Right? Just the idea of asking for it makes me feel a bit panicky. Awhile back I realized my brother and dad had a phone plan together and my dad was footing the bill, they both assumed I was doing the same with my mom (who cannot afford to pay my phone bill, and I would never ask her to) my dad put me on his plan and…

Hey I just want to let you know that there is no shame on shopping around for a therapist that fits you. I work in mental health and finding a good therapist you can have a meaningful relationship with can be hard, but it’s worth it. I can speak for myself and many others when I say we genuinely care about clients. I…

Yep. The past month I’ve been the absolute demon of my brothers life and he is well and good convinced I am maliciously acting against him. It’s upsetting, but reminding yourself of the power of mental illness softens the blow. I hope she gets help and get children and family can understand.

He just needs the sex. What is wrong with all you ladies? Why did you do this?

PP was my primary health care provider for a few years when I had no insurance. Once I arrived for an appointment and they warned me they had received bomb threats so I could reschedule if I wanted, but all the staff were there doing their jobs just the same. You rock. It’s just insane to think someone out there…

pro-life=killing women. I’ve said it plenty and some people think it’s an extreme view (because no one ever died of a illegal abortion?) But this is s clear as it gets. What a sickening situation, so worried for those doctors and nurses.

I wish this surprised me. I feel heartbroken and sick and angry, but I just wish I could feel shocked, too. I should feel shocked and I’m not, at all. Ugh.

Thank you. I think he will be okay. He’s an enthusiastic dude. Its pretty amazing he made it, his vet want so sure he would but he’s such a great dog and still so young I couldn’t let him go easy :)

Thank you! I’m actually being gifted a grant from friends and vets helping pets that covered the amputation of his leg. Someday when I’m rich they are getting so many donations, amazing organization.

My pup got hit by a car on Monday. He had his leg amputated two days ago. I am so glad he’s alive I cry a little everytime I look at him. So, naturally, this story had me in tears.

My dog got hit by a car on Monday and so far his vet bills are sitting around $6000 I have a go fund me set up for him but I’m not asking here because it’s mostly for family and friends who know the dog. I’m expecting it may bring in about enough money to cover 1/10 of the costs. Don’t get a dog if you can’t afford…

Portland, OR bus system is always an interesting place to be. Just last week I got on a bus, there was an older, mumbling, grunting man in one of the front seats. Nothing strange about that, I take my seat a few rows back. After a few spots mumbling cloaked man exits the bus and a member passes through those sitting…

So confused about the community tripe but then asking the patents to please, oh god, do not meet up together and discuss the school. I’ve taught preschool and parents can be a blessing or a curse, put your job in jeopardy and also save it. Hipster preschools are the worst, though, and I’m inclined to think that some…

similar experience in my methodist church growing up I asked that if we were made in God’s image could i sing the bible songs with she insted of he, in referring to god? The answer was no and when I tried to do it anyway they shut off my microphone. 7 year old me was OUT.

I guess it is just slightly more palatable to me than making that choice for a child as an helpless infant. I was raised methodist and my mom did make baptism a choice, it was never pushed by her (the same can’t be said for the youth group leaders) and so I never was, I also refused communion fairly often-by age 8 I…

Hahaha thank you for the chuckle. I definitely feel that way now!

Yaah... funny thing is she touts herself as a feminist and I’ve even run into her at a benefit for planned parenthood- i definitely had my ._. Face on. She probably reads Jez...

Yeah my ex was cheating with a girl when he dumped me. After the breakup She sent me a mocking message on mothers day referencing an abortion I'd had that I assumed my ex had told her about. They weren’t even dating, and didn’t end up together, but fuuuck if I had her address she’d get some horseshit.
