I've found the clitoris, but my gf still won't tell me where the giant squid is hidden.

So, here's what the truth is for me. This isn't really 4Chan's fault. But we, and 4Chan, have to face the fact that when this man murdered this woman and took pictures of her nude and strangulated body, the very first thing he though of was 4Chan and his thought process lead him to believe that his "friends" on…

you have the right to have a religion but it's mostly going to be mine because you're not free of religion

"Well, he screamed something explicit at me on the sidewalk and I was so touched and turned on that I doubled back to talk to him and now we're a couple" said no woman ever in the history of human beings.

This is why war rhetoric gets so dangerous in health care. Every disease is not a "battle", every illness is not an enemy waiting to be conquered. I work on issues related to end-of-life care and advance care planning and our culture's obsession with avoiding death drives me crazy. By denying the role of death in…

"[I]f she chooses instead to fight this disease, her life and witness would be an incredible example and inspiration to countless others in her situation."

That is not accurate, he rode the subway but he rode the subway when he had NO fever. Ebola is NOT infectious before you have a fever. He took his temperature twice a day, he stayed inside as much as he could, he consciously limited his physical contact with other people (because Ebola can ONLY be transmitted through…

I feel a great disturbance in the Tort, as though millions of HIPAA compliance officers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

For the benefit of all moms, future moms, and happily child-free friends of moms, I will share the words of my amazing pediatrician when it became clear that breastfeeding was not going to work for me and my son despite my increasingly frantic efforts:

My freshman year of college, I made the mistake of dating a very serious born-again Christian. (I was raised both Catholic and Unitarian Universalist, I'm not sure what he was doing in the relationship either.)

She truly deserves this. She survived the Taliban's bullet, but most importantly, survived the Taliban's rhetoric.

PREACH. So many of my friends seem to make their mothering decisions based entirely on a mix of guilt and fear and not based on what they want/think is best for the kid. I have not had that problem so far, which leads to awkward conversations like:

Clowns. My best story involves a lot of clowns.

I mean, I have other stories. Honorable mention goes to the time I had sex on the 5th floor of a hotel's glass-walled staircase in plain view of the street below because we couldn't afford to get a room in said hotel, and the time I swam out to the center of Walden Pond…

I share your hippie dreams. I am currently amassing Haba toys for the in-utero Pinwheel. If I can't imagine it in the hands of a plump and rosy German child, it is not good enough. Clearly I am a first-time parent.

From IFLS a few days ago:

This right here is why I really hate the mentality that I need to give a reason for or "excuse" my abortion. It's my business, and they can fuck off why. If you try to justify it all it does is give them grist for their mill. Just like anything else medical, "nunya business" is enough.
