The American Family Association can go get fucked. Telling kids that they shouldn’t be part of a “family”, such as the GSA because they’re different is a pretty damn shitty family value if you ask me.

I noticed Skinny Girl wine in the store the other day. That is a thing that exists. It’s something like 15 calories less/glass than regular wine. I cannot fathom being so worried about 15 calories that I would buy diet wine.

Most abortions are done with a pair of pills, and in most cases women take the second pill and have the actual miscarriage at home. A video conference isn't really any different from an office visit.

There’s no such thing as “telemedicine abortion pills.” They are literally the same thing as the abortion pill, it’s just dispensed as opheelia says. You don’t have the doc in the room with you, you have a nurse instead. And medical abortion is a two pill series- you take the first one at the office, and then the…

It’s the same thing as going to the doctor, but you talk to the provider via videoconferencing. A nurse or nurse practitioner examines you, the doctor talks to you about the results, and the nurse gives you the pills. States have banned nurse practitioners from performing abortions, even though they’re perfectly…

She asked to get paid for her time doing press for Precious (time spent going to junkets and festivals like Cannes). Apparently it’s customary on the industry to get your flights/ hotels covered by the studio for such press but not your actual time monetarily compensated. Monique’s request got the director, Lee…

I watched her comedy special where she was at a women’s prison. She spent add much time documenting their stories as she did with the actual performance.

Not related but your comment made me miss my sister so much. We closed every birthday card, letter or whatever with “you’re the bee’s knees” (her to me) and “you’re the cat’s pajamas” (me to her) Sometimes we used the letters as shorthand.

I think this is so sweet but it’s also terrifying.

HOW DARE YOU YOGA WE KNOW THEM. WE HAVE LAUGHED TOGETHER, CRIED, SAID WEIRD SHIT IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT.

It's intended to be humorous.

Not only is this motherfucker wearing that shirt, but someone is selling that shirt.

Fuck this dude. I hope he gets locked in a port-a-potty for the duration of his Coachella experience.

“The female bod” didn't exactly make this one happen by itself. I hope everyone comes out of this reasonably healthy and well. Feminism shouldn't mean we have to applaud medically risky choices.

I looooove analogies, and honey, that was a great one.

At some point in the mid-90s, I realized, “hey, I haven’t thought about nuclear war in a while!”

It definitely wasn’t the best example, but it was the first that came to mind. :)

I think it’s kind of fascinating that there are commenters here saying that if someone doesn’t know about the Armenian genocide, they are at fault for their ignorance. Nah. Our educational system is. . . not the best in some ways.

“Cut and dried” is the original. “Cut and dry” is a morphed version that is increasingly used. :)

When I was suddenly given a cancer diagnosis, we were stunned. But, I later found out from my mother that he called and told her that she didn't need to worry. He was not ever leaving me and that he would take care of her only child no matter what.
