even deign to protect children from predators. Obviously she is going to victim-blame when it comes to college women. She has written about how she believes possession of images/video of child sexual assault (often referred to using the problematic term, ‘child porn’) should…

LASIK has one of the highest rates of patient satisfactions among elective surgeries. I read that it was something like 96% of LASIK patients are satisfied with the outcomes. Unfortunately, I was one of the 4% with complications. I got LASIK in 2011, and even though my vision is 20/20, I still have to wear glasses, my…
I experienced several nurses who were downright abusive. Complaining to the hospital did absolutely nothing, and my grievances were shut down at every turn. However, I was also named in honor of a family member who was a nurse. There are good and bad people in all professions.
Any time that you fly on a smaller aircraft, they weigh the luggage and ask for your body weight. This is not new.
Yeah, imitation crab is made from fish, not shellfish.
The facial feminization surgery she had to shave down the bones on her face had to have cost at least $40k. It is way out of reach for most trans* women.
Do you know what snow is? There is a lot of snow in Colorado and freezing temperatures in the winter. Most sane people allow their car to warm up while they scrape the ice and stuff. Many people in neighborhoods let the car run and then go back inside to warm up. The police want this to stop, so they started…
There’s also the potential issue of sexual pleasure after hysterectomy. On the plus side, you don’t have to get pap smears if your cervix is removed, but the downside is that removing your uterus and cervix could impact your sexual desire — not all women, but I have friends who have had hysterectomies (leaving the…
Schwiiiinnnnggg!
I worked with a woman who heard me mention meditation and yoga, and her gasp could have been heard in Peru. She told me that meditation and yoga “opens you up to evil spirits” and that I should go get an exorcism. After that, if I ever lost patience with her she would be quick to remind me that these were obvious…
Ah, the pearl-clutching accusations of hypocrisy. Part of the issue is that someone is publishing this as “art”. There have been many instances where people find and publish photos, and end up being sued for it. Tad’s 8-Way Santa album cover comes to mind. The couple featured on that album cover ended up converting to…
Man, just get a Costco membership and designate a closet. I have never really admitted this before, but I always lived in secret fear of running out of paper goods. I used to scrimp and pinch to make my supply last longer, but I've never been happier than since I started stocking up on insane amounts of Cottonelle…
I have a Pax vaporizer. it is perfect for smoking in the shower.
I feel zero shame for how much I adore Taylor Swift. She shares my love of cats. The SNL "Swiftamine" sketch was hilarious. I love you, Taylor, you're perfect!
unfortunately, the "demonic possession" is a very common belief among Evangelicals. I worked with a batshit insane Evangelical woman who regularly told me that I should never meditate or do yoga because it would "open up a route for evil spirits". When I lost my temper with her once, she self-righteously told me I…
Exactly. We have tests now for HIV and hepatitis, but before we developed those tests, millions of people became infected from the blood supply. The FDA needs to guard against the new diseases that we don't yet have tests for, which means excluding high-risk donors.
Man, I don't even have a weiner, and I was cringing while reading this. Yikes.
Maybe you have an abnormally low pain tolerance (gingers are infamous for needing more pain meds than others — however, studies have shown that doctors rate pain experienced by black patients as lower, so if you are black you are statistically the least likely to receive adequate pain relief), because most dudes I…
The article said that the couple only asked for 3 months' incarceration, and the prosecution was looking for a full year. The judge sentenced her to 1 year of house arrest, and 5 years probation, plus it sounds like the couple has what is essentially a 10-year protective order. Rowe is 53 years old and with this much…
