First time I ever saw a Confederate flag was on a hilltowner’s belt buckle.

The ACA has a long-game in which premiums for the folks in the middle, although skyrocketing in the short-term, would lower in a few years. Also, for everyone shouting about single-payer, I agree with you in theory, but we’ve seen how it plays out in the US via the VA. Which is to say, there is great potential, but…

All I know is that every great Tinder date I’ve ever been on was preceded by a long conversation about how to spell my name.

Ugh, kids are the best! That explanation slightly backfired with me when I was a kiddo. I became certain that if any boy gave me any kind of seed I would become pregnant. I began anxiously watching the chain of custody of my poppy-seed bagel at the deli, and ultimately gave up on seeds for a bit. Getting pregnant at 5…

Kudos to you for the simplicity of your response! There’s really no reason for 3.5 year olds to receive any kind sex ed - even if they nod and smile, their beautiful little brains puzzle-piece that info together in spectacularly strange ways. 

Honest question: Can someone explain to me how this is constitutional? Doesn’t this infringe upon our rights?

It will never stop being weird to me that we measure a fetus’ life by the heartbeat and not by the development of the nervous system. If everyone had a better understanding of what life would look like without the billions of neurons developed in the second and third trimesters, I would hope that we’d be coming up…

Lamar is looking GOOD post-stroke. That work is harder than most people imagine. Good for him.

Why can’t these people do their effing homework?!

Just here to say I’m so glad this interview happened. A lot of folks have been using this photo to send their own messages - some of them solid, some of them less so. It’s important to hear her voice and her story.

All I know is that I was trapped in the middle of Pershing Square for 45 minutes and all the woohoo’s became complete boohoo’s and it was the first time I’ve felt unsafe at a protest. I know this is in part due to the organizers and the city underestimating the crowd size, but, c’mon. Isn’t the whole point of this…

There was a period of time in which it was called the Million Women’s March. I don’t love the tone of this article, but it spells it out:

You’re not...wrong. Ha. It’s more about the approach. That is, are you trying to assert your rightness or are you trying to get people on your side? The content likely won’t change, but your language will.

Oh whoops, wasn’t supposed to feed you. My bad.

Nah, just itching to be provocative. Apparently it works.

Yes, yes, yes. There is such a big difference between using the Women’s March as an opportunity to encourage people to get more involved in BLM and DAPL and then just guilt-tripping people. One tends to be insanely more effective.

There’s a big difference between infighting and bettering ourselves. I hold the white organizers responsible for the infighting. They were tone-deaf and ignorant in some of their choices (ahem, “Million Women March”) and instead of publicly acknowledging that they made a dumb choice and thanking WOC for keeping them…

Ugh, how about “I am staying home with the baby because that’s just something that happens after you jerk off into someone’s uterus.”

There were a lot of issues with the marches - most significant among them being that many WOC and LGBTQ folks were excluded both in terms of organizing and in terms of symbolism.

A “pinprick” of humor is a vast overstatement.
