This blog was the best. I loved all the writers, all of the articles, and it was the highlight of my day. Especially Eloise, she is a treasure. <3

Glad everything worked out for you, and I respect your personal reproductive choices.

I often find that it is the lay midwifes (not CNMs) who say “we’ve always done it this way” and ignore scientific knowledge, including published scientific studies that midwives themselves produced. But I live Oregon, where anyone can hang out a shingle and call themselves a midwife. I hope it’s better in other states.

My self care is shopping with my monthly Retail Therapy Budget. I set aside the amount I used to pay my therapists (who declared me extremely sane and kicked me out) and I drop it on some nice things for myself and others. The cosmetics counter lady at my local department store knows me by name and gives me samples to…

I am reading “Devil in the White City” right now, and it is chilling. H.H. Holmes is the ultimate nightmare monster.

I’m so glad someone else remembers these! My grandparents had a “bachelor cabin” on their farm that my Grandpa, uncles, and their friends would use on occasion. My parents and I lived in there for a couple years. I was in 1st grade (late 1980s). I was home sick one day and went through old boxes in the closet, and I…

Bran is going to blow your mind. You take that back.

Hey now. What did queefs ever do to you? This bro dude is clearly a cheeto-flavored dingleberry. Because bro.

But really, this is about ethics in marine safety journalism...

My Glossybox had a couple of different things in it - a Vichy night cream, and a solid perfume that I am raving about. It is inexpensive ($25!) so I plan to buy another one.

I hear ya. I read that Texas raided Planned Parenthood for patient and employee records this morning, so I started drinking at lunch.

When you whip out your buddy jesus, all bets are off!

Clearly you didn’t begin to wonder, because anyone with a conscience wouldn’t go around referring to people with TBI as idiots. I hope that you have fun being a self-righteous asshole on the internet and throwing people with TBI under the bus... or are you advocating for them? I can’t tell. I bow before your great…

Oh but I have brain damage. I can’t be held responsible for my words. :-/

But please, continue to be a rape apologist. Rape culture is already a part of the zeitgeist. You are doing a bang-up job at keeping it alive.
