Oh I feel you. I spent most of my life being accused of anorexia. Vertebrae countable etc. and when I hit 33ish I put on 30 pounds. So now I have boobs, yay, and hips, and I’m still fairly small. But sometimes I look in the mirror and I see this incredibly distorted image. And I feel fat and gross and almost don’t…

I don’t know what your goal is after med school, but trained abortion providers are rare, even rarer are the ones who can safely perform late pregnancy terminations. And that is a needed service. I believe it was George Tiller who was doing the vast amount of training for late term issues before his murder.
The privilege of the unraped. Keep that in mind.
Thanksgiving dinner three years ago. I sat next to Buckley Carlson, brother of Tucker. Yes. I feel like this is horror story enough.
And you don’t appear to be much brighter now.
Yeah pharmacists are also the same set of geniuses that have refused to provide Plan B because they are anti-abortion. Please note, Plan B is not and never has been an abortion pill. It’s the same stuff as birth control pills, just stronger. It’s really fucking scary to me that people whose job it is to know the…
Yeah. I’m sure. Well done “fellow woman.”
In that it texts people that you are in danger, yes. But these questions are irrelevant. Some peopl will use it and love it, and some people won't. No different than mace, or pepper spray, or a heavy flashlight, or your keys between your fingers. And why you think people only get harassed on busy streets with open…
There are al sorts of ways to be assaulted that stop short of rape. Being followed and harassed is incredibly common.
Maybe I’m just not part of the right subset of stoners but none of these things is appealing. I would thank the giver graciously and in about five years would find them in the back of the closet.
What did you expect from lonely old pole cats?
I have made an effort to preserve my hearing, so I can hear her consonants just fine. Turn your fucking ear buds down and maybe you could too.
Right here, this is exactly why representation matters. I’m sorry that you don’t get see your lived experience represented. We just have to keep educating people and raising children in a way that preserves their general acceptance of others. 3 year olds don't care what color you are, or who you love, or how you…
Hazel appears in a great many of the expanded universe stories and books, she and Maureen are essentially Virginia Heinlein.
Podkayne! While I dislike the theme of loss of mother/ing leads to sociopathy, I love her. If I’ve got my dates right, she is only female lead in his early work. He did have awesome beefy lady side characters in some of the early YA stuff though. Grandma Hazel in The Rolling Stones, for example.
What an honor for me to be the first person on the planet to introduce you to similes. It’s when you use “like” or “as” to draw parallels between two things. It’s a really great way to communicate.
Um yes it would. It's in reference to having a boarder not a retiree.
Not sure if you are serious, but in Italy, a pensione is like a bed & breakfast. Hat tip to Merchant-Ivory films for teaching me that.
This is a really great framing of the issue.
