OMG...I’m in Northern lower Michigan and when I was pregnant with my youngest, WIC sent my myself and my “baby daddy” to the “Pregnancy Resource Center” to get prenatal vitamins. I was so livid at the the religious affiliation as I had NO IDEA. We were happy to be pregnant, really excited actually as a few…

I love how uncomplicated this makes my hot mess of a life look.

Twice. Three times if he mentions chicken recipes.

I found this article truly and throughly thought provoking. I hated being a “victim” because my identity was taken and defined by one awful moment. Once again, he had control to define and shape me...that was my right. Survivor felt better (?) but it still seems like that should be assigned to something triumphant or…

Maybe you were dressed inappropriately? Oh wait! You can’t cover up too much because you could be a guy. Oh, that’s right. Too feminine/too butch, too sexy/too androgynous, too much leg/ass/tit/not enough external markers of gender identity, too much makeup/no makeup, hair too long/too short, shorts too tight/loose,…

I just wanted to thank you. Thank you for helping make women’s right to choose a little safer. I thank you for myself and for my daughters. I am grateful that there are people willing to face hatred and potential violence so that women have access to healthcare and a constitutional right.

I once slept with someone who looked like Shia LeBeouf’s twin. Not the main reason I slept with him but it was awkward as hell as he was my good friend’s son (he was 24 so not as bad but still). It was nine shades of awkward in the morning. I feel like a call from Shia might have made it better? It’s all I’ve got for…

They also don’t tell you that the rape exam is EXPENSIVE. This may well be a mute point as the Affordable Care Act may negate the cost. My rape exam in 2003 was $1,700. I didn’t have insurance and worked a full time retail position with take home of $245 a week and a child to take care of. It sucked being sued and…

I remember being 8 and my babysitter (16) was so excited because we had cable, a bit of a rarity back in the day (cable didn’t have commercials yet so it was long ago). From 4 pm until 8 pm, I participated in my first “boy band” freak out. The premiered “The Reflex” that night. Although I never wanted to marry anyone…

I have never wanted someone to eat cheesecake so much. This includes myself and girl, I would take a bullet for a bite of my mom’s Caramel Apple cheesecake.

*slow golf clap*. You have elevated the art of profane indignity and I, for one, am probably going to repeat this frequently.

Me too. I am so hoping that this wedding happens, like so much. It feels me with perverse joy.

I am so tired of Robbie’s whining and excuses. I feel like she is a flat Xerox of Jinx.

I was so upset when Violet won last season over Ginger. Pretty is great but my god, have a personality. Like Dax! only showed a glimmer of personality after being eliminated.

Honestly, Tatiana’s Britney was funnier and just more entertaining (Season 2?). I was so disappointed with Acid Betty’s Nancy Grace. I had so hoped she’d Bianca that shit to death. I mean Nancy Grace is a caricature of a human, how hard could it be to satirize her? And the lip synch, just tragic for AB. Bob and Thorgy…

I think it is tied deeply to all of it? I mean I am incredibly open about my rape. It’s not like I talk about while getting groceries or my lattes but I am honest and vocal about it when it feels appropriate. I have noticed two things:

Clicking on this made me seriously wonder if I’m more of a masochist than I was aware of. Alternately, I may just be hankering for a rage induced seizure. Either way, marijuana and a bubble bath is occurring immediately as either condition requires immediate self soothing.

I am in tears. I was reading comments on Jez yesterday about Utah’s attempts to require full sedation for post 20 weeks terminations. One of the commenters who I can’t remember shared this link and I went from adamantly pro-choice to fanatically pro-choice.

I love you so much for mentioning this. My mom and I love the show and she says Bettina is her ideal self. My mom (a blonde middle age lady) and I went into Macy’s and they followed me the whole time (being Mexican and summer dark). When I left because well, fuck that but I have hate bought stuff to like prove I can.

Thank you for this link. I posted it to Facebook and five adamantly pro-life family members actually called me, a few in tears, and said it changed how they understood the abortion debate. Thank you.
