I don't think everyone's all cool with anything really, particularly when it comes to health care, how public monies are spent, and especially with health issues related to largely marginalized and misunderstood sexual minorities. I think we all have priorities based on a combination of what we personally value and…

Not necessarily. We have something called Healthy San Francisco, which is a version of universalized health care - basically a median step between private insurance and safety net insurance. There are different requirements for contribution at the institutional and individual levels, and while it is intended for…

Yes, we do.

Ouch! Gah! Too early for eviscerating truth! Damn! That should have come with a warning sign.

... so to speak.

Or maybe a "Classical Rape," for when I'm sipping a fine Chablis and listening to Wagner (and I get raped).

I can't say that I personally care what happens to Jerry Sandusky in general, but the idea of wishing rape on him, or reacting gleefully to the possibility of it, bums me the fuck out. Those sentiments are rooted in the same foundation that underpins rape culture; they validate the idea that rape is a legitimate form…

Why that's the self-assured pose of a muffin top that graduated from Harvard Business School!

HAHAHA! My rage stroke clearly affected my reading comprehension.

This is beside the point, I know, but it makes my heart dance and twirl when tiny children refer to history, like they understand the long arc of time. A 4 year-old who says "If we still have racism in this country..." is like when my 2.5 year-old niece said "I've lived my whole life in this house." Ha!

thanks for adding this. i'm pregnant right now and i work from home, with my laptop on my lap most of the day. and i'd be lying if i said i hadn't started freaking out about it a little. your babies didn't come out with spiral-y eyes and radioactive bones? promise?

until i started reading these comments, i was sure the ad was just blatantly anti-trans. the "not her planet. yours" bit is just hurtful. because whether she's a trans woman or a muscular woman, i feel like the message is "planet fitness is for nice normal white dudes. no genderfreaks allowed."

Y'ALL. what is up with this b-12 shot to the ass business? all the famousy people seem to be doing it (beiber! madonna! timberlake! etc!), and i keep hearing vague passing references to how it'll cure anything pretty much immediately, and it's like dorian gray in a syringe, and people who are at death's door can…

I don't make enough money to pay rent AND monthly student loan repayments for that higher education that's so integral to the American Dream, which is an interesting thing...

Thanks for saying this. That old high-school feeling jangles quietly in the background, like it's a pretty girl's world, and I'm just trying to get by.

and to close your legs to married men.

workin on my NIGHT CHEESE!

Sigh.

What, you don't see the tiny Christs? I must just be having a holy vision, because I am so pure.

Anybody else notice that two of the death-posters had crucifixes in their twitter names? This really brings me home to my Christian roots. I remember spending a whole Sunday school lesson on the "if that miserable cunt can cheat on you, you might as well die" psalms.
