This was very interesting!

I use Instagram exclusively to follow food blogs. Come at me bro.

Why do people believe this?

“Vessel” (available on Netflix) covered this to an extent. They have volunteers staffing their website to communicate with women using their pills. They only seem to ship misopristol given how expensive and regulated mifepristone is, so they have women use buccal administration and spit out the excess after 30 minutes…

That is really interesting! Do you have a source for that? I’d love to use that in the future.

It seems especially weird because counseling women who call in and have chosen not to take the misoprostol is literally in one of the first videos you watch on medication abortion. Like, Planned Parenthood has its own protocols for that scenario that they approach with evidence-based care. These people have no idea…

I trust you on this one—I’m a health professional not an animal ag person. My point is only that animals are a middle man for our own bacterial inadequacy, and that a person with absorption issues is way beyond the stage of depending on that source. I think sometimes people have a false nostalgia for “natural”…

Agreed completely. The need for B12 supplementation is absolutely a product of troubling modern ag practices, but it’s also true of around 99% of meat consumed in the US.

And so am I, ironically. I’m saying eat what you like, but at 6000 mcg daily your intake from animal protein is a neglible percentage of that. My point is that any given person with pernicious anemia can be a vegan, not that you should be if you don’t want to be.

To be fair, animal products are only an important source of B12 insofar as we supplement animal feed with them, and the amount in them is low enough that essentially all people in first world countries with our level of food sanitation and agricultural antibiotics use are at risk of deficiency and should consider…

On top of everything else... She’s got the ultimate non-tattoo person set of tattoos. Randomly placed small text tattoos are not at all evident of the kind of investment in tattoos that a person getting a neck tattoo should have in order to convince an artist.

The question isn’t simply about the population, though. The question comes down to individual children and their quality of life. While the population as a whole might reduce its number of births, I do think there is a legitimate public interest in discouraging people from having children who do not demonstrate real…

Apparently abortions count to the state they take place in, so the increases in Louisiana and Michigan are both attributed to women traveling from Texas and Ohio respectively.

There’s got to be a way to have a real conversation about it, though. We have 7 billion people on the planet with no shortage in sight. You have to take more tests to drive a car, buy a home, or rent an apartment than you do to make a human being. On some level it’s a private decision, but on another creating a new…

I respect the history of reproductive restrictions enough that I can never advocate for them... But something as simple as having to register your intent to make a child would be nice. Automatic birth control of your choice starting at a young age and only having children when you certify your full desire to have one…

I just want to know why Rockstar energy drinks came out with an almond milk beverage already, but Starbucks can’t get its ass in gear to release some those delicious bottled drinks of theirs with soy or almond milk. The soy latte is a cultural meme, for gods sake!

We had a teacher that everyone CLAIMED did that and warned incoming students about, but I never once saw him behave inappropriately. The middle schoolers just didn’t like him, and that was a low blow they could go for. It also turned out that several years before he had taught material in his science classroom that…

Screw the haters. I love my vibrams.

My first date with my husband the restaurant was really crowded when we arrived, and I suggested we might want to go somewhere else. He said “It’s okay, I made reservations.” SPLOOSH.
