Yes! I just mentioned our convo to someone responding to me actually. As of now, I got a couple resources from my therapist to call that might direct me to something and I have a friend who is in social work that is going to check her databases at work since they have records of advocacy groups of all kinds. So…

Yep, that is happening a lot too. And once again, it takes FOREVER to successfully fight that once you receive said statement. Another commenter on here, darleeeene and I were recently talking about trying to find some sort of advocacy group or something to fight for women having insurance issues with womencare and…

Nice they don’t tell you that.

Damn I have PCOS, and that possibility was never mentioned to me when I was trying to get one! Guess it’s good that it didn’t work out then...

And just like I do every time Jez posts one of these articles, I will pop in to say that insurance companies blatantly violating the ACA and giving women the run around is a HUGE factor in why I and many women I know do not have IUDs. It takes a lot of persistence and lengthy calls during working hours to succeed.

Hey, I never said I believed it. But it’s what they’ve been saying for years. *shrug* They say it about a lot of shit then later retract too so who knows?

Holy crap, iZombie was very topical last season then!

That makes me sad to hear about Amy. :( If you tell me that the recent rumors about Louis CK being a creep to women are true though, that would truly make me upset!

Comedy is a dark, weird community. Incidentally, I feel like I’ve mostly learned that from Maron’s podcast haha. Especially back in the early days when he mostly had comedians as his guests.

Nitrates are delicious indeed: sausage, salami, capicola, pepperoni, bacon, all delicious as fuck.

I always think of Alan Arkin as the grandpa in Little Miss Sunshine:

Word. I just try to balance. If I feel like I’ve been eating too much crap, I’ll up my veggies and lower my crap quotient for a few days.

Meat forever, Vegan never!

I mean, if you’re going for lower fat turkey has that. But the cancer link is supposedly due to nitrates. Most turkey bacon is processed meat too and therefore has nitrates just like regular bacon (not all turkey bacon maybe, but most).

He’s been making music for a long time. He started by fronting an alt-country band called Whiskeytown, and then went solo around 2000.

Man, this does sound really freakin’ awesome. I just looked at ticket prices though and yowza!

I’m not in NYC, but that sounds really amazingly creative and fun!

Dang, this is disappointing to hear. :( I really dug the Soska sisters American Mary (and of course it’s always great to see more female directors in horror) and Blumhouse has put out some good stuff over the past couple years so I had high hopes.

For me, it ruins AHS...but for this show, it works. It’s just a silly roller coaster where you enjoy the ride, instead of a trip where you’re working towards a destination.

Yep! Again, I’m just taking it for the campy romp it is. There is no real attention to plot going on here lol.
