Yeah... I've got the medical side covered. All I was looking for were personal testimonials. 'Random internet strangers' are precisely what I was looking for but thanks for thinking I don't know how to do proper research on medications/medical devices.

Oh god. That sounds simultaneously wonderful and terrifying. I'd be worried about being pregnant and not realizing it. I realize that is very unlikely with an IUD (with or without a second form of BC) and there are other signs of pregnancy and whatnot, but I am a nervous girl.

Thanks for that. I will definitely check that site out, too.

But seriously, are there any negative things to be said about this? I reeealllly like the idea of an IUD (largely pending health insurance struggles), but I also really enjoy knowing when my period will start down to within a few hours on the pill. Is this weird to ask 'what is your period like'? Because that is what…

*ahem* Krampus. That is all.

One time, I had a couple of pet rats. They were sweet. And rats are about a bajillion times less likely to bite you than mice or hamsters, so don't worry about them so much. If stray cats don't freak you out, random rats shouldn't be the end of the world.

I feel like Merkel has come up on Jezebel a number of times. She is one of the more powerful women in the world. It's also come up on a different thread before that Jezebel has quite a few German readers, or at least, readers who are also German speakers.

I live in Michigan, too. I was at the A2 art fair this summer at the Planned Parenthood tent getting people to sign cards saying they were absolutely against this. We got a lot of signatures, but I guess our feelings didn't even fucking matter.

Yeah, that made me uncomfortable, too. Miley's 'people as props' thing is just... bad.

Off topic but I made this amazing discovery about (certain) plane headrests on my last flight. Get this. Some of them bend. As in, you can bend them around your head a little bit so you can fall asleep without your head flopping anywhere and waking you up. With that, a neck pillow, an eye mask, and some painkillers,…

Jesus Christ, guys. What's with all this snarking on a fucking CHILD? For a kid who suddenly finds herself this famous, I think she is conducting herself pretty damn well. She's barely even 17. You know where I was at 17? Somewhere a lot more awkward and a lootttt less successful than this.

I felt the same way.

I own one of these. Personally, I think it's great. Although it is reeealllly hard to clean the plastic bladder.

Can we all take a minute to appreciate that the German for 'birth control pill' is 'Antibabypille'?

Whoo! Gleiche Rechte!

It was odd. Also, the black student population isn't really that small. Mainly because it is a very large university, but still. But whatever. Everyone seemed to have a really good time so good on them, I guess.

I don't believe my university has homecoming Kings and Queens (maybe they do and I am just oblivious to things I wouldn't care about anyway?), but there is a specific Black Homecoming (which I was also unaware of until I catered it a couple weeks ago) that has a king and queen. And yes, it did say specifically on the…

I hate walking with especially tall men (tallest ladies I know are only ~6 feet). They don't even realize I'm struggling with their stride. -.-

Let's be real, they can't do much more than shuffle step. If I could get 4 of them to do the same thing at the same time I felt wildly successful.

As someone who taught 4-5 year old children how to tap dance - yeah... this looks about right.
