On the grossness of NBC’s coverage: I will never, ever forget John Tesh coming back in from a commercial break during the ‘96 Olympics with the immortal line, “Little girls, dancing for the camera.”

I know Clinton supporters are in a hurry for Sanders to GTFO, but as a progressive I feel like this is a best case scenario, the two of them collaborating on the actual policy platform.

I’ve done some extensive wikipedia reading and I still don’t understand who she is or why she’s famous. Unless she’s just famous for marrying him?

I feel like I can’t compete with the writer’s story, but for me it was a period/virus combo. I had clots the size of guinea pigs dropping out of my vagina as I sat shaking on the toilet shitting my brains out while throwing up into a trashcan.

This is why I hate people and prefer to hide inside my house with my dogs and my internet.

My ‘spiritual’ friend dumped me when I got chronically ill. Because it says so in The Secret, you shouldn’t consort with sick people because it will attract more sickness. Some spiritual people are sick in the head. Namaste cuntface!

Every time a member at my church goes in for surgery or a medical treatment, the first thing we do is pray for the hands of the doctor, nurses and medical staff. Miracles are worked through their hands, denying the miraculousness of modern medicine is ludacris.

People, please start believing that health care IS the miracle God sent you.

My mother-in-law already told me that I can’t have just one kid. I told her maybe I’ll just stick with zero then.

Ahhhhh, yes. Husband and I are firmly in the child-free camp*, and we often get questioned about our decision, as if we hadn’t thought long and hard and agonized over it, both separately and together. We both agree that it is a selfish decision, but we don’t see that as a negative thing, we see that as a mature and…

I’m a teacher, and that kind of thing makes me insane. I’m sorry. I hope your mother set her straight.

I had one child instead of two. Doing it wrong!

Back when we were struggling to conceive, I schooled an anti-choice acquaintance on why we couldn’t “just adopt” a baby (~$60K in fees, Guatemala closed its program, rejection from other international programs for my hearing loss and his Crohn’s, heartbreak over a state-side mom who changed her mind). She nodded her…

Totally. I have a friend who desperately wanted to adopt, but ended up getting pregnant instead because the adoption process was so expensive and grueling. Not only is adoption difficult, but it’s also flawed in many cases.

Or “well I thought it would fix my marriage, like how we got the dog when it seemed like he was flaking”

Talking about the decision to have kids with my queer friends: “I don’t know, I know it seems like a lot of time and effort and money but the truth is we’ve just reached that point in our life where we want to start a family and grow our love, you know?”

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS. Anyone who says “just adopt” has never thought about it beyond the fact that there are kids who need parents. Like it’s that easy, you decide, and then the next day you bring home a kid.

The venn diagram between people who say, “Just adopt” and people who don’t know the first fucking thing about adoption is pretty much a circle. I’d love to see them try it, except they probably shouldn’t be exposed to children.

I am an IVF baby. We're triplets. I have nothing but good things to say about it.
