nonplussedbyreligion:
If they would simply do this then maybe I’d be less inclined to want to fly to NJ, look Chris Christie in the eyes and ask him to stop benefitting from the taxes of the LGBTQA residents of New Jersey that he’s so bent on denying equality. I’m furious. My friends can’t even get married there and one of them has lived there her entire life! They’ll have to go to New York...

Outside of the groups I’ve already made financial promises to for the Susan G. Komen walk in October, my funds will now go directly to Planned Parenthood and the American Cancer Society. Earlier I expressed how torn I was about this. Breast cancer is something that is near to me. An examination that leads to early detection, especially amongst those who cannot afford the...

baaconnn answered your question: Can You Choose to Be Gay?
Not a choice. She worded it poorly. Did your friend choose to fall in love? No, it just happened. You fall in love w the person, not the gend
Thank you Kristen.

What’s the Latest Development?
Before ‘Sex and the City’ star Cynthia Nixon gave a prepared speech to a gay audience recently, organizers wanted to make changes where Nixon had written that she chose to be gay. In a follow up story, Nixon said: “A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a...

I’ve embraced my inner nerd. Fortunately I usually start and end in the last panel, but I’ve been known to go off on wild ones. The more asinine the event being questioned, the more elaborate my hypothesis. ~ Kim

Here’s my new one. It’s called Colorado. It’s an alt/country song about a woman and trains. Hope you like it, and if you do, I could really use a *signal boost*. Turns out I’m no good at promoting my own music. Thanks for listening!

Roe v. Wade Turns 39, Will It See 40?
nonplussedbyreligion:
by Jessica Pieklo
I admit I came to the reproductive rights movement a little late, in large part because, like many women my age, I assumed my right to bodily autonomy would always be there. What a miscalculation that turned out to be.
Roe v. Wade turns 39 today and there are some real questions as to whether or not it can make it to 40. With over 1100...

I won’t hop on my soapbox about this again, but I will say that she is a definite stain on my profession. Good riddance.

This is something that I simply must have. The 3D printer for home use. Strong as legos, quick as shit!
This is so cool. If as a new product it’s starting out at $1300, a price I’d be willing to pay for it, I can’t wait to see how that price comes down when and if it becomes more popular. Again this is so cool!
