Yes. My dad died from not getting an organ... it’s no joke, and I don’t even think I could give away a kidney to a stranger, blood, marrow, part of organs that grow back, but kidney? Probably not. While she might be a tad obnoxious, let her gloat. 

I hope you are listening to Maintenance Phase. Super informative and educational, also funny as hell.

I can’t read the original article, paywall, but Michael really distills it down. I love his writing.

this story freaks me out. Like, maybe because I’m a parent of small children, but there is something visceral and intense in me that reacts to the sound of a child in distress, and that’s a feeling that I didn’t have until I had kids. I can only imagine your dads feelings when this happened. This story should have…

Agreed. this one feels very real, I think her being a trans woman and adding that element of what was happening, and then her brother confirming he felt it.. some of the others are already obviously not real.

Ooh yay. So not a funny thing that happened with this last year. Last October I was working from home due to pandemic. I live in California so its still not cold, not really fall. Well a week or so after this post came out, I decided to read a bunch of stories. This particular day was windy and the leaves were…

its the only reason. if there is nothing wrong with the baby no doctor would preform a third trimester abortion. if there was something wrong with the mother, they would deliver the baby in order to save mom, and do their best to save baby too.

I’ve had lots of conversations with anti abortion christians. not sure if your mom is one of these, but the folks I know are very consistent. They do not believe in exceptions for rape or incest, and are maybe ok if the mothers life is on the line, but its not clear cut. They are however also against the death…

As a resident of California I agree. I mean, he’s an elitest and went to an expensive dinner during the pandemic.. whatever. I think he’s done a good job considering. 

Yes. I have to believe this. Because honestly, if people didn’t want safe abortion access in this country, Roe v. Wade would never have gone to the Supreme Court to begin with. This law in Texas, when all those people realize rape victims can’t get abortions, they will suddenly wake up and go, wait, what? If enough…

What if you remarry? See my position is, that you should be able to keep the name because as you said, you’ve used it for years. But ultimately it seems like people change it again. I never changed my name, so I already don’t have the same name as my kids. It sure as hell made getting my passport easier!

Yep. So i’m a lawyer, I don’t work in big law, I don’t make big money, but i know lots of folks who do. The first time I saw Erika’s home and the cars and the personal assistants I knew something was up. Unless you become an attorney who owns multiple firms, and so you get money from origination, no lawyer, who is…

I am a huge fan of Basic Instinct obviously, but I admit I’m a huge fan of this genre for all of its abusurdity, for anyone who hasn’t seen Madonna in Body of Evidence, its a must. So bad its good. I also love Wild Things, one of my favorites. Fatal Attraction is also one of my favorites.

you can see the pictures. It’s kind of a gut job. Gloria had interesting tastes.. but the kitchen, floors, paint all need to be redone. Who knows what the bathrooms look like...

Right. I myself have encountered many space invaders. Clients mostly. And all but one time I felt it was “innocent.” Here’s the kicker, for people who are space invaders or huggers, when you tell them, I’m not a hugger, they respect that. I think thats how you figure out who is just a hugger and who isn’t. 

I’m also an F and am now intrigued... the last spaghetti strap I wore was in high school... that was a long time ago.

I’m so sorry you went with through that. I agree with you wholeheartedly, but wanted to share what I think your friends meant when they said that to you, as I kind of get what they meant. I have I suppose what would be called low desire. I’m not a trauma victim, and my husband is the opposite of an abusive, pushy…

OMG I love them. As a northern Californian I am officially a person with no accent. I don’t even have the “Californian” accent other people in the U.S. and outside the U.S. think of, that tends to be in Southern CA if it exists. So the Northern Irish accents are my favorite, even though I tend ot have to put on the…

You are lucky to be the same size as your friends... no such luck for me.

Yeah, or about all the people who will be forced to deliver fetuses that have no brain stem, or other vital organ. or have a terrible disease that will doom the fetus to a horrifying death. Lets also not talk about all the other kids with perhaps genetic disabilities that people do not want to parent and will put them…
