I had a history of cysts (I have endometriosis and they can coexist). My doctor fobbed me off and prescribed me painkillers which I did not take. She then told me to suck it up if I wouldn’t take the opiods. Turns out that I had a cyst burst and developed a raging infection in the time that it took me to go to the ER…

Also wanna add that ovarian cysts can be difficult to diagnose because it doesn’t affect cisgender men’s bodies. My friend had pelvic pain last September, went to urgent care, and was sent home, being told that was probably kidney stones. It took another 2 months for it to be properly diagnosed, and then another 2…

I had extreme pain at 14 (like my mom stopping the car so I could throw up from the pain on the way to the hospital levels) and went to the ER about it. Once there, the doctor told me, after ordering no ultrasound or CT scan, that I was overweight and ovulating and that if I lost weight, the pain wouldn’t be so bad.…

Tramples on States rights. On. States. Rights.

If possible, I buy broccoli with big, fat stems. I cut off the crown and split it into florets. For the stem I trim off the dry end and use a vegetable peeler to remove the woody bark on the outside. Once you hit the pale green core, you will find delicious broccoli flavored treats. Sometimes I cook them with the…

Ok, I’ve got to ask where you are shopping at. Average steak price near me is $20 for a pair of sirloins. If you can pull off $50 a week per person or less drop us a menu and how to. I am all ears. Also this is not sarcasm or being asinine. I’m genuinely curious.  

What’s amazing is that a whole chicken can provide not just a nice meal but also a carcass to make a pot of stock / soup from, too, w/all the bits of meat left on.

It’s about generating outrage and scoring points with the base it’s not about things like democracy or polling.

And for those who don’t see the equivalence: he has agenetic abnormality that basically makes him fatigue way less, but nobody tried to regulate him out of the sport. 

That thing will be totally overrun by spam accounts using stolen pictures of models to trick conservatives into handing over money within 6 months. 

Rice is surprisingly expensive here in Japan compared to other countries, despite the fact that there’s so many rice farms. You’re looking at around $15-$20+ for a 5kg bag, it’s often cheaper to buy imported rice from the U.S. Which is just perfect, since “America” when written using Chinese characters, is “rice…

Something missing here: “Find a cheap store”. I live in Seattle, close to its southern edge, and have nearby options for expensive stores like Whole Foods as well as very inexpensive markets that sell deeply discounted products. Cheap stuff includes surplus and generic items as well as less-desirable produce. On…

catsnstuff, you’re comments were on point... rant on (please)...

Yeah, I take issue with this article’s assertion that no one leveled accusations about this relationship being a performance piece at Kanye. EVERYONE called it out for what it was for him: A very public way for him to harass Kim and try to make her jealous. He clearly deliberately did all of this to show Kim that she…

Totally fair points. You’re not overreacting at all. 

Ugh I really hate that any criticism I might have towards another woman must be evidence of internal misogyny. There's nothing wrong with ambition, climbing the ladder, etc, but that doesn't mean I have to approve of the "any means necessary" type climb. I'm poor and frankly, I could be a millionaire by suing (or just…

The Porizkova thing is kind of puzzling. On the one hand, I like that she is speaking out about the terrible ageism in her industry and in society in general. On the other hand, she posts these gorgeous, well-lit photos of herself on Instagram and acts as if what she is doing is incredibly “brave,” and I’m just…

You know, body positivity and acceptance would go a long way if women like Christie Brinkley and Paulina Porizkova would stop presenting themselves as something hideous and outside of beauty norms. Both of these women remain conventionally attractive so I’m not sure why I’m supposed to think they’re “courageous” for…

This isn’t being taken seriously because the cartoonish on-screen and influencer aspects of these people’s lives have rendered them non-people in terms of public opinion. This doesn’t “mirror” real life, it is real life.
