Agreed, especially in the last five minutes. Like, we all know you’re going to make it. That last frog you ate head first was gratuitous.

I’m a little disappointed in WA...we’re usually so on point with the bestiality.

Purely obnoxious FYI, we learn in med school vascular is associated with berry aneurysms in the brain. But that’s rare. And agreed, it’s just generally dangerous to be walking around with vascular ED while pregnant. Seems like there’s really no healthy reason she’d have to leave :( this is awful

Co-signed. Although now it makes me sad, I LOVED that place as a kid. It’s where buffaloes lick you through windows and you can wave at bears.

Well, some of that is just the nature of stage 3 vs. stage 4 of the trial process for pharmaceuticals. They approve after stage 3, testing in a large population of affected women , which is evaluating efficacy. They look at some drug interactions there, but it’s not a humongous population. The point is to show a…

This. And so much of that was among physicians, too. Not just people who had heard something in the news. It took 30+ years for safe IUDs to be recommended for adolescents, etc. It would be major setback if this divebombs and everyone gets that attitude it’s too risky/complicated/dangerous...even if it’s just this one…

I’ve started calling my DivaCup my Beaver Cup after a miscommunication with my mom, and now it’s even better to use.

Gonorrhea and chlamydia are both purulent...pus-forming, mmm. Especially in the dudes.

My mother is a science teacher. I think she would rather die than know I had published a chart that obfuscates the data it’s attempting to portray.

Agreed. We also don’t even have lights on most rural highways in LA (or most of the south it seems). They probably couldn’t see smoke, so it could’ve just looked like any other abandoned wreck on the side of the highway.

Amen to that. I feel like a couple years in our high-consumption society is enough to brainwash the best of us. I remember meeting a friend in college who still bought Hane’s 6 packs of cotton underwear and being shocked. Like, talked to other people about it, shocked. Her parents had just always bought them, acted…

Happy birthday! It’s my birthday too! And I’m currently sitting with a cat who don’t give a shit.

Seriously, and even with that role reversal we would still have to be able to participate in a discussion about the mass of cells with half of our genes, not assign “veto” powers that make men an executive branch without checks and balances that can override our decisions...so we could filibuster the shit out of that…

Did anyone else estimate calorie counts in 8th grade science by burning peanuts? That’ll make you a skeptic/smell terrible really quick.

NOPE.

THIS WEATHER. Oy.

Scurvy’s a bitch when you spend a jillion dollars on snail slime skin treatments...

Seriously. This actually looks like my typical grocery haul for one person when I’m feeling motivated to cook...and it lasts me like 1-2 days tops because I get hungry and grumpy when I eat like that and binge eat a half pound of beans with hot sauce at 3 AM. Is that for her family too? Do they each get a lime to suck…

My manatee encounter: When I was 8 I was visiting family south of Sarasota, and we had all headed to the beach to get skin cancer. My mother was doing laps contentedly out in the deeper water with my aunt while I was frolicking unattended in the shallows probably almost drowning, when all of a sudden I saw a giant…

"In a shocking Pew poll today, nearly 100% of women having abortions felt that it was an essential medical service that should be legally protected. And 100% of white male republican congressman did not."
