I prefer my all cheese-based political platform.

Soooooo, is it Bennifer 3.0? Or this is just the updated version? 2.1? How long is this thing gonna take to download?

A few years ago I saw someone saying they’ve always believed the Property Brothers are the incest twins from this Dear Prudence letter, and somehow it just fit.

Not bigger than the one they have for each other.

There is no such thing as a soulmate, no person who ‘fits’ with you completely. People have flaws, and people change. The partner whose qualities you love now may evolve overtime, as we all do. The You in twenty years will be far different than the You today, and who’s to say that the relationship won’t sour as a…

The podcast The Longest Shortest Time just aired an episode this week about an OBGYN who performs abortions. She’s like a unicorn. Apparently only 14% of OBGYNs actually perform abortions. Very few ever even study family planning in medical school.

If you are undecided or against abortion, that’s 100% fine. The issue is when you or people like you want push your beliefs and legislate those beliefs to impact all women. That’s the point here. Essentially: mind your own business.

No leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man’s religion or faith.

Yep, another mom here who had an abortion! It’s a long complicated story, but basically I had tons of birth injuries from my first. It was emotionally and physically traumatic, and husband and I couldn’t have sex for a year and a half. By the time we could I was so stressed and worried about sex that neither of us…

Somewhat tangential, but I’m in love with Lawrence Lessig’s idea for Obama’s nomination:

I sort of secretly think the Democrats are leaving him alone (and in some cases, propping him up) because they know nobody really knows about the forced ultrasound stuff, or the cutting voter access stuff, none of which was really covered in any consistent way by the national media. Women’s rights and voting access…

Very true. Even with assisted suicide legal in certain jurisdictions and countries, which can take a lot of the worst, most painful parts leading up to death out of there, there’s still a lot of grief to deal with at the end stages of life. That’s so sad about your dad, and I’m sorry. My dad is turning 64 this year,…

I don’t know. When I was 19, I was dating a 43-year old man. He was weirded out by it, and we broke up numerous times because as he says “he didn’t want me pushing his wheel chair when he got older,” but I wasn’t phased at all. And didn’t feel like there was some horrible power dynamic or anything. I was kind of scary…

My wife swears by marijuana for menstrual pain and nausea. I can’t speak to the former, but it helps whenever I’m feeling nauseous for sure.

Amen! And for all the “I’m 25 and it hasn’t happened yet!” Good gravy. I’m 42, I have enough friends going through vicious custody battles, friends that can’t discuss politics at home with their husbands, friends that envy my hair because “my husband would never let me do that!”. What utter bullshit. I can do whatever…

Of course 1) I’m stupid 2) I once smothered him with a pillow while he slept only to give up when I realized he wasn't going to push me off but rather just continue to lay there like an idiot and die.

I bet it cost more than 1500 dollars to deploy seven U.S. Marshalls. for an hour or two.

I was 8/10 happy with how I looked…pretty good!

Pfft, they lacked imagination.
