Let’s put aside, for a second, the fact that the women Dr. Tiller helped were so often in the unfortunate circumstance of for whatever reason being unable to continue a wanted pregnancy and had nowhere else to turn.
Let’s also put aside, for a moment, whatever personal feelings I...

Still team Angelina after all these years.
So Brangelina might be breaking up (or they may have just decided that after $300 million in shared assets and like 20 kids they should sign some form of a prenup but same diff, right?). Which, ok, I think is kind of sad. But more importantly can I just take this time to say that I have never understood the whole Jen vs. Angelina thing? I mean, sure, the blood necklace/kissing brother thing was...

On wounds
joyengel:
As you may know, my biological father died last week.
And I had a different reaction than the one you might expect.
I hadn’t seen my father since I was about 14. My father was a drunk, and an angry one at that. And when he was angry, he liked to hit.
The physical wounds of my childhood abuse healed long ago. It’s only in real intimate moments that people see the lines on my stomach,...

WATCH THIS, I MADE YOU A PRESENT
Guys! It is my Tumblrversary! (well, technically it’s on Saturday, but nobody is on Tumblr on Saturdays and I made this last night and was TOO EXCITED not to post it.)
It is, essentially, a love letter (THROUGH A PHOTO MONTAGE) to all of you and all of my favorite things that have crossed my dashboard over the last two years. Specific call outs to...

“Obama is just as ineffectual as Carter was, but with none of the moral courage.”
– — something said by a friend of mine today.
Let me just say that I am not 100% sure I agree with this statement, but I’m at least beginning to lean towards it. But what with his administration making the same arguments as the Bush administration when it comes to torture, and how...

Here’s the unedited version of the interview I did with Animal Collective.
Yes to this so many times over. Also, “Poison” was the first single I ever bought, and my favorite song of 5th grade.

Erica: Ten years ago, I didn’t need a disco nap to function.
Joy: What’s a disco nap?
Erica: It’s when you take a nap in the afternoon to prep for a long night out.
Joy: huh.
Erica: It originated with the Disco People.

You also hung out with your BFF Joy, who visited you from San Francisco. But details, effing details.
I was getting to that. Joy became the Mayor of my building on Foursquare.
Stumbling back into the (online) world.
Oh hi. Hope you had a good break and did lots of interesting things. I myself, I didn’t do shit, except for maybe watch a few seasons of Arrested Development, eat, and try to figure out Lady Gaga songs on my brand new Ukulele (the best xmas present ever, stay tuned for my forthcoming musical comedy album in 10 years, when I actually figure out how to play the thing). Oh and I finally saw...
