I was sitting in class today
and realized that instead of talking about what should happen to a woman who gets pregnant from a rape, politicians should be talking about preventing rape all together, and then i wondered why none of the politicians have thought about it that way.
The beginnings of the American Revolution, simplified
- BRITISH EMPIRE: All right, fine, your stupid embargo worked. We won’t levy any more taxes-
- AMERICAN COLONIES: Huzzah! Time to get drunk!
- BRITISH EMPIRE: Except on tea.
- AMERICAN COLONIES: What?
- BRITISH EMPIRE: Get over it, it’s just tea. Seriously, where do you get this idea that you’re special and should never have to pay taxes? We hope that idea doesn’t go on to infect your political discourse centuries from now.
- AMERICAN COLONIES: We’re not buying your stupid tea.
- BRITISH EMPIRE: Are you being serious right now? What are you going to do, just stop drinking tea?
- AMERICAN COLONIES: Yes. We’ll drink coffee.
- BRITISH EMPIRE: Do you even know what that is?
- AMERICAN COLONIES: No, but we’ve heard it’s good and we’re feeling surly.
- BRITISH EMPIRE: Fine, whatever, we don’t even care what you do anymore.
- BRITISH EAST INDIA COMPANY: Actually, we are pretty much bankrupt, so you need to make them drink the tea.
- BRITISH EMPIRE: Oh, for—just drink the tea.
- AMERICAN COLONIES: No.
- BRITISH EMPIRE: Do it.
- AMERICAN COLONIES: NO.
- BRITISH EMPIRE: Drink it.
- AMERICAN COLONIES: Fuck you.
- BRITISH EMPIRE: Drink it or we’ll punch you in the face.
- AMERICAN COLONIES: *Boston Tea Party*
- BRITISH EMPIRE: What the hell?
- AMERICAN COLONIES: We heard it was Indians.
- BRITISH EMPIRE: That’s interesting, because we heard it was a bunch of colonists wearing paint and dressed in costumes that were remarkably similar to what a crowd of drunks who wanted to look like Indians would assemble if the only supplies they had were found in an alley behind a bar.
- AMERICAN COLONIES: You get all types in Boston.
- BRITISH EMPIRE: …*Coercive Acts*
- AMERICAN COLONIES: Oh, it is ON.
Keep Purchase College's Alternative Clinic up and running! →

dyke:
Why This Is ImportantThe Alternative Clinic has been an enormous part of promoting wellness as well as a multitude of services to the female-bodied students of Purchase College. The Alternative Clinic provides an array of services to students such as: pertinent information with respect to sexual health, peer counseling, free pregnancy tests, pap smears, birth control, STI testing, free pelvic exams, and many others.
Getting enough signatures would help to ensure that the decision is overturned so that the Alternative Clinic can keep providing the students of Purchase College with the medical services they desire.
For those of you who want more information as to how this occurred:
The co-directors of the Alternative Clinic were told that because the clinic is funded by the PSGA (Purchase Student Government Association) and not the college, they (the interns and co-directors and nurse practitioner) aren’t SUNY employees so they don’t have the same protections as Health Services’ staff. The clinic interns also don’t have malpractice insurance (the nurse practitioner does, but it wouldn’t cover something like an accident in the waiting room). The clinic interns and co-directors were deemed to be too big a legal liability. The risk analysis was done by the counsel for the SUNY system. A lawyer whose job it is to protect the universities from lawsuits came and investigated the Alternative Clinic. However, the co-directors and interns were not informed of this development until their meeting with the lawyer. The lawyer referred to an “investigation” she had done, which did not include speaking to the nurse practitioner, faculty sponsor, or either co-director. The co-directors were told the investigation was part of a larger review of Health Services’ practices. The Alternative Clinic is not affiliated with Health Services, but did use their space.

I remember it like it were yesterday. I was nineteen and in community college, at the time I was with my girlfriend of four years, Annie. We loved each other very much and spent loads of time together. She even turned down admittance into Stanford to go to…
FUCKED UP.
