Yes. Ashley Judd can kill him now.

1. Medical professionals are always the first choice and best step to take to talk to about potential illnesses and screening for them.

Man, I could really go off and successfully rebut your rude statement, but I’m gonna just leave this here instead.

I’m really curious about what worries led her to ask her mom to get checked. Not that I want to pry into Tay’s private life, but it’d be nice to hear what to look for in our own families.

I have THE BEST BATHTUB in the world. It’s an antique iron, claw foot tub. When you fill it up with hot, hot water, the whole thing just radiates perfection. That bathtub is my refuge. That bathtub is my Fortress of Solitude. That bathtub makes awful days into cathartic tub cries.

And if I ever get doxxed people knowing that I like the smell of period blood is going to be the least of my problems, since I have the tendency to overshare on here/on GT. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So would it be cheating for me to post the mimic troll's "I'm doing it for you! I'm here to start a revolution! I'm the hero Kinja needs and deserves!" bullshit?

I once called in to work because my sweater was covered in human excrement. My boss called bullshit.

She was very surprised when I showed up and - lo! - the San Francisco MUNI and its delightful population of crazies had, in fact, throw feces at me that morning.

(She gave me an hour off to go home and change, but made…

"I can't go out - I tore both of my Achilles tendons."

In high school one of the guys in my health class showed up about five minutes late for class. When he arrived the teacher asked why he was late. He replied "I saw two girls making out and I HAD to watch them."
