Farewell, followers!
I am off to Paris to work with an interactive media team at the Global Editors Network World News Summit. No, I won’t really be seeing any of Paris because I’ll be interviewing and editing for most of my waking hours. I’ll catch you next Monday!

How to talk to the doctor about sex →
Part 1: Before the visit (Prepare, prepare, prepare…)
There are a few simple things you can do before seeing your provider to make sure you get the most out of the visit:
Do get organized. Pay attention to how you’re feeling in the weeks before the visit, including whether your period is regular. Jot down notes about anything unusual. You should have the start-date of your last period on hand...

Married people on Facebook.
Yeah, I saw your 348 photos of your wedding. Yep, I DO like the silhouette of you guys against that window, so sweet and original. Oh you can’t wait til your hubby gets home from work? Well please tell me all about it in the most boring Facebook status ever. Oh haha, you’re making a roast? Yuuuummmy. I care so fucking much. For real, I do. Please take a picture of it and post it...

Giving Birth in Chains →
Women in the U.S. who give birth while they are imprisoned do so chained to their hospital beds. Can you imagine giving birth while shackled down? We need legislation to change this within each state.
Yesterday, we saw another important step in this long march to a more fair and humane criminal justice system for pregnant woman and girls. A federal court issued preliminarily approval of a...

Why news organisations need more women leaders
I’m about to fly off to Paris (tomorrow!) to interview speakers at this huge worldwide journalism conference. This conference is featuring the top dogs of the major newspapers. (I’m most excited about interviewing the editor-in-chief of The Guardian!!) I’m working on my pre-research and start to find bios for everyone speaking on this panel called “Why news organisations...

GynocraticGrrl: If Women Ruled The World &... →
Out of curiosity, and only curiosity, I sometimes pose the question: What If Women Ruled The World?
And what disheartens me about the usual responses is that the most pessimistic, negative and sexist responses almost ALWAYS come from women.
“It’ll be worse!” “They’ll be more violence!”
…
“Let me tell you something: as someone who faces sexism on a very personal level,...”

BBC Broadcasts Live From an Abortion Clinic, And... →
This Wednesday, May 23 marked a first for broadcasting (and for feminism): BBC Radio news anchor Victoria Derbyshire aired her mid-morning show live from an abortion clinic. Her goal was refreshingly straightforward, as explained in her introduction, “What we’d like to do is tell you what happens when a woman considers an abortion and then decides to have one.”
The show came just a day after...

stfuconservatives:
A MRA (Men’s Rights Activists) has made a startling case for exoticization, female subjugation, and eugenics: all men should marry brown women in countries where the government is more “man-friendly” (theocracies, places where abuse isn’t prohibited, pesky things like that) and slowly breed the terrible plague of Western White Women out of existence. The problem with white...

Dear Sentry - The - Defiant
I saw this post, and decided to go on your blog for more of your opinions on gay marriage. However, your blog didn’t contain a lot of opinions on gay people. What it did contain was this picture:

I’ve been getting Trinessa for $9 at Kroger. I didn’t realize that this wasn’t the case at Walgreen’s as well. So when I moved to a new city I got my prescription sent to my nearest pharmacy, Walgreen’s, and then was in for a bit of a surprise when I got there and realize that I would be paying triple the price. Now I have to find a Kroger with a pharmacy and drive...

Thinking about my period.
Don’t read this post unless you’re cool with hearing about what my body feels like when I menstruate.
I’ve been having periods for about 9 years now but only really paying attention to them for the last year. I have come to find that every single menstrual cycle of mine is completely different. There are the obvious differences like in whether or not I PMS hardcore, but...

I got a honeysuckle candle because it’s honeysuckle season and honeysuckle is my favorite smell ever except the only honeysuckle bush near my house is also next to my neighbor’s trash so when I walk by I have to take a deep honeysuckle breath because I love honeysuckle smell but it’s really more like honeysuckletrash. So because the smell of honeysuckle is my favorite scent I got...

laughatdragons replied to your post: My New Eco Adventures
Try to make sure you don’t get the seeds of weeds into your compost, because they will just grow and have to be pulled again! Gets rather obnoxious after a while. :) Happy gardening!
Yeah I’ve heard two sides to that actually. Some people say it’s ok because your compost should be kept really hot (which mine should be in a...

My New Eco Adventures
I have been in major home improvement mode lately. As in go get my soul sucked away at The Home Depot. It’s mainly outdoor stuff. My boyfriend and I just sort of accidentally turned the entire side of our house into a garden. It started with his friend randomly bringing us 9 bell pepper plants and 9 tomato plants. Then we got some jalapenos, squash, zucchini, cucumber, watermelon and bam we...

Don't Force Children's Affection.
This is an important lesson to teach children. I was first introduced to this oh so simple yet profound method of parenting last year when I was training to be a rape crisis advocate. Then I read this article today.
At gatherings with families and friends, expectations about affection, attention, and teasing can create unnecessary stress and discomfort. By accepting our children’s different...
