This was a while ago, but I once read a story (I think on NPR) talking about how the maternity mortality of the US was the highest in the industrialized world. There were no clear answers as to why because, as I remember it, there was (and I assume still is since I haven’t heard differently) no standard of how…

This shit just infuriates me. I know too many people voting for Trump for the sole reason of preventing abortions. I realize that we don’t know if laws aimed at preventing women from having a choice are part of the cause. All the same, making basic prenatal and reproductive care harder to access can’t be helping the…

I miss fencing. I was on my college’s Saber fencing team and it was the best thing ever. I wish it was more wide spread so I could find a fencing club near where I live now.

Since when did the US justice system give a crap about rehabilitating criminals? Since when has lack of rehabilitation been a reason to keep a criminal out of jail and on the streets?

Was there some kind of Pro-Rapist law passed somewhere without my knowledge?

I am a 20-something, and he looks twelve to me.

The worst part about this election is that, when it’s over, it won’t be over. No matter who wins, there’s going to be a group of people throwing a fit and crying conspiracy.

Exactly! It’s a safe space for everyone, regardless. Because, even if harassment may be largely men harassing women, anyone can be the perpetrator and anyone can be the recipient of harassment or violence.

This is where I am on this. I’m reminded again of a program my college had called Safe Ride. It was a program only for women. Essentially, a large van driven by a cop hung around campus and would drive women back to their dorm. It was a don’t ask, don’t tell service, which meant even underage drunk women would not be…

I feel like Pokemon Go is causing a lot of breakups. I love the game and so does my boyfriend. At least once every time we go out hunting pokemon, we’ll overhear someone say “see, they’re playing together.”

But even so, we’re not out until 5am on a week night. Who has time for that? Does he just sleep during the day?

I agree, but I also feel like a lot of people can’t conceive of another “legitimate” religion actually going against their morals. I remember a short debate with my mother about how gay marriage can’t be legal because of freedom of religion. “What about all the Christian religions who do believe in gay marriage?” I…

I agree. The only thing I can think of is that she (probably along with the rest of the Trump family) has a different definition of what sexual harassment is.

I’m not curious to know if more millennials are more religious than other generations were at the same age. Because when I look around, that seems to be the only thing that separates my friends who are having sex from those who are not.

Flashbacks, really? All the flashbacks have been the biggest thing that bugs me about recent DC movies. Just stop. Please.

Let me get this straight. This was controversial because young women and girls might do something rash when they find out they are pregnant. How does preventing them from finding out their are pregnant outside of a doctor’s office make it less likely they will do something rash?

As opposed to a blanket tax, I’ve always wondered if there is a way to tax companies based on how many of their employees are signed up for some kind of welfare or who are homeless. Politicians talk about job creators, but do the jobs created matter if people can’t support themselves on the income they earn?

It’s not a…

This was the most awkward thing to watch. I got the feeling she expected to turn the boos into cheers and was stunned that it didn’t happen. More than once she looked behind her and asked if the next speaker was ready, yet. I couldn’t help but think she trashed the second half of a planned speech because the crowd…

I feel the same way, but I’m not sure it would have made things better. I’ve seen lots of posts calling Bernie a traitor. Hell, at one point I heard them chanting “no unity, no trust.” How do you calm that down when you are the traitor they don’t trust?

Someone already said that to me this morning and I’m not sure if they were joking. Actually, what they said is “let’s ban all knives, now, right!” I’m already done with today. When do they start flying people to Mars? I volunteer.

I know people who are sure Hilary will win, but I’m just not convinced. I was all for Bernie, but he lost. I don’t care if it was rigged or not, though. I just can’t do Trump. But I know so many people who want to not vote for Hilary just to spite the system... it’s scary.

I really want a 3rd party candidate to get…
