My point is that every state has a diverse mix of people, including political views based on varying motivations. Calling an area the “flyover states” I assume you mean everything from Colorado to Minnesota to Mississippi to Ohio — and then to dismiss literally 70% of the country because folks don’t agree with you is…

I also posted this in response to JackRabbit, but for some reason it isn’t showing up...figured it might also be useful here.

1/3 of California voted for Trump in the 2016 election. Check out this map and the sea of red taking up half of the state’s land mass. In New York more than 1/3 of the voters voted for Trump, 41% for Trump in both New Jersey and Delaware, and 33% in Massachusetts. States that went both red and blue in the “flyover”…

Esposito’s Rape Jokes is more traditional standup with a fantastic perspective -- the way she breaks down the information through her comedy is amazing. I highly recommend, and as someone who works in health and education I plan to screen her set to students in the future. I will also screen Nanette, but probably as…

This is amazingly written. I hope we get to see more from you, Sara, on this site. I watched Nanette and was referred to Esposito’s Rape Jokes, which I watched immediately. I appreciate that they approach the topic of assault and rape cultural from two completely different angles (Esposito’s is more traditional stand…

Yes, and the childhood sexual trauma component cannot be dismissed, and should not be something the author makes fun of (they don’t directly, but make fun of men having complex feelings after sex). Most abuse victims do not tell anyone, and the average number is higher for men, and even higher for those of childhood…

As a woman married to a man who has sexual anxiety issues—issues that impact his feelings of masculinity and my feelings of femininity and our ability to connect on that level— one would think this article could and would help anyone whose partner is dealing with these things, to know they are not alone. Often the…

I work in higher ed and we have had an onslaught of angry conservative parents whose kids forward them university email announcements for student club events. The parents phone in yelling for things like “multicultural bake sale” and “christian-muslim student alliance” and “LGBTQ domestic violence training” and the…

Thank you for all the work you do, and hoping you are getting self-care during this awful time. I know you get training to do it, but I also know not all of my counselor friends are able to always turn it off at the end of the day, especially because they have their own anxieties related to this shit show.

It would be great if the IAAF and all reporting outlets would appropriately outline the differences between anatomical sex, chromosomal sex, genetic sex (all components of biological sex) and gender. That this article is categorized under Gender Testing shows just how little the general population understands the…

McGrath also has a Sirius XM show. I was impressed by his knowledge, too. Did not know about the jeopardy show.

I’m in the Midwest, we have local non-profits train civilians and give out free kits with 3 doses per kit. They have state gov’t funding. It started out as a means to arm family members and folks in places people use and might OD but since we’ve had waves of overdoses they will train and provide Narcan to anyone who…

Lost an acquaintance this weekend to overdose. I'm not a user but I carry Narcan always but wasn’t there. In addition to being sad I’m just so angry others around didn’t have Narcan on them. It's free by the boatload in our area. Thank you for educating people through your post.

He has a show on Sirius XM and I love it. He’s so knowledgeable about music, music history, and music nostalgia.

I work in the abortion care field and used to work for a PP. People would follow us home, take photos of us, take photos of our license plates, anything to intimidate and harass. Once a protestor asked how my sibling was doing using my sibling’s first and last name (which is different from mine). How THE FUCK did this…

Also, has to be some sort of HIPAA violation...

Hidradenitis Suppurativa, look it up on Mayo Clinic and if the symptoms look familiar see a dermatologist stat.

It’s been difficult to track bc I’ve been on Mirena IUD since 2011 (got my 2nd in 2016) and therefore I haven’t had a period in 7 years. After reading through other comments I must have a very “mild” case even though it can be painful and hindering to me. I’m not overweight but also not stick thin and stopped…

This is my dad’s favorite movie. We watch it annually on his birthday. The best.

I am so sorry to hear about your husband’s HS. I hope that the two of you can find something he enjoys to celebrate his special day. Know that I am thinking about him today.
