I 100% agree with the article. It’s all super valid. I also haven’t had a pregnancy but I teach reproductive system to students so I’ve experienced the two extremes: students who have no idea and rose colored classes and students who are ready to drop their birthing horror stories.
To fill in a blank:
One major reason…

I think one issue is that Denver metro never plows. They all know it’s going to melt in a couple of days, so why spend the tax dollars? That combined with the CA and TX transplants that were mentioned above, and you get this situation.

I suspect that this fish experienced the same issue as the famous blobfish: extreme tissue damage from being hauled up from the depths too quickly. All of these slimy, blobby things are not slimy and blobby, they look like that because they live their lived under the intense pressure of the deep sea. Then fishermen…

The way I see it is that ‘OK Boomer’ is a response to something negative that the person has done, while ‘Lazy Millennial’ tends to get tossed out without a person having done anything to comment on. ‘Lazy Millennial’ is an insult.  ‘OK Boomer’ is a retaliation to an insult.

Cutting her out was the right move. It’ll benefit the 8 year old in the long run, too. 

The best part of wearing masks has been that I can’t smell everything all the time.

My read on this is that in a couple of years, after spending money on racist policies, republicans will claim there’s no legitimate exemption for abortions anymore because there are no more rapists. Thus abortion can be completely illegal. That may be what’s happening in their deluded brains.

If it’s safe, sane, and consensual, go for it! But there are also gentle and intentional ways of treating these muscles if she’s not into it.

AMEN might be loosening muscles of the pelvic floor and addressing pelvic floor asymmetry without realizing it. Depending on the size of the dildo, they could be massaging some other deep muscles as well. It is possible to get legitimate massage and physical therapy on these muscles, especially in countries that…

For me, having played BoTW to death, these self-imposed limitation runs are a way to enjoy the game in a new way.  It’s that feeling of “I wish I could wipe my memory of this game entirely and experience it for the first time all over again” because it’s that good the first time, but the replayability, as is, isn’t…

My house, built in 1910 but guts rebuilt 7 years ago, has upside-down plugs downstairs and right-side up plugs for most of the upstairs rooms. Nothing to do with switch controls. :/

Just here to support this. Marfan’s comes with joint pain and dislocations, and the possibility of things like retinal detachment and sudden death due to arterial dissection, among other things. As a person with a (different) connective tissue disorder, I work out to support my joints so that I don’t fall apart. It’s…

Men discovered the clittoris in 2009 so...
(The first article describing the full extent of female erectile tissue that I can find in an academic journal was publish in ‘09)

I’ve taught Pathophysiology and can confirm that what is in the undergrad textbooks for endometriosis are severely lacking. I’m even surprised to see the “11% of women have endo” figure because we actually don’t know. When exploratory surgery is done, as many as 50% of AFAB people have ectopic endometrial tissue…

Agreed.  Schools at various levels need multiple, credible accounts of behavior before they can address it if they haven’t seen it themselves. 

I haven’t seen this take yet, so...

Oh man, I hear you.

It’s embarrassing that I know this, but Meyer does establish in the books that the family has inter-generational documents forgers. People they pay handsomely to not think too hard about making documents that prove their chosen age and identities every few years.

I mean, you should see a sleep specialist. Your experience mirrors mine quite a bit. I shelled out about $500 across two sleep specialists to figure out that I have a circadian rhythm disorder, and 1 mg of melatonin at 7:30 every night makes me appropriately sleepy at 9:30 or so. It’s not 100%, but I’m sleeping better…

I have steady employment (I teach future nurses so my employment is...going to be secured for a long while for upsetting reasons) so I’ve donated about 1/3 of my stimulus check so far.
