When I was at uni, we had an exchange student in our department from the Soviet Union. As a going away gift, when she went home, about 10 of us got prescriptions for the pill and filled them for the year (about $240 back then, if you didn’t have a plan) and all the guys bought her tampons and pads. She was fucking…

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…

I look at my SO, and I want a baby so much. I read your story, and I don’t want a baby at all.

Oh. My. God!!! That is nightmarish!!

And you know, I hadn’t thought about that in literally 30 years until Mr. Trump started bringing back memories of all of the shitty things men have done over the years.

Like brain material?!?!?! (Internal screaming. Screaming so loud on the inside)

“I’m so very sorry, but when we were stitching you up Dr. WTF sewed his finger to your labia. It didn’t worsen the tear, but fluids mixed and we do need to do an HIV test. After we re-sew.”

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…

I kind of love your SO in this story.

I very recently was in the shower and felt what seemed like, well, poop in between my cheeks. I reached back figuring I’d clean it out and pulled a worm out of my ass. Like a six inch long white worm. I screamed and threw it on the floor and it was wriggling around. My SO came running in looked at it and said “this…

Probably my oral surgeon explaining where and how they would get the material to back-fill my jaw once they took out my fucked-up tooth and all the material around it.

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

I think now more than ever that women about to turn 30 and single or their careers aren’t going anywhere are much more vocal about the struggle of being lonely and watching all your friends go through those big life moments and feeling depressed as to why you’re not progressing. The studios have caught on to that…

Do you guys remember that TV show where different families had to live in New England as if it were the 17th C and NO ONE cut down anywhere close to enough wood for the winter?

Right. You can (and in some cases have to) use accrued paid leave to cover some portion of it, but the “guarantee” is of unpaid leave.

Both book and movie were amazing, gut-wrenching works. I love them both.

I grew up in rural Minnesota. Every single 14 year old dude I knew had a gun. Plenty of them were busy with harmless activities while also owning guns. hell, most of them considered the fact that they were teenagers who owned guns as evidence that they were good moral Christian Americans. The primary difference here…

LOL- I wonder who would hear that and be like, Well! That does it for me! Where do we sign?

Girl I used to date had Public Enemies filmed in her apt by the Belmont Red/Purple/Brown line stop

Chicago is amazing as long as you don’t try to buy a house but can only afford something big enough for your two kids in the Jefferson Park neighborhood which is the whitest collection of white people on the planet and there are no good places to eat NOT THAT I’M BITTER OR ANYTHING.
