I spent Thanksgiving in Winter Haven, Florida, which is somewhere in the middle between Orlando, Tampa and Redneck Christian Paradise. I'd spent so long planning Hanukkah dinner for my husband's non-Jewish family that I completely blanked and forgot to bring a menorah with me. No problem, I'll just pop over to Walmart…

Ok, this is awful, but forcing the birth of an 8-month fetus and then killing it AFTER birth is NOT an abortion. Let's not conflate the language here - only gives the so-called pro-lifers more "BABY MURDERER!" fuel...

Erghh*#^&)@(& This is still fucking with my marriage. We're seeing a psychologist right now for a very specific issue, but it eventually came out that a big part of my hangup with The Issue is that I lost my dad pretty tragically earlier this year and I'm not really getting the support/space/healing/etc. that I need.…

Fox News is just secretly run by The Onion, right? This is like a decades-long gag run by someone who really loves Jon Stewart and wants him to have plenty of fodder for his shows or something. One day - soon I hope! - it's going to come out that PSYCH! Fox News is just a parody of real news and DUH IDIOTS go watch…

Seriously? I can't even draw a straight line with a pencil or liquid liner. My makeup routine consists of moisturizer and chapstick. Someone teach me how to girl :(

Aw... I'm almost in my 30s - want to be friends?

Where can I buy this please? Sans the ugly red jumpsuit thing, though.

Where else does one get one of these things? I've never seen one in TJ Maxx...

I practiced before the big day. I'm super shy/modest/creeped out by bodily functions/etc. and didn't want to have to deal with making someone hold the dress for me, so I practiced sweeping it all up and locating the toilet and not dunking any of it in pee water beforehand. My bridesmaids all offered at least once, but…

Modcloth has one too: http://www.modcloth.com/shop/pullovers…

I'm having this weird, visceral stomach-clenchy uncomfortable reaction to this.

Because logic isn't part of their lexicon. Also, they don't want women making decisions - we're incubators, not "thinkers" or "people."

He drove by Union Station a couple weeks ago - the guy walking next to me flipped him off. If I hadn't been so close to my office, I would have too.

"Yes, we are radical — radical in our love, in our protecting,"

Oh I don't believe anyone really believes the "helping women" bullshit - not even the monsters spouting it. They've found a loophole to start chipping away at women's rights - something that garners them tons of money and support from the Christian right, because women belong in barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen -…

I'm a former lady of Texas, and I donated! Not a whole lot, but I've given to Fund Abortion Now (also part of the Lilith Fund) this year as well. Texas will always have a place in my heart - and I may even find a way to move back one day if they go blue.

You'll have to find a bunch of child laborers to sew the Jewish Star patches for you...

I knew a girl when I lived down in Texas who seemed like one of the sweetest people I'd ever met. When my dad died unexpectedly, she contacted me immediately to see what she could do on that end to help my family down there. Then when Perry forced the abortion restrictions through, she was posting things like "woohoo…

Shh, you'll ruin next week's fundraiser: Shame a Slut. Students chase a faux-pregnant woman around campus and corner her and berate/lie to her for several hours. Whoever convinces her to keep the sin-baby gets a bro-hug and a Rick Perry t-shirt!

Eek, that's actually pretty dangerous.
