I think we were just too young to know. I remember him giving this crazy bullshit answer about trans women who are lesbians and how they have a pathological need to reject masculinity or something. At the time I knew nothing about trans folks and it still stuck out to me as a bullshit answer that I remember it almost…

I did! I’ve been un-greyed on Jezebel for a while, but not the subs, so I’m guessing that’s what it is. I’m more excited than I should be to get to post on The Slot now.

Living together is awesome*. Hands down has been the happiest time of my life.

Kindara is a little more complicated, but I’ve found it to be very accurate. I’ve been using it for a few months now and its predicted “peak” day is always the day I have a little ovulation spotting. I’ll be TTC for the first time this cycle, so we’ll see.

But wherever there’s causation, you also find correlation. Therefore correlation = causation because math!

Also, they used an anti-gay slur if the screen shots of the texts are to be believed. At that point I feel just fine about what he did.

When I was younger, I often wished for that. I don’t want to not be a woman, but sometimes I’d like to be a dude for a minute. As I’ve gotten older, I don't feel that way nearly as often, but I'd still jump at the chance to be a guy for a week.

My husband and I are on our honeymoon. Istanbul was our last stop, have tickets for tomorrow. I'm a little gobsmacked by the news. It's just heartbreaking

If this is meant to be safe space, that’s one thing, but it’s difficult for me to imagine that if they’re wanting this to be a business that they wouldn’t make it inclusive. The site doesn’t seem to specify. (I should also add that I’m black)

I think it would be great for you to go to Noirbnb. Giving actual monetary support to this is probably the best way to get off the ground. I’m sure there are ways in which it might be complicated, but it seems to me that switching over is an example of great allyship.

Thank you! I knew that Zika originated in Uganda, but I didn’t realize it was a different strain entirely.

Good to know. Just got my yellow fever vaccine on Friday.

I’d vote for a permanent stadium somewhere. I know everyone would fight about where, but it would be such a better solution than spending billions on new construction every few years.

Yeah, it’s nuts. My (almost) husband and I are going to be in Uganda for a day before continuing on to Tanzania for our honeymoon, and the travel nurse told me not to try to get pregnant for 6 months even though there is no current outbreak of Zika in Uganda. We were planning on trying starting in September which…

I grew up very religious and am now, quite happily, atheist. One of the things that made it hard to give up Christianity was the idea that I would have less community, but the truth is that now I have more people in my life who are true friends and a wider support system than before. I never quite fit in at any…

Just bought my dress from modcloth. It’s not super fancy, but it’s perfect for a little SF City Hall wedding :)

I’m buying a house! The offer was accepted last night. Our offer was the same price/terms as another, but the sellers went with me and science guy because they wanted to give the house to a young family. I'm completely over the moon. (Also stressed and terrified)

This is true and explains a lot. I loved those things as a kid...
