Thank you!

Thank you! I can’t stress enough to people that access to reproductive health services means that every child is a very much wanted blessing, and not a burden.

No, they perform ultrasounds and give false information about abortion services to scared women looking for information. Maybe they’ll get some free baby clothes, but that’s it as far as actual support. These organizations are bullshit.

Thanks! I didn’t know that was an option, I’ll have to change to that. And I can’t decide if I want my family to know their Christmas presents have a little extra giving power this year, haha!

My life is better because of Planned Parenthood, with no doubts at all. I have never had an abortion, because I was able to get my birth control there when I didn’t have insurance and couldn’t otherwise afford it. In college, my boyfriend (now husband) attended a service academy, as such, he would have been asked to…

I wish I had the financial resources to donate every time I saw these kinds of disgusting lies printed.

I haven't watched cable news for years, but my dad has always been a hard core Fox News watcher (ugh), who used to constantly rag on CNN for being a liberal media outlet. In the last year or so, though, he's actually been watching CNN a fair amount. I thought it was progress, but maybe it's just gotten more…

Thanks!

Yay! I’m a serious introvert, so I usually dread social activities, but I love it when it turns out to be awesome. One of the times it’s good to be wrong :)

Love it, it turned out great!

Lots of great advice already here, but as a CNM/ former L&D nurse, here's my 2 cents - drink lots of water, eat lots of fruit, and lots of fiber. Take Motrin on a schedule, and while I generally don't recommend taking a narcotic prophylactically, don't be afraid to take them if needed, and don't wait until your pain…

Kinda grody Chardonnay on a plane back home. Thanksgiving with the in laws was fun, but there were some surprisingly tense moments, and I’m glad to be getting home. I’m sorry if this comes off as creepy, but in my travels today I saw a mug with a narwhal, and it made me hope your head was getting better, so I’m glad…

I'm so sorry that you went through that - divorce + holidays is rough. But it sounds like the right decision for you, and that you're in a better, happier place now!

Threading is the best! I switched last year from waxing, and I’ll never go back. Way better for the skin, and it doesn’t hurt as much, at least for me (except the lip area, that hurt like a mofo).

My niece did this when she was six (minus the shaving) - it was hilarious, but took forever to get off.

A lot of salons will let you book a consultation, and it’s great if you’re planning to make a major change to your cut/color. The best cut I ever had, I went from having hair halfway down my back to a pixie, and the stylist required that we do a consult first. I have super thick, curly hair, and she took a ton of time…

Well, I've been known to sample waffles too, so maybe Cereal Cheater??

Hmm, I guess I'm committed to cereal, but cheat regularly with pancakes? Maybe I haven't thought this through well enough …

I have noticed this too, especially with evangelical/nondenominational type pastors. I’m not religious at all, but have recently done some work tangentially with an evangelical organization and at first was really put off by it. When I interacted with one of the pastors at first he just seemed, I don’t know, smarmy?…
