I’m totally on board with the creative visualization stuff--I just don’t think it needs to come with a side of pseudoscience or other religious trappings to be effective.

Well said. I think I would be more comfortable with woo and find it harmless if everyone was 100% open about the truth. If Mama Medicine or whoever just said “look, I’m going to play some crystal bowls and chant at you and you’re going to lie there and close your eyes because it feels nice to take a little time out of…

The real Gilead will include bonus white supremacy.

I agree that it opens up that question, like, legally, but I disagree that the Supreme Court, as it will soon be constituted once Trump gets his nominee confirmed, will rethink their previous position. We will have a ridiculous double standard that favors the anti-choice side and they are 100% ok with that result.

So pissed at this motherfucker today. It must be nice to be a rich old white man who doesn’t give a fuck what happens after he’s dead in a few years because he clearly doesn’t care about any of his own rulings on say, the First Amendment or LGBTQ rights, because those are all gonna be undone posthaste.

I used to think that, but not really anymore. It’s clear to me by now that the anti-choice movement in this country won’t stop at overturning Roe--they want to overturn Griswold.

I was getting major Elie Saab vibes so I was pleased to see that confirmed! It’s a beautiful dress and they look so happy. This was the “royal wedding” that I actually gave a shit about.

I don’t seek out “influencers”, but I sometimes end up following them because I want to see fashion or food or animals or whatever. I find it soothing to look at other people’s avocado toast or pretty sunsetsI guess? I think these aspirational images are fine, like most things, in moderation, and as long as you don’t…

I’m 37 and I am fully participating in the current bare midriff moment, I think mostly because I wasn’t allowed to wear crop tops to school the last time they were around?

I’m also offended that we have rebranded fanny packs as “belt bags” this time around, like we are afraid to embrace the awful truth.

Groff is one of my favorite contemporary writers and I can’t wait to read Florida!

Right? I know the phrase “born on third base and thinks he hit a home run” is cliche and applied to W but man, this is Trump for sure. Has he ever honestly worked at or studied or prepared for anything in his damn life (except maybe for sexytimes with a porn actress)?

I thought Josh Chan was West Covina born and raised?

I immediately thought of McQueen and what a gut-punch that was as well. Both were extremely talented and it’s so sad when anyone is in the state to take their own life.

So I expect before agreeing to make a wedding cake, he demands proof of every straight couple who walks in that they are marrying in a (presuambly Christian) religious ceremony, right? It’s INTERESTING how all of these bigots claim BUT GOD as the reason for their bigotry, yet they never seem to actually screen for any…

Apologies to Kansas, I clearly read too fast (and to be fair Kansas has a less than stellar track record for reproductive rights)!

Imagine the nightmare where you live in Kansas (that’s it, that’s the whole nightmare, jk) and you unexpectedly got pregnant, considered your options (or maybe you knew you really only had one option that made any sense), booked your medical abortion with pp and now this shit. This is awful.

Right, but I have several friends who were also ambivalent who became mothers and have been extremely happy with it, so I have massive FOMO, you know?

Thank you for acknowledging a truth I don’t see mentioned much: the possibility that you might just not like your kid. I’m not talking love, I’m sure I would love my offspring, but the fact is that I don’t really like most people too much, so I’m actually very afraid of having a child with a personality that is just…

I’m a few years older than you and in the exact same boat: ambivalent married to a dude who is also ambivalent. I think he just wants me to make the decision (and he has even said he thinks it should ultimately be my decision bc it’s my body, etc), but I feel paralyzed about it. Since I have zero desire to experience…
