Love it, Dr. Walton. Love it. I’d call to thank you, but I rather think your phone is busy. On Saturday, we had our first visitor to the new house (Jocelyn, of course) and my first political freak-out, which consisted of me briefly yelling (then mercifully stopping myself) about the WAR ON WOMEN’S HEALTH.In Sunday’s New York Times
Awesome.
“Smart strong women are coming after you”
I need that on a bumper sticker.

“message in a bottle”
i love rome. not as much as you, but i love rome.
i want to take you to the tango bar on the tiber and finish our evening on the carousel.
i want to feel your awe while we hold each others hands.
i want to walk beside you all dressed up and be reminded of the sacred.
which for us happens indoors, while we are so close i no longer have any words.

What would happen, for instance, if suddenly, magically, men could menstruate and women could not?
The answer is clear - menstruation would become an enviable, boast-worthy, masculine event:
Men would brag about how long and how much.
Boys would mark the onset of menses, that longed-for proof of manhood, with religious ritual and stag parties.
Congress would fund a National Institute of Dysmenorrhea to help stamp out monthly discomforts.
Sanitary supplies would be federally funded and free. (Of course, some men would still pay for the prestige of commercial brands such as John Wayne Tampons, Muhammad Ali’s Rope-a-dope Pads, Joe Namath Jock Shields - “For Those Light Bachelor Days,” and Robert “Baretta” Blake Maxi-Pads.)
Military men, right-wing politicians, and religious fundamentalists would cite menstruation (“men-struation”) as proof that only men could serve in the Army (“you have to give blood to take blood”), occupy political office (“can women be aggressive without that steadfast cycle governed by the planet Mars?”), be priest and ministers (“how could a woman give her blood for our sins?”) or rabbis (“without the monthly loss of impurities, women remain unclean”).

This. This is, like it or not, totally true. Hilarious, stunning, and mindblowingly true.
Maybe one day there will be gender equality. But not yet.

Huh.
And yes.

This made me giggle…

this is very true. i mean, i think period pains would be SO MUCH A BIGGER DEAL if male-bodied people had them too. you’d probably get days off work/school for them, no questions asked.

If you agree that, in the absence of God, you would commit robbery, rape, and murder, you reveal yourself as an immoral person, and we would be well advised to steer a wide course around you. If, on the other hand, you admit that you would continue to be a good person even when not under divine surveillance, you have fatally undermined your claim that God is necessary for us to be good.

My Biggest Regret Ever: Givng a Fuck
My biggest regret ever is giving a fuck. For as long as I can remember, I’ve worried too much about what other people thought of me, and how I could change to make them accept me. Now that I’m out of High School, I’ve stopped caring. In a college of 25,000 students, I’ve come to realize that it’s time to live my own life for myself, and nobody else. I make choices for myself and only myself; and if people don’t like those choices? Sucks for them. It’s a great feeling, being happy. I just hope that everyone in this world who has low self-esteem and issues with themselves can follow this advice.
You have one life, and one chance. Live it for yourself.
I once loved a girl who almost loved me, but not as much as she loved John Cusack.
