September 27, 2009 | 104 Comments

Yesterday, I tweeted to hear your thoughts on bisexuality.

September 23, 2009 | 25 Comments

Yesterday, I caught the story of Shiloh Pepin on Oprah. Shiloh’s legs are fused together, and she has no vagina or anus. To relieve herself, Shiloh excretes waste into bags through two holes that doctors made in her body. Each and every day, Shiloh takes a full cocktail of pills and medications.
