Austin’s KUT notes that in 2011, Texas cut funding to numerous prenatal programs, particularly those aimed at providing care for low-income women. Those funding cuts, however, might explain the rise of unplanned pregnancies in the state, but do not account for the sharp rise in maternal mortality rates.

Wife and I have a pretty tight group of about 24 friends we play tennis with. So we play tennis Friday night then go out for drinks. We play tennis Saturday morning then go out Saturday night together. Play tennis Sunday, go out Sunday night together. (Not every week but almost.) What are we supposed to discuss…

I’ve taken this advice my whole life. Eventually, one of two things happen:

A group of my friends were inconsolably butt-hurt when I refused to buy in to a cruise vacation with them TWO FUCKING YEARS in advance. I told them I wanted to wait because, you know, a lot of shit can happen in two years. They ended up on a boat with a listeria outbreak.

Spoken like someone who was never a young girl. Misogyny is so edgy, bro.

This is what happened to Rosemary Kennedy. Her mother was in labor and the doctor wasn’t there, so the nurse held the baby inside of her for TWO HOURS until he got there, and Rosemary suffered brain damage. Then, of course, when she was a teenager, her piece of shit, hope-he’s-rotting-in-hell, fuckface dipshit father…

It’s not that you never want to die, just not right now.

Does anyone else on Jezebel have this? Pudendal neuralgia/ vulvodynia/etc? I’ve had it for years and it’s awful. I have ice on my crotch as we speak. Funnily enough, I've had two doctors recommend I get pregnant to see if it makes it better. HAH.

DUDE. ONLY $16 MILLION. SHE NEEDS ONE BAJILLION DOLLARS IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS THE WORST THING I’VE EVER HEARD.

I think the words people do and don’t feel comfortable using for sex are super interesting, like I don’t mind calling it fucking but “making love” gives me the heebies even though I don’t engage in casual sex. A friend of mine has a theory that you should only have sex with people who use the same terms as you because…

Awe. I actually do boop my husband on the nose like he's a little bunny. He suffers so much being married to me.

But we just finished smoking something.

“Another female employee of Gawker Media has a more cynical take, suggesting that “they say it to remind you that they’re there so you can compliment them or soothe them like the big fucking babies they are.”

They’re trying to figure out if you’re still awake.

Because “You still here?” is totally frowned upon?

Seems a little weird/creepy to me.

Want fries with that? = drugs

Thank you for providing the in-depth journalism we need in these troubled times.

Can you even imagine these two massive mofos throwing down? It would be like the Pacific Rim Jaegers fighting the kaiju.
