omg someone just unfollowed me because of the John Green thing

ThinkProgress reports: “An Oklahoma emergency room doctor refused to provide emergency contraception to a 24-year-old female rape victim because the medication violated the health provider’s personal beliefs… ‘I will not give you emergency contraceptives because it goes against my believes,’ the doctor allegedly told the rape victim and her mother, Rhonda. ‘She knew my daughter had just been raped. Her attitude was so judgmental and I felt that she was just judging my daughter.’

Oklahoma law shields providers from offering the perfectly legal medication under a ‘conscience clause’ which could significantly hinder women’s access to contraception services.”

This is sick. You might have to carry your rapist’s child because MY beliefs say so? In what universe is that OK? Whatever happened to “first, do no harm” – and I mean the living, breathing patient in front of you, not a maybe baby conceived by a rape. The religious right whines about secularism intruding into their beliefs, but what is more intrusive than forced pregnancy?

This woman was luckily able to get EC at another hospital. Other people might not be so lucky.

I’m such an old lady. I’m looking at real estate. I wish I was rich. I should play the lottery. I want to move house!

I recently went through a hoarding phase, I took up knitting and started watching Lark Rise to Candleford. Nothing wrong with being a classy old lady!

So I’ve seen a few of these pop up on my dash, and here’s my list of books I’m planning to read over the summer (along with the films and series I’d like to see in the near future).

Hey everyone, read this and tell me whether or not I should accept that course.

Did you get a place on a three or four year course? It sounds very interesting!

Whenever my brother brings my newborn nephew (or GODSON to be more precise) I want to hold it and cuddle it and sit there thinking omg you little angel you’re the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen in my entire life you even smell great and you’re about twice as pretty as all other babies I’ve ever seen god you’re cute you are PERFECT.

And the minute he’s out of the door I’m like ‘nah, I’m don’t want kids’.

Sometimes I catch myself browsing online stores actively looking for something to buy, rather than just searching for something I need. Oops.

I saw Romeo and Juliet in my hometown, but that’s it :(

I suggest we put it right by organising a theatre trip. How does early July sound?

You should watch Much Ado with Michal and I when I download it, and then we can fangirl over Tennant and Tate and Shakespeare

omg YES, I’m in, sounds like so much fun!

I actually really want to go see a Shakespeare play in real life, I’ve never had the chance to do that.

I miss being a fangirl.
