I admit that I was non-committally pro-life during my teens. I had a friend who would actually hold up placards at clinics-I never did that-but it took until I was older and hearing a lot of stories of people’s abortions before I decided that pro-choice was the most ethical stance...

The 2000 election was the first national election I was old enough to vote in, and I didn’t vote. Have voted in everything I could ever since.

Heh. I had a UC Regents fellowship for grad school. Real glad I never actually met those guys. Sheebus.

People need to be booted from their careers for this shit. Heads have to roll for real and asses need to be sued off, or it’s not going to go away. I so do not miss being young and being a target of this stuff, but it’s so disappointing that the same gotdamn shit is still happening. It’s good that we’re talking more…

I used to commute into the Valley to tech at Stanford and I hated that commute but maaan there was no way I would’ve chosen to live in Palo Alto, even if I could’ve afforded it. I got a job closer to home instead a few months in. Even if you can get past the blandness (and I don’t really mind-I grew up in the rural…

The Other One, 4evah.

I woke up with a start last weekend coz I thought I heard shots firing and I totally thought a neighbor was offing themselves or something until I remembered I’m in Europe and there was some sort of festival being inaugurated. Srsly.

Seems...likely. I had a really bad allergic reaction when I was much younger and in school. I had insurance and even so I received enormous bills for the ambulance ride for months on end and spent uncounted hours on the phone trying to sort it out. I was near-broke and terrified, and that was when I was in the…

I’m making little squeaking noises while crying. ahhhhh

aaaaaaaaathat’s awful. Every time I turn around I hear about somebody being roofied. How is this so common?? It’s fucking criminal.

I think I’m going to throw up I feel so bad for 10-year-old you. this is terrrrrible. Jesus Christ.

This is...incredible. Pulitzer-worthy.

DED. The part with you crying. OMG

I am a terrestrial creature, which I knew, but I tried to go try surfing lessons with my brother once. I got seasick from surfing. Don’t ask me how it works, but it does.

I’m crying. The sky blue caddy detail did it.

Yeah, I sometimes faint when getting blood tests or shots. It’s shitty but I always warn people that I need to lay down. They usually have seen enough of us to know it’s a real thing.

When I was in my mid-20s I was going through a really bad time at work and I had really bad periods anyway, but stress made them a lot worse. I was under a lot of pressure and agreed to go hiking with friends and my visiting mom (we don’t have the kind of relationship where you talk openly about periods or anything,…

I am going to keep the Pee Fu in mind in case I ever need it. Like this woman I work with is pretty Mean Girls to me. Next time she wants something I can just pee on myself ;)

Nobody ever seems to have any pregnancy stories that make me go “hey, I could do that”. It’s always like urrrrrrrggggggggggg.

Ahahha!
