I mean, it’s the least we can do if we’re going to outlaw abortions and provide little to no support for pregnant women and mothers of small children. Seriously. This is actually the LEAST we can do. But it’s a mile better than babies being left in dumpsters.

“...eats 51 bananas a day...”

I remember seeing the Natasha Richardson adaptation but I don’t remember whether it was good.

Seriously, were this any other circumstance, they would be telling women to cover up more in the restroom because it’s in men’s nature to roam the earth sniffing out vaginas like malnourished hyenas.

that voice.

Hahaha. I did wind up mentioning that movie. I loved it.

Agreed. First of all, he earned the right to be grumpy. He was Peter freakin’ O’Toole.

Women say practical things like “but we have stalls in and I don’t care what goes on in the next one, as long as they don’t pee on the seat.”

Interesting how this ad seems to be targeting mostly heterosexual men (and possibly married lesbians, but I doubt it). Ted Cruz doesn’t care what you think if you’re a woman, because in that case you should probably leave the politics to the men. Don’t worry, we’ll look for you....

$40,000 to spend on yarn and cats, aka THE DREAM.

And as if these conservative anti-choicers give two shits about minorities in ANY OTHER CONTEXT.

I’d love to see these numbers side-by-side with statistics around access to sex ed and birth control. Are women of color getting more abortions because they are more likely to have an unwanted pregnancy because they are less likely to have the tools to prevent unwanted pregnancy?

If legislators care SO DAMN MUCH about black and brown babies, they could, you know, address the poverty, lack of educational opportunity, lack of parental leave and affordable childcare options, shitty sex ed and access to contraception and reproductive care, and myriad other factors that actually influence into…

An Elle rep says the mag switched the format of the copy online (it now says to buy the issue for full credits) for the sake of “user experience.”

it’s funny how this “realism” never applies the other way.

I can’t believe how many people claim indigenous ancestry on the basis of a single facial feature and family tall tales.

continuing your point...“I want them to live in a world where they have access to prenatal care for wanted pregnancies so they have healthy babies and paid leave so they can care for their children in their first months of life. I want them to have affordable day care once they return to work.

Anna, please don’t taker what is aid personal, it wasn’t meant to come off that way. I am frusturated that rather than focus on what this man has said he would do should he become president, they’ve choosen to fight at his level and that is where the coverage is. Sorry, I don’t care about who posted the damm twitter…

No. Your friends are not the people to help you out of a disease. Professionals are. I can’t help you figure out your insulin or your psych meds or your rehab or your chemo. Once you decide that you’re going to get professional help, I, as a friend, can support you. That’s a valuable role. But if you are in denial…

Mental illness is an illness. And you have peaks and valleys. And there are times when your behavior isn't the person you'd like to be.
