I did science fair projects for 13 years and never did a single one in a lab — can't kid fuck around with chemistry on their own time these days?

I'm confused that people never did "science experiments" outside of class before? This is a time honored tradition, isn't it? Blowing shit up? Also she was outside and nowhere near other people, though she was on school grounds, so there wasn't any particularly malicious intent happening. Kids at my high school blew…

Why can't rich people go to decent tattoo artists, goddamn.

Naw, they're microdermals, so they might leave a scar but wouldn't leave a hole.

I'd hope that out of the entire internet that Jez editors would be able to find a black, feminist/womanist-minded reviewer to write something for them.

He voted no as a manner of procedure once they realized they couldn't break a filibuster — it lets him reintroduce the bill on the Senate floor later if they can scrounge up the votes.

Online guns sales on sites like Craigslist are a HUGE percentage of gun sales. Requiring sites like that to facilitate background checks while also funding/bolstering the current background check system wouldn't fix gun violence, no, but it certainly will prevent some deaths, yeah.

I thought that statistically illegal guns don't actual travel that often across state lines. Adding background checks to online sales helps with that.

tbh, I love juice because it's so easy — I don't have a lot of energy to cook ANYTHING let alone vegetables, and I live alone so when I don't use everything instantly it goes bad in like two days. Juice is great — my daily requirement of vegetables w/o risking flaring up my pain condition or exhausting me.

Girl's got some serious upper body definition happening, and shockingly, even folks with rock hard abs will have skin that folds when they twist and sit.

you are not alone — she's a babe in the armor, too.

Whatever, I love my ball and it helps keep my legs from stiffening up at the end of the day. Bonus: no arm rests so my arms can't hang out in dumb positions and get strained.

IUDs have a terrible reputation in America despite being like really popular elsewhere —- a lot of the fear comes from the horrible complications from one particular IUD device, the Dalkon Shield, which is obviously no longer on the market.

Being a virgin doesn't mean you can't get an IUD — your hymen could probably be torn during the procedure but it won't work any differently just because you haven't had penetrative sex. So a non-hormonal IUD is still an option (though it may not help with period regulation as much as a hormonal one).

Yes, but if the hymen is still intact I presume it may be perforated during insertion.

Copper IUDs (non-hormonal) can cause heavier periods in general. Hormonal IUDs CAN stop periods but often after about 6 months of potentially heavy or erratic periods, worst case scenario. Like most birth control options, it takes awhile for the body to adjust.

This is exactly my problem — I don't really /mind/ longer shorts but I do wonder if I need a fanny pack to go with them.

It's obviously because only dudes are turned on by visual stimuli, right? /evolution/ and stuff.

I like how you use the word ideal here, as though that's not an arbitrary and socialized aesthetic? A lot of your comments seem to imply you think there's some obvious and agreed upon 'ideal' body-type aesthetic instead of questioning why that is.

Def thought you were talking about the shadow on that dude's stomach.
