So in 2009 when I got laid off, had no money, lost health insurance and was ready to declare bankruptcy I still had to pay Sallie Mae even after they got bailed out with my tax dollars for causing the shitstorm that led to me getting laid off in the first place.

But god forbid we have affordable healthcare.

The shooting was justified.

This man is a hero. The courage it must take to be an outspoken and highly-visible abortion provider in this day and age, when you have seen your colleagues killed, and in the face of rabid anti-choice activists and legislation, is tremendous. I fervently wish for his continued safety.

Exactly. Homeless people don’t get the opportunity to be $8 billion in debt. That level of debt is a twisted sort of privilege in and of itself. It is not poverty.

The doctor was actually a 10 year-old girl in leggings.

Good to know, thanks! Glad it went so well for your family member!

The thing that’s so crazy is he DOESN’T have his head up his ass about this stuff. I work for a repro health org and I’m a sex educator and talk about this shit constantly with him and he is very much down with the cause. I was fucking BAFFLED. He has literally no excuse. It was especially tone deaf because he…

When people hear I had cancer, they often want to tell me about their pre-cancerous cell scares. I don’t give a fuck. It was probably scary and required a medical procedure that is over.

He said this with a straight face to his feminist girlfriend who has been through two IUD insertions complete with cervical…

It’s almost like invasive probing of your body by medical professionals sucks. Good thing he doesn’t have to do that yearly!

Didn’t anyone know the Heimlich Maneuver? 

Nice!! And hell, I think with anonymous rando’s like us, the search algorithms give up after about the first picture and just start throwing random shit out there.

From just the name I’d probably assume it was a place where animals could safely get abortions, but that’s just me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Who watches the Watchmen?

Jeff Sessions on police reform: “It is not the responsibility of the federal government to manage non-federal law enforcement agencies.”

Unless it’s related to ICE or Marijuana.

It’s funny. I never get these types of comments when I write about the disproportionate impact of enviro policy on coal workers and the rural poor in WV or MT. What is it about centering people of color that reads as a distraction (“pollution”) to some commenters? Do you care less about pollution having read this,…
