Well, there’s a big, fat wake-up call to anyone who doesn’t believe rape is a tool of war or that access to and control over one’s own reproductive care (including abortion) is a human right.

“Such cute babies. I’ll have two with my buttered scones for tea.”

About seven years ago I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I was lucky in that it was fairly isolated so they just chopped that sucker out, but I was devastated by the treatments. Just.. so so sick. An old friend of mine (we'd shared a really shitty apt in NYC in my early 20s and during this time she and I had had a…

My (now ex) fiancé and I had a somewhat long-distance relationship. I worked an a city 3 hours from the small town we lived in, so I would stay with friends or my parents while I worked my 4 days on, and go home on my days off. Things were never "good" when I was at home, but anyone can tolerate each other for 4-5…

Whatever. Fuck these people and their fucking gadgets. I'm not here to throw shade on you if fitness isn't your thing. So move along if you watch HoC while eating a tub of tres leches cake. Life is short, I'm glad you found your way to forget we are all headed to the grave.

LETS GET FISHICAL, FISHICAL

if religion got out of the business of politics and morality-legislation (while being tax-free) i would be more on board with this... but the religious influence politics and make policies based on their religion that affect us all - as a non-believer, i don't tolerate that.

I absolutely do not condone that religion in any way. Nope. It's abuse.

That is assuming your baby is old enough for the vaccinations the ignorant parents didn't give their kids in the waiting room. When I was an assistant district attorney waaaaaay before I had kids, a lady came up to me asking for a continuance/postponement of her case because she had measles. I let her go immediately…

Good on you. These child-endangering willfully-ignorant dolts deserve all they shame they've brought on themselves.

What is next?

So my list on how to live to be over a hundred so far consists of the following:

Kirsten Gillibrand (in the Senate) and Rosa DeLauro (in the House) have introduced the FAMILY Act (the Family and Medical Insurance Leave Act). If passed, it would provide up to 12 weeks per year of paid medical leave (including parental leave) at 66% of a worker's salary. I wrote my representatives urging them to…

for all but the already well-off, unpaid maternity leave is the equivalent of no maternity leave at all. in most 2-paycheck families, you need both checks. it's the same reason why hourly workers drag themselves to work when they are sick.

As a two time Ironman finisher and decent open water swimmer, resident of Miami and a sailor, I don't necessarily call bullshit but I call major embellishment. Ever tried swimming in from 2 miles off shore in Miami during the middle of the day? You think it's easy because you can see land - it's way harder than you…

And it's pretty obvious you didn't even bother to Google me. Grew up in South Florida (Broward and Palm Beach counties). Worked at the Miami Herald for seven and a half years. Been on enough boats to know to wear a life jacket in case stuff like this happens. Spent plenty of nights on the phone with the U.S. Coast…

My sorority pledge class had two other women with my same first name. I turned out OK. Minus being a size 6 and being referred to as "the big [first name]" for four years.

:( my name is Violet and I am 26. I was named after my great grandmother so all these poser babies need to back off :(
