Oh, Tomato Face. You old fruit/vegetable troll, you.

The funny (i.e. terrifying) thing is that I can’t tell if that’s his real tweet or one of those photoshopped fakes. He is impossible to satirize.

Hmm. A misanthropic nihilist doesn’t have a good sense of humor? Who knew.

I love her so, so much. Pretty sure that I will never ever look at Sean Spicer and not see her now. (Definitely an improvement!)

Good gravy. (Regarding the birth certificate Scarlet Letter.) On the other hand, it may have the opposite effect. I will never forget the afternoon at a friend’s house when her younger brother had just found out about abortion. He loudly proclaimed that he would never speak to a woman again if he knew that she’d…

I also had one over 20 years ago. My sister and brother found out (saw my meds) and labeled me a baby killer. I thought I would be devastated but ... no. I thought they were ridiculous and honestly, their words meant nothing. I realized they didn’t know what the fuck they were talking about.

Sorry, I don’t feel comfortable disclosing the state. My own birth certificate (from a different state) lists the number of live births and miscarriages my mother had prior to me (abortion was not legal when I was born). Do other people not have this information on their bc’s?

What state of hell do you live in that a child’s birth certificate shows the number of abortions the mother has had? I have no words....

I dumped my best friend last weekend and I really don’t know who to talk about it with. It was a long time coming and it’s not permanent- but I did send her a long and nice (I think) message that was essentially “I’m deleting myself out of your life for a while for my own good and we can talk when you’re ready” There…

That is definitely something against the 14th amendment (which was the whole reason we had roe vs wade). Someone needs to get a lawyer up there and sue that shit off the records.

Yeah, I have no idea. My SIL was showing it to me, and she had had a lot of them. I was horrified. Not by the abortions, but by the fact that they were on her kid’s birth certificate. I kept saying, “But, that’s nobody’s business....”

The other weird thing is that the state where I live puts the number of abortions a woman has had on her children’s birth certificate.

I traveled overseas (Paris and London) with a group of students literally less than two weeks after we invaded Iraq. You will certainly be fine, now, if I was then. The only thing we were advised against was wearing anything with the flag on it, but even that was a half-hearted warning.

It’s funny how abortion is such a dirty little secret. I had one over 20 years ago, and I’ve never told anyone. I guess I’m afraid of being judged, or having someone scream at me about “killing my baby.” I’ve never had children, either, so I feel like people might be extra judge-y for some reason.

That picture is beautiful. I’m so sorry for your loss and wish you all the strength.

This afternoon I met two girlfriends for a brunch that ended up lasting for about four hours, and I feel so refreshed. One of them ‘came out’ to me about having had an abortion a few years ago and it was SO nice to bond over our mutual experience and discuss how it needs to be normalized. She told me I’m the only…

I am grey and may forever well be, but I am going to make this post anyway, because my beloved (and i do mean beloved) grandmother died friday morning at the age of 94 and i am packing to go to her hometown to her services.... i was her POA and lots of other stuff blah blah blah but in the aftermath of her dying, a…

Girl come over my house Im watching Dateline and pizza is on its way.

Welp Jezzies, I got dumped yesterday. I’m bummed. We were only seeing each other for a couple months, but I feel that I invested an immense amount of emotional energy into this relationship. When we met he was starting a new job and I really supported and encouraged him. And I was happy to do that! I am starting a new…
