coketalk: Senator Janet Howell, Baddass Bitch of the Day To protest a bill that would require women to undergo an ultrasound before having an abortion, Virginia State Sen. Janet Howell (D-Fairfax) on Monday attached an amendment that would require men to have a rectal exam and a cardiac stress test before obtaining a prescription for erectile dysfunction medication. “We need some gender equity here,” she told HuffPost. “The Virginia senate is about to pass a bill that will require a woman to have totally unnecessary medical procedure at their cost and inconvenience. If we’re going to do that to women, why not do that to men?”

My first tattoo!  I designed it myself, a sort of stylized outline of the state of Iowa with a heart in the northeast corner—right over Decorah.  Why Decorah/Iowa, you ask?  (You and everyone else… :-P)  Well, frankly, I love Decorah.  So many great memories, experiences and milestones in my life have occured here.  And so many of the people who are important to me now are connected to Decorah in some way.  Also, I know that I’m not going to be in Decorah forever, so I wanted a way to take a little piece with me. Another great thing about this tattoo… My best friend (the infamous Paul) and I went and got our first tattoos together.  While we didn’t get matching tattoos (though it is a dream of mine to have matching tattoos with close friends and/or my sisters), we did both get tattoos that represented places and experiences that are important to us.  He got crossed sabers (a cavalry symbol) to commemorate his 8 years in the Army, while mine represents my 7 years living in Decorah.  I had such a great time and to share the experience with my best friend (whom I met in Decorah!) is something I will never forget.  Obviously.  Because tattoos are permanent.

This is what happens when I stray from line of soft butch/androgynous and do something ladylike; things spiral out of control pretty quickly.

My latest Bruce Springsteen ukulele cover.  Unfortunately, I’m still getting over a sinus infection so my voice isn’t great so I get flat and breathe funny in places and there are a lot of mistakes, but I’m cool with it.
