*I wrote this last month but didnt post it. After a heated conversation with a male friend who didn't understand why the required transvaginal ultrasound is a big effin deal, ive decided to now post it*
Its been nearly a year since I last spoke to you about your never ending plans to rule my vagina. At that time it was your desire to cut off Planned Parenthoods funding that had my panties in a bunch, but you've really outdone yourself now.
It was about a month ago that I first heard of the Ultrasound Abortion bill, which requires women to get a trans-vaginal ultrasound 24 hours before a scheduled abortion. In particular, the article I read was about this bill being passed in Texas, the provisions of which are the most severe of all the 11 states that employ it. Yes in good ol' Texas, a woman is not only required to have the ultrasound 24 hours before her abortion, but must also view the image, hear the heartbeat and be told of the babies current developmental state. Being that this ultrasound has no medical benefit to the woman or doctor, as trans-vaginal ultrasounds are a common part of the actual abortion procedure anyway (during which the screen is turned away from the woman), this is clearly a states way of telling us that we are making the wrong decision. Proponents of the bill have stated that they hope the ultrasound and 24 hour period following it will give the woman time to rethink her decision. Because she clearly hasn't thought it through enough. The choice of whether or not to abort is one of, if not the hardest decision a woman will ever have to make. It is not a decision any woman takes lightly and more thought and consideration and heartache goes into making it than you can ever understand. When the Supreme Court ruled on Roe v Wade so many years ago, the Court stated that during the first trimester, when the procedure is more safe than childbirth, the decision to abort must be left to the mother and her physician. The State has the right to intervene prior to fetal viability only to protect the health of the mother. The Court explicitly rejected a fetal "right to life" argument. Now while some states that employ this bill only mandate that a doctor offer the option of a pre-abortion ultrasound to a woman, the states who enforce it go far beyond that and have essentially told the Supreme Court decision to fuck off. To force a woman to undergo an unnecessary procedure, one that if she does not have insurance she will have to pay for, for the sake of YOUR beliefs and agendas is unconscionable. To make an unimaginably hard and uncomfortable situation that much harder is despicable. To continuously make efforts to gain control over a womans body is simply evil.
I planned to say a lot more but this is all I can stomach writing.
As always, fuck you,

Its time to retire, right?
Last Thursday while taking attendance, my hideous classical lit teacher informed me that we needed to speak after class. I assumed it had something to do with my lack of short writing assignments on The Iliad but neigh, I was wrong. She informed me that this was the first time I'd been in class since the first day.
...no.
no is what i said to her. no mam, that is incorrect, sir.
refusing to believe me, she showed me her roll book and next to my name were 4 absent marks.
i informed her that i did not care what her book said, she was mistaken. i had been absent two times, once for surgery and once for a family emergency. if she wanted proof, i said, i would be more than happy to provide her with my attendance records from the 3 classes before hers and the 1 class after.
'well uhhhhh, uhhhhhhh, uhhhhhh, lets uhhhhhhh, uhhhhhhhh, uhhhhhhh, you know uhhhhhhhhh, uhhhhhh, uhhhhhh, okay ill just uhhhh, ill check my original roll and uhhhhhh, ya know uhhh, before we make a uhhhhhh, federal case out of this and uhhhh, get back to you'
that is not an exaggeration of uhhhhh's. that is verbatim.
this woman, who is at least in her 60's, says uhhhhh after every few words she speaks and ends each sentence with "right?"
i timed her on the 3rd day of class. she said "right?" 52 times in 14 minutes.
this makes her pretty obnoxious to have to listen to, especially when shes already ranting about something exponentially annoying, The Iliad.
"oh great agamemnon, lord of lords, king of the chysanthemum, son of Maya, the great whore of babylon, protector of the fruit roll up, god of fireflys, bsgjhfskjgdfklgjdlfgjdlfkgjdfklgjldkjdflgj"
every single time you reintroduce a character? really homer? ya buns son.
but i digress...
this is a pretty serious accusation for 2 reasons:
1. 4 absences would mean that after 1 more, i fail the class
2. at the beginning of the semester, teachers HAVE to report attendance to financial aid so they can be sure you're actually attending school and not just cashing their checks.
i could have my financial aid revoked because this nut job refuses to accept that she made a mistake.
she's one of those professors that makes a huge deal out of you having to leave 10 MINUTES early for an important doctors appointment. a HUGE deal. enough of a deal to try to mark you absent for it, which im assuming is where she got absence #3 from.
fuck.that.shit.
she's one of those professors who refuse to accept that you are an adult. she treats you as if you are still in high school and need a fucking pass to go to the bathroom. but she'd really rather prefer that you don't go to the bathroom at all. its too much of a distraction to the class.
fuck.that.shit.
correction, dipshit, its too much of a distraction for you. because you are old, far too old to be teaching anymore.
if you do not notice a blonde girl with a curly faux hawk in a leopard print coat sitting in the front row raising her hand as her name is called, pointing out the passages that you have been looking for and ummmmmmmmmming about for the last 5 minutes, if you cant handle marking this person that you interact with nearly every goddamn class as in attendance, than perhaps its time to pack it in.
because your senility is playing a dangerous game with my education, my finances and my future. and should you not drop this ridiculous attendance record bullshit, which im sure you wont, it will also be wasting my time in visits and calls to the deans office and the department chair.
and as for the bathroom shit, i suggest that you and every other goddamn professor who cant handle someone quietly exiting and entering the room take a valium and get the fuck over it. or maybe a ritalin. might help keep your focus.
colleges really need to keep a better eye on their professors, especially after the age of 60, since im pretty sure the tuition im paying isnt for someones grandma to fail me during the first month of the semester because she forgot to take her pills that day.

