BREAKING: White House Amends Birth Control... →
Today, the White House did the right thing for women, public health and human rights. Despite deep concerns, including my own, based on what transpired in the past under health reform, the White House has decided on a plan to address the birth control mandate that will enable women to get contraceptive coverage directly through their insurance plans without having to buy a rider or a second...

Duke Riley tattoos.

Wowza.
http://www.juxtapoz.com/Gallery/duke-riley-tattoo
I’m supposed to get tattooed this weekend, but I think I’m going to cancel the appointment because I can’t really spare the money or time to do so and I’m pretty bummed about it. The dude who I want to do this specific tattoo is going to be in town from Athens for the Philly Tattoo Convention, so...

The screwed generation: Libertarian, not liberal -... →
The fact that there are still discussions between contending candidates about whether gay marriage should be legal or if women should have the right to have an abortion is shameful in the eyes of the youth vote. We’re done with those debates. There may not be a total consensus, but it’s pretty clear where the majority of our generation stands. Marriage equality falls under basic civil rights and...
I cannot even tell you how much I am looking forward to having three whole weeks ahead of me in which I am not traveling or away from my house for an extended period of time. And I am going to spend the first hour of my homebody-ness by finally watching last week’s episode of The Vampire Diaries and getting my room in order.

Why is tumblr doing that thing where you have to go into the html editor to add a comment when reblogging something from somebody?
Why are there not more hours in the day? Like, an additional 24 hours might be enough for me to do everything that I’d like to get done today. Maybe.
Why didn’t I get coffee this morning? Now it is too late. If I drink coffee now, I won’t be able to...

Dogs Can be Assholes Too
Noelle’s owner told me that although she is allowed on the bed, she’s not supposed to sit on the pillows. Noelle keeps sitting on the lowest of the three pillows and I keep moving her to the foot of the bed. She tried to sit on our clothes, which are piled on the couch, and S moved her. So, she jumped on the bed and sat higher up on the pillows, glaring at us defiantly the whole time.

My laptop fell off a bench onto a linoleum floor yesterday and so far everything seems to be fine, except that the little USB receiver thing for my wireless mouse got totally busted and now the USB port it was plugged into doesn’t appear to work at all. I have AppleCare and made a Genius Bar appointment for Friday, so this should all be okay, right? Right? Kinda need two working USB ports.
Planned Parenthood, Komen & Moving Forward
jasencomstock:
Someone more knowledgeable about abortion politics will have several books to say about this, but I believe in anti-choice circles, abortions as a cause of breast cancer is taken as a pretty certain fact. Planned Parenthood is seen as inextricably linked with abortion.
The Susan G. Komen website states pretty clearly that there is no scientific link between breast cancer and...

The Susan G. Komen Foundation Thinks You're Stupid
phillyjourno:
The internet almost broke yesterday over the news that Susan G. Komen Foundation caved to anti-choice cultural warriors by yanking grant funds from Planned Parenthood. A good explanation of how the political pressure came from within is here.
The investigation into Planned Parenthood was launched by Rep. Cliff Stearns last fall in response to a gibberish report issued by...
