In honour of PP, here’s the beautiful non-protestors outside our local hospital. Rock on, ladies.

They are allowing embarrassment guide their response to this, and that is another reason women often do not come forward- because we know we will be punished.

Oof. As someone who was unfortunately born into a family of Republicans who are “reluctant” Trump supporters- yep, immediate and extended family- I feel this so hard. I’ve had yelling matches with both parents about their shitty candidate.

It’s always hard when you’re faced with the reality that parents can be imperfect people with the same hangups and biases that you once thought you were shielded from, now being directed at you. I think you have every right to be upset, and what you did was extremely brave and important. However they feel about their…

Yup, my body has decided alcohol it’s not a friend. I haven’t really found anything worth drinking - something that won’t trigger headaches, insomnia, dehydration etc - so I don’t know how to help. Just commiserating here.

100% how they’re responding isn’t okay. You’re being vulnerable and brave, and if anyone should be there for you regarding sexual assault, it should be your parents. As a parent, I wonder if they are dealing with the fact that this happened to their kid and they couldn’t protect you when it happened. Not that it makes…

I would 1) not drink for a while and 2) ask a doctor.

Call your grandmother and tell her she needs to teach her son some respect.

You can remove a star by tapping on it once, it will go from blue back to white and the number will go down by one.

Champagne is the least troublesome alcohol I know but why not just skip alcohol altogether until you find out why you’re so easily dehydrated? You don’t want to exacerbate a problem that might go away on its own or could be serious.

3 IUDs, countless pills, patches, rings, literally dozens of yeast infection & bv meds, more or less quarterly sti screenings for like 15 years, and one remarkably easy abortion.

Ideas needed. So my body has recently betrayed me and decided that it’s done with most alcoholic beverages and is bound and determined to drag me along with its decision. If I drink wine, beer, colored alcohol, sweetened cocktails, etc., I get an insta-hangover, i.e. pounding headache and feelings of dehydration. The…

Today is lazy movie day and I watched Sausage Party and it was pretty good. I don’t really like raunchy humour but somehow, this worked for me.

1) it’s listed as a charter school, so presumably public-ish

I have encountered SO MANY liberal whites who are racist af, liberal men who are misogynistic as fuck, etc. etc. Often they use their general perception of themself as liberal and/or their intersections (I’m gay therefore I can’t be misogynistic!, I’m a feminist therefore I can’t be racist!, etc) to try to bulldoze…

I have. I don’t think it’s the case here but I’ve met a lot of white people that claim to be liberal but turn out to hold some pretty ignorant views once you get them talking.

My SO also comes from a Southern Jewish family, it’s fascinating talking to them about that experience. They are incredibly proud of that heritage, but also felt compelled to downplay their “otherness” and assimilate.

i don’t know any liberal, accepting white person who, once you get them talking, turns into a racist. Ugh.

Really? I highly doubt that.

I grew up in Atlanta and I didn’t know my mom’s family was jewish until fourth grade. She was afraid to tell me because I was a very talkative kid and she’d had multiple neighbors/parents at the school say antisemitic shit to her. That wasn’t a liberal area at all (though there were a lot of Dixiecrat-style…
