"Is this your first Asshole Meeting?" I'm dying, I love it.

I will never understand why Jessica Simpson became the body issues punching bag for every tabloid in the world. She's a knockout and has pretty much always looked like a knockout, I can detect no real difference between her and all the other female celebrities that apparently aren't deserving of this degree of insane…

JESSICA JUST BE EXACTLY PERFECT AT ALL FUCKING TIMES JESUS DO YOU NEED US TO DRAW A FUCKING MAP THIS ISNT ROCKET SCIENCE

Receiving emergency treatment within 3 hours of symptoms can be a critical factor in surviving a stroke. Please get yourself or a loved one to the hospital immediately if you notice something amiss.

The week before I went to summer camp for the first and only time, I got really sick. Looking back, I think I may have had giardia (since I spent a lot of time playing in shallow streams in the country I was probably high risk). I vomited several times, then had horrible, watery diarrhea for several days. My…

My first period was pretty uneventful (I was at school but got out without anyone noticing), but I remember feeling like I was now at the beginning of a different life phase, and not exactly in a "you're a woman now!" way. More like "well...guess this is gonna be the next 40 years."

My dad got me a Macy's giftcard and a bunch of pagan books with menstruation rituals in them.

This is not exactly what Erin called for, but is my all-time favorite period story.

Most of the world is free to vacation in Cuba, the US is the only country being stubbornly stupid about the matter. Unless you similarly sneer at people who engage in other forms of illegal behavior (recreational pot use outside of CO or WA, underage drinking), STFU.

Do you have any idea how many 3rd party nations we used to host our nuclear weapons during the Cold War? Do you realize that they agreed to host Russian nuclear weapons only after our country tried to invade and depose their existing political structure? Can you name one serious act of aggression on the part of the…

"I would like all of the feminine hygiene products in your store. Wait, I'm afraid you may have heard, 'I want a lot of feminine hygiene products.' I would like ALL the feminine hygiene products in your store. Please bag them up so I neither have to touch them nor look at them. Here is my credit card. I will be…

Jesus hates communists. It's clear from all of his really capitalistic teachings.

I got my first period at camp. Girl Scout Space Camp. I was 11. Early enough for it to be mortifying and for no one to have thought to have had the "body changes" talk with me. I had been looking forward to Space Camp for some time because I am a giant nerd, but amid our tours of Houston's rockets and various NASA…

I already posted this re: new age of menstruation ads - but - here it is again:

I was 12 years old and it was the day of 6th grade graduation. There was an assembly that day so my mom had picked out a new, pale yellow, culotte, jumpsuit and a denim vest. About mid way through getting ready, I went to the restroom and noticed I was bleeding and realized I was starting my period. My mom had…

Someone sounds salty.

What is inherently wrong with vacationing in Cuba?

I was about 12 years old, went to the bathroom, and saw the stain in my panties. I'd read Judy Blume and knew exactly what had happened, but after searching in the bathroom, I could only find tampons. Not wanting to even go NEAR those things at that point in my life, I went out to the living room, where my mom was…
