My local mall has a group of Girl Scouts and 2 dads with a kiosk to sell cookies. I absentmindedly tried to hand my money to the adult on duty (a dad) and he said “just a moment please. Sienna, honey, you have a customer!” and this adorable and very professional wee child came over and slowly-but-surely added up my…

Same here. Ugly crying tears of happiness and relief. My workplace is dealing with some huge #MeToo level issues that is exposing so much pain, trauma, and grief. It is heartwarming and healing to see this expression of pure joy from our future leaders!

I was ready to be convinced, but Adam Levine somehow made it sound like he was in a praise band at a megachurch. His guitar playing at the 4 minute mark was fine. The guy from Train was okay in general, definitely sounded better than Levine.

Former clinic worker here. This happens frequently. And because we are taught to be non-judgmental AND are sworn by HIPAA, they get to go on calling us murderers from the sidewalks when a week ago we were holding their hands during their abortion because “I can’t tell anyone else about this.”

Perhaps you don’t listen to much poetry read aloud or spoken word art? It definitely rhymed. Perhaps you were thrown off by the cadence.

Did not know Halsey was mixed and appreciate your comment so I can read up more about it for my own knowledge and to share with my nieces. Thank you.

You can still get married, just elope or do the courthouse thing and let a friend or family member throw you a backyard cookout celebration. Then kids can play nerf guns in the yard while the adults hang out. Even with my story above, though, our wedding was a blast and I didn’t know about all of the weirdos until…

LOVE that book! Very powerful.

So they can walk past protestors calling them a murderer? Or get called a slut/whore for having sex in the first place? Or called a sinner or condemned to hell for ending a pregnancy? Or be “just another” black or brown woman putting babies into the already overrun foster care system?

You would think that, BUT these folks will not stop at anything. Look at the “Center for Medical Progress” who created a fake fetal tissue procurement business to help clinics get tissue to research labs. Look at the handful of very vocal “former Planned Parenthood employees” who are now “pro-life” and get paid gobs…

I see this being used by anti-choice zealots who will apply to abortion care jobs, refuse to do their job, and then try to sue when they get reprimanded or fired.

Yes! I was being hassled in public at a music event by some old dude who “was just trying to be nice why are you getting mad!?!?” yet wouldn’t leave me alone. Dozens of people were within spitting distance of us but I couldn’t catch anyone’s eye for assistance. Some amazing petite woman about 7" shorter than me walked…

That’s a great question and it can be really scary. I’d used the apps in my mid-sized city for a while to get used to it, went on lots of dates, met guys I had mutual friends with, asked about them to said mutual friends. When I traveled it was a lot more “work” to investigate someone and I was surprised to find they…

I’ll cosign this and add that using Tinder/Bumble while traveling is even better! There’s a time limit to get that action if you want to do it, no way to draw out the flirtation, and then you never have to see them again unless you swing through town in the future and you’re both still single! Did that a few years ago…

That gif makes my knees hurt and I’m more than 10 years her junior.

I work and teach in the health professions at a university. Suddenly we have this influx of men wanting to go to school for nursing. Professors and advisors are telling them that they can still work in health care via an “easier” program and make a “ton” of money because “male nurses are in demand.”

I love her videos so much that I watched all of these while eating lunch at my desk and didn’t realize that was weird until a colleague walked in and screeched about it.

YES! Some other things about the rent’d house I mentioned above:

We live in the Midwest and there have been a series of “flipped” houses where regular folks buy fixer uppers, fix SOME stuff, run out of money, and try to sell a partially redone house. I don’t watch the show but I hear a lot about shiplap. Well one house we looked at was about 80% done, but every. fucking. room. had…

Even better, it’s a 3 year residency that started a year ago! And if you click through the website, tickets for women are about half the price for men. Is that legal???
