Orrrrrrrrr if you believe a certain popular fan theory, Jon Targaryen.

Also, this writer seems awfully judgmental about other denominations. I’m very glad she had a good experience in her church, but I find it hard to swallow that she knows for a fact that *all* other churches don’t measure up to hers.

The fact that a pastor’s kid wrote this piece and has the nerve to tell us how the church is full of warm fuzzies makes me spitting mad. What a sheltered, privileged existence. Of course the church was great for her... Evangelicals practically worship pastors and their families.

Artistic interpretation of magnolia = Star of David that’s been eating too many kreplach?

Honestly, that's probably the one theory he has that isn't all that far off from the truth.

“It’s a terrible state of affairs, Jonathan Snow, the president of UH’s faculty and person behind the safety presentation, told The Chronicle of Higher Education.

You don’t need to defend Hitler, this isn’t the hill to die on.

I was on the pill. Took it religiously 8pm every night. I also knew absolutely that I was pregnant before waiting for the missed period, my body was so in tuned to the changing hormone levels.

I want to write the people who designed the Mirena a love letter. It works wonders on my PCOS symptoms as well without making my blood pressure skyrocket like the Pill.

My BC+condom child will be four next week.

I feel so weird about a foreign object within me for so long, but I have been wanting to switch from the depo shot, really just because even every three months is not low maintenance enough sometimes lol I am so lazy. Anyway I digress, what is it like?

My mom told me about the type of BC that failed in the conception of each of her kids.... I’m so glad I have an implant now. It takes so much worry away about misuse, missed pills, and condom failure. I'll take 99.9% effectiveness any day.

Clearly my decision not to be a mother has been supported by my body because I was absolute shite at taking my birth control, from age 16 until my early 30s. Late, not at all, doubling-up, mis-counting, skipping the placebos, vomiting them up... Reading your story, and the follow-ups - I’ve been luckier than I…

...and this is one of the reasons I’ve never had sex. I could triple up on methods and still be terrified, because all of it can fail (and with my luck WOULD).

Eesh! I have a friend who has her condom child, her BC child, and a shot child, I think. You poor woman.

Also, can we talk about just how difficult it is to actually manage “perfect use?” I take the combination pill, mostly because it is, in my mind, more controllable than an implant or an IUD. I think I’m pretty good with it- I skip or am late on maybe 2-3 days a year, and I always take the extra pill as soon as I…

This is brilliant, thank you for writing it. And just to help you contextualize your experience a little, the second-largest group of women needing abortion in the U.S., (though not Canada) is women between 40 and 45 who are mothers. It’s not you, though your copper IUD failure is a spectacular one!

So you’re saying you made a well thought out, reasonable decision about your health and your body; the people responsible for it did not judge or subject you to their personal bias; and your supportive partner was there for you and cared for you before, during and after.

I asked my cat if he would be into being fed less.
