My bday present from my mum and step-dad was a tailor's bust!! So that I can continue to make pretty lolita outfits even when I'm too sick to get dressed. ^^;

How to Dance Goth

Now combine all of those, add more dramatic flourishes with your hands, and perform them to something mournful in 3/4 time (waltz time), and you will have how the StuntHusband and I dance. Also, we (unintentionally!) mirror each other's movements all the time, but that's because we've been going to clubs together for over 20 years now. 

CHEESUS…

now you know the secret of my dance.

God I miss Goth clubs…

Oh god, this is so accurate it hurts. GEEKGIRLSMASH, you will love this!!

THIS IS THE BEST THING!!!!

Also, the extent of my dancing abilities…

Aw, I miss goth clubs.

Last Thursday, I went on FX's Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell and tried to explain rape culture in a few 15-second sound bytes (fun stuff—if you've never tried it, RUN-DON'T-WALK).

I think plus sized lolitas look great. I wish people didn't shame them for such petty reasons.

How To Identify Crisis Pregnancy Centers

Crisis pregnancy centers, or pregnancy resource centers, disguise themselves as medical facilities, but usually have no licensed doctors, nurses or counselors. They often appear under "Abortion Alternatives," and may have names similar to abortion clinics nearby in order to confuse patients into entering their buildings instead of the real clinics.

Once you enter a CPC, their mission is to prevent you from getting an abortion at any cost. They will use misleading language, delay tactics, emotional manipulation, intimidation, and outright lies to either persuade you against abortion or to make you miss your appointment. The worst part? It's all completely legal and funded by federal dollars.

CPCs do their best to appear as legitimate abortion clinics, so how can you tell which is which? Here is a list of red flags for CPCs:

• The words "crisis" or "resource" appear in the center's name
• Their ads use language like "Pregnant & Scared?"
• They offer free pregnancy tests and ultrasounds
• When asked if they provide abortions or contraception, they will not give a direct answer
• The waiting room has biased pamphlets, sometimes with graphic pictures labeled as abortions
• They attempt to make you feel guilty about considering abortion
• They offer baby items, such as diapers and formula
• They downplay the effectiveness of contraception and emphasize abstinence
• They emphasize the dangers of abortion (Fact: fewer than 0.3% of patients experience complications requiring hospitalization)
• They discuss the false connections between abortion and breast cancer, infertility, or mental illness, often referred to as post-abortion stress syndrome
• Regardless of how you talk about the pregnancy, they refer to "your baby," the "preborn child," "post-abortive women," and say that you are "already a mother."

Beware of Fake Clinics

Crisis Pregnancy Centers: An Affront to Choice

CPC Warning Stickers

A list of licensed abortion clinics in the United States can be found on the Abortion Assistance Blog.

Most people think that these clinics are rare, but they are NOT. Odds are, if there is a Planned Parenthood (regardless of if they perform abortions) on a street, look around, because there will probably also be at least ONE of these. For example, at my Planned Parenthood, there are TWO. And at an abortion clinic in a nearby city, there are THREE of these within site of the abortion clinic's building (which thankfully has ABORTION AND CONTRACEPTION painted on the side of it in enormous block letters which they did because of these CPCs).

Another little fact about these places: Because there are often no licensed or certified medical professionals that work at these clinics, they are not obligated to maintain patient confidentiality. And, in fact, they use this as a way to scare and manipulate the people who enter their "clinics" into doing what they want by threatening to call the person's family or parents. 

When people who work at or support these places and tell you this is not true, they are lying or they are not aware of the tactics the staff use. The above post by bebinn is very accurate. These places lie, they blackmail people, they harass people, they trick people into thinking they are legitimate medical facilities, and they do so with very little interference because the victims that enter are often too scared after their encounter to report what happened to them.

There have been stories reported by women who have gone into these places and been harassed. Such as one woman who went to a CPC and was then sent a birthday card splattered with red paint in the mail for YEARS after her abortion to remind and shame her for it.

Love,

Rabble

"You don't have a reason to to be depressed."

Think about that a minute…

Really. Think about it. 

If I don't have a reason but I still am deeply depressed then shouldn't that tell you something about my mental condition? It's like someone is waving a big red flag there and you are missing it.
