Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

They don't want it to be hard to get an abortion, they want it to be illegal. Whole other vibe. They GOT hard to get right now, at least in wide swaths of the country.

Our wings are not tired.

The thing that absolute GALLS me the most is that the same group who is trying so hard to make abortions illegal is the SAME group who want to cut all funding for the poor and their children. They care about life ONLY before birth.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

They don't want it to be hard to get an abortion, they want it to be illegal.

The thing that's become clear to me is that it isn't about abortion. It's about controlling women's sexuality and bodies. Hence all the slut shaming and attack on birth control.

The right does not want women to have sex and enjoy it. They want to punish women for having sex and desiring it.

Why else go after birth control?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I cannot figure out how to use evernote.

Where do you have a problem? Which platform are you using it on?

I admit, I have fallen away from my to do list. I am bad. Just keep putting shit off.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

They don't want it to be hard to get an abortion, they want it to be illegal. Whole other vibe.

I realize that. That's why I said, while I get wanting it to be hard, I don't get wanting to destroy the lives of women who do it.

Agreeing with you, Hec, it isn't really about saving babies and stopping abortions. It's about controlling women. And I don't get it. WHY? Why do they not want women to have sex unless they're married and trying to have babies? They're not trying to stop men from having the fun sex; who do they plan on guys having the fun sex with, if they manage to get rid of the "sluts"? Other men? ooooh nooooo Women married to other men, I guess. There is no sense to this. That's why I can't understand it; there's just no place I can find a logical footing. Someone explain to me why they hate and fear women so much.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why do they not want women to have sex unless they're married and trying to have babies?

God.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Why do they not want women to have sex unless they're married and trying to have babies?

My inner cynic, which is rapidly becoming one with my outer cynic, thinks that they know that women who can make informed choices, know what good sex is and how to get it, and can control whether or not it results in babies or disease, will have nothing to do with their ignorant, bullying asses. Why have missionary, p-i-v sex in the dark, with someone who doesn't know the difference between the vulva and the vagina, when you can get eaten out on the sofa by someone who'll wear eyeliner and cook a snack for afterwards? Once women come to expect good lovin' and know they can find someone to give it to them, the ones who find sex important, and that's a nontrivial number, will never touch Republican governor ass again.

Calli, I think you're exactly right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just can't.

Is it true that the FX website doesn't have full episodes?? And on demand doesn't have the most recent, either. My life is SO HARD.

Full episodes of what, Jesse? Here's what it looks like they have: [link]

Hmm. It seems Kristen Bell has a no tit clause. She's quite definitely the only sex scene in House of Lies with no nip. It's weirdly coy.
