And also call their senators and urge them to block the Kav. nomination. I watched RBG with my elderly grandmother last night and she told many horrifying tales of what the housewives did in the 40s and 50s when they needed to help each other “bring on menstruation.” Some of them died and that was a sad “fact of…

Repro health person who works in abortion care, here. I’m glad you got the help you need. The term “abortionist,” however, is severely negative and stigmatized language rooted in the anti-abortion movement and is used to make physicians, nurses, and other qualified health professionals seem like they are unqualified…

Haha, let me see if mom will dig through old photos and send me one again. I’ll follow up in a couple weeks!

My dad def doesn’t look like an aged Jake Gyllenhal, though. You would never realize the resemblance unless you saw a photo of him young and beardless, which I hadn’t until that interaction. I have only ever known my dad with a big gray ZZ Topp style beard and bald head.

Reminds of when my mom had business in Augusta, Georgia and ended up in Maine because she doesn’t know how to use the internet to buy plane tickets. When I asked her if she noticed they kept saying MAINE over the loud speaker at the airport with her connecting flight, she thought they meant the “main” Augusta…

I had a photo of a 2004 shirtless Jake G in my dorm room in college. My mom comes to visit one weekend and she saw the poster, looked really surprised and said “where did you get that?” Me: “Um, I don’t know, like in a magazine?” Her: “What magazine?” And this went around in circles for awhile where she was really…

I learned a lot from this post, thank you!

Wonder if GoFundMe should require folks raising funds have a money manager with an Escrow or something when anything over $50k ($100k?) is raised. And if you don’t have one they provide one for you. Because while this is getting a lot of press, how many other fundraisers don’t use the funds as intended? I donate to…

Putting the money into how much spent per day just made my stomach sour. Jesus. I want to know how they are being held accountable to all of the donors who supported the GoFundMe. Can each of those people sue for misuse of funds? Or demand the couple repay them?

Check out the book The Girls Who Went Away, perfectly aligns with your story.

I’m still working off the Freshman Forty (pounds) I gained living solely on Uncrustables and Easy Mac my first year in college. Both were free in bulk at the campus food bank for low income students. More than 15 years later and I can still taste those squishy sugar pockets of doom.

I don’t know why that Tony Hawk complication made me laugh as much as it did. The fact that he’s old and playing on that trivial pursuit/nostalgia part of people's brains, or the fact that he seems over it, or the fact that he's not actually over it because he made over a dozen tweets about it...

This looks forking amazing and I can’t wait. I often go to horror/suspense/thriller films alone because my spouse can’t handle them. Interestingly, there’s usually a handful of other women at the theater alone too. I’ve considered approaching them to try to get a movie club together but that is just like something…

I also stopped watching Freak Show part way through. And Hotel. But Coven and Roanoke I watched all the way on the edge of my seat!

Depending where you live you might be more likely to find an independent provider (non-hospital non-PP) since many PPs don’t provide abortions and will only refer to other PPs, even if they are too far away. The National Abortion Federation and the Abortion Care Network websites have lists of clinics by state.

My favorite karaoke song. I sing both parts alone because no one else knows the song. Yes, everyone hates me at karaoke parties.

My grandmother asked me to take her and we both loved it!

Many people carry their own Narcan in case they OD so someone nearby can administer. Others carry it because they never know when it might help save someone else’s life. You don’t have to have a direct reason to carry Narcan, considering the alarming rate of overdoses flu folks across all SES. If you can get it, it's…

It can. It can also mean his doc prescribed the Narcan in case of misusing the meds. When someone is in pain they can easily keep taking more thinking it isn’t working, or build up a tolerance, or become accustomed to the feeling of being medicated. There are so many possibilities. Many people carry their own Narcan…

I’m trained to administer Narcan and we can only get the vials and needles in my area — the nasal spray is cost prohibitive here and they can’t get as much to give away for free. Not saying that’s the case here as he probably had enough money to carry the spray on him or give doses to those around her perchance it is…
