Wait, what is that fucking voice? Why is there no context for the voice she is doing?!

What ethnicity/community are you talking about?

When I was reading that part, I kept thinking that THIS is why we need a single payer health care system. It is ridiculous to have to rely on your employer for health care to be on a transplant list. I know the Affordable Care Act changes that, but the system is still so complex.

Getting a tattoo when you’re not like, part of the subculture of tattoos, can be a weird, kind of frustrating experience (I say this as someone who has a number of non-visible tattoos, but who is a very white-collar, corporate button-up type). There’s definitely a push and pull between the client and artist (it’s…

??????? It is a method.

Any doctor that let your sisters drive home two days after a c-section is wildly irresponsible. The recommended mimimum is four weeks. Also, no they didn’t. Seriously. I don’t know why you feel you should correct me about c-sections when I’ve had one and you haven’t, but even a cursory Google will tell you it’s nearly…

I seriously have a pregnancy phobia, I can barely even look at pregnant women. It looks sooooo uncomfortable! Getting an abortion cannot be worse than that, lol.

Seriously. I’ve had an abortion and a birth, and it’s like stubbing your toe vs losing your toe due to ongoing diabetes. There’s no comparison.

After my unexpected c-section, I couldn’t walk upright for almost two weeks, bled horribly, had little help (stationed on an island with no family, and husband had to go back to work a few days later - he was a doctor at the hospital in which I delivered), and since I can’t take any normal opiate pain meds, did it all…

The part you quoted

“Abortion is not just a simple medical procedure,” it read. “For many women, it is a life-changing event with significant physical, emotional and spiritual consequences. Most women who struggle with past abortions say that they wish they had been told all of the facts about abortion.”

“So… you’re still abortion-minded, even if you happen to be tubally pregnant?” she asked.

Motion that no one gets their nails done unless they can afford to tip 100% tbh

Right? Like, especially the 25th dude. But all I can think about is what a raging UTI this must have caused. Is there a world record for number of sexual partners in one day?

I thought the moral of the story was be white and attractive all you'll have all the monies and people will like you.

Haha, yes, it's exactly the same. One of the most affecting stories I've heard on TAL in a while.

I didn't think that Kara meant "White people! Explain these things to black people!" when she wrote "you." I inferred that it was addressed to some vague "you." The "you" that supports the militarization of the police and doesn't question why these things happen disproportionately to the black community, the "you"…

"Why is there poop on my thong?"

Dude, thongs are and always have been mystifying torture devices to me. Why the fuck is fact that you are wearing underpants is supposed to be a secret. "BEHOLD, I SPY A PANTY'S LINE, THIS ADULT WOMAN IS WEARING PANTIES AND I CAN PROVE IT, call the police, shame her," etc.

We are all wearing underwear. (Er, 99 percent…
