Here’s a link to Dr. Hern’s clinic for anyone interested in offering support directly to the people who work there, and here’s the National Network of Abortion Funds. The George Tiller Memorial Fund specifically goes to late abortions.

It’s articles like this that make it hard for me to go outside.

The issue is not just that she filmed the video in Africa; the issue is that the video features an all white film crew shooting in Africa during a time when colonialism was going strong and said white people were doing atrocious things to Africans and their country. The editing and story line would lead you to believe…

This will probably get lost in the grays, but it’s worth a shot...

There is no such thing as ghosts. Ghosts are not real. Except...

Unfortunately, for the trendsetters, it can’t be about the results. It’s about the action. You did everything you could do to make the Peace Corp, and the government of Burkina Faso look at your case. It was miserable because it was first.

It will be a little easier for the second, who will make it easier for the…

Waiting at the airport for a flight. There’s a line of about 10 people at the counter that were delayed from an earlier flight. Some dude pushes past the line and screams at the desk agent that, “(He) has to be on this flight! And it has to be first class!” Agent tells him that she can help him but he need to wait in…

This isn’t embarrassing for me, but more for the rest of the school.

Sorry to hear that facts tire you out. I guess hysteria and sensationalism work better for you then? You've certainly made it exceptionally clear that you've got a real thing for ignorance.

I've been praying non-stop for a sign from God if I myself am making a good choice on leaving my abusive boyfriend, at this very moment I'm packing my things hoping for a safe get away while he is at work, I am more scared then I've ever been, scared because I know he will come after me but also scared because I feel…

I am so happy that you got out of this relationship. Thank you for sharing your story, I wish you nothing but happiness in your future.

Has anyone else noticed that Minnie's eyelashes are literally the ONLY THING between "Minnie Mouse" and "Mickey Mouse in drag?" I was reading a Disney book with my kid and noticed this and it's really freaking me out. The people on Buzzfeed did not find this scandalous enough, I'm pitching it to my Jezzie friends.…

Guy #1 is obviously a serial killer, but I kind of like Guy #2. "Even Batman takes shits" is a good pickup line.

Soooo here's a message I just got on OKCupid from a guy in India. Please note that I live in New Jersey, and am not vegan, subservient, blonde, blue-eyed, a gymnast, from Sweden, etc.

I'm in two minds about this. On the one hand, it's great that someone is shining a light on the conditions these women have to work in.
