For once a truly clickbaity title was truly not clickbait!

For what it’s worth, I read every story on abortion on Jezebel, simply because it’s long been an issue I’m passionate about and have done activism and policy support around. And I absolutely agree, reproductive rights are human rights. Abortion access and reproductive rights in general are inextricably linked with

There’s a bill coming up for a vote in the state Senate today that would change this, AB 2147. It has already passed the Assembly and if it passes the Senate Gavin Newsom will almost certainly sign it.

I have a major correction to the pay scale. It’s $2.90-$5.12 per day, not per hour. With an extra $1 per hour. Big difference.

Yeah. The California Attorney General’s Office has over 1,100 attorneys working on many thousands of cases every year. The Attorney General will not know personally what each attorney in their office submits as an argument or a brief in court. It’s the responsibility of the AG to set general policy and handle larger

Carl Nichols is a very recent Trump appointee. There’s no way he would have ever sided with the plaintiffs.

Let’s hope Biden crushes Trump in the election and this rule can be reversed ASAP. (Please vote!)

Every new invention is used for sex in some way. When porn companies decided to distribute on the cheaper VHS instead of the more expensive (but higher quality) Betamax, that’s basically what killed Betamax. 

...............who is it??

I’ve been enjoying Chloe Ting’s workouts the last couple weeks. She does rely a ton on planks and core exercises, which is great except when it’s not. I am currently fantastically out of shape(!) but have a fitness/athletics background, so I do a lot of modification (did you know you can do a modified plank by putting

I’m totally gutted about Grant Imahara’s passing. He was one of the best things about Mythbusters. Really feeling for his family and friends right now. 

There are an alarming number of nurses buying into crazy conspiracy theories about COVID-19, or who are dismissing it as no big deal. This shit has very real consequences.

Do you have very large breasts? Have you ever measured very large breasts for a bra?

If I were to lean forward and measure that way I would have a wildly inaccurate measurement, and if I measure without a bra on, it’s also wildly inaccurate.

When I have gone to fit professionals at fit specialist boutiques, they have

If you have large breasts that hang down and don’t measure WITH a bra on, you will never get a correct measurement. The point is to lift them up, and you slide the tape under and against the bra line. If they are hanging down it will distort the measurements.

You might be able to measure without a bra if you have small

When Dan Patrick was a state senator he introduced bills handwritten by organizations in the Tanton network. His embrace of eugenics-based thinking (in this case, sacrificing whoever he perceives as weak to strengthen the economy) is unsurprising. Particularly since the disease is disproportionately affecting

Yes, this exactly. Even if mortality rate was “only” 3% that’s still millions of Americans dead.

And that’s just talking about deaths. COVID-19 is wreaking havoc on many survivors, some need organ transplants, many need long term care, have what may be permanent disabilities, long term health issues.

AND ALSO a large

YES. All of this! And my current favorite bras are the Glamorise front close bras. I’ve tried $150 bras and they aren’t as comfortable or supportive as these $30 ones. There are two styles, the racerback style and the standard strap style each fit a little differently, the latter has nice thick padded straps. They go

Honest question... is there a name for these kinds of siblings? Do they count as fraternal twins?

Also... does she have four ovaries? And are the two sets genetically identical or different?

The Lt. Governor of TX has argued multiple times that we need to just let the virus spread and get used to people dying to lessen the effect on the economy (read: so the state doesn’t have to pay unemployment, and so wealthy business owners and investors and churches can continue to make money). The state has also

They weren’t concerned about a plot when they made the second one, so I don’t think it’ll hamper them with the third.

That article is really telling. What I read in that article is that chefs who aren’t white can’t succeed with a restaurant based on classic American or “white” cuisine because they’re ultimately not considered American.

Ironically, much of the food considered “American” was invented by enslaved people stolen from
