I’ve seen my husband through two kidney stones. And he’s seen me through labour. I think we’re just about even. I’m going to call dibs on mine being the most painful, but still, I think kidney stones are right up there and anyone going through that has my sympathy!

I would include Dr Tiller’s funeral program and news footage of his murder by anti choice terrorists.

That’s right. My mom always told us about how my grandmother was always whisked right back when she went in an ambulance. So when I had extreme pain in my abdomen I thought I was dying. Called 911 and got emergency transport..straight to the waiting room. Ended up being my first kidney stone. I thought I was dying. It…

They are never, ever, ever going to get it.

still not as good as the under-rated 2001 masterpiece

9/10 Would bang if facing human extinction event.

Also this picture.

I really want to admit that I would let Ben Affleck do all of the things to me in that snowy sweater with all the grey hair he’s letting into his life, but I don’t want to be shamed. *sweats nervously*

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE ALICE AND KEV!

While this made me laugh (and hope it becomes an ongoing series), it reminded me of the great blog Alice and Kev from a few years back that explored what happens with homeless sims in Sims 3 done by a game designer just to see what happens. It’s pretty interesting and ends up being a compelling story.

Maybe not, but JUST ONCE I would have liked to see the Dems take a principled stand and stick to their guns. Look at all the obstructionism and petulance around the SCOTUS nomination...say what you will about the GOP (and trust me, I have plenty to say), but they drew a line in the sand, refused to budge, and it…

HAIL THE GUARDIANS OF THE WATCHTOWERS OF THE NORTH

Celeste Bradley! Sometimes the ‘interconnectedness’ can get a bit much, but her Worthington Series has been super fun. Maya Rodale and Caroline Linden are also fantastic.

Sarah MacLean, so much Sarah MacLean!

I have a friend from Minnesota whose son is named “Axel,” but it’s a family name, they’re Scandinavian, and they live in Minnesota, so it’s cool.

Rice?! Geez. He wins the shitty body award. That’s fucking awful.

Yeah, after fighting Lyme disease for 2 years and ruining my intestines with antibiotics, I don’t need friends who are giggling at me or consider me a pain in the ass. Don’t invite people if you’re not happy to have them there. By the way it’s not always allergies, sometimes it’s FODMAP which is malabsorption and can…

Gaston’s neck is not thick enough.

I will look for this, it sounds interesting.
