Back in 2004 a liberal/libertarian friend bragged that he was going to vote for Bush because he wanted people to see “how bad this country could get” if we put another Republican in power. It makes me sick to think that people torpedo progress because it doesn’t fit their idealized view of the 100% perfect progress.…

I’ve always suspected this too.

Yeah—I refuse to bike on country roads. I grew up in a very rural area. A woman cycling was killed at the top of the hill behind our house a couple years ago—the driver was going too fast and not paying attention for what was just beyond their line of sight. I can’t believe my parents let me bike around on my own as a…

This needs every star.

The nice cop who took my statement when I was hit by a hit and run driver didn’t do fuck all to find my driver. (luckily) I only received a concussion and barely a visible scratch, but even if I had been plowed into roadkill, which would have been the case if I hadn’t seen her-and braked-at the last moment barreling…

How about Twin Peaks?

We’ll find a cabin in the north woods! Seriously, I hope it’s been overstated for your sake—it’s gotta be scary living as a fertile woman in the south right now. Hopefully you’re not in a buggy area.

I live in Wisconsin, which they’re predicting won’t see Zika transmission. *However*, I’m pretty anxious as it is and am considering a late fall pregnancy, just so my chances of encountering a mosquito is lower. These are the things I’d like to discuss with my gyno, if I could ever get a fucking appointment...

The scary thing for me, as someone who wants to get pregnant in the next year, is that transmission routes are less than clear cut and not everyone presents symptoms. A friend of mine recently went to Costa Rica for 2 weeks—jungle tromping and the whole bit. This friend also helps me in the garden. Now if we get bit…

THANK YOU. I’ve been looking for a tool like this. I need to get out of my hometown in the worst way.

Fucking Sheboygan. It's the gd Florida of Wisconsin.

he basically said something about paying these guys peanuts to do the work and then expecting me to sympathize.

I dropped out of grad school and a big factor in my lack of success was a non-existent support group. There’s tons of pressure and, what feels like, little immediate payoff.

holy fuck

We stayed in an AirBnb in Florence for our honeymoon—we were right next to the duomo which meant we were central to all the sites we wanted to see. Plus, we had a kitchen, washing machine, easy walking access to cafes and the market—and most importantly we could afford it. I felt a bit odd staying in someone’s home,…

Yup. I’m on the verge of a internet break myself. Between election fuckery, this fuckery, a long weekend spent with midwest-nice-racist-family-fuckery...count me out for awhile.