http://understand-pedophilia.tumblr.com/
As a psychology major at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, I hope to help criminals, particularly juveniles, with and without mental illness because despite my fuck off attitude I do have a great deal of empathy for my fellow man and believe that rehabilitation is possible for some. I do not however have any empathy for pedophiles. I stumbled upon this tumblr via a girl I follow whose goal is apparently to work with pedophiles and rehabilitate them (good luck with that). Reading the opening post, I couldn't stop my eyes from bulging or shaking my head, enraged at the balls of its author and the tumblr creator. Lets dissect this amazing piece of literature, shall we?
"In the 1930s and ’40s, castration was practiced in California, where sex offenders and homosexuals received this “treatment.”
-Take out the castrating homosexuals part and you've got my platform for public office.
"Also, the first generation of sexual psychopath laws was passed during this time, mandating indefinite commitment for sexually violent predators."
-Interesting...go on...
"These days, the pendulum continues to swing further toward the punitive end of the spectrum, with ever more draconian sentencing and postrelease conditions. Under the federal Adam Walsh Child Protection Act, signed into law by President Bush in July, all sex offenders will be listed on the Internet, making information on offenders, regardless of whether they belong to a low-, medium- or high-risk category, publicly accessible; this includes people, for example, whose only crime is the possession of child pornography."
-Only child pornography...just let that linger for a minute...Okay, welcome back. You're goddamn right ALL sex offenders are listed on the internet, as they motherloving should be. We as adults have a duty to protect the children in our lives & communities from any dangers that are present, and have a right to any information that can aid us in doing so. Accessibility to these records as opposed to other types of criminals, say for instance murderers, is to me more important because these types of offenders have a specific victim: children. The recidivism rate amongst pedophiles in particular is very high and although there are treatment options available, it is generally thought to be an incurable disorder. So yeah, we want to know when there's one nearby.
"Obviously, this makes it increasingly difficult for ex-offenders to obtain residences or jobs — the mainstays of stability — and it subjects them to ongoing vigilantism and public censure. Although notification may make sense for some, it does not make sense for all."
-If an employer wants to run a background check or fingerprint you, they will find out if you have a criminal record, regardless of its existence on the internet. Just ask any other convicted criminal who has an "increasingly difficult" time obtaining that "mainstay of stability". As for obtaining a residence, sorry bro, maybe you should call the guy who wrote this article. Maybe he needs a live in nanny, I dunno. As we saw earlier, this guy is all NBD about the "less serious" types of offenses, like kiddie porn, so I'm sure thats the type of notification hes referring to. Lets read on and find out...
"In California, the most recent debate has been over whether Proposition 83, the law passed last year banning registered sex offenders from living within 2,000 feet of a school or park, can be retroactively applied to the 90,000 offenders who have already been released from prison. (Two federal judges ruled last month that it may not.)"
-This article was apparently written in 2007, as the law he's referring to, Jessicas law, was passed in 2006 (there was only 1 federal judge who ruled that it could not be applied, by the way and that decision was overturned 3 months later by another judge) and then, a few years later...
In 2010, the Supreme Court of California ruled that the residency requirements of Jessica's Law could be applied retroactively.
Yeahhhhhh, Supreme Court just got all up in yo face and banned your ass from San Francisco entirely (due to the high number of schools).
"What is being created is a class of individuals that is progressively demonized by society and treated in such a way that a meaningful reintegration into society is impossible."
-Mmmm yes, your boner for sex offenders is palpable, I can taste the tears streaming from your dick hole.
Get the fuck over it bud. These dudes and ladies are never going to live their crimes down. Ever. This is god damn America and were not cool with that shit. Ever. Meaningful reintegration? Fuck that. We dont want them back.
"Yes, sexual abuse is a serious matter. Yes, individuals who commit sexual crimes should be punished."
-Does anyone else picture the author doing the jerk off motion while he writes this?
"Unquestionably, a small percentage of sex offenders are very dangerous and must be removed from society. What’s more, we know that sexual crimes are devastating to victims and their families and that we must do all we can to protect ourselves from “predators.”
"But demonizing people rather than treating them makes little sense, and passing laws that are tough but mindless in response to political pressure won’t solve the problem either."

A Revelation for the Nation
Have you ever frequented a Chinese restaurant in NYC or visited Chinatown and wondered "What in the f is that smell? Its putrid, yet familiar, but I just cant put my finger on it!"? Of course you have. Well folks, look no further because I have finally solved this age old mystery of stomach churning, rage inducing, lo mein-craving-killing stink.
Tonight on my ride home from school on the good ol' LIRR (which will get its own bible of bitching transcribed as we go along here), I was *this* close to not being squished into the window by another commuter. The doors were closing, that beep sound was beeping, and I was about to take hold of my ample ball space when a man of Asian descent sat down next to me. I soon realized that he was actually Chinese, as I'm taking Mandarin this semester and could read some of the characters on his iPhone and make out a few words in his conversation. Due to sheer annoyance, I did not at first notice anything odd about him. No, it wasn't until he scrunched up next to me to get his wallet out of his back pocket that I noticed the old familiar stench.
And then, as if the power of Christ himself compelled me, I realized:
Chinese men smell like my tampon after 8 hours of heavy flow.
To the guys reading this,
just trust me.
To the ladies,
youre welcome for this Aha! moment. Im like a racist Oprah, bitch.
If that didnt weed out the gays, I dont know what will.

Well hello
While speeding in my obnoxiously loud car to McDonalds for a Q.P. with cheese to be inhaled whilst smoking a cigarette, it became clear to me that there is really only one way to introduce myself to you:
I'm an asshole, and I'm proud of it. Nice to meet me.
