I was aware of the risks, but I wasn’t aware of my partner’s feelings. So my issue was more interpersonal than with the method per se. I was very educated about fertility awareness, but I wasn’t very educated about good communication.

I was tracking ovulation, discharge and temperature in an app that was predicting my fertility with that data. 

I want to clarify that my partner knew I was doing fertility awareness he just didn’t realize how high the failure rate was. I’d always had really clockwork periods and I hated taking BC, so I was doing one of the apps listed above. During my fertile days we would use a condom or more likely have non-P-in-V sex. I’m a…

Fertility awareness got me pregnant. I was in a pregnancy is nbd place but hadn’t really explained the risks of this method with my partner. I ended up getting an abortion when it became clear that he wasn’t ready. After that I got an IUD.

After giving away his dad’s sword... I think Sam is a gonner. Maybe Gilly writes the story?

No, she survived.

HOW is she only 36? 

It’s almost like this passage was written specifically to condemn the very thing this woman did! If only she had read the Bible!

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father…

I’m glad this article brought up not only disparities in admissions but also outcomes. We should also highlight the disparities w/r/t college loan debt as well. Higher Education (that white liberal bastion) is truly next to mass incarceration in terms of fueling racial and economic inequality in the U.S.

You probably have a bad sense of smell. Sponges smell. They are full of bacteria. 

Amanda Knox was forced to implicate her boss. The tactics the cops used on her are the same that are used to force confessions from POC on a daily basis. And don’t even with the whole Guede thing. Dude murdered that woman. Read some facts about the case. smh.

I went to college with a girl who was on his “street team” (a cadre of fan promoters) in the early aughts. She described a weirdly familial relationship with him at the time that seemed odd for a huge star.

This shouldn’t be a cautionary tale about anything other that abusive parenting. Neglect is a form of abuse! And I think the mother at least was aware of what was going on. Oh, AND the mom didn’t confess the affair until AFTER she started making money off the story. 

Did my Mom write that?
