Yeah that was SO WEIRD. I honestly think Paul Ryan believes what he does is creating equality for everyone because he comes from the very privileged perspective that everyone can be like Alexander Hamilton. That ANYONE can make themselves into a better person no matter where they come from and thus they don’t need…

So true about George Washington. We really forget how revolutionary a democratic republic was at that time when pretty much every part of the known world was ruled by monarchs. The fact that our “ruler” stepped aside after 8 years voluntarily so that his country could pick another man to lead really was amazing.…

Fun fact: one of the show’s first big ads was a parody of that commercial.

excellent! I knew there had to be a good explanation!

One of the great delights for me in my wife’s thorough Hamilton cult membership is in hearing her explaining to her friends and fellow Hamiltonians a lot of the influences and references from rap and hip-hop upon the score—knowledge that that she’s picked up over the 15 years she’s lived alongside an unrepentant rap…

Donated. If anything, this election is getting us to talk about some really difficult shit, as a nation/planet.

It’s not a single issue, it’s merely the most prominent one that comes to many people’s minds. Pence is bad on nearly all civil rights, but also on the economy. Pence managed to start an AIDS epidemic in his own state because he hates women so much and also wants to cut taxes for his buddies. Jez commenters will…

Sorry Pence, this campaign is in it’s 14th month. Too late to abort now.

I saw someone on Twitter suggest that the whole beautiful magical night could be heaven. I’m clinging to that theory. The last shot slayed me.

Chang is the best

Just an ETA I spoke to dr. Hern. It was amazing. And I will be donating tomorrow. He was awesome and gracious. Please get this out of the grays. If only so people can donate!

Thanks, I sent along a Whole Foods gift card! Super easy to have it sent to them via Amazon, for anyone who wants to go digital

the woman literally emailed me right after the story went up to say “i’m glad you told that commenter to fuck off”

If you think that the headline VILIFIES her by simply stating she had an abortion at 32 weeks, then you are *not* pro-choice my friend. Try again.

yeah but no. know what site you’re reading. gawker / jez would never villify a woman for her choice to have an abortion. i don’t buy it. also, there is absolutely no language in the title that you couldn’t take at face value. it was so straightforward, dunno HOW you’d ever read “interview with a woman who recently had…

I didn’t see this right away and I called Dr. Hern’s office to ask how I could donate money directly to the practice. I had a fifteen-minute conversation with Dr. Hern himself. In addition to being a hero, he is a very humble and cool guy.

This feeds the incredibly damaging narrative of “Good abortions vs. Bad abortions.” The whole point is that women should be allowed to access health care without having to prove they deserve it. The headlines isn’t click bait but it raises an interesting question : who are you to decide her decision oy to remain…

This article tells us what happens when women have abortions that late. This is why late-term abortion needs to remain legal. Women are not deciding on a whim to have abortions at 32 weeks. It is done for medical reasons.

I was horrified by the title and then immediately realized it was misleading.

fuck off
