Yes, I thought it was hilarious, and as someone who was kind of a goody two shoes nerd (not quite to the extent of Molly and Amy, though Molly reminded me a lot of my younger sister), I could certainly relate to a lot of it. I couldn’t relate to the fact that so many kids in their school got into highly selective…

It can happen for quite a few reasons. Except for the medication being in your system, medical abortions and miscarriages can look very similar, so a woman having a miscarriage could be mistaken for getting an abortion at first.

Hi, I’m wondering about the best ways to keep myself safe while my immune system is suppressed. I did a series of 4 rituxan infusions last month and am also taking prednisone for an acute kidney illness (though I am tapering off the steroids, currently at 30 mg/day, going down to 20 mg/day next Friday, and slowly…

And yet somehow, he’s leading in the polls, ugh!!! Granted, this far out, the poll results may not matter that much, but it’s still frustrating.

I also just want to plug that if you feel like something strange is going on with your kidneys and/or bladder, but you’re not quite sure if it’s a UTI (or if tests come back negative), see if the doctor will run other tests. My case is pretty dramatic, but I went to the doctor earlier this year for what I thought was…

Yeah, this is just one example, but there’s a food hall in NYC that has just lumps all the private stalls together and has no urinals. I’ve never felt unsafe using it, and with public bathrooms being hard to find in NYC, I’m not going to be picky. 

And because if they get Instagram famous enough, they can make a career out of sponcon.

I love Hamilton, but I also feel like generally, broadway musical cast recordings are not good playlist ideas unless everybody listening to said playlist is enthusiastically onboard.

Leading up to the 2000 presidential election, I made the mistake of telling my friends that my parents were thinking about voting for Al Gore. Because 10 year olds probably don’t understand the concept of abortion that well, or because their parents were straight up telling them lies to beat anti-abortion thoughts…

My undergrad doesn’t have a Greek system, and it’s one of the reasons I liked the student life so much. Instead, all students are sorted into their dorms Harry Potter style and are affiliated with that dorm the entire time they’re in college, even if they live off campus. Sure, students still self segregate,…

Just wanted to mention that while technically, I don’t think people are allowed to ask you to swipe them into a subway station, swiping people into the station is allowed, so if you see someone who looks like they could use a swipe, consider doing so! I have a monthly unlimited, so it doesn’t cost me any extra money…

On the one hand, it’s probably important for a presidential candidate to not be too nice and let people walk all over them. However, I don’t think a boss being abusive towards their direct reports is the same thing as being assertive/tough, but fair. 

I mean, there certainly are atheists who can be very obnoxious about their beliefs, but most of us kind of just want to go about our lives without people giving us a hard time for not being religious or thinking we’re not capable of being good because we don’t believe in god?

The plot sounds a bit similar to a book I read called The Book of the Unnamed Midwife, where a pandemic kills mostly women and children, and pregnant women in particular are vulnerable (and if they survive to give birth, the babies are often stillborn and then the woman dies). However, a large part of the book focuses…

Based on what some of my relatives have said, she’s certainly not the first Latinx person to give white people a pass for being racist so she can get accepted into the white people, “Please don’t think I’m an overly sensitive minority crying racism,” fold.

Yeah, though there are so many different strains of HPV that the vaccines really only cover the more dangerous ones. I once heard an OBGYN call HPV the common cold of the vagina, just because of how extremely like it is that you’ll get at least one strain of it, even if you’re vaccinated. 

Me every week: This is boring, why do I keep watching this stupid show?!

Did you camp in an area that didn’t have any bears? This wasn’t Girl Scouts, but I went on a 5 day backpacking trip during spring my first year of college, and at least 2 other women and me all started our periods on the drive up to Big Bend National Park. During the prep before we left for the trip, our guide…

I just remembered how someone I went to high school with refused to watch The Day After Tomorrow. Not because it was objectively terrible, but because she thought it was blasphemous, because God would never let something like climate change ruin the US, nope. He’d take care of us and keep the Earth safe.

Or at least if you live in NYC, have a low enough salary that you and everyone in your immediate social circle can’t afford to get in on the trend.
