The bodily autonomy argument was what convinced me to go from extremely pro-life to pro-choice in a matter of days. You’d have to find a way to convince me that it’s OK to use someone’s body parts without their consent to convince me to be pro-life again.
I can’t find it right now, but there’s a court case establishing that a father does not have an obligation to donate—I think it was bone marrow—to save his child’s life.
And yet we’re supposed to put up with what amounts to forcible donation of our uteruses? Something’s not right there.
Tumblr, sometimes I love you.

PET PEEVE RANT AHEAD.
So I went to a bakery here in town, a rather respectable bakery, one owned by someone who had won all kinds of bakery-awards and impressive titles that make people go “Ooo. This human knows CAKES.” So I went there and bought a cookies & cream cupcake, fully expecting cupcake glory, based on all the awards and praise I had heard. And this cookies & cream cupcake was nothing more than a vanilla cupcake with cookies & cream frosting.
THIS IS NOT A COOKIES & CREAM CUPCAKE. If in one swift flick of my knife I can transform a cupcake into a plain vanilla cupcake it was nothing more than a plain vanilla cupcake to begin with. A cookies & cream cupcake would be, at the very least, vanilla cake batter with crushed up Oreos baked in it then cookies & cream frosting on top. Even better, a dark chocolate cupcake with vanilla custard filling, then cookies & cream frosting on top. But coming from a bakery that was supposedly award-winning, and renowned for its CUPCAKES, I expected better. BETTER, I SAY.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves. I don’t know why. I realize it is slightly ridiculous. But I have very high cupcake expectations, and when a baker claims to be some all-powerful force in the cupcake world, then produces these plain-ol, sad little cookies & cream LIES, well, to that person I say:

Jenn’s INSOMNIA Launch was all kinds of AWESOME! Jenn had a hilarious and honest presentation about dreams versus reality, answered questions, gave away some kick-ass swag, and did a signing. Plus, CAKE.
If you weren’t able to make it out for the event, INSOMNIA is available NOW in bookstores everywhere! This dark & twisty thriller will keep you up well past your bedtime (appropriate, no?). GO. GET IT. NOW.
If for some reason you aren’t near a bookstore AND didn’t make it out for this event, I have a signed copy of INSOMNIA in my possession. And I will be giving it away soon. VERY soon. So stay tuned for a giveaway of INSOMNIA proportions!
