I’m crying with joy at this.

I’m overwhelmed by your intelligent, nuanced understanding of this issue.

That’s not how it works.

“Lady Nerd, why are your arms so huge?”

yes! I can roll with people’s beliefs not fitting along neat party lines but my mom really likes the pope (?) but is also convinced that he’s literally the devil and thus doesn’t trust him.

what IS it with parents getting way more closed off as they get older? My mom was never a guiding light of acceptance, but she wasn’t as batshit crazy as she is now, with some shit about how the current pope is literally the devil.

Wait, as far as I know, nobody is saying that access and provider bias are not issues. Of course they are! I would also MUCH rather tackle those first, but I don’t set Ricki Lake’s agenda.

oh definitely! I edited above because the takeaway was not meant to be “I didn’t so it was fine” but that’s clearly how I wrote it >_> sorry!

I didn’t when I was 12 and used that word all the time way back in 2003 or something.

“doesn’t want to seem uptight and bitchy” ah, she must have a classic case of #yourenotlikealltheothergirls

:) I think so too.

what kills me is that he was hanging out with a cute lady and I was like cute lady why? why did you agree to be seen in public with a guy wearing a NO MEANS YES shirt?

I’m in complete agreement that TBoBB is pretty likely to be doing more harm than good, and that Ricki Lake is not an expert. I pretty much said that verbatim somewhere else.

Don’t flatter yourself <3

Yeah man, that part where I called two of her arguments “irresponsible” and one “irresponsible and fucked up” and stated that one of her so-called experts was “full of shit”

I mean, I don’t disagree.

Ok? Go for it, discount away.

bless you. after they evacuated yesterday afternoon my heart wept for all of the businesses on Michigan Ave. Lots of drunk kids just sitting in the aisles of walgreens stealing shit, throwing things, and not really buying anything.

ok wait though. I am a person who is planning on becoming an OB-GYN and I’ve been working in hospitals for the past four years, doing health disparities work. I am pro-medicine, and pro-doctors. I am WITH you in that Ricki Lake is not an expert who in many ways is doing more harm than good.

However, I agree with Lake…
