I am not a nurse, but can I give a huge shout-out to all the nurses who work in NICUs? Because you ladies and gentlemen are the epitome of grace under pressure and I don’t think you can possibly know how much you mean to the parents and family members of the babies you care for.

I said well-being. My well-being is certainly considered lower priority in a society that keeps trying to limit my ability to make decisions about my own reproductive health, continues to do little to stem the rape rates and leaves many rape kits untested, all while engaging primarily in victim-blaming media patterns,…

Of note, this (very small) study was based on interviews with women ages 30-55. Specifically young women are likely to delay getting help — possibly because for most women in their 30s heart attacks aren't even a consideration.

My friends and I were about to fly from Vietnam to Thailand to stay at another friend's Bangkok flat while she was visiting her parents.
