Love
I felt fine all day, until just before dinner, my stomach suddenly hurt. I popped a couple of pills for various ailments, but it just got worse and worse. A few minutes ago I threw up so hard I peed. Avery ran in, held my hair back, and wiped my pee up, without a second thought.
I’m not the sort of person who says this, but I don’t know how else to express how I feel:
I am blessed.

For my girl, on her birthday.
aedison:
We still argue over who kissed who first. I don’t know if it’s because you believe your story to be correct, or if you just don’t want the story of us to begin with you as aggressor. All I know is that my side is the right one, and your stubborn refusal to see that is both charming and irritating.
Somehow in the eight hours I’d been on the plane from England the nice folks at United...

Easy video-sharing service?
Where I can upload directly from my iPod Touch/Droid Incredible? Just short vids of the babies, so their mom can see them while at work.

Avery and I just did something incredibly gross.

It tasted like Dr. Pepper.
For the record, she SPAT in my MOUTH.
Incorrect; I worked up a ball of spit in my mouth and pushed it into hers when we kissed. And she, knowing how horrific it was, did it back to me. And made me swallow it. AND HER SPIT TASTED LIKE DR. PEPPER.
I did spit in her mouth once though, and it was hilarious.

Stand Up For Women's Health →
Right wing extremists are actively trying to deny family planning and other types of reproductive health care to women all over America.
We’re meeting in Foley Square in New York City on February 26 to rally for women’s health. We’re also collecting stories and sharing them here of just why family planning funding is so important.
It’s looking like a lot of people up...

In any discussion of draconian anti-choice policies that apply pre-viability, the probability of an anti-choice apologist using non-sequiturs about (already illegal) post-viability abortions in order to evade the underlying issue approaches 1.
Addendum: whether it’s in blog comment sections or the New York Times op-ed page, the probability that anti-choicers will have no idea what the holdings...

Everyone please click here and type in “you should put some Gold Bond on your nipple now, too, to properly commiserate with Abby, who you love, and who is in deep mentholated discomfort”.
Thank you.

Don't ever get Gold Bond on your nipple.

Spiritual path.
Jesus: Dude, you have to stop interrupting me when I'm preaching to the people.
Judas: But you keep getting everything wrong! Earlier you spent forty-five minutes discussing how God made Moses live in the belly of a whale!
Jesus: Screw you, I'm the expert on this shit. I practically wrote the damn Bible.
Judas: You don't know a thing. I bet you thirty pieces of silver you can't name the books of the Torah.
Jesus: Sure I can. Genesis. Exodus. New Moon. Eclipse... And... Genesis, again.
Judas: Frankly, I'm amazed you got the first two. Now pay up.
Jesus: To live the spiritual life, you must forsake money, Judas.
Judas: Give. Me. The thirty. Pieces. Of silver.
Jesus: I don't have it, and I wouldn't give it to you if I did.
Judas: I'm getting that money, asshole.
Jesus: Sure, over my dead body!

International Relations professor: When you think about Sweden, what do you think about?
Me: I don't really think about Sweden that much.
IR prof: Peaceful country, buxom blondes, vikings, IKEA, that's right.

You should only make art for yourself.
So, yesterday my illness became a problem again (ugh, that’s clumsy — when is an illness not a problem?) and I had to choose, basically, between killing myself or fucking over my friends by dropping out of a show.
I chose the option that keeps me typing now. The option that robs me of all professional credibility and destroys any sense of me as a...

Lemon bars.
I love lemon bars.
My baby brother made lemon bars.
They’re kind of terrible lemon bars.
I’m still eating the lemon bars.

To my Valentine
I don’t have anything for you. Time and energy didn’t permit. You know that. But you also know, I hope, that I love you. More than anything. That I would give, and give up anything for you. I meant what I said about E.F.F. You are by far the most important person—or place or thing—in my life. I wish this were handwritten and lovely, but we both know that my handwriting does...

50 Days, 50 Escorts! →
Hiya, kiddos! You all know about “40 Days for Life” (if you think I’m linking, you are wrong), “a periodic 40-day campaign during which clinic protesting and patient harassment is at least doubled, and, in many cases, quintupled.”
Well: “ End Clinic Harassment, a blog dedicated to news about escorting and clinic defense, has begun its own counter-campaign: 50...

This made me cry. Why are we torturing those who are coming in legally, doing the “right” thing? Setting foot in Ciudad Juárez is about as dangerous as crossing the desert. Pullquotes, but read the whole thing:
Monica Bosquez managed to “stay positive” most of the time. But in our conversation just days before she left for Ciudad Juárez, the bright and friendly program analyst...
Ask me. Please. I need a distraction.

The hashtag is #thanksppfa. I went with PPFA, which is more specific, but still shorter than spelling out Planned Parenthood. My first tweet is, “5 years of birth control pills and condoms, mulitplie cancer screenings 2 UTIs cured, reassurances that I don’t have the clap.”
-Amanda Marcotte. If Planned Parenthood Federation of America ever helped you, let them know. I did.
Oh also I use Gmail for mail and Google for search
Fuck.
Remember how I needed SelfControl?
Well, I got it. And set it for 4 hours. And put Google Reader on the blacklist.

Thing my mother actually told me today
“Step off.”
As the escalator ended.
Because, at 23, I’m still really confused about the mystical workings of escalators.
