I DO THESE THINGS SO THAT I DO NOT HAVE TO LEARN CSS, PEOPLE!

Things your toddler will do when you’re injured and can’t stop him:

•Take all the books off your shelves.

•Take all his puzzles off the rack.

•Take all the pieces out of the puzzles.

Farewell, Aragog, king of arachnids, whose long and faithful friendship those who knew you won’t forget!

One of the important parts of parenting small children is modeling behavior — that is, acting like you’re not as screwed up as you are so your kids don’t grow up to be screwed up like you are.  Everyone generally flubs this one here and there.  Among my…

When I was in middle school, my mom

When I was in middle school, my mom received a delightful invitation one day from a family friend.  Richard Lee was going to be consulting on a case for the Buffalo Zoo; there was a newborn giraffe who had something wrong with one of its four stomachs…

Feed Your Head

As some of you who know me well have probably ascertained, I am and will continue to be in the thrall of everyone’s favorite boogeyman lobbying group, big PHARMA. Yup, they make more money by perpetuating the absolutely miserable state of American health.…

Yes, I did finally see a rheumatologist, although my route there was almost comically circuitous.  You see, when I was at the beginning of my pregnancy with D, I developed a rash. Nothing excruciatingly itchy or horribly disfiguring, but these spots…

I hurt. A lot. Like, a lot of the time. And it’s one of those things that sneaks up on you, because your back goes out or your knee starts doing something wonky or your head just starts to feel, on the regular, like someone has taken an orthodontic rubber…

Reasons why I should start a blog:

1) Clearly, professional blogger is the perfect job for me. Total no-brainer. Overall I would consider myself an agnostic, at most a believer in a watchmaker god or maybe, to be slightly more generous, an absentee-dad…

A Voice for Men = A Voice for Rape Apologist Misogynists (who also whine a lot)

I don’t think what irks me about this statement is that it assumes women can’t handle the consequences of making their own decisions (which is a classic I’m sure we’ve all heard,) or that it parodies an actual rape awareness campaign (that decreased sexual assault in Vancouver by 10%.)
What’s really bugging me is that this, when combined with the abysmal understanding of consent in our society, is really just men who are upset that they don’t get to define consent for the people they want to fuck.
AVFM isn’t even concerned for men falsely accused of rape - they’re just straight up worried that men can be accused of rape.

And why did Spiderman have to get brought into this? MRAs fucking shit up left and right

I have had sex I regretted, and I’ve been raped. Believe me, you know the difference.

Or it could be the next school shooter or Adolf Hitler. 

If only pro-choice people would “think about it”! That would solve everything! They have obviously never “thought about it” before!

Are we really using “It could be the next Justin Bieber” as a reason to NOT get an abortion?
