Coming up next on PLOS ONE: Genital grooming in Felis catus and atmospheric carbon dioxide.

I thought it might be Portland swaying that with general new-age crunchiness, considering the whole flourinated water vote-down debacle. Seriously, Portland, I've tasted your tapwater - it's not very good.

I live in a cheap, no Obamacare-having, ignorant-assed red state. Free vaccination clinics are absolutely everywhere. They are available in every single county. The pharmacies even do them for free. Cost is not the issue.

You mean like this federally funded free vaccination program for uninsured children?

Yes! I feel like I end up shouting from the rooftops about the migraines thing when this comes up but seriously. I consider myself somebody who's informed and I was on birth control for ten years during which time my migraines got increasingly worse. It's not just that your chance of stroke increases if you get…

It's called pili multigemini. I have no idea how common it is, but I get it too. The sides of my chin get it the worse, sometimes getting as thick as a mm. Its AWEFUL when they get ingrown. Though good shaving soap and sharp razors keep that to a minimum. It's also why I don't grow a beard, because it means the itchy…

Not necessarily. I have severe migraines and choose tho stay on the pill. My stroke risk is minimal and so wOrth controlling my migraines and endo.

The worst is when they sit in there for a while and start to build up that milky film around them. I've had some that got so big they refused to come out because they couldn't fit back through the follicle.

Yeah seriously I'm a ballroom dancer and I was like, no shit, AB swavroskis.

Yep. My ex used to have this problem too. I guess that's why it's just kinda fascinating to me to watch and not get grossed out.

Interesting we'd have this article so close to an article discussing the young American skater who can't land a quad but has amazing footwork and style.

Having made skating dresses (as well as stripper costumes, burlesque costumes, and drag queen costumes, and dance dresses for whole fucking teams, and ugh on and on). Material costs are high (good spandex and illusion netting ain't cheap!), patterning can be surprisingly weird (and thus take up a lot of time) and the…

I had no risk factors, but I had a pre-stroke at around 20. Thankfully, my doctors jumped on it and took me off of hormonal BC right away. I now have an IUD, and while it has its downsides, it could be worse.

This is my all-time favorite skating costume if not my all-time favorite garment of the entire universe

Re:clear skin

I started getting complicated migraines when I went back on the pill (say 3 a week). As soon as I figured out what was happening I quit that shit and haven't looked back.

This was pretty much my experience with the copper IUD as well. Oh dear lord the bleeding. So very much bleeding.

All those Swarovskis! The difference between the fire in those and regular rhinestones is night and day. I swore that Gracie Gold had a contract with the company because, wow!

Back when I was an athlete in high school and college, I NEVER had sex the night before a competition. Sadly, neither did I the night after. Or the one after that. Or the one...

I'm definitely just gloating here because I'm so proud of him and full of adrenaline, but Jason is my younger cousin. He is as fantastically earnest and hilarious and vivacious in real life. We're all so incredibly proud. Thank you so much for this piece!

ETA: Here he is with my grandparents being adorable as…
