“And in other countries, where things are objectively worse literally everyone in terms of medical care, people embrace or at least comply with life-saving vaccines.”

Sadly, you and I are most women I know. I consider myself lucky that I had the resources (and right insurance) to be able to finally find people that could and would help. Good luck!
I don’t know why you see it as an either or proposition. I think both need to be address, intensely and simultaneously. I also think that rather than just working to suppress echo chambers and algorithms, it makes sense to investigate why people are open and susceptible to them in the first place, and address those…
I don’t think it ignores it at all. I did not expressly mention the impact of social media, because I thought what you describe is pretty much a given. I think while the social media is the “new” part, it would not be nearly so tempting and effective if treating people (especially women) “like shit” was not “par for…
Yes, I think this is the root of the problem. As a woman, I have felt consistently dismissed by doctors most of my adult life. I have found them unwilling to explore my issues, instead basically dismissing them as me being tired or depressed. Well, yes I am tired and depressed, but can you help me figure out WHY? Why…
Have you looked at spinningbabies.com? The techniques there worked for me. My baby was breech at 30 weeks, and flipped at 32. I am not sure how many resources you have in your area, but many chiropractors are skilled in the Webster technique to help a baby turn. Acupuncture can also help. Finally, your doctor can try…
Maybe as important as “how” to push is when. Waiting to push until your body is basically forcing you to do it, i.e. when it is literally impossible not to, rather than simply when you are dilated to 10 and doing it on the doctor’s command and county, is far more effective. In my experience, it feels like your body is…
Yep. At Binny’s it is is $17, sometimes $14 on sale. Whole Foods and Target charge about $20-25. As someone else mentioned, I assumed the $80 was the marked up price.
I agree the sensitivity of the test really matters for the TTC* (“trying to conceive”) crowd who is testing during the TWW (“two week wait”) between ovulation and their period. Studies have show that First Response is by far the most sensitive home pregnancy test. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16295647.
The Daily Mail is such a racist piece of shit. It’s not even subtle. Good for Malia.

“Preexisting conditions slowing metabolism means you just need to eat less.”
Thank you so much for this. Hormonal balance, nutrient balance, sleep patterns, etc. all have such a massive impact on one’s ability to lose and maintain weight, especially for women. People grossly underestimate the impact of things like cortisol levels, individual thyroid hormone levels and how they interact…
Also, a lot of millenials are well into their 30's now. They aren’t exactly “those kids” anymore. They are adults who are (trying to be at least) contributing members of society with financial and familial obligations, with a decent amount of their own life experience. The dismissal and derision of millenials as…
Haha you and I are opposites. I find LVP’s cotton candy world oddly infantilizing and visually unappealing. I feel like her clothes are a cross between Dynasty wardrobe castoffs and stuff she got at Prince’s estate sale. (Spoiler: Prince wore it better.) Her house is so weird to me with the glass doors. It looks like…
My dislike of LVP (on this show at least)* stems from her willingness to levy attacks, but her unwillingness to stand and take the ones lobbed at her. Yes, people have been “coming for her” (i.e. having disagreements with her) for seasons. But whenever she is called out on her shit, she runs and hides. She leaves…
This made me legit laugh. Babies are so freaking weird.
Man, I am so taking this advice to heart this time. Last time, I was home on maternity leave with the baby and, in retrospect, was SO STRESSED OUT when she napped. I was almost paralyzed with fear of what I should try to do in the 30-60 minutes I had. Do I shower? Do I poop? Do I eat? Do I do dishes? Do I do laundry?…
You clearly didn’t read my post. First, that is not how we did CIO. I didn’t mess around for a few days and suddenly try an hour. I researched it, had a plan that I discussed with a physician with an extensive background in sleep training and infant sleep research, and I committed to following that plan. After the…
That’s a low bar for a 6 month old.
