You’re welcome to disagree with me any time. Disagreement doesn’t bother me. And you’re absolutely right, not every kid is the same, not every kid is incapable of making decisions at 17, or around that age. Having said that, it is also important to acknowledge that as mature as they can be sometimes, they will not be…

Bush will be the nominee. I promise you. If Hillary (by some MIRACLE) gets the nomination (which i’m afraid she will actually), then Bush will be president. Guaranteed. And he will be president for 8 years.

Half the country’s eyes glazed over when president Obama said “ad hominem” because Latin’s hard and sounds kind of like Spanish.

“disintonxicates”

Right? I love to nap so I am halfway there..

Valley Of the Dolls has my favorite 70’s weight loss treatment (the sleep cure) which was to send one of them to Switzerland and put her to sleep for a month. Totally solid and reasonable plan.

Is the answer amphetamines?

This is the crux of #BlackLivesMatter. The invisibility and vulnerability of black lives in America is the rule, not the exception.

I think the media is finally signal boosting these stories, and the public at large is starting to hold the corrections/police force more accountable for their shit.

You’re probably a troll but I’ll bite to get on a soap box.

I also have no problem with tissue being donated OR sold. It advances science legally. In order to truly care about this sort of thing, you’d have to also reject body donations for scientific research—all of the doctors you’ve ever had have cut up a few…

Planned Parenthood gave me a referral for breast imaging for a lump when my regular doctor wouldn’t.

If you are an Amazon shopper, you can also direct a portion of the money they make from your purchases to your closest PP through Amazon Smiles. DO IT.

If you haven’t had a chance to donate, that’s the best thank you one can give at the moment. I just started donating monthly myself, partially because of this bullshit but also as a thank you for all the women in my life they have helped.

One time when I was really poor and didn’t have health insurance, a PP nurse practitioner gave me antibiotics also appropriate for an upper respiratory infection when I originally went in for a UTI (I was really, really sick). They definitely saved me from having to go to the hospital pre-ACA and incurring impossible…

lol “floss” predates “on fleek” by at least two decades. As in “...B.I.G, be flossin’ jig on the cover of fortune, 5 double O...”.

Go see Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden. Your write-ups always give me chills, even when I’m totally ambivalent towards the artist. So I’m pretty sure a write-up for Billy Joel would make me cry.

I agree. I really appreciated her honesty in all of it. It’s hard, and she’s not afraid to say that it’s hard, but she also loves her child no matter what.

Not a K fan for sure. But yes. I agree that relationships like that need to be taken on a case-by-case situation. In the US we think we have the moral mantle to decide what is right and what is not. We decide to draw the line at 18 when you magically are able to consent to sex and anyone who draws the line at 17 or 16…

I cannot wait until Kylie is 18 so everyone can drop it. I dated guys in their 20’s when I was 17 and never felt like I was being taken advantage of. That girl IS more mature than your average 17 year old. Her own mother married Robert Kardashian at 22 and he was 38. Just seeing the amount of hate and the type of shit…
