My mom was super pissed and talked to the school board, and a friend who was the editor of the student paper wanted to do a sex ed edition where they passed out condoms and they laughed her out of the board meeting - and said “Kids at Monroe Central are abstinent”. The man who said this knocked up his wife when they…

Selma is very nearby!  So yes, wouldn’t be surprised. 

Rural Indiana near Muncie ... east/central. 

She was great, but Stephanie Tsu deserves the nom from EEAAO if anyone gets one.

I swear to god if they snub Stephanie Tsu like the GGs did I’m gonna riot. 

I did not love that book - it really bothered me that the perspective as all from a man. I understand the conceit, but feel like the movie is probably better.

I am from Indiana, graduated H.S. in 2004, so it’s been a while, but anecdotally I can tell you they invited employees from a local crisis pregnancy center to come and speak during health class.  We were an abstinence only jurisdiction, and 11% of my graduating class were mothers and fathers when they walked across…

In some states they’ve mandated that these centers proclaim via signage that they are NOT an abortion provider, and do not provide medical services.  This is the case in WA I know for sure. 

This is the stupidest thing I truly have ever heard - go back under your bridge.

Ok, so after looking at Armchairs recent guests I’m going to put Gwen Stefani on the list.  Would anyone be surprised if Blake Shelton was an asshole? Nooooopers. 

I have been thinking about this very thing!!!! My mind went to Kristin Bell - but her husband IS a podcast guy. Maybe we need to look at Armchair Expert recent guests to narrow this down???

I can say with tried and tested assurance - my dishwasher requires a pre-rinse.  Tell me all you want to not do it, but I’m the one who has to scrap the crud off when it doesn’t rinse clean.  

My response wasn’t in defense of Beanie, but to promote how amazing Mueller is... 

This is truly FAR from the reality.  As a female higher wage earner, I find that men get truly mopey and extra aggro when they make less. They don’t have that thing to hold over you.  

Brandi Carlile is my lighthouse and beacon - thanks for shining your bright light and bringing Joni back to us these past few years.  I’m dead. 

GREAT EXAMPLE - that song is a wrecking ball when sung correctly.

The Supreme Court just overturned a termination decision from a Washington school district (Bremerton?? maybe) for their football coach praying before a game. I’m thinking this bullshit falls squarely into the new bullshit precedence of our FLOP SCOTUS. I hate it here.

That’s so damn delicious ... this plus watching the the documentary Our Father where the Indiana AG then failed the patients of the fertility doctor that used his own sperm to father like 30 kids is just confirming what I already know about Indiana and it’s legal system - SHAM, FLOP.  - Signed, a former Hoosier.

Former Hoosier here! I went to an abstinence only sex-ed program in my public school. A TINY 7th grader got pregnant from a 16 year old. She got an abortion, because DUH, and the whole school destroyed her. Nothing happened to him.

This news makes her messaging around forgiveness make WAY more sense.  She’s even more tied to him now.
