I tickle my babies’ hands until they clasp. Easier than feeling for breath.

Me too and I picture myself doing this even when they are in their 20s. Why wouldn’t you???

That’s what’s doubly terrible. If it happens on your watch, you at least know that it was unavoidable. But if someone else was watching them, you will torture yourself for the rest of your life over what you should have done instead of leaving them with that person.

It’s horrifying. I had to leave my kids at daycare at 4 and 6 months and the worry is terrible. Luckily my provider is the type to point out freckles to me and recommend I get them checked. She and her assistant would never have failed to check a baby behaving oddly, or even just sleeping soundly. I consider myself so…

Celiac can be that sensitive, and the consequences of just one incident can be devastating. It’s for this reason that the people I’ve known who have celiac disease generally do not eat out beyond salads.

YOU CAN STILL GET PREGNANT YOU KNOW AND IT WAS OBVIOUSLY YOUR DECISION TO DO SO SINCE YOU CHOSE TO HAVE SEX.

Yeah that’s not a great reason to dismiss the instructions. I myself might have assumed it was like, ok, the blue ones are this strong and the other ones are less strong or whatever but it all makes sense if I just take them as instructed. Like why would you just say, no, I’ll do this my way...

A pharmaceutical company is not likely to unilaterally say “woops, our bad, here, let me help you with the difficulties you are facing, to a reasonable extent”. They have to be sued. So they are suing. Good.

My birth control failed and I had a kid. But I didn’t sit down and make that decision until I was actually faced with it. When you use a bc method with 99% accuracy, that most women you know have used successfully for many years, you feel pretty well covered - it’s not a moment of reckoning like a positive pregnancy…

I once had a friend ask me why a girl shouldn’t be held more responsible for making sure she doesn’t get pregnant, since she’s the one who gets pregnant and therefore she should understand the risk more. I’m like... if she’s never been pregnant before (and this was in high school so the scenario was that she’d never…

So it’s inconsequential that the odds of getting pregnant went from 0.1% to something like 25% (basing that on other comments)? That’s ridiculous. I don’t know any woman who would choose and rely on a bc method with such a poor rate of effectiveness. That’s like screwing up someone’s radiology treatment so that it was…

Amen

Every reason is a good reason to sue a pharmaceutical company.

Ah I get it now. Never saw her show. Thanks!

what is this

Ah thank you I know that one can’t believe I didn’t remember it.

Well the whole campaign is just performance art right? In which case, this is beautiful.

While you’re all at it, could someone explain what Mindy is referring to?

Wait which bit is that from?

How so? He coulda said disguise but either way it’s not derogatory.
