Whatcha looking for? Also, have you checked ravelry for recommendations?

O-kaaay... Um, why?

After the RAGE passes, is anyone else rolling their eyes over:

Is anyone else wondering when these lunatics are going to try and repeal the 19th Amendment?

Could be. I'd have to ask her :). I had an interesting conversation with a doctor who worked with MSF in Malawi and she was telling me how she'd gotten flack for performing abortions (esp. late term ones) while she was there. Her point was that what she was doing WAS pro-life, because many of these women were…

SNAP

I do, actually. Particularly in Portland, which is an INSANELY expensive city to live in considering the average pay. You need two incomes to get by, esp. since most jobs don't offer full health care anymore. A friend works at a job she sometimes really really hates because it comes with full benefits (even…

I have to testify that as a working mom, I've never heard a working woman put down stay at home moms. Never.

Seriously. There was this awesome Medieval poem/ short story we read in history that I wish I could find (it's in a book in a box somewhere) that described this perfectly.

Or been around toddlers AT ANY TIME EVER. Like, really, dude?

34x, actually. The stats my mum the RN quotes are that for every 100k pregnant women, 1 woman will die of complications from a legal abortion and 34 will die from complications from the pregnancy. In the U.S. Other (western) countries have much better stats :( Of course, in third world countries where abortion is…

What is up with L.A. lately? First, they crack down on porn (required condoms, really?), and now this. WTH?

Is anyone else wondering if they used laughing gas on the narrator? That was the most forced, fake laughter I've heard in a looong time.

Ooooh, I love it!

I agree that he's a libertarian bro, but definitely don't believe he's a misogynist. He often makes a point of focusing on women's rights (my fave below)...

I want to be able to move, to buy clothes off the rack, and to buy bras that don't need a bridge's worth of steel to be effective.

YES. As an F, I feel your pain - literally, as I have also done that. And because I developed early, sports quickly became painful, rather han fun. Which sucks - I loved team sports!

All this is ludicrous to me. The human foot is an amazing feat* of evolutionary engineering and beautiful in it's efficiency and unique construction. Having studied anthropology and early human history, we should be celebrating our awesome feet, not shaming each other over them!

I often wonder if this trend isn't also a sign of higher education and emotional maturity. As much as I might want children, I know I can't afford them and it'd be terribly irresponsible to bring more children into this world who won't have adequate resources. My friends all feel the same. In generations past, you…

Agree(1000). It immediately made me think of the ancient Greek nude portraits of Olympic athletes. They were placed in gyms, etc., as both inspiration and appreciation of the local talent :)
