Five Cheese Bonus Mac & Cheese
Emily Manuel and I got into a discussion this morning about what to make for Shavu’ot, which is this weekend. Tradition calls for a dairy meal, and it’s hard to get more dairy than this. [gmc_recipe 803] [gmc_recipe 822] Original Article

Tonight HBO premiered its new documentary series “The Weight of a Nation”. On the premiere page it says “Obesity in America has reached a catastrophic level. Almost every aspect of our lives is threatened. The first step toward ending the damage is...

– Celebrity chef Mario Batali • Discussing the diet he’s currently on — he’s eating like he’s on food stamps (an average of $1.48 per meal, or $31 per week) in protest of potential cuts to the federal food stamps program.

Fat Acceptance
fuckyeahlgbtqlatinxs: The people who are most shamed and oppressed for being fat are working class people of color and working class white people.  Many of which either live in food deserts in urban areas or live in rural areas where grocery stores may be scarce or difficult to get to if you don’t have a car/ have limited transportation options. But fat acceptance bloggers and activists seem to...

queerdesi: My name is Fredi Reyes. I am a 15-year old United States citizen, born in New York on November 23, 1996. I’m a freshman high school student at East Davidson High School and I’m currently undergoing the worst crisis of my life. This isn’t some teenage fit over popularity or how good I look, or the clothes I wear. Along with my mother, I am facing deportation from my only home.

I'm going to lay this out for you, ok?
prolongedeyecontact: scarlip: whatfreshhellisthis: Cis women are not being specifically targeted by the anti-choice, anti-reproductive rights lobby. For cis women to be specifically targeted by the anti-choice lobby, they would have to allow that non-cis men, non-men and non-cis women exist. And. they. do. not. You seem to think that in this shoot-out you’re being aimed at, and we’re just...

Set Off Your Medical Pendant, Get Shot
A 68 year old black Marine veteran was shot and killed in his own home in White Plains, NY after police responded to a “medical emergency” call when the man accidentally activated his medical assistance pendant device. In the middle of the night, police banged on his door until he was roused from sleep, demanded entry, when he refused (because he was not ill) they broke down the door,...

Help Produce My Student Movie!
transsexualferox: Hey all, I’m gearing up for my second student production in film class, and I thought I’d re-sound the call for donations to my cause. My own mini-Kickstarter if you will. Money gathered at this time will be funneled towards the cost of production. Leftover money will remain in my PayPal account, as I save towards buying my own video equipment and editing software. Anyone...

Privilege Ahoy: First Week of March Edition
Can we talk, just for a minute even, about the rampaging, extraordinary, unchecked and unbelievably ignorant male privilege that’s on display in this ongoing (and dare I say intentional) male-driven discussion about contraception which evidences absolutely no understanding whatsoever of how hormonal contraception even works? Or aren’t we talking about male privilege any more?

inflateablefilth: I haven’t seen a single trans person deny that anti-abortion laws are often rooted in misogyny. I really haven’t. We’re genuinely not asking you to ignore this. However, when you’re talking about these things, when you say things like ‘this harms women’ or ‘this is bad for women’ or post anything… Cydne, you kick ass. Thank you for writing this.

Did Harry Readshaw Call You?
Are you one of the people who dropped me an Ask saying that Harry Readshaw called you back after you left a message with him about his letter to me?

If that was you, or if you got a call back from Readshaw (or his office) after calling about the letter, could you please reach...

A Word Does Not a Mandate Make
As an uproar was sounded across the nation over “transvaginal” and ultrasounds performed in that fashion, we are now getting reports that mandated transvaginal ultrasounds are no longer a part of mandatory ultrasound before abortion bills in Alabama and potentially Virginia. Be wary. So long as the bills still mandate either: - a detailed description of the anatomy of the...

bunnyayla asked: My parents are voting judges and think that the reason that reprehensible representative congratulates you on your voting record, the reason he checked it in the first place, is because he might have blown you off if you hadn't been a regular voter. This is... awful. I'm sorry.
