2 things.

Oh man. Yeah. 

I definitely understand your alienation. I ended up in a hetero relationship with a kid, so when I see those “who can go to Pride” pieces I generally get a distinctly excluded feeling. I don’t allow that to dissuade me from participating in Pride to the best of my ability. Parenthood seems to complicate things the…

One of my oldest friends is a transman, and he always has said, go big or die trying. I think it’s part of a coping mechanism.

Agreed. I’ll be 37 this fall, and when I went back to school I was taken aback by how much more open everyone is to talking about their experiences generally. It also seemed like the anti-bullying push of the mid aughts actually has brought all these kinds of abuses to the forefront of conversation, but there is still…

I loved it loved it loved it. These are the stories we need to push for primetime tv over yet another cop drama. like, I kept shouting at my tv that this is an american experience, pbs! my husband was only mildly amused at me, but seriously. centering queer stories generally and queer poc stories are exactly the…

my goddess! you are resurrected!

So in honor of Pride month, I have been purging homophobic people from my life and today I severed contact with one of my school friends. She really surprised me with how hard she went in on Bi-erasure and minimizing QUILTBAG trauma, but deleting her contacts info has been fucking euphoric. She has repeatedly shown…

I used to work with a tall woman who had a particularly short partner. Essentially, she said he told her that there is a saying that it doesn’t matter how tall everyone is when they are laying down in bed. So. Have a happy relationship and ignore those rude-ass people.

We are a proving ground for every conservative bad idea. Every fucking awful thing that hits national news from a backwater state has already shit the bed in my home state.

Cookies, Jack Black is just an older, more musical Seth Rogan.

Its a Would for me and I’m not even sorry. Cute hair, nice eyes and is willing to go testify before congress for the off chance they give a fuck about helping his wife? Swoon. The only downside is his shitass friends Jonah Hill and the fucking Francos.

Clive, ily, but barring death I don’t see how that birth could’ve been worse.

The OB’s fucking suck.

The birthing center plans of the 40's and 50's (here in rural US) had a lot of faults, but with major updates they seem like a good compromise between hospitalizations and home births. My dad was born in one in mid-missouri in 1955 (after his mom had 3 previous home births) and they would have fared very poorly…

When I read that the United Kingdom had been offering gas and air to women laboring in their own fucking homes in the goddamned seventies and the US didn’t offer it to me in a hospital in 2014 I flipped shit.

Fucking yes and thank you.

Amen.

I would continue to pay HBO if they had a weekly 30min show consisting exclusively of the Small Council’s minutes.
