PRO-CHOICER of the day (#3 of 6): Rep. Harold...
keepyourboehneroutofmyuterus:
State Rep. Harold Dutton, D-Houston, offered an amendment that would, in the event that a woman decided to carry her child to term after undergoing a sonogram as required by the bill, require the state to pay for that child’s college tuition. When that didn’t work, Dutton proposed that the state pay for the child’s health care until age 18. That failed,...

What was your favorite toy as a child? Do you...
It should not come as a surprise that I was a huge Hello Kitty fan as a child :P We had cats growing up, so I guess that was sort of a natural transition…
As an adult, I’m still a Hello Kitty fan. And a cat fan. I don’t think I’ve changed much since my “child” days…

One Day
genderbitch:
A boy met a girl.
She seemed very familiar,
not to the point of being strange or creepy.
She did like to stare at him,
Which he found a bit odd.
But it wasn’t a serious problem.
The boy spoke to the girl.
“You’ve been watching me for a while now.”
She smiled and nodded,
“of course. For a very long time.”
He shrugged, pondered and moved on.
The boy enjoyed the company of...

HERES SOME FUN "PRO-LIFE" TSHIRT
pixyled:
Here’s the first one I’m going to write about. This one is completely laughable. Given the track record for the pro-life movement, the LAST thing they really want yo to do is educate yourself. Because if you know, yknow, ACTUAL FACTS about abortion instead of just emotional arguments, you’ll most likely be pro-choice. Here’s another one. “Given a choice, they’d want a chance.” Now,...

It applies to feminism, to cis people, to white people (like myself), to abled people, to thin privileged people, to liberal and progressive movements, to political parties, to members of whatever little group you’re in (newspaper, activist community), etc etc...

Oh, how fun!!!
(A thousand pounds… that’s like TWO thousand US dollars, right?) Well, since you’re giving me pounds, I’d have to go to Europe to spend them! :P
Freddy is a wine snob (but in a good way), and a Bordeaux aficionado. I just like France, and would love a chance to show off my French. I’d spend the money on a trip to Bordeaux, where Freddy could tour...

Men are scared of menstruation? Really?
What, do they think it’s contagious? (Or do you just hang out with really ignorant, immature men?)

– From this article. So, the guy responsible for this is a republican and probably pro-life cause…well…aren’t they always? This goes to show what pro-lifers have constantly denied: that once a fetus is born they’re on their own and pro-lifers couldn’t give a shit.

It’s coming! I have a blog post I’ve written in my head several times, but haven’t sat at the computer to type. I was going to do it yesterday, but I got sidetracked responding to another post… and then — oh, look! Something shiny!

(Sorry it’s taken SO LONG to answer… I’ve been taking a break from Teh Internetz…)
My mom is a USian, who went to Chile on a study abroad program. There she met my dad, a Chilean, and she decided to stay and marry him.
We were all born in Chile (in Santiago, the capital) and lived there until 1991, after they separated (my mom’s family is all here in the US, so we...

Did you leave the Catholic church before or after...
I left the Catholuic Church a long, long time ago.
Officially, I guess I’d have to say it was when I started high school, here in the US, and we started attending a Lutheran church, where I got involved with the youth group (and all that “God LOVES you” stuff finally made sense… because the pastor talked about God’s love, not how worthless I was because I was a...

The other day, a male friend of mine was at the grocery store in the check out line. He was not feeling particularly happy, and, I guess, was frowning a little. A dude in line behind him tapped him on his shoulder to get his attention and when he turned around, the dude said, in a bright voice, “You dropped something,” and was pointing to the floor. My male...
