$60,000 to get 44 fucking plants. That is insane, and if I lived in MA I would be calling my state/federal representatives and complaining about the gross misuse of federal funds. This has effectively helped absolutely no one, and violated the privacy of thousands of people.

It’s kind of lukewarm news I think. My understanding is that this law would have just transitioned their abortion laws from “bad” to “ridiculous”. They’re still bad.

The restrictions just make me so angry. My grandma had many (coathanger) abortions in the PZPR era. Knowing how poor they were, and how hard my mother’s childhood was, I can’t imagine them having more children to feed. How is that pro-life? It makes me both livid and devastated that women still have to go through that…

So proud that my cousins and aunts protested this horrible law. I would have marched with them, but I was on a plane that day. It makes me absolutely livid that “pro-life” people from abroad are supporting this total ban. There’s nothing “pro-life” about letting a woman die if an abortion would save her life. There is…

We won a battle, but not a war. There will be another abortion law project. This one won’t ban abortion completely or punish women, but it will still make current law even more restricted. And it might pass, because what PiS (the ruling party) proposes, PiS makes happen.

Not only is this awesome news but that picture is incredibly moving.

Lady Gaga has been spotted in Cabo where perhaps she’ll meet an Alejandro.

The decision reportedly has nothing to do with Dr. Luke’s alleged sexual abuse towards Kesha

Which is ridiculous. I started reading jezebel for the pieces by Erin Gloria Ryan, specifically those on women’s rights that weren’t covered elsewhere. Now she’s gone and jez wants to be the Hairpin with Rookie’s audience. Do not care for.

How it actually went:

Honeycomb story doesn’t really sound that funny if your native language is Russian. There is, in fact, ‘ice cream with no flavor’, it’s probably the most common kind sold everywhere. Literally it would sound like ‘ice cream made of cream’ but actual translation is ‘vanilla ice cream’. They do, in fact, taste the same.

Fuck Gawker for not keeping this much-needed break from reality around.

Pinkham, this one’s for you:

Pinkham, I am not going to lie, yours was a blog I had looked forward to commenting on each week, and during the typical Monday struggles of a mundane office job your posts brightened my mornings. It was your blog where a comment of mine reached over 200 stars for the first time, and I had looked forward to the day I…

“Was that so hard?!”
