I'm a super anxious flyer and this would've made me feel way better. Serious.

Menstrual sponges were a lifesaver doing fieldwork in Belize. Just rinsed it with bottled water, squeezed it out and either put in the other one or stuck it back in. Rinsed with hot vintages water nightly! It sounds like a lot of work but I was way more comfortable than my coleagues doing pads or ‘pons!

Not that she's wrong, but she's incredibly dismissive and it must not exist if 'she' ( and katia82 sounds like a 21 year old male philosophy major) hasn't experienced it. It's simply not possible for someone assigned female at birth not to experience sexism on one level or another in North America.

I kinda wondered that myself.

Eh, you still sound very....desperate? To show me how down-ass and liberal you are, and how you're "not like other girls" and haven't "experienced sexism". The fact that you had to tell me you were into math and sports shows me you have experienced it. Sexism is systemic, and it hurts us all.

It sounds like you're really young, and maybe have some internalized sexism.

We're on the same west coast, oui? Cause outside safe space events in east van and maybe environments ran by nurses, women still get talked over and interrupted by men all. The. Time. It's a giant pissoff. I was talking with a prof and a male student just walks up and starts asking her about something when we're…

That's actually not a bad setup. The NP thing worked out for my step-mom though, once they figured out it was cheaper than paying disability

She should get 'em to shell out for her to do her NP so she can do "light duty" tasks without risking re injury

Heh, most families that are reform/conservativeish that I know are like that we would be too had my sister and I developed a taste for pork...we've both tried it and don't like the taste of it. Shellfish, however..../evil grin

My catholic dad has a bar fridge where he keeps his coldcut ham, bacon etc. That, friend, is how you stay married for 25+ years.

A couple girls mooned at Angkor Watt last year too....

BURT!!! Hello! We miss you!

Do we live in the same country? Cause where me (and my status card) are, people really think we're exaggerating or looking for attention....on top of scamming for welfare and not paying taxes (we do pay em)

Ugh. Unless you work in -40c or you're from a community where you use all of the animal you kill, you don't need fur. End of story.

Plus piercing guns, ugh. I will send the APP articles to anyon/everyone I know who talks about getting their kids ears pierced, and get accused of 'starting drama' all the time cause of it. " they're doing what's best for their kid"....but it's not though.

Yeah....swing and a miss, period.

was anyone else super uncomfortable with NPH singling out Octavia Spencer?

Hate to be picky, his name is Luna Cobra. He, Joeltron and Russ Foxx have been doing scleral tattoos for several years now, with varying success. Another user posted a clicky link to BME, which has fantastic information and is essentially peer reviewed. It's not something I'd choose, but I'm ferociously defensive of…

Lifering! They're secular!
