I left this book somewhere in Henderson today. You could say its a special edition. (Why else would I have a Danielle Steel novel on me?) Find the book and discover why it’s so special. (My friends might be able to help explain why.) Better yet, send me a pic of you with the book…
The Romney campaign has gone all flibbidy-woo over Paul Ryan, making him the GOP vice presidential candidate. And, apparently, everyone in my generation (Hello, Gen Xers!) are going to be super happy about it. (Not.) I’m not sure who’s more happy about this nomination, my liberal friends or the conservatives who hate us. But one…
The opponents of Planned Parenthood are at it again. Or, I would say they’re at it again but they’ve really never stopped. But these days it seems the attacks on reproductive health care and women’s autonomy of their own bodies is on a constant feedback loop. It’s no wonder it inspired the hyperbolic War on…
As many rejoiced throughout the land at the dawn of Aug. 1 — a landmark day when new requirements of the Affordable Health Care Act went into effect, granting some 47 million women (about 400,000 here in Nevada) access to birth control without co-pays, preventative care, and more — some of us were also gathering…
Dems step up: The Democratic Party are poised to include an official plank supporting same-sex marriage, among other pro-LGBT issues. It’s good news. But honestly, I sort of thought it was already in there. So… it’s about time. The hits just keep coming: Women lose in Arizona as news came out today that a federal…
Real women save themselves: Did you catch the interview of Sigourney Weaver on NPR in which she declares that she doesn’t buy into the idea of the damsel in distress. “When I look around the world, I don’t see too many damsels in distress. If they’re a damsel in distress, they’re manipulating some guy to…
Perhaps you’ve seen graphics from the Rescue My Library campaign around the valley lately. If not, here’s the short-list of why libraries are the backbone of a community — providing so much more than books and media — and why you should vote yes. As if you need another reason to support literacy in our…
Call this my impromptu Get-Out-The-Vote Week. And today’s impassioned plea for you — especially you women — to get your butts to the voting booth comes from Tara Brosnan, Field Organizer for the Nevada Advocates for Planned Parenthood Affiliates: Are you disillusioned with politics? Are you so fed up with the attacks on women’s health…
I saw an alarming graph posted to an anti-abortion site called AbortionDocs.org which boasted that 70% of clinics providing abortions had been closed since 1991 (or 2176 clinics to 660). Since I refuse to link to an anti-abortion site or re-post their alarmist propaganda, you’ll have to take my word for it on the graph.…
Turning black eyes blue? Not sure what to make of this PSA illustrating ways to cover bruises from domestic violence with makeup. Is this one of those times that we take the less-than-perfect because the end result is light bulbs going off? Or is this bullshit? Got blood? We’re having a blood shortage. But gay…
