CF messes with all the mucus membranes in the body, so a lot dudes with CF are “shooting blanks” and unable to conceive

As a Youth™ who uses swiping apps occasionally, it is incredibly painful, but that might just be because I’m moderately awkward, generally anti-social, and incredibly queer.

When LGBTQ+ people are no longer being widely under/misrepresented and being oppressed? Like I do GAF because I’m queer and 12 year old me would have really benefited from seeing positive queer representation at a young age other than literally just Ellen. Also how are going to say that a person being trans doesn’t…

Exactly, like there have always been shippers. People wanted Scully and Mulder to be together, people wanted Laurie and Jo from Little Women to be together. It’s literally a phenomenon as old as the concept of romantic love.

I loved the non-traditional heroes in the sense that I loved muggle dude. Great way to explain details to the audience, great actor, super funny and easy to root for, A+. I hated that Newt Scamander was allegedly a genius animal wrangler but too dumb to tie a goddamn string around his suitcase to keep his dangerous…

I love Rag Tag Box for it’s fun subversive kits. I was so proud of the uterus one because it was the first thing I kind of designed on my own. I used a uterus pattern I bought on Etsy and combined it with a free font to design the lettering.

Oo my hands down favorite in middle school was definitely Maximum Ride by James Patterson (only the original trilogy counts). It was an early arriver to the trendy/edgy young adult novels, so it doesn’t contain as many of the intense cliches but it is certainly not perfect.

Hi, I also take BC for intense depression around my period! My PMS would start two weeks before my period and I would not be able to do anything during that time. The way my RN described how the BC would help me is that it seemed that I was very sensitive to the hormone progesterone which is released at the end of the…

I’m working on a St. Patrick’s Day themed cross stitch from Rag Tag Box even though it’s already late. I love how the little four leaf clovers look and I’m definitely going to have to borrow them for a later design. My favorite completed project is this uterus cross stitch I made for my sorority’s White Elephant gift…

Wow I was literally going to comment that modern domestic sheep are to like wild rams what shih tzus are to wolves but now I’m just sad :(

Elayne Angel is literally one of the most famous piercers ever who was especially well known/respected like 10-15 years ago, probs when Lenny was pierced. It’s pretty hidden by that glorious bush, but it looks like it’s right where his dick hits his body where there is normally kind of folds happening.

I was just referring to your last sentence, I definitely understood your goal and I'm glad you succeeded :D

Actually, if your goal is to lose weight in particular, it definitely can hurt because these are essentially starvation diets which slow down your metabolism if you do them habitually as your body starts to conserve energy. If you want to lose weight, you need healthy reasonable lifestyle changes, not quick extreme…

Literally what I came here to say. She came forward and basically was like "we dated when we were little kids and this is real weird"

Ah, I get you.

Sorry, but genitals are gross, the same way mouths are gross and bellybuttons are gross. Sure, mouths are awesome for sex and talking and eating and feeding your toddler like a baby bird if you choose to do so, but they get thrush and tonsil stones and I personally have a reservoir of bacteria on the back of my tongue…

I had a similar knee-jerk reaction to this, but I think at least part of the author's point was that these methods were gentler and therefore didn't lead to the constant cycle of BV to yeast infection to BV etc. I totally agree that the whole holistic bullshit goes too far, but I think it's not like she was advocating…

Wasn't that a woman who had a severely deviated septum, though? I feel like in context it made sense, because her nose had been broken multiple times and she got sinus headaches all the time.

This hits home for me right now, I have a paternal aunt who is undergoing treatment for ovarian cancer (last chemo treatment super soon, she responded well to treatment, so yay!) and she tested positive for the BRCA gene. My dad has to get tested before my sister or I will be, since it would be unnecessary if he's…

Ha, mine is not even really funny but goddammit this is the first time I've seen a thread that gave me an opportunity to share this clusterfuck.
