Melissa Harris-Perry: “How White People Can Talk About Trayvon Martin
I was prepared to hate this. I figured she was going to be one of mine that had to be collected in the name of “Satire.” I am glad I was wrong and…can each and every person who sees this, commit this list to memory and use it not only in the Trayvon Martin case but ya know, always?

Speaking of my rad stretch marks...
…when I was pregnant, they kind of made my big round belly look like a flower. Now, as noted, they look more like big flaming wings on either side.
It really makes me want to get, like, a skull tattooed over my pubis or something to connect with them, except that a) blood thinners and b) god knows how subsequent pregnancies would wreck that. Better bide my time.

I can haz IUD!
I got the copper one (Paragard), because:
Progesterone seems to make my migraines worse. Mirena is obviously not systemic the way that Depo (or pregnancy) is, but I didn’t want to risk it.
It took nine months to have a period after going off Depo, and then I had a period every two weeks for THREE MONTHS without ever ovulating; I finally required Clomid to make my body actually ovulate....

evelark replied to your post: How dare people with children or mobility impairments take up space
My bus system has the same policy with strollers. I’m not sure what the reason is. Still, there’s no reason for the driver to be that rude about it (or the walker).
I think the issue is that strollers take up space for which PWD have first priority—and it’s definitely important that that...
I don't think my spouse has ever had insomnia.
Like, yes, dear, I know that I should go to bed. I would LIKE to go to bed… but not if it means lying there staring at the wall for 3-4 hours.
If I’m going to be awake, I might as well be tumbling.

How dare people with children or mobility...
So today I took the bus to campus to teach, and for the first time ever caught shit from a bus driver for having a stroller. He first didn’t want to let me on the bus because it was “full” (there was no one standing when I got on, and several open seats)—he informed me that the “new policy” is that all strollers must be folded, which I figured was probably...

She wouldn’t sleep last night either, but she at least sacked out around 9:30. She shows no signs of doing so at the moment.
Of course she waited for my spouse to be out of town to suddenly give up sleep. He comes home tomorrow and as far as I’m concerned he can be on bedtime duty until the fourth of July.
