Exactly! If my parents weren’t paying my car insurance, & if I wasn’t still on their health insurance, I would be SCREWED. It would be nice to be able to buy a pair of pants for work since all of mine have holes in them, but that’ll have to wait. -.-
Yeah, that. Most of my clothes come from...

theworldsgotmedizzyagain replied to your post: More money-related ranting.
I feel the same way SO often. I’m indebted to my mother, though. I’m worried about the move and not having a job there yet because I don’t even know how I’m going to afford rent. Money is the most ridiculous, anxiety-inducing trouble ever. :(
Yeah, but don’t say that too loud, cause then you’ll get a...

More money-related ranting.
I’m sick of being indebted to my fucking boyfriend cause I can’t afford some vital shit. I have money-induced breakdowns on a regular basis. Mostly because I can’t keep my head afloat when it costs 2 weeks’ paycheck to see Steven for barely 36 hours, so how the fuck am I supposed to be able to afford other things? Also I owe him money for shoes that we buy because...

Abortion Care Network →
bebinn:
The Abortion Care Network represents independent abortion providers and others who provide care for people seeking abortions. I’m afraid it is another ciscentric website, but it really is a great resource otherwise.
They have answers to questions you might have, like decision-making, spirituality, finding a clinic, and basic questions on abortions. They also have a section called Men...

What Maketh a Man
It’s happened. The last vestige of women’s indulgence, jewelry, is now being taken over by men. Well, not really by all men. However, there is a growing brotherhood of the sartorially savvy. They clip their nails, they condition their hair, they wear pink, and are not afraid to put on something glint-y.
In today’s times, if you see...

What exactly is Obamacare and what does it change? →
abaldwin360:
big thanks to reddit user CaspianX2 for typing all this out!
What people call “Obamacare” is actually the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. However, people were calling it “Obamacare” before everyone even hammered out what it would be. It’s a term mostly used by people who don’t like the PPaACA, and it’s become popularized in part because PPaACA is a really long and...
Most LGBT-Friendly College Campuses: Campus Pride... →
lipstick-feminists:
Campus Pride rates the colleges based on more than two dozen issues dealing with academic and student life, policies, course offerings, campus safety and housing and health services. Instead of coming up with a top 10 ranking, they’ve put together ratings based on a ranking system with five stars.
Almost half of the campuses with a five-star rating were located in...

Interviewer: Give us your best tip for overcoming depression.
Stephen Fry: To regard it as being like the weather. It's not your responsibility that it's raining, but it is real when it rains, and the fact that it's raining does not mean that the rain is never going to stop. The only thing to do is to believe that, one day, it won't be raining and accept it so you can find a mental umbrella to shield yourself from the worst. The sun will eventually come up.

Looking at tattoo places in København cause I gotta, and I stumble across a place where one of the artists tattooed an ENORMOUS swastika on someone’s chest. A) Dumb on the person’s part, B) dumb on the artist’s part, and C) WHY would you post that online for people to see? You, sirs, have lost my hypothetical business SO hard.

abaldwin360:
The Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday began discussing a bill that would make it a federal crime to knowingly mislead voters as to the time and place of a public election — an effort Democrats say will help crack down on voter intimidation and disenfranchisement due to dirty political tricks.
Sens. Ben Cardin (D-MD) and Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who introduced the Deceptive...
