“Trust Women.”
– ~Dr. George Tiller. Three years ago today Dr. Tiller, an abortion provider in Wichita, Kansas, was murdered. Today we remember his courageous and compassionate work as both a health care provider and a women’s health advocate. Our thoughts are with Dr. Tiller’s family and loved ones.

I can get past the jorts. Actually, I’d like to get *past* the jorts… (and, you know, touch his boy parts)
Damn kid, we don’t like denim shorts anymore? I can’t learn a new basic stelo - I’m going to be dipped from the palette of early 90s rap videos for life. I would probably be buried in...

Ain't That A B-word
She asks her shy four or five year old who’s petting Hazel, “Did you ask if it’s a boy dog or a girl dog?”
The kid doesn’t answer and I don’t say anything so she prompts me directly.
“Is it a boy dog or a girl dog?”
I’m actually quiet for a few seconds too long, trying to get my work-fatigued mind in gear to answer in a way that will satisfy...

Anonymous asked: "The whole album feels like a terrible person is being punched really hard in the face"... But you said you were a pacifist in Heterodoxy! (BTW in preparation for this post I listened really hard to Heterodoxy, and it reminded me of how much our views agree - the biggest difference is that you're good at expressing them! I'm glad one of us is)

hello-kitty-a-day asked: Salvation Army acceptance of queer individuals is not a Canada wide thing, it is on a church by church basis. My Aunt is a member and her church uses a kind of cast system for heaven. Depending on how good you've lived your life you will get accepted into a specific level. While her church accepts gay/queer members of the congergation they can only ever make it into the first level of heaven...

Gargamel (coworker): What's the name of that Of Monsters And Men song that's exactly like "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes?
Jesse Dangerously (me): "Little Talks!"
Garg: I feel like if you played those two songs on top of one another, they'd go perfectly.
JD: They have kind of a similar feel, but... they describe really different parts of a relationship.
G: They do.
JD: They both make me cry my eyes out, though, so you may be onto something.

gadgetry:
I didn’t scream. I participated, as politely as possible, in the discussion. It could have been worse. The systemic contributors to unhealthy eating and sedentary lifestyles were being addressed, rather than just FAT BAD EW FAT GET RID OF IT. But I wish we hadn’t been examining obesity, as a class, through the lens of disease.
Obesity is not the failsafe signifier of poor health, and...

adamwarrock:
Real talk.
[…]
I’ve felt for a little while, a bit out of place when it comes to rap, or music, or, I don’t know, society. I’ve had to experience way too much misogynistic, homophobic, racist and just generally offensive bullshit for a lifetime in the space of what I’d call my “career” from not just angry Internet trolls, but from fellow creators, artists, and people in...

In much of Latin America, collective memory of terror is often tied up with U.S. presence and intervention. For over a century, the U.S. government and military has occupied nations,trained soldiers on how to be better murderers and torturers, and helped to squash democratic popular movements in...

acrizzle asked: So a white co-worker says to me, today, "We don't get a day off for President's Day, but we get one for a nigger's birthday." Now, I knew what he meant; but he's GOTTA know what kinda feelings that evokes in a black guy, especially here in the South~! Apparently, he is teacher got him on that line of thinking, which doesn't put me at ease one whit, either. Or am...

WatchHazer was so excited by her run this morning that she wiggled until she fell down into a ditch.
I’m going to do the same thing next time I feel excited, because it’s totally absent of ambiguity and sometimes I have trouble being read as psyched.
Hazel never has that problem.

Back to work mode: if you’re hanging out with anyone, anywhere, who’d be up for writing a sex diary for me, I would love that and be very grateful to you for passing on the info! They should check out a few previous ones at http://nymag.com/tags/sex%20diaries/ to get an idea of what we’re looking for and email me at sexdiaries at nymag.com (and I will reply to anyone I haven’t yet ASAP)....

Here it is!! “DAUGHTERS” World Premiere!!
I don’t know, maybe I overreacted with anti-patriarchal grumpiness when this song was first dropped… I feel kind of split on it, I guess. I think that it’s a lot more honest than “I Know I Can,” and there’s an extent to which maybe it’s okay for him to confess to his own uptightness around his...

The one brand to which I have any loyalty for reasons other than exceptionally ethical production is Timberland, the essence of the latter wave of golden era hip-hop.
Oh and AACA for exactly the same reason.

a word of advice on lyrics
In the case of having just met someone, giving them your number and suggesting that maybe they might call you is hardly crazy, Ms Jepsen.
“I just met you… and this is crazy… but here’s my number… I branded it into your skin using a satellite I control with my thoughts… and now I’m going to kill you.”
