I am in the same boat. My neurologist was clear — "no hormones" but my Gyn said "low-dose" hormones should be that bad. I get the Mirena IUD, things are good for a couple of years until I start getting insane migraines and treatment resistant depression. For months the doctors swore it was "in my head" then low and…

Holy fuck! I am so conflicted. That cat is HUGE. However, oddly cuddly. I mean I know it would probably murder me and my entire family in a fit of rage after I buy the wrong brand of cat food, but its sooo pretty.

Versace! Versace! Versace! Medusa head like I'm Illumnati!

Thank you, for saying this! Every time there is a post about Beyonce's stage attire or dance moves, people seem to forget that she is a dancer. She is wearing what 99.9% of what most professional dancers wear with variations bc well, she can. All the uproar over Beyonce's performance at the Grammys was so…

I so want to believe that the Jezebel commentariat is "refined" but then I see entire threads debating the definition of racism by relying upon Webster's and Urban Dictionary definitions. I am getting flashbacks to senior seminars from high school. I would expect people to be more well-read (before I get piled on…

Eddie Murphy's daughters, Bria and Shane, are STUNNING. Damn, they are the perfect blend of their dad and mom (although a bit more mom than dad).

Well, per the Hobby Lobby decision, that may no longer be the case. Insurance may cover the cost of insertion but may still consider the actual device as a "medical device." The most expensive element is the actual device. Also, as noted downthread, the ACA requires coverage of one (1) form of BC not all. IUDs are…

Part of the issue is that many insurance companies refuse to pay for their insertion (it is considered a "medical device"). I just had my Mirena removed. My issues with Mirena were largely rooted in the fact that me + hormones = disaster. That said, once Mr. Airam79 and I finish having our family you can bet your…

I am replying to you post so it gets promoted. People need to understand that there are several different types of background checks and lien/litigation searches are not part of "standard" background checks (i.e. arrest records and credit checks) and also happen to be crazy expensive.

Thank you for the link. Stannis definitely has a dry wit and doesn't suffer fools. Like a barnacle, he's grown on me. Which is why ***THEORY BASED ON SPOILERS*****
I am reaalllly concerned about the fate of his daughter. The show was much more ominous than the books about the "plans" for Shireen. I mean that…

While that is truly a horrible occurrence, I now cannot stop laughing. Clearly, I am going somewhere warm after my demise....

Judith Light — stuntin' on chics since the 1980s. She is so delightfully crazy in the "Dallas" re-boot!

Word. Keep up the good fight!

The pre-ordering thing (without consulting the date) is super skeevy. However, Mr. Airam79 will sometimes put in my order after consulting with me. He started doing it right after we got married because he loved calling me "his wife." I am a "card carrying" feminist (I didn't change my name, he is more than likely…

Rewind to the 1:50 mark...black cat snuggle session in full effect! Dear god, I feel like some pervy Reddit user directing someone to an upskirt shot...

Thanks for the tip! A rewind to 1:50 has me sooo jealous. I want kitteh snuggles!

Thank you — you articulated my thoughts so much more eloquently than I could. Those scenes in the books were rapes. They were subtle, nuanced and left room for doubt for those readers who couldn't admit that the scenes were rapes. The show decided to translate the scenes to be much more direct and left no room for…

Totally agreed. I am glad that you are bringing this up. Dany didn't really give consent to her initial encounters with Drogo and I think the show didn't want to really delve into the meatier discussion of what constitutes consent in that context so they went with a more ham-fisted depiction. But as a book reader, I…

I always read the Khal scene as being the product of the tremendous amount of coercion and pressure that Dany was under. Viserys and Illayrio Mopatis sold Dany to Drogo. She was told her life depended on pleasing that man. I don't know if her actions were those of enthusiastic consent but instead resignation and the…

I was just about to post the same thing. I never read this scene in the books as being 100% consensual. I don't think Cersei ever consented, she just wanted Jaime to "finish" and get over it. In the books she is clearly agitated when he finishes and she quickly tells Jaime that his dreams of them getting married…
