Being a human is an absolute joy sometimes.

I’m never getting married, but if I did I think our first dance would be to 3 minutes of white noise with ghost-like voices chirping every once in a while.

This woman has a vagina of steel, managing to keep her cool and record the cop who shot her boyfriend dead for no reason while at the same time trying to keep her daughter calm, at the same time staying calm enough to call the officer sir. She is brave as fuck and fwiw has my personal respect and admiration.

As a mom i identified with the mother as soon as i saw the video. I know that calm. I was pulled over by a police officer who did not want to let me go. He kept coming back to my car asking more questions. I did not have nor was i on any drugs or alcohol. License, reg, insurance in check. I even had a gold card from…

Honey, I am so, so sorry. You are right: NEVER see her again. If you have the strength or wherewithal, please report her to the American Psychiatry Association, or whatever hospital/doctor’s group she is affiliated with or even the state medical board. What she did is malpractice and abusive. She encouraged a PTSD…

I was once told that an IUD (I wanted one) was like having an abortion every month by a “super helpful” female doctor in a major US metro at a non-Catholic hospital. I was so shocked by the experience that I sort of sleepwalked out of the place. Then the rage set in and I was screaming at poor Mr. Smuttins on the…

Yesterday, I went to see a psychiatrist about my prenatal depression. Instead, I got a heavy dose of victim blaming for my sexual assault. It was a female shrink. I had nightmares last night and I’m NEVER GOING BACK to her. But this is rampant rape culture. The fact that someone who is a woman treating WOMEN thinks…

If this is the same story that ran in my local paper, then she needs some serious help. Instead of telling her sons not to rape, she says that women should just accept that rape happens and move on, no need to ruin her sons life over something you are only regretting later. I left a comment on that story that she…

“And women, take charge of your bodies and your sexuality by being sober enough to stop unwanted advances and sober enough to actually enjoy sex when you choose to have it.”

If you got so drunk that a mugger noticed and decided to take advantage of that, a lawyer wouldn’t attempt to use your drunkenness to get the mugger off charges.

It’s like saying that all guys have a rape switch so we have to take care not to activate it. WTF?

Obviously getting helplessly drunk is unsafe for anyone, though often understandable - many people, especially young newer drinkers, do not know their own tolerances. But yes, it’s dangerous, including in and of itself.

Accept your role in what happened, learn from the experience and move on.

Also, sorry you’re so long-winded that twitter oppresses you. There are easy fixes for that, boys.

Lard spare me white men who think social media is “silencing” them. Nope, it’s just allowing other, more interesting voices to finally be heard.

Disclaimer: I am a Canadian and my husband spends a fair amount of time down south for work.

Last night, my husband suggested that we make Gardasil our go to gift for baby showers. I'm not sure it's a logistically sound plan, but it reminds me why I love him so!

The fucking sheer number of people (who should KNOW BETTER) who say anyone should “just leave” because of their treatment (benefits, healthcare, breaks, paid leave or sickdays, or lack thereof) at any job smacks of clueless privilege. I like BOTH my jobs but neither is ideal or what I became accustomed to before…

The whole “better safe than sorry” vein of “helpful” pregnancy advice is the bane of my 14-weeks-pregnant existence. I swear these people won’t be happy until I’m just going through life living off of kale and surrounded by bubble wrap. Fuck em, I say, and then I eat prosciutto and blackberries for breakfast.

I know this feel. I was due within a week of you this time last year, which if I’m reading your name correctly you also remember as the WORST WINTER EVER. I spent those last few weeks lurching around through 10 feet of snow wearing my enormous winter boots, which I could no longer get on or off by myself, and the only…
