I think we should be friends, based on usernames???

It’s staged, but who cares, as long as they really gave her the tip? Maybe it’ll inspire some people to do the same.

This would be WAY more fun if Biden was there.

...is Lincoln Chafee still there or did he go home or what....

EVERYONE NEEDS TO BACK OFF BERNIE!

Vox has some great BINGO scorecards if anyone is playing along at home.

Nope sorry that’s voodoo magic, that’s not real, YOU’RE NOT REAL, women should just be abstinent, babies babies babies babies.

I wish you had (well, except I wouldn’t want you to be arrested for assault)!

I agree. A lot of it seems to stem with how well it can be advertised; it’s either super sexualized (“Save the Ta-Tas!” or “Save Second Base!” etc, which is gross and demeaning) or it’s super funny/awesome (hahaha omg, look at these huge football players wearing pink for exactly one month! How hilarious! The NFL cares…

Thank you for this article! I have spent years getting frustrated with the whole obsession over breast cancer “awareness” (I was also in a sorority whose “cause” was breast cancer, so I feel like I’ve been haunted by Susan G Komen my entire life).

I think this is kind of pointless. Anti-choicers are irrational and insane. I doubt a single person is going to be like, “Ohhh okay, well I am no longer anti-women’s healthcare now!”

Yeah, that was kind of my point. They should have advanced degrees. I know the vast majority of them do, but every now and then you hear about these communities. The fact that someone can call themselves a “midwife” but not have any more medical training than the average person is kind of ridiculous.

I see you’ve attracted some well-known trolls! That’s what you get for pointing out that Trump is indeed ridiculous.

Oh no it is not, especially because I think it references helicopters and jeeps.

GOOD. As a DC native, this whole issue has really shown the gross side of people. I’m glad at least one state is like, Huh, maybe we shouldn’t use racial slurs anymore.

It’s all good— people can use it as a point of reference!

Haha it’s all me! I love Emily most of all so was originally Ellis Bell, but sadly lost that key and didn’t realize until yesterday that you can change your “shown username” without changing your account. So I’m back to being Ellis. Currer is dead (sorry, Char).
