I would delete this comment if I could because we are way off track. Instead I’m not going to keep having this conversation because it’s not the point.

Please don’t explain to me that it’s just me, I’m doing it wrong. Please don’t do that. I am not unique, and my doctors plural have not been religious nutbags. But here. Here are some links about choosing a Primary Care Physician on an HMO. And another edit, because I must admit your comment is one more in a line of…

Yes, but sometimes a birth control that isn’t quite working for you is better than nothing at all. Especially if it will be a long time before you have access to a doctor who can work with you on changing it. Healthcare isn’t affordable and accessible to everyone. Women need to be able to make decisions about their…

“If I had a monthly hormonal cycle that could cause me pain and affect my mood drastically, I’d want a doctor’s opinion on exactly how much and of what I should be taking before I mess with it. Maybe I’m wrong, but I figured the medical side of it was actually, legitimately more complex given that every woman’s…

I was so glad to read this because I was starting to feel rather lonely. Also, I know women seem to always get defensive about their decisions to keep their last names, but it always upsets me at the core of it all that their decisions will always ultimately be supported by the patriarchy and it’s like we’re not…

HOW does 45 not stop embarrassing himself with this fucking handshake? Does he truly not have any idea that everyone thinks it’s ridiculous? Also, the only thing keeping me going right now is watching saner world leaders treat him like the incompetent toddler that he is.

LOL Ok. I’ll give you that.

It is so very frustrating that there is always so much resistance to the idea of nuance. Pointing out that Enid and Rebecca and Seymour are sometimes racist (even when trying not to be) does not mean that they are totally good or totally bad people. Nor does it mean that Rich is advocating that we stop liking this…

Hey, we tried here in PA but it’s tough out here! I am happy to report that in my neck of the woods more and more “hate has no home here” signs are popping up on lawns to counteract the “we support our local police” and “Trump/Pence” signs. Which makes me think it’s not crazy to imagine things might go a bit better…

Funny. I was there with you until I heard her on this interview, and then I thought: she is sounding very presidential. So I’m starting to think Warren 2020 might not be the worst idea ever—of course, we can’t have nice things and sexism so this will never happen.

Except he can’t actually read them so he has to ask other prisoners to read to him and most of them refuse because they think it’s funny. :(

What??? That’s amazing! Way to go!

Maybe your family isn’t like mine, but mine drove me craaaaazy leading up to the wedding with their suggestions and their neediness and their failure to RSVP and their criticism. And although my parents have perfectly functional cell phones, my relatives were still calling ME to ask me things like where to find the…

Good luck! I don’t know your situation but I’m like 7 days ahead of you and the letter I wrote to the seller introducing us and telling her what we loved about the house and how we wanted to cherish it was the top reason why she accepted our offer.

Of course! Especially since you can’t take it down after a while. It bugs me, though, when people find it and respond to it like 3 years later. The Toast went belly-up almost a year ago and I just got a notification of a new comment there!

SO. Last week at this time I was nervously biting my nails waiting to see if the seller would accept our offer (and also starting the process of thinking “well, it’s fine, no one gets their first choice of house anyway,” etc) and then! Monday morning we found out that she accepted our offer! We were forced to not ask…

So it sounds like the first guy doesn’t want to go down on anyone, and is really looking for an answer as to whether, in order to ever have sex again, he has to. He doesn’t, and here, based on many years of successfully and unsuccessfully having sex with straight and bisexual men as a vagina-possessing person, is my…

“This is a wall. THIS is a wall. This is a wall. THIS is a wall.”

I mean, even if the girl and then woman did her best to make the best of a situation--god, even if she ended up loving him or something, it still does not make what he did even close to ok. When you have sexual intercourse with someone who does not have the right or recourse to say no, even when you do it over the…

Happy almost birthday! That pizza looks amazing. Not sure if I should admit this but I was feeling anxious today and basically ate french fries with meat on them for lunch. Which were amazing, of course.
