I’m listening to Truth and Lies right now and I’m right in the middle of the episode (5) which explains Wexler’s background and how he came to be Epstein’s sole “client”.  I’m riveted by this podcast; my dogs have never been walked so much.

I volunteer as a clinic escort in my city and there are about 4 different groups of us now who have decided to start leafletting outside CPCs, particularly during the “40 Days of Life” campaigns (which I feel like are non-stop, all the time). We’re trying to turn the tables on the antis, except we use facts, respect…

Same here, except I escort for a handful of clinics in the north. Have you noticed the “regulars” getting more and more aggressive? One routinely makes posters that has a blown up picture of one of our escorts placed next to a picture of Hitler. And the homeschoolers - big eyeroll. 

The “adult child of an alcoholic co-dependency syndrome” - I know it well and your description of its curse but also the possible recovery from it was spot-on. It’s not my job to make sure everyone is “o.k.” or the mood of the room isn’t uncomfortable, and my self-worth isn’t dependent on my assuming this role. God,…

This veteran clinic escort thanks you from the bottom of my heart. 

I’m 100% here for that.  I think it’s the only way the show continues. 

My college roommate and I must have watched “About Last Night” 75 times - easy.  I’ve always liked her as an actress but really loved her in that movie. 

Bingo. As the youngest of 10 birthed by the Queen of Narcissism herself, I’m almost embarrassed that I didn’t really understand that until I was in my 30s. I never understood why my mom’s greatest form of entertainment was using her kids to stir the pot.  *45 is one sick, twisted ghoul (not that I feel bad for any of…

My sentiments EXACTLY. LVP - eh. I was actually glad about it. But Bethenny is not only the queen bee but she’s the only one who can make me howl with her one-liners. I’m super sad about it. I feel like I don’t ask for much in life, and my love of solid reality TV escape is one thing that really keeps me going and…

Oh, without a doubt it’s the religious nonsense. A full 100% of the loons who show up at clinics every single week are there with fellow congregants from their respective churches and come armed with rosaries (for now it’s rosaries, anyway...) and they pray when they aren’t harassing and accosting women and escorts.…

This picture is going to haunt me for days.

A squirrels’ nest fell from the ceiling onto my bed once and I don’t particularly mind squirrels and I freaked the fuck out. It was too much reality. I had been hearing scratching noises in my ceiling for about a year and the sound kept getting closer and closer to the center of the room. I told my then-husband that I…

“the Pro Life crowd doesn’t want to take away woman’s rights.”

I’ve been divorced since 2006 and I’m drumming my fingers on the table every single day waiting until my youngest finishes HS and moves out. There’s NO WAY I would live with a man again in the (increasingly) unlikely event that the opportunity arises.  I just got my own bathroom for the first time in my life 2 years…

This drives me INSANE. We sit back and allow the antis to a) craft the language everyone is using when discussing abortion rights; and b) control the whole narrative around what should be up for discussion/debate (which is nothing, in my opinion). It makes me want to scream when a pro-choice candidate or talking head…

I’m totally rewatching it and I thought maybe I had a problem because I can’t get the show out of my head! Glad to hear there are other Chernobyl Weirdos out there.  What a great f’ing show.

The fight for abortion rights is a question of language as much as it is about laws.

Moira is a treasure.  I didn’t think it was possible for her to get any better after “Best in Show” but damned if she doesn’t get more brilliant with each passing year.  Love her and LOVE Moira. 

Surf camp in Costa Rica!  See info I accidentally posted to Emily. 

EDIT: Meant for LadyoftheDay - sorry! I went to surf camp in Costa Rica and it was AMAZING. The camp (there are several there and all have similar procedures) picks up you and other campers at the airport and takes you to the camp. From there, you end up meeting people really quickly (if you want) and it was probably…
