I’ve really crossed over in the last few years between thinking that these attacks were about abortion to realizing that it’s really just an expression of their hatred of women and the poor. Closing low income clinics and restricting access to cheap birth control is a way to get them both at once. Then when you…

It killed any momentum that Pushing Daisies had, and for that I will always be sad.

Oh my god no. I still remember that winter/spring with horror. Even now, when I rewatch a show that aired that season I see how few episodes it has and am thrust back in time when literally the only news story I gave a shit about was whether or not that strike was over. Just give the writers what they want, please.

The common ground is: A woman has the right to decide if her body will be pregnant or not.

tbh every time I see Dick’s face I automatically start whistling “if I only had a heart”

Don’t forget about your own self-care! You are important and awesome as well!! Fingers crossed for your family for sure.

I get that, totally. I wouldn’t considering changing myself. But if he’s super depressed anyway, maybe it’s worth a look... The only argument I can think of against that is that David Foster Wallace changed his medication before he committed suicide. As far as I know, he wasn’t bipolar just had crippling depression.…

Hugs! You sound like my kind of people. My husband is bipolar and after 2 winters of severe depression and a short, election-based mania/hospitalization, the hubs is finally accepting professional help and Latuda!

Crossing my fingers for you and your Mr. The soon-to-be Mr. Rex is bipolar as well, and I’ve considered moving up the wedding if the ACA is gutted, although it probably won’t be fully set in motion by our chosen date (hopefully!) Right now, I have pretty good insurance because I’m a state employee, but our lovely…

Oh, I’m so sorry. :( The depressive states can be even worse than the manic ones because you’re utterly wiped and can barely function. Mania makes you do stupid shit sometimes, but it’s easier to see and monitor, IMO. I’m sorry that you as a caretaker have to worry as well.

...they’ll need moderate Republicans to sign off on this bill, too.

Jeff Sessions on police reform: “It is not the responsibility of the federal government to manage non-federal law enforcement agencies.”

Unless it’s related to ICE or Marijuana.

One attack ad painted Ossoff as too inexperienced

After this last election, I find myself being uncomfortable with about a third of the people in the United States. There’s probably a correlation with the third mentioned here and the third I’m referring to.

No, a book cannot cause someone to become gay. It might, however, help someone to internally acknowledge that they are gay, and thus have more self-acceptance, more self-esteem, and a greater sense of security.

That quote gave me such rage. No, dear sir, “god” is not sovereign with every activity in my life because I do not believe in god. In fact, he has been sovereign in exactly zero of my life experiences. Because god doesn’t exist, and if he did, then he’s a vengeful, hateful motherfucker and I want nothing to do with…

I love how the GOP keeps saying the ACA is in a death spiral. It’s not (according to the CBO), but Republicans did everything they could to kill it:

My personal reactions to this:

Columbus Commons replaced the old City Center Mall in downtown Columbus, OH.
