I never hate people, but I can honestly say right now that I hate Mitch Daniels with every fiber of my being.
Please call or email Governor Mitch Daniels TODAY and urge him to veto HB 1210, which defunds Planned Parenthood in the state of Indiana. It doesn’t take long. If passed, we will become the first state to end Medicaid coverage for Planned Parenthood.
It’s really cheesy because there were a lot of things I HAD to include in it. It’s for a fake business obviously, but it’s my first “real” website. I learned a lot doing it. There are so many more things I wanted to do, but I’ve only had a semester to learn HTML and CSS. All in all, I’m pretty proud of myself.
Oh and I’m a slacker so I made it in 24 hours instead of working on it all semester like everyone else.
sometimes the best response is none.
dangit. i really want my bangs back but i’ve spent the past year and a half growing them out. plus this is the worst time of year to get them because i hate bangs in the summer. but i love them so much. but i hate styling them.
man, my life is SOOOO hard.
Governor Mitch Daniels,
I am writing you, as an Indiana woman who receives reproductive healthcare from Planned Parenthood. Yesterday, the Indiana Senate did a disservice to women across the state by passing HB 1210. At this moment, I am ashamed to call myself a Hoosier. I do not want to live somewhere that is could be known as “the first state to end Medicaid coverage for Planned Parenthood services.”
The bill is riddled with medically inaccurate and unverified information. There is no connection between infertility and a routine first trimester abortion. However, 50% of preventable infertility cases are caused by sexually transmitted diseases. These are the exact STDs for which Planned Parenthood provides testing and treatment. A study in 2005 revealed that fetuses do not feel pain until the third trimester, 26 weeks to be exact. 96% of abortions performed in Indiana are before 13 weeks. The National Cancer Institute has said there is no line between breast cancer and abortion. No taxpayer money is used to fund abortions. Why is a House Bill allowed to be made up of false claims and made up statistics? I would think only verifiable facts would be used as support for something that affects so many people.
Supporters of this bill insist there are other affordable places to receive these treatments. Are they as accessible as Planned Parenthood? As non-threatening? As committed to allowing Hoosiers to make their own well informed reproductive decisions? I think not. Planned Parenthood is one of the few places a woman can go for a pregnancy test and not have an agenda, religious or otherwise, forced on her.
If these funds are cut from Planned Parenthood, it could potentially cost the State of Indiana an additional $68 million in Medicaid costs. Not only would HB 1210 erect further barriers to women obtaining abortions, but by barring Planned Parenthood of Indiana from receiving government funding, this legislation is likely to result in an increase in the number of unintended pregnancies in Indiana.
If you want to decrease the number of abortions in Indiana, go to the root of the problem: unintended pregnancies. As someone who grew up attending Indiana public schools, I can assure you the sexual education offered is greatly lacking.
I am a college student with a 3.2 GPA, and I am so thankful that Planned Parenthood has allowed me to pursue an education without the worry of accidental pregnancy. They provide me with regular screenings, contraception, and my right to PLAN my parenthood. That, Mr. Daniels, is priceless. I urge you to veto House Bill 1210, and protect the 22,000 Hoosiers who are patients of Planned Parenthood. Don’t take away my reproductive healthcare.
Sincerely,
Chanie Mobley
i spent the day doing homework and listening to mozart in the hopes it would increase my brainpower. the music didn’t help, and neither did this migraine i’ve had all day. it’s 6PM, and i am going to put on my pajamas, snuggle with my dogs, watch movies, and pretend school doesn’t exist.
It always sails my ship how obvious insecurities shine out of those who make judgments of others. Being critical (not to be confused with being observant) of someone in any way is a direct correlation to something one lacks in his or her own life. It does not have to be completely connected to the criticism, but will always act as a form of expressing a negative emotion about ones self or situation. (So, if someone makes a negative judgment about another person’s shirt, it doesn’t always mean they are sad/pissed/annoyed because they don’t own the shirt… I hope this makes sense!) In the past couple of months, my patience with such folks has been worked, worked and then worked overtime. But- I am proud of myself for keeping my personality true and my “Show Them Kindness” attitude in order to avoid absorbing their unfortunate negativity. And when I think I might blow up, I remember how sad it is that the way I greet with a “Hey Girl” or the way I dress or my sense of humor affects YOU, the judgmental one, so much that it changes your mood and you carry it with you and possibly complain to someone else about it. I am so sorry you let me/others bother you the way you do. And when you make judgments, try to remember it might be you who has something to change… Another bit of advice I would like to leave is a quote from Neale Donald Walsch: “When you see the utter perfection in everything - not just those things with which you agree, but (and perhaps especially) those things with which you disagree - you achive mastery” I write this not with forethought of saying I have not had my moments. We would all be liars to say we have never make judgments about someone or something. I write this because the people I have encountered are not aware of their judgmental behavior that others and I have ‘put up with’. I find this particularly sad.
Remember that one time when teachers, public employees, Planned Parenthood, NPR, and PBS crashed the stock market, wiped out half of our 401K savings, took TRILLIONS in TARP funds, spilled oil in the Gulf of Mexico, gave themselves billions in bonuses, and then paid zero taxes?
Yeah, me neither.
i feel like i have a billion things to say to a million different people. only, i honestly don’t care enough to say most of them. i never wanted to be an apathetic person, yet here i am. i just honestly don’t see the point in wasting energy. it’s not that i don’t care about people, i do. i am a caring person, to a point where it’s become a fault. i love people, i love talking to them, and i love learning things about them. but lately, i find myself thinking that i would rather sit at home and read a book, or make some food, or take my dogs on a walk. i’m trying to shake this habit.
this all sounds really negative, even though life has been extremely positive lately and i feel happy. i think it’s just growing pains. everytime i feel like i have everything figured out, life comes along, knocks me over, and says “THINK AGAIN, BITCH.”
last night sara and i got sushi and drank martinis, basically acted all grown up. “ooh look at us we’re fancy grown up adult people.” buuuut we ended up back at my house drinking beer, listening to against me!, and playing with my dogs. the night left me feeling a. really happy, b. like i was 19 again, and c. like i need to immediately buy a pack of parliament lights and smoke them all in one night. (i didn’t of course, because i’m a responsible adult who quit smoking.)
so the point of this is, uhhh…

Blustering through the world with the finesse of a thunderstorm, you are a natural leader, a creator of consensus. You will often plan out the future in deliberate and at times frustrating detail. This ability to create and to plan is sometimes expressed as a facility for the telling of tall tales.Your friends often find themselves assigned tasks or roles within the group. This can be very useful when action is called for and equally annoying when the idea at hand is rest and relaxation. When challenged, however, you can become cold and argumentative. Your understanding of the world is deliberate and well thought out. Your emotion comes in two varieties, either restrained and sincere, or else melodramatic and loud and usually inauthentic. Affection for you is best expressed through action, by doing things for the people you care about. This need to always be proactive can lead you to feel that there is no end to the trouble in your life.
That thing is weird. I don’t understand the questions, who made this!?
