You magnificent bastard.

Totally. I’m an ultra marathoner, and there hasn’t been a single one during which I haven’t thought about The Long Walk.

Read The Bachman Books—a collection of novellas he wrote under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. Those are some of the stories I can still remember vividly even 25 years later.

At what point can someone start pointing out that it’s not cool for POTUS to continue promoting a for-profit entity? I wish I could remember who made the comment about it toeing the line of legality, since I have no knowledge of that subject. But it seems highly suspect to me... if the grinning skull that is Conway…

The bit about his bulbous belly caused an unbidden thought to rear its hideous head: what does Trump’s belly button look like?

Fuck this guy, but do we know he is a (practicing) Christian? If he is, then yeah, EVERYONE should be using “radical Christian terrorist,” but I don’t see anyplace that mentions his religion. The fucker who kills people in the name of religion, sure, but maybe he’s just a “radical white terrorist”? Or are we to assume…

Tangentially, Humorless Dickhole belongs in the NOTY bracket. Someone, somewhere, please name your child Humorless Dickhole.

Condoms require the active participation of the male partner... as opposed to the female being able to have ownership of her own reproductive rights. It’s about making the decision hers.

I laughed because I’m a 12 year-old boy (definitely not a 39 year-old woman. Nope.). That’s fantastic.

I have excellent credit and would like to be loaned Idris Elba or Michael Fassbender. Or both—will pay higher interest rate for that. Where do I send my application, please?

I’ve always gone to PP for mine, but it’s definitely worth making sure, thanks!

I turn 40 this fall. It’s been 15 years now (5*3) and haven’t had any pushback on re-upping... we’ll see what happens. I do enjoy not having a period!

Yeah, I’ve been waffling on when to swap mine out (it’ll be Mirena #4). Was going to wait until fall when money is less tight, but I’m making my appointment at PP for next month just in case this shit goes through.

Private industry will only pony up if there’s potential direct financial benefit. I’m a health services/public health researcher who left the public sector in October and am pretty glad—100% of my funding came from the Feds there. I’m in the private sector now, doing similar work but funded by pharma (mostly). They…

Jesus, that’s unsettling.

I’m 39, a cis/hetero female in Durham, NC. I work in the health services research field and am self-employed. I am divorced but now in a long-term relationship with a man. No kids, just pets.

I’ve written it before, and I’ll write it again: Jim Cooke is one of the best things about these sites.
