I’m gonna miss you guys!
So this weekend, I exploded a burrito in the microwave,* dropped the weights on my chest,** and apparently might have given myself pinkeye.*** Go me! *This was actually kind of cool, except for the part where I had to scrape the burrito innards off of the walls and ceiling of the microwave, and then pray [...]

Zuzu’s post received a few unpleasant responses, to the effect that she’s wrong to give up her animals rather than attempt to take them to the Maple Leaf State. That she shouldn’t offer them up to a good home in their original stomping grounds, even. She’s not talking about making them into casserole. (I suggested [...]

Qgrrl, in comments on Amp’s thread about how, ceteris paribus (this is important!), he’d vote for a woman candidate over her otherwise indistinguishable male counterpart: I don’t quite know where to begin. Let me first say that I find it offensive that men would suggest which candidates women (feminists) should vote for based soley on [...]

Anti-choice politics of limiting birth control cause more abortions than they prevent. This should be obvious, and one woman demonstrates it here. General idea is this: Busy married couple with two kids find some private time, and they have sex. In the heat of the moment, woman forgets to insert her diaphragm. Woman does not [...]

A must-read op/ed in the LA Times from a doctor who treated one of the first recognized AIDS patients in the United States, and was the first to publish his findings. His stories are heart-wrenching, and his passion obvious. I’m heartened to know that, at the very least, we have people like Michael Gottlieb on [...]

Does anyone else think it’s sad (and infuriating, and disgusting) that the president thinks that the best way to reach religious voters is through scapegoating gays and lesbians? A party that sets its platform squarely on hate and discrimination is, I hope, a party that will soon find itself without many followers. But I’m not [...]

I’m excited for the World Cup, if only because all my TV channels here are in Greek, and sports are the only thing I like to watch because you don’t have to understand what they’re saying. But apparently some football fans have been on their worst behavior lately. As he left the soccer field after [...]

Abortion is presenting quite an issue to pro-choice and anti-choice politicians like. Now that South Dakota has banned abortion, pro-choicers are understandably panicking, and anti-choicers have a wrench thrown in their strategy of slowly chipping away at abortion rights. In many state races, it remains uncertain who will benefit from the sudden focus on abortion [...]

Watch out, middle-aged men: They’re gonna getcha. They are identifiable not by their short skirts or heavy make-up but by their unflinching devotion to their male bosses. They will work late for them, pick up their dry cleaning and even buy birthday presents for their relatives. They are single women who, stuck in their search [...]

And I’m not going to answer it, but I wanted to ask all of you: What’s the least attractive “fantasy” component you can possibly think of? Are you profoundly lactose intolerant (or an ultra-militant vegan), so much so that the thought of licking whip cream off of anything makes you ill? Is your horrible ex [...]
