So, pretty clearly from the vibe and the lingo, a pro-lifer (and what sounds like an adult) just posted this question in the Sexpert Advice queue at Scarleteen.
Which is fine: I have a bit in my book on this, and have been meaning to have a piece up on CPCs at Scarleteen for a while now. I appreciated the reminder and the opportunity.
But I just have to wonder: what response did they expect from me? I kinda doubt they wanted to invite me to do an in-depth shakedown of the whole deal, but I can’t imagine, for the life of me, what else they thought I’d do, or how they thought any answer I’d give would someone send more women to them or be of any benefit to them. Did someone earnestly think I’d be all, “Oh, right! I totally forgot to include a link for pregnant women — especially poor women, teen women, and women of color who those orgs love extra-super-much — who want to be manipulated and lied to! After all, that’s a reproductive choice, too, right? Silly me, let me go fix that right now. Thanks for the tip!”
People are so freaking weird, man. Or stupid. Or both.
In other news, I am slowly on the mend. These antibiotics are hell on my guts, but finally, last night, my ears started going back to normal, I was able to stand (heck, even sit) for a while without wanting a five-day nap after, have the appetite for a real meal, take in a nice, deep breath without hacking up a lung, and not have to second guess that I’m semi-coherent, as I have been for days now.
In the ER the other night, when I got put in the room, I got told to take my top stuff off and put on a gown. So, I took it all off, knowing that if they were going to do a chest X-ray, I’d need to do that. When the X-ray tech came in, I asked if I should bring my pile of stuff, and to my ears, this was the conversation we had:
Him: Oh, good, your brassiere is off.
Me: Yeah, I figured it should be. So, can I leave my stuff here or should I bring it?
Him: It’s good you took it off, you can’t have one on for the X-ray. And you’ll want to have that
Which a) didn’t answer the question of if I needed to bring it, b) didn’t seem to acknowledge I said or asked anything at all, and c) made me arrive at the conclusion that I was either having some serious auditory hallucinations or this guy just was far more focused on the grave impropriety a bra-less holiday would be (maybe he had some kind of traumatic experience getting whacked with a merry, unrestrained boob one Christmas or something) than on anything else. However, I was left thinking that if the latter were true, and I really heard what I did, I don’t know why he wasn’t concerned about leaving said brassiere and it being stolen.
I was going to say “What?!?” but I thought it best I just let it go. I was either going to be told I was hallucinating or I’d have to hear about this holiday bra issue, and I wasn’t up to either possibility.

I am totally planning on having a bra-less holiday, and the people at the movies can suck it if they don’t like that.
Glad you’re feeling a bit better!

Can I just say AMEN! I have gone without insurance for the majority of my life. When I just recently made a trip to the ER - I had no choice, it was the weekend - for a busted eardrum and sinus infection it cost me over $700. I applied for help and I was denied because I hadn’t pursued child support. Yes, because we know how easy it is to get child support from someone unemployed. Sigh. Thanks for writing what is always on my mind.

Not exactly relevant to this posting, but: thank you for writing the book! I acquired it for Christmas, gobbled it up, and have gone on to lend it to friends. We are all (thankfully, for our own sakes, etc) fairly clued up anyway, but it’s definitely something I think worth leaving lying around for my little brother to find, and it’s *wonderful* to have some external confirmation that we have actually been thinking sense all along. So, um, I thought I’d let you know that I’m doing my best to encourage a contigent of UK fans
(And from a dif’rent point of view: I stumbled across you on the intarnetz during a rough patch earlier this year, and you’ve been an inspiration - and I hope you don’t think that my saying so is too creepy…)
Hope you’re getting steadily better and that things are looking up for you.
