Honestly, I’m of the opinion that, if your periods are causing you trouble, you’re in good health otherwise, and your doctor doesn’t see any reason why you shouldn’t be taking it...give it a try and see if it works for you. I’ve noticed improvements that I hadn’t even considered might be possible until I finally had a…

Oh, trust me, I definitely don’t feel like I’ve lost anything by being on birth control - not having my internal organs adhering to each other has made a massive difference in my life. I’m just saying, even if I did lose a little bit, it would still be worth it to me because I’d be gaining so much in return.

The thing that really annoys me is that they refer to “The Pill” as though there is only one hormonal birth control option out there and it’s this giant monolithic EVERYONE’S EXPERIENCES ARE THE SAME.

I felt like somebody had stolen my baby.

Fistbump of solidarity, here.

Waskom, Texas: where we love to waste taxpayer money on lawsuits brought because we decided to posture about issues that don’t affect us.

As an O- donor I really don’t need this service, because the Red Cross is already entirely too willing to email, call, and send postcards to me on a constant basis, even when I just donated the week before and they know I’m not currently eligible.

Once the server asked me if I wanted dessert and I said no thank you, I’m full. The server nodded and replied, “I’m not surprised, you sure ate a lot of food!”

What really gets me is their “lie like a parent” tagline. Yeah, sometimes you don’t tell your kids things. Sometimes you have to do the polite fibs. But outright lying about what they’re eating is an excellent way to 1) erode their trust in you and 2) lead them to associate moral values to certain types of food (which…

High school typing class with typewriters and these flat cardboard books that would stand next to the typewriter and give us drills to follow. Two spaces after the period, how many lines to put between parts of a memo, all that good stuff. The typing class teacher also was the advisor for FBLA at my school and she…

Uuuuugh SDCC (or just about any fandom con) question askers are the worst. They either stumble for five minutes through an awkward fangasm/thanks before actually asking a question, if they even have a question and not just “you are soooooo cool I just wanted to say,” or it turns into a “you’re doing this wrong because…

Joe, please go back to being a meme. You were actually likeable that way.

No, really, I love living in a Mira Grant novel

And yes I’m allowed to use that analogy having been raped at the age of 19.

Yeah, there’s always a loss in one direction or the other. Good thing hairties are cheap enough they’re basically designed to die in service.

How thick is your hair? I’ve tried ties shaped like that before and they’ve never been able to hold my ponytail, because my hair is really super thick and annoying. Are the ones you linked made of something that won’t slide?

Not to mention that the headband is showing as “unavailable” on Amazon anyway...

Ever since they removed that gold piece they break on me more often, but....better that than having that easily snaggable bit on the elastic.

In my heart I’m a multimillionaire so someone get me a gold-plated toilet, already.

I have really thick hair that eats hairties for breakfast, and my favorites are the “slideproof” ones by Goody that have a band of silicone to keep them from slipping off:
