I am sorry she was put into a situation where she felt that was her only option. I imagine it was extremely emotionally, physically, and mentally painful and draining, and I weep for her, truly. She deserved better care than this, and it exemplifies the massive gaps in our healthcare system re: birth control,…

It’s also important to know the geography of Georgia when we talk about access. She’s in southwest Georgia, about two hours from the closest clinic (that probably also services much of eastern Alabama and middle Georgia). There are a lot of clinics in Atlanta, but it’s not the easiest drive and Georgia has a 24 hour…

Medically speaking, the fact that the premature infant (not technically a fetus) was alive for a few minutes after birth is unsurprising and shouldn’t make this more criminal than any other late term abortion. At 5.5 months, the heart is well-developed; the lungs, not so much. This delivery would only have been viable…

Traditionally, a female relative takes the title of First Lady should the President not have a wife to fill that role. President Buchanan’s niece was his First Lady.

Thank you!

My wedding itself was a disaster, thanks to mommy dearest. Since the big wedding plans got cancelled, we were going to elope with just our photographers - we ended up inviting a few family members. ANYWAY. We went to a cupcake store while we were taking our pictures before we got married/met up with everyone, and…

True story. My sister once raised money to save the Brazilian Rain Forest despite the fact that she’s not, in fact, a marmoset.

Shows up as “Content Unavailable” on my device, therefore I'm left to assume that boyfriends cat is actually a ghost spirit.

I’d give a lot for a spinoff show about Wun Wun the giant trying to live in a small person world. My favorite part of this episode was seeing him walking along with all the little people.

Dear Helen Mirren,

What is it with some American people and kids? Kids are part of the community. Parents are part of the community. But people get so pissed when parents for one reason or another with or without privilege end up bringing kids to a “designated non-kid” space (of which there are many more here than in any other country I…

Okay first off I am trans and second I don’t think you are a bigot. Here is the thing. Caitlyn Jenner will not ever be a cisgender woman. You are right. She will always be a transwoman. There are different ways of being a woman, or being a man. See it’s not just the ‘transition’ part that makes you a trans woman or in…

It’s understandable how there would be confusion and questions. Perhaps this graphic will help (which I got from here, FYI):

“Gender” is a personal/cultural/social construct, not a biological one. You can switch genders as often as you switch your clothes if that’s what suits you. Jenner will always have that pesky Y-chromosome, yes, but it’s really a moot point in terms of her identity.

She never switched genders. Sex is not the same as gender. Problem solved. You’re welcome.

From the beginning I said I didn’t want a strapless gown, and yet that’s what I wound up with. But I’m petite and the gowns with straps looked ridiculous on me in the sample sizes, even when they clipped the shit out of them. It was really difficult to tell what one of those dresses would look like on me when it was…

You could make the same comments about clothes, eating out, cat food/vet bills/cat litter (oh god my cat is so expensive), coffee, alcohol,...

It’s all balancing. If you want to spend money on a wedding, then do it. As long as you’re not over extending yourself and saving some along then way then you’ll be ok. Life is…

Here’s the thing. Most people mean well. They really do. They just don’t know what the fuck to say or what the fuck to do. So we make casseroles.

I will remember to use “how are you today?” after reading this.

I hope she can feel pure joy again- it seems terribly unfair for that to be taken away forever.
