polyamory, relationships and processing
For the first time in my life I’m in a polyamorous relationship. I’ve seen more than one people at a time...

A lot of love songs don’t really work when you’re polyamorous.

Happy birthday, S.

Facebook removes photos of women breastfeeding, but rape videos seem to last for days. These women are sick of it

Best damned day ever.
Let’s get this straight, folks.
Jenner is an elementary school.K-8th graders attend this school. I’ve worked in this beautiful school with the kids there. Many who travel 2 hours each way via CTA to get there, as they have been displaced by Cabrini Green being torn down.
A TEN YEAR OLD. 10 years old, said the following:
At Manierre closing hearings, several students testified they had been “jumped on” for being on the wrong side of Division.
“Please don’t send us to Jenner,” 10-year-old Dominique Brooks said with tears in her eyes. “I beg you, please.”
Last summer, Dominique said eight Jenner girls beat her bloody near Seward Park as she walked to a By The Hand Club For Kids after-school program.
And she was going to an after school program. She was doing the right thing.
These are babies. I know some of these children. They’ve been made into adults in just a few years on this earth.
What the hell are we going to do about it?
Elementary school students.
I can’t stand it.
If you had not heard, North Dakota has banned abortions for 6 weeks today. 40 years back in women’s rights and healthcare. Give what you can to CWHC so we can keep providing Chicago women great healthcare.

Why not?
This is amazing.
Love these ideas
Also, what the fuck is this shenanigans at the train stop. They blocked off the street for construction for months after the station was redone, and THIS IS WHAT IT WAS FOR??? SOME ORIENTALIST BULLSHIT IN TERRIBLE FONT??? Why don’t we install similar signage on other red line stations, huh??? I’ve got a few ideas:
- Boiz on Belmont
- Assholes on Addison
- Shit and Piss on Sheridan
- Cocks on Clark & Division
- Fuck…it’s Fullerton
Uuuuuuuuugh I hate this.
President George W. Bush’s dog Barney dies
(Photo: Rick Wilking / Reuters)
The 12-year-old dog served two terms as “first dog” and was featured in several short films (the “Barneycam”) produced by the White House Staff. He was also the star of the White House’s annual Christmas videos during the Bush administration.
RIP Barney. He was the only part of the Bush administration worth a damn. I hope he’s playing with Duncan 1 & 2, and O’Reilly.

In case anyone still needs a res for Valentine’s Day. (Location is Ridge and Clark)
This is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. That neon green covers all the “popular” neighborhoods, but only like one street of each. Wicker Park/Bucktown literally is covered by 3 different wards.
Chicago dirty politics.
has Texas got one of these neon green motherfuckers?
Bet Chicago got you beat!
The unofficial number of Chicago kids who have died from gun and other violence. Not even the end of January yet.
Tell people.

This was such a great evening! I love performing with glitter walls in the background. And Molly FitzMaurice takes such lovely photos.

Shot on a CTA bus while protecting a friend, Tiara Reed, in May 2007.
His mother, Annette Nance-Holt, met with Vice President Biden this week.
Nance-Holt said she realizes it’s the school shooting in Connecticut that sparked the commission and national gun debate.
“I wanted them to know that we have been living this the whole time and we do sympathize, and empathize with them, and hate they joined our fraternity, but this is our life every day,” she said.
This article is a SHAM.
The CDC warns binge drinking puts women at a higher risk for breast cancer, sexually transmitted diseases, heart disease and unintended pregnancy.
Last I checked on science and how my uterus works, one does not get pregnant nor STDs by drinking 4 beers in one sitting. Because lord knows I would have 9 kids by now.
I’m all for awareness of the dangers of binge drinking and that many times all people (not just women) who binge drink may make poor decisions because of it (like not using a condom or having high risk sexual encounters), but let’s do that by giving correct FACTS, USA Today. This is absolutely ridiculous.
This article is completely anti-feminist and assumes because making poor or risky decisions while drinking is not based on your gender. And last time I checked too, I don’t remember your liver having a gender nor sex either. Sure, women have breasts, and sure they have a different level of heart disease, but I’m curious to know how estrogen plus 4 beers = heart disease. I’m no scientist, so prove me wrong I guess.
Also, if a guy is taking advantage of a women because she’s been binge drinking, therefore affecting things like unintended pregnancy or STDs, that’s called sexual assault. If she’s wasted dude, that’s not consensual. Binge drinking also does not equal sex (because then I’d be having a lot more of that too).
But we all know that 4 beers in one sitting DOES not equal unintended pregnancy nor STDs. Come on now. I don’t doubt the need to bring this to women’s attention, but let’s do it by telling the real truths.
Thanks for sharing!
