I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fact that there is an intersection of Amy Schumer fans and Trump voters.

My great grandmother died the same way. This would have been around 1913. My grandmother was three and grew up without a mother. It didn’t occur to me until now how that must have affected her...and her relationship to my mother...and my mother’s relationship to me (which was not great). Women’s reproductive rights…

In my parent’s house, there are framed photos of two very sad women. One is my great grandmother, who stopped speaking for 2 years when her daughter died after falling down a well. The other is my great great aunt, who died of a botched abortion when she was 17. It’s never been a family secret or a morality tale, just…

The fact that Trump is tweeting about Baldwin is reason enough for SNL to keep poking him.

“xenophobic” is kind of an ironic word to use in this case

Suppression of the free press...

My ex-mother in law has a very heavy Japanese accent, after they destroyed her brand new luggage, when she went to talk to someone there about it the rep mocked her accent. Does Delta hire for racism? Also, they didn’t help her at.all, surprise! Yeah, I never fly Delta anymore.

My experience with Delta, as a brown lady. Three years ago, flying from a meeting in Detroit to SF, standing in the premier line. Gate agent repeatedly tries to shoo me out of the line a good 10 minutes before boarding was going to start. Mind you he approached none of the other (white, male) passengers in the…

I get the thing about needing to ask for credentials...I do...but Delta didn’t address the whollllllllllllle awful dialogue that preceded the attendant asking for credentials:

Let’s split the difference and agree that the flight attendant is an idiot without insulting people based on their professions.

Two years ago I was living in a hotel room after a total-loss house fire, which is needless to say an enormously stressful situation. My vagina has always been very sensitive to stress. She’s a special snowflake, for sure. Additionally, my whole vagina self-care routine was disrupted by our loss. I was basically…

I had an ovarian teratoma. It’s a usually benign tumor that can grow to a large size. Mine was about six inches when it was finally removed. This kind of thing, also called a dermoid cyst, is there from birth according to my surgeon. I happened to see the photos from the surgery. Mine had very long hair, teeth, some…

“12 pound ovarian cyst.”

Barack’s pictures with children and his genuine delight interacting with them is one of the 1,000 things I will miss about him.

I’m a med student and just the other day I was reading about ear problems. #1 thing to get stuck in your ear- a qtip. #2- insects. Most common insect? Cockroach. So gross. So then I started thinking about spiders in ears, as I have a pretty bad spider phobia (my only real fear). 

And now, your Friday feels:

I remember being 7 and going to the doctor for a slightly upset tummy. Dude tells me, loudly, in front of my mom: “Your tummy’s full of shit, literally”.
I remember wanting to cry, instantly, and just muttering “liar”

Listening to that Access Hollywood video about Donald Trump has made me clench so tight I am confident my uterus isn’t going anywhere.

My whole family are doctors and definitely the grossest things they talk about are finding bugs in people’s ears. Or the time my dad had my mom flush his ear out and some huge, unidentifiable, black thing came out.
